Nope.

 

I use the choke when my bike is cold because the idling is very lean and the revs will climb quite high, so I use the choke to bring the revs down by richening the idling mixture.

 

If you use the choke just for start-ups, it's ok.

 

If you keep the choke open while riding, that's just stupid.

 

I assume you're asking about the choke because you ride within 7,000-8,000rpm so you're looking for another probable cause for the plug fouling?

 

I'm curious about the choke because the effect I achieve from using the choke seems different from yours. Instead of high RPM, my bike dies upon start up if I do not throttle (normal startup with no choke) The user manual mentioned that bike should start without throttling hence I'm a little concern about this. When the choke is applied, the RPM increases instead of come down like yours. I also notice when i use the choke, I have lots of white smoke coming out my exhaust.

 

On my new spark plug, I drag every gear to 6000 then shift up and cruise at 5000 to 6000 rpm. Checked my plug at after 50km. covered in a layer of soot already. scraped as much soot I can off the plug and replaced it. I'll try going at 7000 rpm next and monitor my plug to see if it helps. I travel on normal roads and at 3rd gear i'm already at the speed limit at 6000 rpm :/

 

Also, I notice at on 2nd gear, the engine tends to jerk and sputter at 5000 climbing to 6000 rpm. Is this the flat zone effect that has been mentioned many times here? This seems less pronounced on gear 3 onwards

 

Thanks for all the answers!

Hmmm.. I just notice this posting abt tyres.. Didn't notice it as just in here to post what I want n outta of here.. But it's good to know thru the pm n SMS I get.. That so many ppl here won't be misled by cluess ppl. The fact that tyres being used 2 or 3 times on the track is deemed foolish n hard to believe but of course the cluess narrow minded doesn't seem to understand a rider"s mind..

A crash is more expensive than having a new set of tyres.. My sets have been sold the day I posted it up.. It doesn't take much to sell once they seen it. I change my oil before heading to the track, that's every 2 weeks , or every around 90km.. Because the mentality of a rider is simple.. After using it for couple of times, we offer it to the road riders as we understand the cost of tyres.. N bearing in mind these are 125s , their power are not violent enuff to shred tyres after 2 track sessions.. When talk abt crashing, it's been proven 90% of the time it's pointed to rider's neglience..

I'm seldom in here cause it's ridiculous to see posting made by individual who doesn't have a clue abt a rider's mentality.. Totally clueless.. RS riders who have issues n problem.. Yes there r solutions in many way but u have cluess telling ppl , no u must do this or do that but in reality , what do we know abt the other guy background, his budget, his finances.. Stirring others to get good stuff while the stuff clueless have are hand me downs..

No u must get new ones!!! But have a look at cluess bike, oh no it's all squaring off n possibly harden.. N the topic us abt safety n using fresh tyres..

I met many RS riders, almost all r students or NS guys n they know when the push comes to a shove, they know who be behind n assisting them n not just some showtume talk..

There's a saying " the blind leading the blind"

to prove otherwise, show credentials .. show power n lastly show u have the means to help when it matters most...

That's it! I'm outta here..

N the oppotunity for a chance to try an international circuit with yr 125 is on!

There be track basic guidance by champion local riders n suspension n tyres discussion by Ohlins n Pirelli experts.. N the feeling of the wide open space of Sepang beckons!

Cheers

Well, I managed to beg Chris hard enough to re-open it.

 

Gentlemen,

 

Start your browsing.

 

http://themuser.com/forum/index.php

 

I'm delighted! But you have alot of cleaning up to do. Let's meet up to discuss. And please dont not allow advertisers on our forum. Thanks!

 

I think you should just get a new set of tyres. Never compromise your safety. You never know what the 2ndhand tyres you're buying have been through. And for track regulars, they'd be stupid fools to sell off their tyres only after using once or twice. I'm pretty sure they'll use it till the ends are worn off before selling it for ROAD USE only. If you use those tyres for track, you'll end up where you are now. In posession of a crashed bike. Just my 2 cents.

 

If u tink u hav yor budget, juz go wif it. Diz track riders r no fools as wat Mr. Subzero claims dey r fool enuf to sell after 2 or 3 times used on track. I got few Aprilia riders used back USED tyres on their bikes n dey r still safe n sound n ALIVE till today. Wat i'm trying to say down here is vry simple, check on de condition of de 2nd hand tyres 1st. If u fyl safe n comfortable to get, den buy it but if u haf doubts in den don buy it. I dont tink dat de seller wil whack n kill u if u don buy their tyres. In fact diz ppl r helpful enuf to help u purchase wif cheaper n yet still reusable for yor bike...

 

Mr. Subzero, pls mind yor words n stop offending ppl in the forum.. If u tink u wana giv negative remarks on other ppl den pls don post anythg in here... Thnk u...

 

Mr Eddy Rossi,

 

My point is simple. An intelligent track rider would be smart enough to use his tyres until a) it exceeds the number of heat cycles b) it's worn out at the sides.

Even I have no issues using these tyres for ROAD USE only I like stated. Using them on track is taking a risk that shouldnt be taken. I believe safety comes 1st. Why compromise your safety and expensive bike repairs by trying to save some money on the tyres? I'm not going track on my worn out tyres am I? In fact, i've been waiting patiently, well impatiently for months for the BT003s to arrive. I stand by what I say.

