[ApitSpark]

Hello guys. Newbie here.. Just wanna ask where can i buy new rs125 fairring? Any shop to recommend for service rs125?

[Ateno]

Why do you need to buy new fairing?

[MaxS]

yah. but since im so nice i'll cover shipping so u all dun nd to pay.

 

HAHAH! right! you havent included your order right!

[mesab0ogie]

HAHAH! right! you havent included your order right!

 

By right should have been enough since last week. But some idiot cancel his order last min. Talk so confident. then middle of the night sms me cancel order. kanasai.

 

Anyway, come on guys!!! ony one person paid so far. And out of everyone ony 3 reply my sms! Pay fast get ur items fast. I wana order by tonight if possible.

[macerena]

Sure! I have the day off on 5 June. But I will be towing my bike up. $60 pickup from home to track; then from track back to doorstep. No more commuting to track for me. I really detest it. Really. I hate it.

 

Okay kewLz! See u there!

[weihao]

Anyone knows where can i purchase original Aprilia key? and also the price of it. Thanks!

[priller07]

Vik is like that lah. Always say his bike is slow. He never tried my bike before also say it's slow...

 

But my new jetting still sucks, so it's hard to compare. If only I could use my old settings for my new cylinder and exhaust. Less time spent on tuning = more time spent riding.

 

Dude, how I WISH we can all buy ur settings that u spent hours mastering. That would really help the whole lot of us who're unsure of the aspects of tuning.

 

But i'm pretty sure u'll work out the kinks in tuning ur bike real soon.

 

Dont be so humble la Nageeb! Your bike is one of the smoothest I've ever ridden. And my bike is also slow!! You know I always complain I cant launch my bike. How to be fast like that?? it needs alot of work bro. Hehe. Anyway, i thought you settled your top end issue?? What is it about? Maybe Law can help you out with the settings!

 

And i say it again.. My bike is sloww.. It's like riding a scrambler!! But no top end! headache! Always have to shift gears so fast!

 

Smooth but not enough lah.. I also sian. One fine day when Lawrence is in good mood i will ask him for help when he's free. I know how tedious it is to answer questions that people keep asking/posting, especially abt tuning and jetting.

 

Now u can't complain. I rode ur bike and it's response is far better than before. U better quit complaining ok.

[lacrimosae]

Guys, I recently hit a snag in tuning... Maybe it's been a while since I've done any serious tuning so I might be a little rusty.

 

I just changed to Vforce 3 reeds and I am suffering from some acceleration-crippling bogging. My bike rides well on the Boyesen reeds, which I have been using for years without problems.

 

Here's my carb settings on the Boyesen:

 

CAA: with Boyesen

Idle Screw - 2 turns

Air Screw - 1.25 turn

Choke - 60

Idle - nil

Idle Emulsion - B42

Atomizer - DQ264

Needle Clip - 1

Needle - K57

Slide - 50

Main - 165

 

CAA: Current with VForce 3

Idle Screw - 2 turn

Air Screw - 1.25 turn

Choke - 60

Idle - nil

Idle Emulsion - B42

Atomizer - DQ264

Needle Clip - 2

Needle - D39

Slide - 50

Main - 162

 

So far Feelicks suggested that I might be LEAN instead of RICH, and richening my needle did mitigate some bogging, but raising the needle by another notch brought the bogging back, so it's back to the drawing board. Am suspecting the needle may not be the only cause of the bogginess.

 

I will be swapping out my D39 and fitting my old K57 back. Will also be lowering the main jet to 160, and then raising it to 165, on both a leaner and richer K57. Testing out different combinations on this.

 

I've also gotten suggestions to try testing other idle jets, but won't have time so that'll come later.

 

Any one out there got a spark of inspiration or some remote idea feel free to share. I need a fresh perspective on this. Fresh eyes can always spot problems right under our own noses we've become oblivious to.

law, i c tt ur using a whole range of diff jets n needles, y dun u try reverting back to stock carb settings n tuning from there? mite help find e sweet spot alot faster

just wondering, would using a needle with a larger tip diameter and lean the mixture help? like a k58

[mesab0ogie]

this reminded me of the brief period where i got my ported block fixed. When i had the bike running it was crap. bogging all over the rev range. At this time i was on airbox with no snorkel and no filter, which worked very well for me prior to my engine seizure. So based from my experience frm my previous trial and error tunings, i knew something was too rich somewhere. So what i did was remove the airbox and put in a pod filter, and it made everything a whole lot better. Why dont u try removing ur airbox and run on an open pod(yes open, naked carb) and go for a spin. If it alleviates the problem at that specific rev range, then we know the problem. If it makes the problem worse then it means ur mixture is too lean. i mean, i think its a whole lot easier than changing jets. Or i suggest u even do it in stages, ie remove the filter in the airbox, then go with a pod filter and then to open pod. Juz my 2cents lawrence =D Of course, im just guessing that ur running rich right now.

[dDtim]

I'm leaning towards the idea that you are running rich as well, based on my previous experiences with the needle clip, I had super boggy experiences, carb would flood on expressway if I don't open full throttle and rpm is super hard to climb at the 4-6k range.

 

Oh, needle clip position: nil. I lowered the lid and put the needle on top of the lid haha.

