Aprilia Riders

[spiderman]

Thanks Spidey!

 

The throttle fits well on my Aprilia RS125.

 

I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to do a good job on the modification of my throttle control.

 

As for the performance itself, only one word - Outstanding.

 

I tried a Domino fast throttle before, and didn't like it as it just felt cheap and a little hard to control. But your custom design is of just the right size. The finish was so good, I felt that what I was paying for was totally worth it. And like I told you, I don't like free play, so after the minute adjustments, the throttle was not only very responsive, it was also very precise.

 

With merely the slightest increment and I can feel the movement of my wrist accurately translated into the desired power. When I need to go WOT (Wide Open Throttle), I only need to twist about two thirds of what I used to turn to get there. This means minimal wrist movement, but maximum performance in the shortest time.

 

Thanks again for the installation. I wanted to get my hands dirty but I made the wise decision to leave the fine work to the expert.

 

Loving the awesome pick-up!

 

Wow thats a fast review! Well thanks for trusting me enough to make your RS125 the first ever RS125 to have my throttle fitted. Have fun with your new found power my friend.

Good Evening ppl.

well.im a new rider.just pass my license days back and

getting my bike RS125 this weekend from mah motors.getting 1st hand.so anything

i need to watch out for this bike?i need to clarify some things also:

1)wads the running in for this bike uh?

2)most suggested alarm system for the bike?

3)things i should be aware of the bike(if any)

4)1liter hw many km can it go?

5)lastly,i wanna signal light for both front and back which is small in size.

i saw one 2nd hand rs125 in the mah motors with a small signal light.find the original

signal light is too big.any idea??

thx in advance.

 

1) Keep revs below 7,500rpm. Change gear oil after first 200km. This gets rid of all the metal filings and shavings from burrs leftover from the manufacturing process.

 

Then change again after 500km; then 1000km; then 5000km. Subsequently, just follow the manual or as and when you wish (depending on whether shifting gets more difficult or rougher).

 

2) Any alarm that taps into your bike battery will destroy your CDI, battery, and likely the voltage stabilizer, despite most alarms' marketing bullsh1t about low current usage and safe on CDI's. Use at your own risk.

 

3) Front caliper is high in demand as it fits most cup chai, so they're waiting to get stolen if you don't theft-proof them. Resist the urge to speed until fully and properly run in and you've gotten used to the bike's cornering and braking abilities.

 

4) 1 Litre of petrol should carry you about 30km, since this is a new bike. Any less and it means the mech who tuned it is fcuked up.

 

5) Go check out MotoWorld, Regina, Lim Ah Boy, and Chong Aik just to name a few.

Run in about 2000-3000km is good enough.

 

Not sure what you can get free but maybe can try getting rain coat, bike cover, full-face helmet (worth $40), accessories like Aprilia cap, keychain, lanyard etc.

mickey mouse.lol..if can where to get?LAB?

[craz_03]

Well, Mah is in this advertiser forum now. I still got a quote of $1500.. Better off buying it ELSEWHERE that is cheaper. I hope they are seeing this and think about revising the price for all the parts...

 

I rather buy it online where its cheaper even after shipping and currency conversion.. :|

 

Just because they dominate the market locally dont mean ppl will turn to other sources outside of Singapore to get their parts.

 

yoz yoz...

nice meeting u at PG on tues... =))

well if the RXZ is under your name then you go down to LTA will do and pay the transfer fee etc etc...

 

The insurance, whoever name is on the insurance call up and cancel it... you might need to go down to NTUC, I not sure.....

If you wan aftermarket mirror, can try get Kosu mirror.... I saw priller's one very nice and its anti-glare.... not sure if its the correct term but I don't thin its gonna be cheap... If not LAB should have but duno can fit anot....

 

If want to do No.plate can go ubi rd 1 there.... there seem to be famous, seen all kinds of cars and bikes do their plates there... and opposite is First Motor which you are highly reconmmended to visit because going back to Mah Motors for future repairs and servicing is not desirable.

[bapecraze]

hey guys. theres this screw driver sign on my digital meter there after 8k of mileage.

 

i checked the manual out n it says " it's time for servicing ". but my ques here is wad type of serviceing?

 

i service my bike every once in a month. (wash carb wash value n some simple stuffs by motor shop)

 

But wad servicing does the "screw logo" need? cos i heard got alot of types of servicing.

For those aspiring to replace their standard throttle with the fast throttle, please note that the throttle tension is slightly increased after installation.

 

If you remember your 'O' Level Physics, a larger force is required to move a load (the throttle slide, up against the throttle spring) faster with a larger wheel on a pulley system for the same distance than with a smaller wheel.

 

So you will find yourself twisting the throttle a little harder, ie. the throttle will have more resistance.

 

This is fine for bikes that use premixed fuel as the 2T cable is disabled, thus reducing the load. For bikes that are still using the 2T injector, you may feel that the throttle has more resistance, thus requiring more strength to twist it open. This is normal.

 

For 2000 RS125 (Y2K) and onwards, the throttle body is already larger so I think the fast throttle will greatly cut down the rotational distance needed to go WOT (Wide Open Throttle). Good for racers and fast riders; but I believe it will benefit the relaxed riders too, since this translates to less twisting of the wrist, especially in congested traffic.
