The Stone KZread channel follow's my love for motorcycles, cars, big boys toys & a few cool creations in the workshop.
If you've flicked through a few of the video's it should be clear I'm a pretty big petrol head with an un-healthy obsession with BMW M-Cars, old sports bikes, a little Renault Sport Clio 172 Cup "wanna be race car" and a few creations from the garage.

I have the exact same 1 chilling in a shed, maybe it's time to put her back on the streets. I Mean it's just been what 14 years?
coming along nicely. I find brining the fork up through the tripples about 4 - 5mm sharpens the steering a tad. This is on the stock rear shock that sags too much. Micht befine on the upraded shock you have
low miles aprilia RS125 full power for sale on gumtree. only done 101 miles
Thanks for the video, I'm curious would this work better than a Boosterplug as that richens the mixture through the entire range??
Finally I've found someone who agrees with me 100% regarding the e46 M3 sound. Every aftermarket exhaust completely ruins the sound of that fantastic I6, they became simply too raspy to appreciate.
Excellent guide. Thank you for this.
A car that revs to over 8000 rpm but has weak rod bearings the typical BMW junk
I am wondering, the engine of this bike is four cylinders. Is that means that that the engine fires in every 90 degrees, or there is cylinders firing in the same time? Can someone explain it to me?
15:00 that is why it stack. The red seal dryes out to glue
Great video Nice to see a bit of elbow grease working its magic
How's the call quality on this unit in your experience? I upgraded from the previous model with an external microphone to this model, to try and improve call quality but callers are reporting a terrible echo on their end of the phone. Are you experiencing the same?
Iv got the rc8 it has an acpovic and maped to 179 bhp
Not sure what year your E46 is but mine was 2004.5 model and the CSL SMG software came with M mode for the traction control which was excellent and much less intrusive than standard traction control
You killed it amico! Beautiful
Enjoy Assen, been twice. Watch your security there though, keep your bike locked with a lock through the back wheel and keep your valuables in the bottom of your sleeping bag if you're camping. I had my phone and wallet nicked from inside my tent while I was asleep and I've heard of bikes being nicked and revved til they blow in the past. It's still a great trip though.
Think i would of gone black top yoke with white lettering.
Thanks mate, this is very inspiring video to rebuild mine
seen a 60k KM M3 e92 for 60k... 2013
Retrobright the windscreen. Its not a product its a process. There are videos that explain it better than I can but basically its soaking it in hydrogen peroxide while using UV lights. It removes all the yellowing and you wont risk melting or burning by trying to machine polish it back to clear after sanding.
i dont get it. you restore road bike to race only bike ? I am a little disappointed to tell the truth. The fairings can be seen to be of poor quality.
I had the RGV250 .. but they were all from the same 2 stroke stable.
Great video, thanks for the update and maybe see you at Assen!👍
Great video mate, awsome work. 👍👍🤘🤘
Finish is perfect on fork top bracket 👏🏻, the lines are gorgeous on the grp. Can't wait to hear that engine. 👍🏻🇮🇪
Love your videos mate. Always look forward to an update
Pleased to report the NEXX product placement is going well…😂
Top yoke looks great with the Aprilia logo in black.👍 You've made a lot of progress this episode.
You forgot to give my channel a shoutout 😂!! I’m going to be uploading my restoration videos later this week. Just finishing up the pick up video so please do give it a watch mate. I’m sure you will love what iv got lined up.
Yes the triple should be aluminium like you did, IMO, as it was on my 1995 RS Extrema… looks excellent to me. Glad you didn’t go black on the triple.
Well done pal great job 👏 rs125 was the bike to have when i was 20, that and the cagiva mito
Yokes are spot on,especially with the blue fork cap bolts👍
on the screen use t-cut and the toothpaste to restore.
Lift with a platform is very useful ,you could have used to hoist rear end if frame to raise for engine removal and installation. great for heavy lifting of any sort I use them almost daily
Bikes of Rye is only good for the comedy , he is dangerous to himself and anyone who rides the bikes he has DONE. Does not know anything about bikes or tools and how to use them!
Hello you going to paint inside. Black are going to leave it white on outside. I think it look better if it painted
when the swingarm is ALU you can just weld a nut onto the broken stud, ive done that plenty of times on wheels and frames :)
T cut or similar polish should bring up your screen andalotof elbow grease
PTR count 37! seriously though it's coming together and looking nice.
G'day James , I was in Assen 2006 back then it was a Saturday race, but It was the time of my life, working in Germany ,driving up to Holland, and seeing the late Nikki Hayden winning and of course Lorenzo on the 2 stroke 250 ....just mint. Have a blast mate.
Looking good.
Works a treat like most decent detailing products.
You really getting through this build now mate and the screen you thought about giving it a light tint with some tint spray so takes your eyes away from the fading maybe a light tint enough to get rid of the fading colour but keep up the hardwork mate you doing great and with having a life and working i know you can struggle fitting everything in
Looks great! As a former PSV fitter we didn't use easy outs' often but choose to drill and tap as the better method! as easy outs more often broke and created more problems! If you respray the fairing / seat couling simple silver black with your new c/helmet logos
Ooh, youtube recommends! Damn. Already follow them all 😆
Top Yoke looks Great tbh Its coming together very nicely..
Huge progress! Really coming together nicely. Very jealous of the Assen trip too. Have fun! 👍
Thank you 👌😎 Shall hopefully be filming the trip for the channel so you can enjoy it virtually in a few weekends 😅👌
Coming along nicely!! 😎
Cheers mate 😎👌 Need to catch up on your latest episode! Should try and get a collaboration when there both done 😎
Man , I am waiting for the first ride and wanna see your excitement after all this time with this bike 😁. Cheers for the hard work mate, in this episode looked harsh with these body frames!
You and me both, let’s hope it comes out as planned 😬 Cheers mate, yep this was a big episode and although it looks like it was filmed in half a day this was a few weekends 😅
Bikes looking great I have been waiting for this video I was so excited when I got the notification I was just thinking you should make some merch I would 100 percent buy some 🤟
Glad to hear 😎👌 Thanks for the support, I really need to kick me arse into gear and get the merchandise on the go!
I’ll be at Assen as well so will keep a look out in case I spot you in the ~100k crowd! 😂
I’ll no doubt be drunk so look for swaying sun burned me and come say hi 😅👍
@@stoneautomotivedid I see you on the ‘fan photos’ on the big screen?? 😂
