I think after my run-in done..? Talked to David and he told me need to run-in at least 400km then can change the jetting and also plug check. Plus it was a bit hard trying to start the bike from cold start that day man. Plugs are diff i guess. Plus, I itchy hand go and change to sprox size 16 waay back when with NT****. So now gotta get back a 17".. Tested my bike that day and it was perfect. No flat spots and such. Whoa syiok lah!! But my engine did sound a little rough. But guess its ok for now..?

geeb ur bike out already?

Sweet.

I ran it in for about 20km after my rejet and plug change, felt the piston was handling the pressure well, and the conrod and bearings weren't too stiff, so I started high revving it. It's been pushing 12,000rpm ever since I clocked 50km.

This must be my shortest run-in ever. hahaha...

I think the electric water pump's biggest advantage is consistent cooling, even when idling or through slow traffic.

The usual disclaimer follows:

"Do as I say, not as I do."

Please run in your bikes below 8,000rpm for at least 800km before whacking it, because you may not know if something is starting to go wrong if you do not know your bike well enough, and you may not be able to accurately interpret the early signs of an emerging problem.

#%*^... so fast run in. Hahaha!! I got another 357km to go before finish.

But i'm running below 8k for now. Still some fear running in my head. Now paranoid abt every single funny noise or feel the bike produces. But hey, hope to achieve the 12k range soon!

Maybe gonna get that pump after all. Heheh..

Looking for secondhand Dell'Orto PHBH28RD jet set. Actually looking for the main jet as it was choked up.

PM me if you got spare or selling.

Thanks.,

blast3dGaL · June 28, 2010

They are all now dried up bak kwa. Looks and I bet tastes better than Bee Cheng Hiang's.

It's unfortunate you are Muslim hence cannot try their awesome pork bak kwa, but now I have human bak kwa, tho not halal but should not be haram too?

Tom I peel out the patch on my knee let you sample for free ok?

haha.. human meat not haram but it doesnt mean one is allowed to be a cannibal.. no, Sir.. i wont wanna try your meat, in fear of killing u in the end.. U know we all need u.. hahahaha

hey.. there's this friend's friend who said he bought an 05 at M8H last year for $197/mth x 5years.. with $800 d/p. I find it ridiculously expensive.. bt the rider (i think he is trying to make himself feel better) said it's because he got a full system ginelli. I bought mine FIRST HAND at abt that price holy sh!t.. damn the carrot chopper.. anyhoos.. he now wants to sell it to my friend COI and he's got another 4yrs to go.. Which I has asked my friend to do her research because that shop wont allow owner transfer unless the buyer has his own refinance sorted.

And i did tell my friend it's ridiculously overpriced.. then again, i can't get her an alternative as other better alternative needs full cash or own refinance which she can't get due to some personal matters.. and i am not going to stand as a guarantor or what so ever due to my own personal issues.

What he said to convince the sale was the add-on aftermarket stuff and the way he had done the tail to make it look like an 06.. which i have no idea how he did that.. the bike looks much slimmer than any other Y2K model..

Electrical water pump. Law was kind enuff to show me when i was at teck thye the other time. Looked interesting. Would consider it in the future.

How much does Teck Thye charge for a conrod?? Just wondering. Or you got it yourself..

Could be because new bearings. Must change gearoil after run in to get rid of metal filings etc from the new bearings.

Sub Zero · June 28, 2010

NObody else going to piggyback Law's PJ shipment???

Dateline looming soon. 30 Jun 10! Come on guys, now's the time to order..

If i had more cash, i'd be ordering a ton of stuff!

Yes Mr Subzero. I was thinking of that too. Another few hundred km to go til oil change. Cant wait!! Woohoo!!

Yes, overpriced. But if she's bought it already, too bad.

I have a Y2K model for sale. It's getting a make-over at the workshop now. If she's still looking for a bike, installment is possible. She plans to upgrade to a Class 2A or Class 2 right?

I got the Long conrod from PJ. Trying it out... heh

Yes, could be that. I changed gear oil after 20km. The amount of metal fillings that came out with the oil was unbelievable.

I think my gear shifting is stiffer than normal cos I changed the friction plates to a new set and used the stiffer clutch springs. Hmm... that makes sense, but hard to tell unless i open the clutch up...

NObody else going to piggyback Law's PJ shipment???

Dateline looming soon. 30 Jun 10! Come on guys, now's the time to order..

Deadline's approaching but I haven't gotten confirmation from PJ on the free shipping waiver for purchases over Â£1000.

While this means I won't be rushing to order by end of June, it does not mean those who are interested to order can be tardy and take their time.

