have any of you guys taken a stock y2k to pasir gudang?

 

i had been adviced (by friends who used to race rs125 n rs250) not to use my bike there without modifications. like to hear the experience of anyone who's tried it.

 

what sort of timing do u think is possible on this bike? (excusing this rider's short-comings)

==============================

 

 

I'm not a Technical Fellow. Been to PG with my Stock Extrema in 1997 with my Aprilia Pals..... All I can say for stock vs Modded : 'Smell Smoke.... Really' Modded Mid Range just whizzed pass me easily.....

 

As for timing.... If memory doesn't fail me...... Average for pretty good riders should be 1 min plus.... think is 1 min 20 - 30 seconds..... I may be wrong ah... just trying to squeeze the timing out from my Pea Brain.

 

Petronas Team of Malaysia should be the ones having the best timing in PG.

P/S : Just take your stock Y2K to PG and experience the fun and thrill. Don't need to bother about timing la...... Go and try it.... It's a good feeling to Flex your bike on the 4 lane wide Tarmac. :>

 

Enjoy!!!!!

Huh?1min 20sec?Mic doohan record 1min 28sec leh!Hmm...

Anyway,I agree that org aprilia compare to SP sure smell smoke 1.

I ever tried using arrow exhaust,with a fren wif SP,straight road smell his smoke,but when it cms to turning,aprilia handling still the best in 2B sports!

[gals behaving badly]

The job of the carburetor is to vapourise the petrol with the air so that it forms fine droplets which burn easily. But when you have too much air it forms even finer droplets that explode upon gaining energy from the surrounding heat.[/b] I very much appreciate your detailed explanation fibre. So your point is that overly fine atomisation of fuel makes it excessively volatile - Does this mean increased oxygen content in the air/fuel mix has nothing to do with it?   Originally posted by amonamarth+--> QUOTE (amonamarth) Chris, thats what ah boon said to me also, he said something like this "aprilia rev high end one, not like nsr or krr, u must "voom voom" then throw clutch and go....meaning for my bike at least i have to keep my revs above 5k in first gear before i move off.[/b] If I'm not mistaken, all of us on RS125s need to rev till at least 5k before moving off, especially those tuned for high-end with less low-mid torque than you. Any one of you guys no need to rev so high?   Originally posted by xxes123 dun worry guys my fuel/air mixture still quite rich..intend to tune leaner next mth.. the knocking sound is due to either worn piston ring , loose clutch plate or worn conrod/ conrod bearing.... That's good to hear. And after overhaul, your bike could be even more economical!   Originally posted by xxes123 my current FC is 21.5-22.5km/l intend to push till 25-27km/l..... got some fuel savin mods in mind Share share leh, fuel saving is something I'm always interested in, as long as it doesn't suck performance.   Originally posted by servoprax there's an interesting article in business times 2 days back. Glad to hear people are reading my newspaper. It was a front page story exclusive to the Business Times, and I actually kept a copy to show you guys at our next meetup.

Thanks SafetyCar... i guess as much that i'm not going to keep up with the rest of the mod bridgade. will definitely hav a go at the track main thing is to enjoy the ride, right? but really dun want to look bad, esp on an aprilia dun want to look like an attention seeking "female rider" that just cannot make it imagine losing to sp n kips...

====================================

 

There's nothing wrong with riding on track with a stock bike.....It's the experience and fun.... I promised you'll enjoyed the width and freedom while you Whizz thru the track. Why bother about winning or losing SP or Kips..... JUST do it!!

 

Have Fun

Supposedly 33hp, stock. Specs for SP say 39.5hp, stock. Manufacturer figures are notoriously dubious though, and I've read reports that the SP's real figures are nowhere near that high. But likely still higher than Aprilias real figures though - 25cc bigger.

[eyz]

so, how is it guys??

when do ya all wanna go down for a tire change??

anyway the price is 199$ inclusive of labour for a pair of GPR 70 (front 110, rear 150)

[MaNnU]

mah motors?... you can try the newspapers also, some of them may post it there.

[Divineponytailz]

MaNnU, try the garage sales lah, just make sure someone who knows Aprilia goes down with you to view...

 

You can also try siewphone who was selling his bike just last week. Good condition.

[Divineponytailz]

Law, relax lah... Let's keep it primarily to bikes, but once in a while talk c*** ok mah... Alternatively, those want to talk c*** let's have more supper/rounding sessions! ;p

 

BTW, ask your cheerleader friends along too! Haha

[Divineponytailz]

Talking about the clutch biting point far away, i don't really like it... Feels very uncomfortable that i have to bring the rev up then "throw" clutch... I prefer feeling that i am in full control, playing with both clutch and throttle at the lights...

 

Any cons of bringing the biting point nearer? I not lazy lah, very hardworking! But will i spoil the bike?

[Divineponytailz]

I'm in love!

 

Freaking kick when the valves open! Oh oh oh, don't you guys just love Aprilias?

How? Most of us seem to be fine with Sun, March 20th. The price like that I already happy, can lower some more lagi better.   Originally posted by Divine^ponytailz@ Any cons of bringing the biting point nearer? I not lazy lah, very hardworking! But will i spoil the bike? Like I said in a previous post:   Pros of far biting point - Less chance/temptation of slipping/slurring the clutch on gear changes, ie. staying at biting point and releasing the clutch slowly. - Easier to execute partial clutch disengagement, ie. pulling in the lever only slightly (eg. 1/3, 1/2 or 2/3 of the way) during up or down-shifting. This is a safer and easier alternative to clutchless up and downshifting, especially in cases where it's impossible to go clutchless, like on big cruisers with clunky gearboxes, etc.   So, the cons of bringing the biting point nearer, in my opinion, would be the exact opposite of the above points. What do you think Jude?

[macan_putih]