[glenn92]

Any idea how much will a full set of fairring for an 07' model cost? :\

It's the sharkskinz racing fibre glass fairings for the Aprilia without tank, should be about 900SGD due to the good US exchange rate now. Thing is that you need to cut out the fairings for lightings and from what I heard, they don't fit as well as the stock fairings

Did a rough estimation for you, upper and lower panels only should cost you $270+$180 per side, both sides will set you back $900. Without tank.

[Sub Zero]

vik: aiyah fine lah ok u win u win i was making an assumption.

 

Anyway yeah i still do have the sprocket somewhere in the dumpster aka my room. U still want it?

 

Yes, I want it mate. When are you free to meet up? I have yet to see you in person. Anyway, I was just pulling your leg. Chill.

 

By right should have been enough since last week. But some idiot cancel his order last min. Talk so confident. then middle of the night sms me cancel order. kanasai.

 

Anyway, come on guys!!! ony one person paid so far. And out of everyone ony 3 reply my sms! Pay fast get ur items fast. I wana order by tonight if possible.

 

Hmmm, I vaguely remember someone who goes by the name Ashraf who didnt response to my 1st sms also when i was doing my PJME order. He then only replied to my 2nd SMS reminder to make payment to tell me he's cancelling his order. You know him?

Really sensible method of going about things. But sadly, Lawrence doesnt like to use pod filters. What's your setting now? Are you on the ported block? And I'm asking like for the dunno how many times, is your $600 brand new block here?? I have a bet that I need to settle!

Shipping from AF1 and UP is horrendous. I suggest go to First Motor and get a full set from them. Including tank is less than 1000. Ah Seng's head and side fairings cost 950 already. He claims it's better than FM's but to each his own. Sharkskinz is damn good, top notch. If it didnt fit well, it's the fault of the mechanic who didnt drill the holes properly and ensure it fits good. Most race fairings require u to drill the holes yourself.

hey guys, recently i just changed my stock carburetor to a 34mm carburetor, however I am still using my stock pipe.

A few days back from tuning, the plug seems to foul very frequently, and i am not sure if it is the tuning's problem what. do anyone of you all have the same problem or do anyone of you have any solutions to the problems that I have encountered. Thanks and cheeerrrs!!

[Feelicks]

could b a tuning prob... bring to 37 motoring or teck thye n set ur mixture screw... 34mm carbs are'nt meant 4 plug n play usage, its a sure fire way to foul plugs...

 

OR

 

ur riding style... keep ur revs in e powerband (7-8k rpm) to reduce e buildup of carbon on e plug head... anything out of tt range, plug wont b hot enuff to burn off deposits resulting in carbon foul...

 

ur bike shld b in reasonable road going condition wif proper tuning n riding technique

 

gd luck

Hahaha. Anyway i might be meeting lawrence this thursday or friday depending on when hes free. Maybe can mt near his place or smth?

Its always easier sitting back and be the one whose joining the MO rather than organising it. hehehe

Regarding the block, i cancelled the order coz they were taking forever to ship it out and also coz i wanted to get he italkit bbk that time. But i think i might be ordering it again coz i have only one cylinder now. If theres one thing i learnt frm my seizure is that it important to have a spare cylinder. And esp since im going to put in a flat top piston in my rebuild, so just in case i screw anything up got spare.

 

After my seizure i sent the seized block for polishing and porting to my friend. From what i know, he enlarged the intake and exhaust ports, and did some knife edging. The bike ran well and it seemed like the power kicks in more forcefully when the valve opens. But i only managed 50km before my circlip came loose and f**ked up the cylinder. so cant comment much. But im gona have the same porting work done on my 2nd hand cylinder which i got off a dude in the UK. Hopefully with a flat top piston n head i might get some power. Still deciding btw a twin ring flat top and a single ring though.

Thanks bro, however i have already got my bike tuned at teck thye before. so it has nothing got to do with the stock pipe that causes the plug to foul?

[mesab0ogie]

tuning is not a one time fix all thing. it takes many many tries and tuning sessions to get it right. So getting it "tuned at teck thye before" does not mean that tuning is not the problem.

 

Spark plug foul not a complicated problem. Only a few reasons.

1) Ur using a plug which is too cold

2) Theres too much 2T in ur mixture

3) Ur mixture is too rich

 

Im betting that its number 3. Go back to the shop and get this sorted out.

 

Also just my opinion, i think ur wasting ur time chaning to a 34mm carb with a stock pipe. Pipe shud be number 1 priority.

[Feelicks]

if u got it tuned at teck thye dan it shld b ur riding technique... nothing to do wif ur pipe. e whole reason y u wanna set ur mixture screw is to optimize e amount of fuel running in ur idle circuit to ur current system specs... remember, its a 2 stroke, riding in e powerband is e key to avoid fouling

Woooo! Aprilian nights out. I'll have something important on these few days, so I'll come if I can.

 

I have what I believe to be a wicked design for my Aprilia, not sure if anyone can help me picture it on paper.

Anyone with a hidden artistic talent here?

Actually I rode 2000km, riding mostly out of the powerband and below the 6k mark, my plug did not foul.

 

I determine based on my experience(I newly abbreviate, BOME) that the mixture screw should be set to the point where your bike does not need to throttle to start up, can manage half clutch closed throttle without stalling. That should be a good start, works well for me but please school me if your settings prove to work better for our machines.
