Pardon Shinya's singlish.. Not standard yet..

[Rider125]

i saw 1 aprilia rs125 in mah motors got the sliders at the side of his fairing..

and its already half shaved by his fall or something.is it good to have it on my

rs125?i dont wan break my fairing siya..but than ours is the aluminum frame rite..

will it bend if i fall??when i check tt aprilia with the slider his frame still strong..hmmmm

Hmm... last time I enquire about frame sliders before, it all depends on how are the sliders installed to your bike... last time I enquire was they drill into my frame which will risky of dent on my frame with fall...

 

If you were to crash your bike most likely your fairings will just break but frame bend its very rare unless you got into a major accident, if you drop the bike then damaging frame is almost impossible as the impact is not big enough.....

 

However I think some of the riders here got frame sliders from Motivation Accessoriess, you could check them out and ask them how it the installation is and your worry will it damage the frame of the bike upon fall... Sliders cost about 300+ if I remember correctly....

hey bro..thx once again fro replying me so quickly.

well..if its really gonna be useful and save my frame from normal dropping

than i wil be glad to pay the 300+ bucks.

np..

 

Anyone got gianelli exhaust or arrow exhaust for sale ? Looking for good condition ones... no cracks etc etc...

[Zack939]

just a normal aprilia stock look alike design bro. next time if i ever see again i will take a picture.

 

but all i can say is, paint job makes a difference to the design. a well done one on a normal design looks stunning man.

 

Hmmm interesting....I need to see how good his "normal aprilia stock look alike design"...need to do up my left side fairings

[DavidDw]

might be going for this upcoming track day.... which on the 24th...80RM for 3 hrs ! which I think is a good price... can relax and track don't have to rush....

 

Anyone here interested to go together ?

 

I might be going only ah..... just doing an interest check....

[quikslvr]

I live in jurong west meh~hahahaha!!

 

oh i saw u then.im on the opposite direction @ JW ave 5 riding my pizza delivery bike hehe

You can check out frame-sliders, frame/crash bobbins, at Motovation.

 

Our bikes don't need it (read: are not designed to have frame sliders). But if you want to fit it, just be warned that our frames are aluminum monocoque, designed to take torsional loads not lateral impacts. If you crash or drop the RS125 with a frame slider installed, you risk denting the frame.

 

For me, the choice between a scratched fairing and dented main frame is simple and clear.

 

Just in case you haven't read about this.

 

If you open your fairings and look at the other side of your frame, notice the ribbed lattice inside? Those structures make the frame very strong torsionally. Which means the frame won't flex or bend if the force is generated from below.

 

No guarantees if the forces are lateral, which means the impact comes from the side, ie. in a slide/crash/drop.

 

If you want to put crash bobbins/frame sliders for aesthetics, just pray you never ever drop or crash. Just my 2 cents' worth.

BUT law mine have how??? mine same structure as r 125??

[quikslvr]

your tuono same frame with the rs125.so i guess all u out there with frame sliders on our bike can remove and sell it as scrap rubber

[Mdsufie]

If i were to buy some parts like front brake disc, where can i get?? Online purchase?? How much roughly it cost??

You can find parts here.

 

If you are interested to buy new, can place order from PJME but because their shipping is very expensive (£45.00 = S$102) regardless of quantity of your order, we usually combine our orders and bring in all at once so we can share the shipping costs.

 

If you don't mind a used brake disc, I have a beautiful Galfer wavey disc, as featured in my signature photo. Still in very good condition, selling for S$150.

[Mdsufie]

Nice. Heard wavey disc is good. You not using??

[lacrimosae]

Not sure if you've read my reply completely or you've conveniently left out the important bits, so below is my reply, with important bits highlighted in bold.

Yes, wavey disc is good. Shunts water and muck out, better braking in the wet etc etc.

 

Just in case you're wondering why I'm selling, I don't like the color, so am changing to a disc with a gold alloy inner hub.

Maybe I'm not rich enough to see the world in your perspective...

[lacrimosae]

A correctly jetted carb makes a tremendous difference in the torque, midrange pull, top-end pull, and over-rev of your engine. If you have never jetted your bike correctly, you will almost certainly gain some performance at some point in the bike's powerband.

 

A cleanly jetted pilot circuit can be the difference between having to clutch the bike out of a turn or not. The needle can make all the difference in the world for the power of the machine in most situations, as it controls the throttle range that most riders spend most of their time using.

 

A correctly sized main jet could mean the difference between being able to rev out high enough to not have to shift one more time at the end of the straight, or the power falling flat on top and requiring you to make that extra shift.

 

Are you fouling plugs? Many people will tell you all sorts of band-aid fixes, from running less oil, to running a hotter plug. Both are incorrect fixes for plug fouling. It's all in the jetting.

 

The only way to know what jetting changes you will need is by trial-and-error. No one can give you jetting specs, because every bike is different, every rider has a different style, and jetting is totally weather dependent. Unless the person telling you what jets to use is riding an identical bike, on the exact same track, at the same time, his recommendations are meaningless.

 

Jetting is fairly simple, and is a useful skill to learn if you ride a two-stroke and want it to perform at it's best.

 

It's very important that you start with the pilot circuit. The reason is simple. The pilot circuit affects the entire throttle range. When you are at full throttle, the main jet is the primary fuel metering device, but the pilot is still delivering fuel as well, adding to the total amount of fuel that your engine is receiving.

