Tempting! But nothing beats watching the needle on the Analog meters dude.

 

Question: Can 03 model forks fit onto the replica? Any issues with fitting the speedo gear? Or do i have to use the 03 model speedo gear? Which in turn leads the question, do i have to change my clocks to the 03 model? Any difference?

 

Cheers

 

If u referring to Tacho meter then I agree. Speed indicator is very linear, not accurate, so nothing much to admire about. :) Thats why all new model of different type of sport bikes all come with digital speedo & needle form tacho meter.:angel:

 

I think they have the same fittment. Only from 06 model onwards then they are different.

hi guys. recently my bike's rpm is weird.. after traveling for sometime(got open PV) and when comes the traffic light.. i stop..

 

i realise that my rpm remains at 3!! i kan chiong spider liao. so wait and wait.. then finally it slowly drop back to normal.

 

another problem is yesterdae while goin back from bishan to yishun. total engine died 6 times. problems are all bout the same while cruising for 1.5km - 2.5km engine suddenly no power.

 

so what i did was before it comes to a complete stop, i kick to gear2 and allow it to push start by itself.. if heng, still can make it. but onli 1-2times i manage to do it.. the rest all need to manual push start. electric start sometimes can sometimes cannot.

 

any idea?

so push again lor.. without realizing the fuel still off.. push push push... finally push back to my HDB and park.. see see look look.. then found out liao..

if you just need to refer for information can just do a search. theres still many online manual around

 

do you bought yourself 1st hand one ?

[shadantou]

bro jiro u got pm. =)

[lacrimosae]

oh.. okay.. noted.. thanks for telling.

 

but i do not rev and cut off immediately.. what i did rev little like 2-3rpm.. it do show that the voltage went up to 13v+.. then i stop.. 3-4 sec later then cut off.. so.. is what i did was totally wrong and will shorten engine lifespan??

 

I'm so sick of repeating this, so this is the shortened version:

 

- throttle before shutting off, fresh charge pushed into cylinder

- not yet combusted, so leftover unburnt fuel stays in cylinder

- contains 2T, but fuel slowly leeches the 2T, aided by gravity

- piston is not completely dry but lubrication may be less evenly distributed

- less lube = higher chances to get scratches

 

If you like throttling before shutting down, please continue. Your bike, not mine. I don't care.

 

No, really. I really don't care.

 

I only care about my own bike.

 

I don't conduct DIYs because I like to hang out. I DIY because I like maintaining my bike in tip-top. I don't care who shows up. There is no incentive for me if there are more people at my DIY. On the contrary, I feel pressured to not screw up in case my engine explodes. How embarrassing is that?! That's why I rarely do carb tuning unless I'm alone. Also, explaining takes a lot of time, and its usually about things that you can read up on your own. I prefer to share and discuss ideas (which promotes my self-development), not impart knowledge (which is one-sided and boring).

 

U mean your batt already 2yrs+? Guess the battery has reached its service already. U should be using a YB9-B batt size. Btw, after you have put in the fresh batt, chk if your charging voltage is above 14V ok? if its less than 13.85V, please have the rectifier check, as it might not be charging enough already.

 

Battery life is usually much longer if you recondition and charge it with a good charger.

 

I am so free these days, so if got any diy call me in...

 

I just got back to SG. Super tired and tom have early appointments till afternoon. If you don't mind DIY in the evening can drop by at 6pm.

 

Pls bring your own solvents and brushes. I just ran out, haven't bought new ones.

I have a battery charger that reconditions and charges the battery. Extends the life of your battery, and keeps it fully charged.

 

You might want to purchase one. Very useful. Can charge it when you start your DIY, and the battery will be ready to go once you are done.

Don't like that say lei im still a beginner in rs125. many things i don't know and need to learn too. i believe no one wants to damage their own bike:)

Like you said, provided you have a good charger. But no matter how, once the battery reaches its end of its battery charge cycle(typically 500-800 cycles), you will not be able to revive it.

[ãƒãƒˆãƒªãƒƒã]

No lah, I work a company that distributes car/bike batteries (Varta). I'm in charge of battery watrranty claims, thats why I have access to diagnostics battery chargers.

I meant to delete the old post but reposted instead. Somehow the delete function isn't working. SBF has always been a mess.

Gentlemen (or kids, whatever suits you),

 

Gone are the days you can use "prohibitive cost" and "hot weather" as excuses to not wear protective clothing while you ride.

 

Check out http://www.bikerslelong.blogspot.com/ for an ongoing PMO (Public Mass Order=person in charge does not earn a cent) for inexpensive (extremely affordable, really) riding gear.

 

The sooner we order and pay, the sooner the stuff comes in.

Post your orders here: http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=237295

 

The organiser has also mentioned that if we order the gloves in a large quantity, say 15-20 pairs, it might be possible to get the manufacturers to sew on a logo, be it the Aprilia logo or a club logo.

 

So check out the site soon, and soon, you can wave to one another with the same gloves. Cheers!

[shadantou]

thanks bro yoshiki!!!!

 

bro lacrimosae, count me in. gloves is a must when it comes to riding. and jacket too! the blog offers not bad apparels at a budget price. not bad find!

[IZECUBEZ]

But I already have a set, gloves, armoured jacket & fullface helmet.. i think the pants will be a good edition to it too.. :|
