Aprilia Riders

[ragnaphobia]

Bleah!

 

I forgot to change my sparkies when I swapped out the carb. Just did it during my lunch break just now. The old plug is showing me that my bike was kinda lean.

 

Observations on the tip of the sparkplug

1) Very light tone of brown (Greyish-brown)

2) Dry tip (abit flakey) and wet on the sides / rim (Its common to have oil deposits there)

 

I've put in another sparkie to try out for the night.

Idle screw set to 1500rpm (I forgot how many clockwise turns it was)

Circlip was set to the middle of the tapered needle

Mainjet is 158

 

Air screw set to 1 1/4 turn anti-clockwise.

1 1/2 seems abit too lean. Power delivery was there and it was scary when the needle refuse to drop below 2k rpm at the traffic light.

 

I'll post more pics tomorrow after an evening / a night with this setting

As of now, I'm contemplating on moving the circlip down 1 notch and see how it goes.

I'm really not interested in dyno anymore but if you really must know, I'd happily do it if you sponsor the 2 dynos.

 

We can have a bet. Dinner at Morton's Steakhouse.

 

Before tune-up (sorry cant post here):

 

High field - my bike pushes 28bhp or more at the crank (stock Boyeson reeds, 34mm carb, Arrow)

 

Low field - less than 22bhp

 

After tune-up:

 

High field - puts out an increase of 3bhp or more than before tune-up

 

Low field - less than 3bhp increase

 

how?

 

If the bet is on. i would like to make a bet too.

i think some mech dun even know how to adjust aprilia 2t lei... then wad is the knob that we can adjust ourselves at the carb ah? the new version aprilia still have? its the idling thingy right? does it improve/deprove performance?

[Sorrie4u]

sorry got a very important question... how do i get my 3rd party insurance myself for an aprilia rs 125 2008? last time my 05 rs125 using ANDA insurance at sim ming de... but i think it is under axa one the policy... anyone can advise where to get the cheapest 4rd party for rs125? how do i go abt it?

 

are there agents like car insurance like that to help sought for cheap insurance?

 

my riding experience is since 21st nov 2007... last time my rs125 ride for zhun zhun 12months so i dun think got 10% ncd right?

[schwein.bissen]

Yes ... Too low, engine easily die off at traffic junction. Too high, waste petrol.

You can go direct to ANDA to apply. Usually, AXA insurance is the cheapest.

Yes there are, but u will have to source for them.

how do we adjust the 2t tank supply?

 

At yr left side above crank case where 2T inlet control unit is. Adjust the cable tensioning will do.

Adjusting idling screw will not alter any improvement over engine performance. It just pushing the height of the carb slighter to its desire opening. 2-stroke engine is sensitive to change in ambience temperature, engine idling change in day & night, it is common, no issue at all.

Did you take out the plug after normal riding or you do a plug choke? If it is after normal riding, it is dangerous if you push harder and a bit long in time. You may want to lift up your needle jet position one step and check again. You can only do it step by step, don't just change everything. It will cause you no base line to work on.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! word~

[DavidDw]

hi guys, called around all the insurance agency and asked for quote... it seems many of them have an age limit on insuring a sports bike which is quite a common fact but just now I called WTT insurance agency which is under Mitsui Insurance and I learn a new fact that they can insure any sports bike of any makes but not Aprilia ? lol...

 

I guess I only left with NTUC haha... or anyone has other agency to reckon? I am 19 this year btw

[tomdick12]

I am 36 and my insurance was smooth and also low

 

The reason why insurance companies won't accept or charge high premium is because they believe 19 yrs old + sport bike = trouble waiting to happen. Not saying you bro but i do encounter alot of riders on the road and most of the younger one are reckless.
