Ollie.T's Aprilia RS250 rebuild and restore

[Fast Eddie]

Are they the same as a RGV? i have a spare

dunno, did your RGV come with Brembo brakes hehe

[Ollie.T]

RS250 has the mounting hole horizontal coming off the side of it, brake fluid outlet is coming off the bottom with a right angle thing

looks exactly like the one below.

I did say at the shop it didnt have to be OEM... so they ordered me a clutch reservoir off a RSVR? and now they are saying there is nothing that will fit in the country (which i find slightly hard to believe?)

Dude did you read the post I've quoted below? This guy knows what he is talking about.

So long as the outlet pipe is the right OD, you can use anything, doesn't have to be RS250. Just get yourself whatever you like from a wrecker and order one up next time you're getting some bits. Eurowhatsit is the NZ Brembo guy, he'll probably have a universal fit one in stock. FWIW, my RGV one was the same as GSXR750, so don't neglect looking at things like 916s etc.

How did you get on with the solenoid filters? Had they decomposed?

Yeah I did, I have contacted the local wrecker in wgtn, just waiting for them to get back to me. I posted the image on here in case anyone had a spare one lying round in their bucket of bits - preferably one with the mounting bracket horizontal so I dont have to scrounge around for something in order to mount it.

It just seems strange that the dealer are saying that there is nothing in NZ that will fit (OEM or aftermarket) when, as imdying said, all that really matters is the outlet pipe OD... Might give a different shop a call, see what they say...

What was the OD in mm? I think I have a Tyga one that's 6mm.

[Ollie.T]

OD is 7mm

and its up and running!! (who thought i would never make it? Be honest...)
Bodged a reservoir on there with zip ties (might have to get a reservoir cover thing for it when i take it in for a warrant...)

Hopefully get the running in finished tomorrow, warmed it up and let it cool a few times, took it for a short ride (keeping it under 6-7k rpm)
any advice on making sure it doesnt go boom?

there are still a few things i want need to do on it in the next week or so, so its still not finished yet... and it needs another clean already!