 

Before you start to rejet your bike, you need a clean air filter, a fresh plug (actually you need several plugs to do plug-chop tests for the main jet), and fresh fuel.

 

One important detail: Make sure the engine is in good mechanical condition. If your engine has a worn top-end, fix it first. Trying to jet a worn out engine is a waste of time. The same goes for reeds that don't seal properly, and a silencer that needs re-packing. Worn reeds will mimic rich jetting, and worn rings will mimic lean jetting.

 

Before you start the jet testing, Install a fresh plug. Set the float level to the proper specs, an incorrect float height will affect your jetting all across the throttle range.

 

Warm the bike completely, and shut it off.

 

As already stated, start with the pilot circuit. Turn the air screw all the way in, then turn it out 1.5 turns to start. Start the engine, and turn the idle screw in until you get a slightly fast idle, or hold the throttle just barely cracked, to keep the engine idling. Turn the air screw slowly in, and then out, until you find the point where the idle is fastest. Stop there. Do not open the screw any farther, or your throttle response will be flat and mushy, and the bike may even bog. This is only the starting point, we will still have to tune the air screw for the best response.

 

Now is the time to determine if you have the correct pilot installed in your carb. The air screw position determines this for you, making it very simple. If your air screw is less than 1 turn from closed, you need a larger pilot jet. If it is more than 2.5 turns from closed, you need a smaller pilot jet.

 

Once you have determined (and installed it if it's neccessary to change it) the correct pilot jet size, and tuned the air screw for the fastest idle, it's time to tune the air screw for the best throttle response. Again, make sure the bike is at full operating temperature. Set the idle back down (the bike should still idle), and ride the bike, using closed-to-1/4 throttle transitions. Turn the air screw slightly in either direction until you find the point that gives you the best response when cracking the throttle open. Most bikes are sensitive to changes as small as 1/8 of a turn.

 

The air screw is not a set-it-and-leave-it adjustment. You have to constantly re-adjust the air screw to compensate for changing outdoor temperatures and humidity. An air screw setting that is perfect in the cool morning air will likely be too rich in the heat of the mid-day.

 

Now, it's time to work on the needle. Mark the throttle grip at 1/4 and 3/4 openings. Ride the bike between these two marks. If the bike bogs for a second before responding to throttle, lower the clip (raising the needle) a notch at a time until the engine picks up smoothly. If the bike sputters or sounds rough when giving it throttle, raise the clip (lowering the needle) until it runs cleanly. There isn't really any way to test the needle other than by feel, but it's usually quite obvious when it's right or wrong.

 

Last is the main jet. The main jet affects from 1/2 to full throttle. The easiest way to test it is to do a throttle-chop test. With the bike fully warmed up, find a long straight, and install a fresh plug. Start the engine, and do a full-throttle run down the straight, through all gears. As soon as the bike tops out, pull the clutch in, and kill the engine, coasting to a stop. Remove the plug, and look deep down inside the threads, at the base of the insulator. If it is white or gray, the main is too lean. If it is dark brown or black, the main is too rich. The correct color is a medium-dark mocha brown or tan.

 

Once you have a little bit of experience with jetting changes, and you start to learn the difference in feel between "rich" and "lean", you'll begin to learn, just from the sound of the exhaust and the feel of the power, not only if the bike is running rich or lean, but even which one of the carb circuits is the culprit.

 

The slide is also a tuning variable for jetting, but slides are very expensive, and few bikes need different slides, so we won't go into that here.

 

Keep in mind, even though this article is intended primarily for two-strokes, four-strokes also need proper jetting to perform right, although they are not quite as fussy as their oil-burning cousins. The only real difference in the two is with the pilot circuit.

 

Two-strokes have an air screw that you screw in to make the jetting richer, and screw out to make the jetting leaner. Four-strokes, on the other hand, have a fuel adjustment screw that you screw in to make the jetting leaner, and out to make it richer.

I was telling the guy that some of the guys got sliders from motivation and he should ask motivation that will the sliders do damage to the frame if the bike will to fall or something.... I think I mention that last time I wanted to install sliders but end up they wanted to drill my frame thats why till today I am without frame sliders....

 

If you are looking correctly at my perspective, I am trying to advise him to double check before installing something that will eventually damage his frame

Motovation sliders dun need to drill frame. They just add a bracket from the engine mounting . Slider are meant to protect against low side skid and never meant to protect againt direct high side impact .

but if kena such direct high side impact , most prob with or w/o sliders , the bike be in a condition to scrap.

 

Eg The type of damages done in 2 different situation

1)bike sliding on its side after falling and coming to a stop

2)bike slide and hit kerb/barrier

 

Or even most suay suay situation , bike fall/flip and sliders hit the kerb/barrier directly at an awkward angle, this type of situation then slider will be have bad effect on frame. But under this type of accident , the damage done by the sliders would be the least concern.

 

Just dun connect the sliders directly to main frame can already.

If I am a char kway teow seller, will I tell my customers that my oily char kway teow increases risk of heart disease?

 

Just food for thought.

haha don't make me hungry.... oh well anyways to rider : I never install the sliders in the end because I don't have the extra money to experiment new toys lol but I think if you really afraid get race fairing... they cost 9xx+ if I am not wrong and your stock fairing can keep at home... easier to sell your bike in the future as well...
