Title: Aprilia Oil Filter Post by: peterblenk on 20 June, 2020, 09:45:04 AM Has anyone found a way to replace the original blade-type "filter" with a replaceable cartridge? I am thinking of making a new cap to the oil filter cavity, in which to fit a more modern cartridge. Or perhaps someone has fitted a full flow system, using a modern cartridge? Peter

Title: Re: Aprilia Oil Filter Post by: brian on 22 June, 2020, 08:04:32 AM Several of us have done an adaptation for the Augusta which uses a Renault 5 filter on an aluminium intermediary mount and I had wondered if this was the same as on the Aprilia as my vaned original has no actuating rods. I have not got round to examining the parts diagrams to see if is do-able.

Mike Title: Re: Aprilia Oil Filter Post by: brian on 24 June, 2020, 08:33:17 PM I can try to put on pictures and ink drawings of the Augusta one - works brilliantly. Had a look at S2 Aprilia handbook and that is different as it seems built into crankcase and not a bolt on.
Title: Re: Aprilia Oil Filter Post by: Mikenoangelo on 25 June, 2020, 08:42:57 AM Thanks Brian. having just dismantled the rocker gear of the Augusta I found that the rocker shaft had a fair amount of crud inside and that the cams and follower faces on the rockers were quite scored so better oil filtration would be a good plan.
Mike Title: Re: Aprilia Oil Filter Post by: Mikenoangelo on 27 June, 2020, 08:05:56 PM I can try to put on pictures and ink drawings of the Augusta one - works brilliantly. Brian - I found pictures of Dale Hick's version in the Augusta Newsletter and after a chat with him and some drawings I have the info needed to make one. Just have to get a large chunk of aluminium and start metal mowing! Thankyou for your offer. Miike Title: Re: Aprilia Oil Filter Post by: brian on 28 June, 2020, 08:46:36 AM Good. I had found my old pencil drawings and was thinking how to make the inner oil ways clearer. Now back to the Aprilia.............!
Title: Re: Aprilia Oil Filter Post by: peterblenk on 23 October, 2020, 05:25:06 PM Dear Mike,
Have you been able to make surther progress on your Aprilia oil filter? I'd be very interested, as would others, I gather. I have been unable to reach your email. Peter Blenk |
