Greetings Aprilia riders. I am intending to sell my current bike and I am looking at a first hand RS125. Its more of to realise a dream I have had for about a year. I will have about 3k cash on hand for downpayment. If I get this bike, I will still intend to upgrade to class 2A and 3 but will not intend to get 2A bike because will also have family car to drive. Just a few questions for those that have bought a first hand or own a RS125. I posted this in the Aprilia RS125 06 thread but figured I would get more responses here.

 

How much total was spent on it? (This includes machine price, insurance etc..)

Which shop would be the best deal? (I know Mah sells, how bout Bike Production?)

Roughly how much a month need to be spent for servicing?

Is it true that since the RS125 is a European bike, if parts spoil need to wait about a month for the parts to ship over?

 

Thanks everyone for your valuable input.

I have the same queries as U. Can i join Aprilia outing although i am not riding 1? I would like to know more insights like maintanance fees for RS 125 and 250etc... Heard its EX but no1 able to tell me an est. figure.

[vipergod2000]

Hey guys. I just came back from a 'what i think is correct way to check the a/f' .

 

I just did a 0-about 140km/h whack to check my spark plug colour. I got it up there around 9-10,000 rpm (wasn't looking), then closed throttle/kill engine switch and let the bike glide to a stop. Took out the plug, using the NGK BR9EIX. The plug was still quite clean, but had a hint of black. I just went for rejetting yesterday and well I'm supposed to check.

 

Thing is, i'm unsure whether i should have kept the rev up and maybe hit 11,000 in 6th gear and held it there, or not. I read many different methods about testing your plug with the mid range throttle etc but this one seems best (at least from my perception).

 

I couldn't really go much further and had to stop cuz i was running out of road.. If not i don't think i'd be here typing this.

 

Anyone got any say in this?

1: Was the 'whack' long enough'?

2: Did i get it high enough/ Was this the correct technique to check the a/f ?

3: Black is rich, brown is just nice, white? i Hear it's when it's lean. What about grey?

 

Any help would be appreciated guys.

 

Cheers!~

Those who are intending to install air horn.. Heres something to share with your..

 

I installed at Bukit Batok Hua Ching..

 

cost me $71.40..

 

Horn was $55 bucks and installation is $15 + 2% for using nets..

 

PLS dont let the guy call ah koon install for you.. dont know is it the boss or what..

 

He dont know how to wire the switch so that i can choose between my current stebel electronic horn and air horn with a 2way switch..

 

He do until sian then last min he told me he need to charge $15 for the installation.. Last min pull this kind of stunt.. I waited from 8pm last night till 9 then the "boss" help me install. I left the place at 11pm.. He keep complaining hard to install blah blah blah.. He keep testing the horn.. Wasting my air horn..

 

His mechanic see him struggling with the wiring.. He offered to help.. The mech spent 5 min to figure out what **** he had done and fix it within 10min..

 

This will be the first and the last time I will go Hua Ching..

 

Thanks to his screwed up "boss"

 

Why cant he just say he not sure how to do it and ask the mech to do it?

 

Take his time to figure out the wiring and complain about how hard is it to install the horn and last min charged me $15 dollar for installation?

 

Bye Hua Ching.

 

Once bitten, Twice Shy.

 

You have been warned.

this is what i think...

 

when you want to read the spark plug you dont need to do it on the highest gear,since the engine didnt know running on what gear...

 

and try it on the slightly steep road,but if cant find one flat road should be ok

 

first you need to mark you throttle position,fully close,fully open half open.

 

by that you know the carb is running on main jet,neddle, or idle

 

you just need to hold on to full open throttle for about 1,5km or couple a sec.hit the kill switch and stop,just like you did.

 

full open throttle is for main jet

half open throttle is for needle position

1/4 open for idle,which usually we dont bother

 

if you see a black spot on your plug maybe you are burning you gear oil,

 

grey with residue probably to the plug are to hot
