I can't wait, wish I could've made it. At least I'm not the only shift worker at work, heh.

hey guys, i just change a new block n piston for my rs250~~ nnow run in the machine~~~ the highest i went is 7rpm, when coming to a stop at traffic light, the engine will produce a very strange noise~~~ think is the block n piston noise~~~sound like inside dying off~~~ anyone had this problem~~~ need advice~~~ if crank shaft got problem, wat are the systoms>??>??

[servoprax]

muahahahaha...... we were kinda wating for u also. u should see our photo. its fit to appear in HOT STUFFS magazines.

[Kr0n]

Salute to Denis.. It all boils down to passion and love and sacrifice for us... Not that the Japs don't have it, but for a newbie to get an Italian despite all the word around him/her, shows that we just love it and are willing to sacrifice more.. As one Mito rider (I think it was Kai) once said, "Stubborn, but happy".

 

Cheers guys hope to have another outing with even better turn out next time!

[MaNnU]

yo guys i have been asking bout e tyres but no one reply ah.......i wanan use bt090 but since u guys been riding e rs125 longer than me is the gpr70 better

anyway i heard someone wanan try wit my tzm..sure thing but no in workshop....overhaul e engine cos just finish a few racesss

GPR 70 has cons which i do not know how to explain.. i only know that the centre of the tire get flat rather fast..

[Kr0n]

I was told by one of the mechs at HKL that GPR70 wears out significantly faster than others like Battlax and Dragons... But grip is pretty good too. Semi-track tyres perhaps?

Dunlop GPR70s are classified by the company as racing tyres, while GPR80s are sport road tyres (as are Dunlop's old D207 and current D208). No idea about the rest.

[Kr0n]

Oh ok cool info thanks man! Any info about Dragons?

[Sols]

Go to Italian Stables for pictures of the meet.

yah.. due to the high wearing... the centre of the tire flat out over time..

unless ya the kind of rider who always ride by the side of the tires.. kaka

[muser]

Kr0n, sorry, like I said, no idea about any other tyre makes or models other than what I listed.

 

Wah, the pictures of the meet are quite mind-blowing; and I haven't even seen the Aprilia pics yet!

 

Ok ok ok, this is something that's been bugging me for a long time, and I really can't stand it anymore:

 

1st-ever Aprila Owners' Club Gearing Survey

 

I'm compiling a list of all of our gearing/sprocket-sizes, as well as chain type/size (520, 530, etc) if possible. This will not only give us an idea of what's usable on street (judging by popularity), it will also help to put mods in perspective (people who say they put arrow exhaust are only telling part of the story- big rear sprocket of course torquey lah, small rear sprocket of course high top speed lah). I'm also thinking of going from a 38-tooth rear sprocket to a 42-tooth one, and would like to get feedback.

 

Just add your info the list, and when we're done I'll publish the info on my website/blog/forum for easy access. This way the info won't be buried in these 160-odd pages. If you're not sure about your sprocket size, it's usually written on the rear sprocket itself if you look closely (stock size is 40 teeth). Front sprocket size is usually not changed for RS125s. By the way, RS250 owners, please feel free to put down your info too, and I'll compile separately at the end.

 

1. muser '04 RS125 (front sprocket: 17, rear sprocket: 38, chain: not sure yet)

2.

 

P.S. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please PM me.

Take GPR 70,esp if you are a corner freak or loves track.

BT is more for road use.I tried GPR70 and luv it,no complains,excellent grip!

[macan_putih]

gpr70 isit soft compound or mix compound

for bt 090 or bt 96 both are soft compound which is good in dry and wet wheather

i used to try dunlop gp but when wet weather it tends to slip

Wet days GPR70 cannot lah,its soft compound.GP 250cc race they use GPR70 aso,very very solid grip,warm up fast,wear out fast aso.

Last time tried on my aprilia125 in the track,

[berukblue]

Wah the outing looks life fun...never seen so many italian bikes in one place b4 I wished i was there then maybe can take a pic with that 999 on place it on my blog or friendster so pple can think i ride a duc

 

 

Sometimes i hate my job.....

[DeusExMachina]

Very nice.

 

Now all it needs is an RSV 1000R and an MV Agusta F4 to complete the stable.
