Aprilia Riders

[tknge]

Ok. I'd rather get from the Taiwanese manufacturers direct and not through the dark side. You never know what could happen there. Get mugged at knifepoint, get falsely arrested for speeding (110km/h becomes 180km/h) by the corrupt coppers, or run over by heavy vehicles. Moreover, we don't even know if we can claim warranty and swap for another set if the ones we purchase don't work.

 

 

 

I think for Eddy they should be useful. He's very tall so it'll improve riding position. The inverted shifting is also a plus.

 

Ya....thats quite true hor...we could have better warranty....

There's an easier way.. Do a search..

 

All the pricing, what thing broke down, how to rectify the problem, where to service is all in here.

 

Even got links to user manuals, maintainance manuals and the stock carb manuals somewhere here. Go do a search.. Sorry ah, some of us really lazy to spoonfeed already.

Don't worry. You'll change your mind in 6 months' time, and you'll be riding that 400cc bike next year. Like everyone else.

Yes, it is a direct replacement for RS125. It retain the outer fork suction and footwork, replace the whole assembly of both slider, change to both spring w preload & damping adjustment. I saw few country web is selling them but I think UK or most Europe countries has the best selling price.

What brand are you referring to? S$350 per set type should be those non-adjustable type, not so exp. Adjustable type would be around 600~800. There is non performance change, only let you look good, shift your leg position if you leg n others leg are different and finally it can use inverted shifting.:angel: And lastly, a big hole in your pocket.

 

 

*Apologies. Meant US$350 onwards

 

Ah heck - forget it. Intending to upgrade in a year or two anyway, no point spending that kinda money. Especially when you will receive no value when selling the bike in future!

 

I can hear it now already....

 

"Eh brother, too expensive la... i have no use for the rearsets also, your bike cheaper can arh?" or maybe

 

"If 1.5k, i will buy from you, but 4.5k is really too expensive la..."

 

hahahahahah

 

Law - u are definitely trying to put hitoshi off buying an Aprilia! What happened to you last night?

So it doesn't include the brake mounts?

 

Looking at the webby, can't really tell.

 

I'll be ordering from UK or Japan. But at the moment can't decide if I should change my electrical system first, almost S$2k for the entire wire harness set and all other wiring.

Thanks! Sorry I did not see the post.

 

Seems like ordering from the UK sites is indeed going to be cheaper than getting them from the Japan sites.

 

Conversion from Euro is S$2,050. But from Japanese Yen, its S$2,510.

NO, use back original lower portion of the fork (brake mount).

Ya lor....this is a Italy product, maybe get from the original country will be much more cheaper? Or if you know some italian, may be can get better price leh.

[lacrimosae]

Hi tknge,

 

The water temp adapter is S$17. And the sales rep are ok with delivering to my hotel in TW on Sat evening.

 

Seems like this deal's going through. Am getting quite excited. haha...

[lacrimosae]

Wire harness itself is only about S$200. But then all my wiring is old. If you change just wire harness, and leave the rest of the bike's wiring, its like changing one battery in a 4-battery pack. If wanna change must change all, including rectifier, ignition coil, relays, signal and light harnesses.

 

We're looking at about 20 over parts to change. Total is almost S$2k including shipping.

I know a few Italians. But they are in the restaurant business. Will ask (beg) if he can bring in the forks together with his Italian herbs. haha
