[Zack939]

YES!

[Zack939]

Zack, thank you so very much for the oh-so-lovely info. I lost my hand-made headlight protector somewhere on the road so might as well ask if they have them too. Thanks bro!!

 

no probs bro!!

[Zack939]

yea man.. thats why i need people go with me.. i have set aside an amount for FF le :cheeky:

 

 

So which brand do u have your eye on bro?

 

theres alot of places to chose from when buying helmets. . .depending on which brand u want to get; "Regina for Agv & Ogk", "Chiap Lee for Arai", "Chong Aik for Shoei" & last but not least would be "Motorworld for HJC"

Yess... Motovation has stock for both items. Best lah.

 

But the headlight protector comes in clear tint only. Was hoping they have it in smoked tint. Haiz. Must go put solar tint i think. Hehehe...

so if one is selling a 03 model its consider as aprilia y2k?

 

I would say NO, in the singapore context. The Aprilia Y2k which is up to 2002 model in SG came with the huge ugly exhaust fondly refered to as milo kong. The 2003 model onwards are the ones that came with the stock small exhaust that can be seen in the pic.

 

Other than that, the internals of the bike are all the same if i'm not wrong.

wat Sub-zero say is true oso

 

but majority of the year 2000 & above model would be referred as Y2k hence the name

 

but bro, he did say dat "if one is selling a 03 model its consider as aprilia y2k". . . so it should be with the stock small exhaust rite?

correct me if i'm wrong guys. . .

irregardless of top or bottom, its still counted as an overhaul. . .

 

for a COMPLETE overhaul, top & bottom must be done depending on the milage OR condition of your bike

 

Running-in is a MUST to do after any overhaul dat has been done for the bike

Dude,

 

in our lingo, top end overhaul refers to changing of piston and top end gaskets on the cyclinder block. This usually includes changing of coolant as well.

 

Bottom end overhaul is more labour intensive. It involves removing the cylinder block to replace the conrod and the bearings below. As with top end, usually gaskets and coolant is changed as well.

 

Running in means to u ride the bike at a gentle pace increasing the intensity of riding gradually usually for 800 to 1000KM. The bike in question(which is the one I am selling) has not been run in as the owner has another bike to ride so he has not run in this bike after overhaul. Understand?

[smallapple]

thats cool. thanks for the help zack and Sub zero. ahha it really help mi alot =D

[smallapple]

here's another question for u guys. around how much is a 20yo aprilia rider? who is on P plate.

[Sub Zero]

Atleast $750 for third party.

[IZECUBEZ]

So.. What's the recommendations for running in?

 

I have to keep track as my ride is coming out in about 2 weeks time.

Some say 1000KM, some say 2000KM

1st 500KM how fast (RPM), the next 500KM, so on so forth..

[onitsuka2]

i think should be more expensive than $750. i got mine for 883 from NTUC last yea for third party and i was already 23 back then, with P plate! They asked me to pay 750+ when i wana renewed it this year so i checked to AXA and i only paid 383!!

So i guess yours shouldnt be too cheap ha

dont flame me if i am not wrong ha, just sharing my own experiences

[ragnaphobia]

here's another question for u guys. around how much is a 20yo aprilia rider? who is on P plate.

 

 

SGD 1800 during my time for RS 125 '06.

[onitsuka2]

Woot!

 

Found the answer to my question.

 

0-800km (6000RPM)

801-1600KM (9000RPM)

1601 - XXXXKM (Can unlease the devil)

In fact, there isn't any correct way of run in a 2-stroke.

The way you found is the "safe way". The "power" way is after warming up the engine to its working temp, ride hard to let piston & ring sit perfectly to the engine cylinder wall. This will ensure engine getting its full potential out. This how & what a GP bike do. Do you see any GP bike go "running in"? That will be rare scene.....:angel: Make your own choice.....