 

Lastly, I do not understand why some faggots are obsessed with me. They love to look at my bike, tyres, and my sexy butt probably. Must be green eyes. Hehe. Again, i stand by what i say. I do my own things, within my financial means, so i guess I have a right to talk. I'm not being cheap, not when I only want the best for my bike. I'm no racer, but I know an egotistical fool when I see one. I have nothing to prove numbnuts, so know your role, and please shut your mouth. Mr Eddy Rossi, please stay away from hypocrites. Thank you!

I'm no expert here but from reading posts all over the Internet, using choke to start your bike from cold is not unusual. I have my bike sit in the basement overnight and it's freaking cool there so every morning I have to choke start. Once the bike is warmed up (2-bar plus), you should be able to start without choke & throttle though. If it starts and then dies off because of low idling you may want to adjust/check your idling jet.

 

Also, I believe when you use choke start your idling RPM should be higher than without it (again, from reading, I don't have any mechanical insights why it's so, still reading more for an answer).

Holy sh*tballs. I'll be in faster than you can say 'Raj you can't handle that bike' Subscribed!

 

we are in talks with SIC n a Singapore private trackday for small sportsbike (below 200cc n below 400cc) in Sepang is planned for Sept.. it be for 2 days ...friday and saturday...

 

Sounds great. I'll talk to you about this when we meet next. Maybe at least one more PG session if not two will be in order to get my form better. As usual, I can mostly do random weekdays (Tue, Thurs) and the 10.30am session like last time.

[user1987]

I would like to ask. Where can i get sliders for my aprilia 09 model? and roughly price range?

I know this Sub Zero dude is a basket right ... but I'm with him on this one, because I find your claims against him ridiculous Our fellow clearly asked for tyres for both roads and track usage. I think any sub-conscious being who cares for the safety of his fellow would recommend a brand new pair of tyres. On top of that, it's only a recommendation / suggestion, the rider is the one to decide. It is amusing to see how the recommendation was turned into business context.

 

Some people are just more sensitive than pssy cats eh

Interesting...

 

Why would you get a illegal, non-homologated Arrow from PJME, and risk getting caught and fined $700 for using an unapproved, illegal exhaust, when you can get an Arrow locally which includes the legal certification.

[frostscythe]

I think you shouldn't question the boss's advice! In addition, my 2cent is that you should definitely spend the extra money for the most essential stuff which could save your life.

 

so you mean a brand new tyre compared to a 7/8 used tyre gives you a lower mortality rate? i just think he needs to change the 7/8 earlier.

[frostscythe]

GOOD NEWS GUYS PJME ORDERS ARE HERE.

 

Now for the bad news. Some stuff out of stock and pjme will send out at a later date(not specified), from what ive seen things such as Bitubo shocks, 1 paddock stand, Wossner piston. Im sure those guys affected will be dissapointed, but its beyond my control and i was informed most items were in stock at the point of making the order.

 

Point 2, i seek your understanding here. I know all of us are excited to get our stuff. But i have over 100 items, worth more than $4000, to go through and check one by one with my list to ensure no items are left out. Therefore, i WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY COLLECTION REQUESTS FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS. Collection will start on SATURDAY 25TH MAY.

 

Collection will strictly be at my place. Delivery can be arranged islandwide for $5.

 

I will be sending out a mass sms soon, and will personally inform those whos items are not in stock.

 

Thanks!

[Ateno]

comparing a brand new to a 7/8 used tyre. how does the brand new one lower your mortality rate? i think it just means that he will have to change the 7/8 earlier and if he gets it at a really good price cause the rider used it once and didnt like the feel of it, why not?

 

I just spoke in general, not specifically about the usage. I stand by my view that brand new tyres can potentially save your life better than used tyres when sh!t hit the fan, simply because you have complete control over what is included in the brand new tyres, which is not necessarily the case for used tyres. I think this is especially true on track. OK, maybe not the mortality, but anything which can put you in MC for a period of time.

 

Also, since you asked that question, can I ask you how the below go together:

- 7/8 used tyre

- Really good price

 

Pardon me for my short experience with Singapore, but to the best of my nascent understanding, prices in Singapore are not cheap. I wouldn't hope for really good price for a set of tyres that were just 7/8 used.

 

For the extra cash which I would spend for the 1/8 which is not there in the used tyres, I have the piece of mind that what I'm buying is brand new. It may be the mentality, but practically, it *may* make a difference. By buying brand new, I can at least control the factors (manufacturing year, batch etc.) and know for sure that the quality is going to be good. By buying 2nd hand, I still have control over the factors, but since it's used, I don't know for sure how different the quality is going to be. I just think simply like that.

 

As I mentioned, it's a mere recommendation. Anyone can recommend, but it is the rider who will decide. I can go on recommending how Aprilia sucks and the rider should sell his bike, and we all know the result of that, right?

[vyruz]

Any of you RS champions want to do a 10.30am PG session next Tuesday? I'm very much a noob, so it'll not be an intense session.

 

PG calendar looks empty for that day and weather for the morning is predicted to be sunny/cloudy.

 

I am looking at towing my bike there and back like last time and possibly hitching a ride with the towers. If you want to come along tower-style, let me know. Otherwise I can always meet you there.

 

@lacrimosae: No more track days now that you're thinking of selling? I will probably sell mine nearer the end of the year before I move back to NZ, but will want to track between now and then.