I will be ordering in mid-July, and will update the post details.

Place your order requests and transfer the money before the deadline, and you'll all get your parts on time...

Cheers!

Intention is there.. but not so soon i guess..

elevened · June 28, 2010

dun mind me...

to see the spark plug, you gotta lift the tank up.

and i think we all rather have ppl admitting they dunno then to have someone who say they know it all and in the end not know.. hee..

Meet up soon.

i dun mind at all.

thats the reason why im here and asking questions and looking forward to learning from all of you.

at the end of the day, i want to know more abt my bike, how it works, and how to keep it healthy.

not save my pride =)

Nope.. i the guy who just happen to walk pass and told u to go buy a new spark plug If i riding i will usually park near the Extrema RS125

oh! so its you!

Hi there! *waves*

what a small world it is.

thanks for the advice the other day =)

extrema? i didnt know we had an extrema at our carpark. o.O

Its a private seller and most parts are stock parts. So it shld be 2K or less mm..
Thanks for your input.

Anybody else has experience buying rs125 2003 recently?

i bought mine at the start of this month. 03 model.

got it from a fellow forumer here.

fully stock, except for an overhauled and run in-ed engine. 3.6k.

d/p 1k and the owner kept it for me for one mth,

paid the rest in full cash when i collected the bike from him.

i hope that helps =)

Eh..?

WHy never say hi? Haha.. I was asking him abt my bike and whatnots just now. Some e-oil overflow so i was worried. He smoked me abt the electric water pump, and changing some stuff for my bike soon after run-in finish. Haha! Sorry bro i also didn't notice where u were!

Ijat coke · June 29, 2010

quikslvr · June 29, 2010

This tool selling @ PJME under Aprilia RS125 Tools & Workshop Equipment,can it remove the valve blade? The webby says removes valve cores but whats that?

lacrimosae · June 29, 2010

Hello Lawrence

Yes shipping over Â£1000.00 is free of charge.

Hi Angela,

I've been ordering parts from PJ for quite a while now, but I've only

recently heard from a friend that you waive the shipping cost if the

order is Â£1000 and above, is this true?

If it is, then I'm going to increase my order....

I had intended to place another order before June was through but

found out that 2 items on my list are unavailable:

1. Aprilia RS125 Athena full gasket kit

2. Fuel pipe 6.5mm bore

I'd like to know approximately when they will be available so that I

have a rough idea when I can start preparing my bike for the parts...

Thank you!

Lawrence

i just add in my order.now reach 1000 pound already?

Sub Zero · June 29, 2010

Lawrence, looks like that's good news.

Bloody PJ are damn smart. We have to spend big to get the free shipping. Haha. So now we only have to pay for GST when the stuff arrives.

Just a minor guide to ordering.

Anything below 250 pounds is 45 pounds for shipping. Above that becomes 105 pounds. Small items shipping starts fm 6.50 pounds if i'm not wrong.

When Angela lets u know the gaskets are in, then we can send the order. Their shipping is very fast. Within 2-3 days fm dispatch in UK, can reach SG.

kowloon · June 29, 2010

Hi everyone, I have Aprilia Y2K year 2000 to sell. All stock with no modifications. It is a Y2K model with a new fairing and new paint (did it in Jan 2010) with Red Ducati color.

But unfortunately I fell last month on the left side so there are some scratches mainly on the front left side. The bike is beautiful and turns heads! The bike is well maintained and runs well but has no valve.

COE will expire soon in end of July 2010. As much as it breaks my hear to sell this wonderful bike, I have to sell it as I will be posted overseas in September and no one can maintain the bike at home. If I can't sell before the COE expires, I will renew it. Asking for $2,500 (before the renew COE).

Pls let me know if you are interested or you know anyone who is looking to buy. Appreciate fellow Aprilians if you can help!

Please contact me at 81001323 or [email protected]. Thanks!

We just hit Â£1000! Woot! http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6504196#post6504196

I will place order once everyone has paid in full the cost price (and when parts become available)

Shipping costs and taxes will be calculated later after items arrive in SG, and will need to be paid upon collection of items.

There are a few other items currently out of stock. Please check the post for updates.

Anyone wants to try an adjustable main jet?

http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/products_details.asp?PartNo=53157&CategoryID=2&PartsectionID=33

Basically this allows for changing the main jet size without having to open the carb to manually change the jet.

You can simply alter the jet size using a remote adjuster cable...

Hmmm..... I think I'll try it out. Good for changing carburetion to suit our fast changing weather here in the tropics. You'll always be properly jetted!

Anyone else interested to get it?
