Aprilia Riders

[lacrimosae]

Please allow me to clarify something.

I never said I was going to mass order rear shocks, so please do not quote me on that.

 

In future, whoever wishes to quote me on something, I would truly appreciate your confirming with me that I really made that statement before posting it. Its called courtesy. I dont like people putting words in my mouth and I know no one else likes it either.

 

Unil-Opal update:

Sorry to inform those who have expressed interest in the Unil-Opal aerosol chain lube. I will not be bringing any more of that in because I have received feedback that it's not as fantastic as it was initially made out to be. This feedback has been reflected to Unil-Opal and they have said they will improve on it.

 

I only wish to promote good quality products and I dont believe in selling products that I wont use personally, to other riders out there. After all, bad business ethics are something I want to avoid....

The gear oil, 2T (100% fully synth, fully synth, semi-synth), and coolant are still available. Also available for 4-strokers are 4T and gear oil.

guys can send me as many pic of rs125s close up as possible to [email protected]... i wan gather some useful pics for my presentation and discussion with LTA engineers for their clarifications on bikes mod mainly cosmectic modifications, brakes and suspension.. then we can all mod nice nice dun need worry abt ROV or TP as long as we can get the LTA cert... :cheer:

 

any stock rs250 willing to go to LTA with me that day cos need ur bike for some explaination regarding the brakes... haven confirm day yet..

[lacrimosae]

Dude, we do not need LTA approval for changing of rear shock, front fork, brakes, brake lines, fairings, clip-ons, rims, chain, sprockets, footpegs, petrol tank, signal lamps, tires, mudguard, rear hugger, swingarm, singleseater, stickers, and every other thing on your bike as long as its got nothing to do with modifying your engine, exhaust pipe and headlights.

 

Dont be so paranoid.

If I were you, I'd worry about your pipe and the validity of the 'certification of authenticity' of the legalised Arrow.

 

I saw another legal Arrow with the exact same 'registration number' as your's.

0322.

That is actually the part number of the end can, not the individual serial number of the pipe as claimed by BikeTech21.

Just like the foot peg could be 022346, or the crank bearing could be 0745, etc....

 

Wouldnt it be strange that all Arrow pipes are having the same serial number?

Like that I can simply forge your documents form LTA and make myself a credit card sized laminted card with the so-called 'serial number' of 0322 and voila! My illegal Arrow just became legal.

 

A friend of mine had to go Portsdown for inspection after his installation of a Micron end can. Then only after that he got certificates and a card like yours.

 

Did you go to Portsdown for an inspection of your pipe after it was fitted onto your Aprilia?

Oh pardon me lacrimosae, is your statement is directed at me? if so let me clear things up....

i never did said dat u r going to mass order rear shock wor?...

i just said dat i heard from the rvf guy (ken) dat u are ordering (yourself) new shock & i suggested dat maybe we (the rest of us, not u wor) can do a mass order of shock change?

well...well, any misunderstandings & inconvenience is greatly regretted huh?....

cheers

[eyz]

cool it guys...

edwin is not going to mod his rear shox, he's intending to put a double brake disc on this front wheel.. he wanna do a stoppie more easily.. haha.. nah just kidding.. he's looking at safety mod 1st before venturing on speed mod..

anyway i'd asked to add the positioning of endcan in his letter to LTA..

[gta]

[Divineponytailz]

How did that happen? What causes that? I don't want stop halfway in traffic man... Bad enough it happens when no petrol, and the y2k got no fuel gauge...

[gta]

me also not sure what happened to my carb, last time my crab used to overflow, then it auto becomes ok. Now this problem, m mechanic service the carb then the lost of power issue no more liao.

[lacrimosae]

Denis,

didnt mean to come off as antagonistic... Sorry....

 

I was misquoted before, and also on other online forums. I'm not mad about anything here, just speaking my mind.

Anyway, its all cool. Come down for DIY session this Sunday at 11am?

 

gta,

carb needs cleaning?

Hi guys! This is Dylan. Just to clarify, not that I'm not interested for you guys to be coming down as a club. Of course it'll be great if all of you come together.

 

Just that this is more of an exhibition, no riding involved. So it really doesn't matter if you come as a club or not? So I wish everyone can come at their convenience and enjoy themselves.

 

Also, I see there's some other outing coming up. Is this confirmed? I've been logging onto internet less and less these days due to work. Will check back here again, and see if I can join in (as a Aprilian, not as a marketing manager!)

 

I also see in some other posts that someone is looking for an original RS pipe? If it is the infamous "Milo Kong" he's looking for, let me tell you that we have a brand new one in our stocks! Surprise surprise... Come Inspection Time, you know who to look for.. hehe..

 

Hi Dylan, please don't worry that we might not feel welcome as a club, we're not so petty and we're still coming down anyway.

 

I understand that it's an exhibition - we were just offering to give you yet another marketing tool, ie. "Look, we have a strong-enough relationship with Aprilia owners that they've come down to support this road show, and if you have any reservations about owning one, you cansee what they have to say about it."

 

It's something that might have boosted the credibility of your show at little-to-no financial cost to you, and would have looked good for us in our show of solidarity; It might even have helped us recruit more existing owners.

 

But I understand that planning an exhibition is complicated enough without having to figure out additional logistics at the last minute. Truly, no worries, just take this as an open offer for any future events down the road.

 

About the upcoming outing: I think you're referring to the upcoming Italian bike (Cagiva, Aprilia, Ducati, etc) meetup in March (check the previous few pages for details). As far as I know it's still on, so do come along and join us cuz right now there are double the number of Cagiva riders compared to u Aprilians, hehe.

Edwin, can pls give us an update after you check up on your Biketech21 cert?   Lacri, don't worry about not bringing in the Unil-Opal chain lube - if the word on the grapevine is that it's no good, then I'm not interested.   Originally posted by Divine^ponytailz@ How did that happen?

got record in LTA data base, my record no is 200502xxxxx ,the inspection centre will fax to LTA together with the pic taken once u clear the inspection and LTA will fax back a acknowledge letter with the record no. that is to be alway carry when riding.. the no. u say is the model no with the engraved EURO4 logo... can try bluff with fake documents but if they check with their data base then u be in for big time...

 

dun assume the comestic mod are approved.. in fact most of them are not approved or legalised ,depends on the tp or rov mood whether they wan find trouble.. that why i writing in to LTA for more clarification.. :cheeky:

Edwin, how do you know most of the cosmetic mods are not approved or legalised? If that's true, then LTA is not providing accurate and useful guidelines on their website, which is something worth bringing to their attention.
