DIY CRANKSHAFT REBUILD APRILIA RS 125 RS125



I always use LONG con rods , no reason other than they have always been excellent for me ,
other may be just as good , in fact i have heard rumours Mitaka Kits are very similar if not the same .

NOT THE BEST VIDEO BUT GIVES AN IDEA !!

Mark crank so you can split but get it back together as near as possible .

Press the cranks apart this is hard sometimes it involves cutting then in half with a grinder other times they split relatively easy.
