Aprilia Riders

[ragnaphobia]

guys... pls be careful when riding in congested expressway. especially on rainy days.

 

 

i just skidded just now due to a car cutting in and hitting the brakes to pull to a stop suddenly on aye just now:angry: . the car in front of me had to jam brake to stop. i used my front brakes initially trying to stop but couldnt stop in time. so i used my rear brake and fished tailed.

 

now my handle bar is bent and i had a piece of my fairing chiped off.

 

i was keeping about 2 car length between the car and myself. travelling at 55-60 kmph.

 

i was afraid to hit my front brakes too hard. fearing that i might pull a stopie suddenly. i didnt like using my rear brake as i had history of fishtailing when i use it. however. i had to use it if not i will hit the car in front of me. that will be a horrible scene. so i fishtailed. and dropped my bike.

 

moral of the story?

 

LOOK OUT FOR CARS TRYING TO CUT IN ON CONGESTED EXPRESSWAY

 

-keep ur brake pads in check. make sure they allow u to stop by a reasonable stopping distance.

- ride slowly on rainy days.

- WEAR PROPER CLOTHING WHEN RIDING!! - i escaped this with some abrasions on my left arm thanks to the rain coat.

- keep a safe distance from the car in front of u

- dont ride in between lanes ( Im Sure most of us are guilty of that)

-if possible. dont ride if it rains

-ride slowly. dont rush ( i guess its not very possible sometimes ya?)

-KEEP UR EYES PEELED!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant emphasise this enough

 

right guys. this is my story. haha. so take care when riding guys. cos we are always paying for other road users mistake:thumb:

since i started riding long time ago, i never fail to remember one of the most important advice my father remind me...always never ride in the middle of your lane, stick to slightly to the left or right...cos if a car ever to brake, 50-50 chance u'll hit or swing by the side. One thing he never teach is to stick out middle finger afterwards...haha. Which i happily will give to those jackass drivers.

 

Anyway stopping by to say upz to the aprilia rider just now i saw at bkt merah using the giannelli exhaust.

well just a suggestion...next time try to use BOTH ur front and rear brakes when u wanna stop even during normal riding. this will help u to cultivate a better braking habit and also build up your confidence of using the rear brakes. if u fishtail during normal riding when applying your rear brakes, u will learn how to control the skid. its just a matter of confidence.

 

This cultivation is so that u will have a better braking method in times of emergency just like what you had experianced. good thing nothing happened to you. the machine can be rebuilt with money. have a safe ride dude!

err.. should cost less than 15 bucks i think. not very sure.

ppl clean spark plugs for prolonged life of the plug and also to check if bike is running lean or rich.

insurance will cover the rider and/or the machine depending on what kinda insurance u bought. u do what to the cdi no one will bother. and lastly breaking the cdi will not cause a vehicle inspection failure. this is ur first bike?

yeap 1st bik... thanks for the tip...jus wanna be sure... and after i break my cdi then can remove the flat spot at 5.5k rpm right? i read this in a webbie other country..and after brking the cdi horsepower will increase from 15 to 30hp right? so will use up more petrol? is that true?

power always comes with a price, petrol.

 

bricking the cdi only works on restricted CDIs. check the cdi serial number on your cdi and match the one on the site and make sure the first few numbers are the same.. i have one cdi that i self-bricked myself.. yet to glue silicone to cover it up.. hehe u wan? sell u $10

[YoShiKi1605198827]

for those who intend to derestrict their cdi, pls don't do it to ur very own working one . . . go buy a 2nd hand cdi to try . . . becos if it fails ur bike will not start up . . .

Flat spot is more on tuning there is no sure thing that after mod the cdi will remove the flat spot . . . NGK iridium is only $12 at ah boy . . . RS125 sold in singapore is already a full power RS . . . and mod cdi will not give u so much of hp . . . just imagine our RS is already around 25hp to 30hp (depending on mod) if by wat u say can increase so much extra hp then those people no need to buy RS250 liao . . .

Just talk to Chris, the website has already close down. But if anyone want to continue you can still carry on by paying certain amount by maintaning the domain name. The datebase has already been backup by Lawrance.

Jus a $8.50 NGK B9EGV will be more than enough... Change every 5000km or so will be more than enough
