Aprilia Riders

[Axxis]

oh yeah.. I forgot this.

The Aprilia RS125 is the best looking 125cc bike around. (once you put an arrow pipe on it).

Mito is close 2nd.

=p

How many Aprilias here uses "aftermarket air intake" such as K&N?

 

I was told by a friend (ex-extrema rider) that original air box is the best.

The K&N air filter not so good, and it will be difficult to do/set the jetting.

 

Anybody here got any comments on this?

yes yes.... setting will "jump" every 1-2 week. ... idling timing and fuel/air ratio ...

 

bike more sensitive to temperature, cant touch rain

 

and yes , i reset my setting every 2 week and tuning every 1 mth ....

From a personal point of view, I feel that even if you do everything right, if the tester feels the rider is too young, not happy with how the guy looks, he will just give you more points till u explode with more than 18.

 

Its not hard to get more than 18, forget to check a couple of blindspots and its already GAME OVER.

 

Dont mean to discourage you but this is what I observe on test days.

Still, I wish you the best for your upcoming test.

yeah the original air box is the best...

and yeah.. i'm saying jus the box alone and nothing else..

throw away the panel..

 

and also.. our carb suck in air, rather than air being driven into the carb..

so, a air box will prevent air turbulence, giving the carb a stable suction of air

if ya not using the air box, the air intake is very subject to the wind turbulence..

It'll likely decrease overall performance, not increase it.   Originally posted by CMYRS What sort of glorious showdown? Another race where the winner gets to keep the loser's bike? Dont think you would want their headlight less, mirror less, highly grinded main stand bike would u? You means you don't want a trophy of a "gloriously" grinded main stand? Shocking But you do know I was being sarcastic - "glorious" as in from their puny-brained, testosterone-controlled point of view.   Originally posted by Axxis I would only ride a 4-stoke bike as a daily rider, never a 2-stroke. There's lots to be said for Axxis' point of view, and no matter what, a 2-stroke will never match the low-end torque of a 4-stroke, and low-end torque is what's truly useful in town driving.   However, bear in mind that Axxis is coming from the point of view of a part of the world (he's originally from Australia, but this also applies to many other countries) where biking is commonly viewed as a weekend activity, not daily commuting. A big reason for this is that few other places have as big a price difference between cars and bikes.   It's common to see 2-strokers as commuters here, and since I have my bike set for as much low-end torque as possible, and as wide a powerband as possible (for a peaky arrow-stomached bike, that is), I'm very happy commuting using my RS125 for everything, including grocery shopping with my tank bag.   But yes, my 4-stroke XR200 still kicks my Aprilia's ass around town. You will hardly see me on my scrambler though, and that's statement enough.   Originally posted by _wacko_ just a word of caution Not to worry bro, it would be quite silly for a 28-year-old bespectacled fellow like me to turn up in office clothes to wage turf war. Aiyah, in case people actually thought I was serious and not just indulging myself, I'm kidding lah. Where got time and energy to deal with these imbeciles? After work I want to go home and sleep man. Avoid eye contact and act like they're not there, which they might as well not be.

[xxes123]

no idea why "jump" but at nite esp when very cold , the power is :smile:

 

i think cos the air intake is very turbulant affecting the carb setting qnd very sensitive to wind direction ... most of the mech who see my filter will say its very hard to tune and jump easily...

 

 

 

never meet these kind of mad malay riders before... dun play with these ppl , life precious....

[eyz]

sure or not edwin??

i'm sure ya'll have frenly with them...

Haiz, I always in a rush and can never join everyone to hang out after DIYs cuz they're almost always held on Sundays and I work every Sunday, 4:30pm till 12:30am.

 

This Sunday, I can't even make it in the morning cuz I'll be at the official opening of the SAF Yacht Club supporting my fiancee, who's head of the PR & Marketing department there. It's open to the public, so anyone's who's curious and in the East can drop by. If you do, buzz me first at 97405630 (Chris) to make sure I'm there. By the way, the club's got nothing to do with the SAF.

 

SAF Yacht Club Changi Clubhouse Official Opening

Where: 110 Tanah Merah Coast Rd (opp Changi Naval Base)

When: Sat, May 28th (11am onwards till late) & Sun, May 29th (9am onwards till late)

Why: Keep me company; plus it's a damn nice clubhouse

More info: Club website

Its not as bad as that lah.....when i passed my TP there were actually liquid paper marks where the TP tester actually minus out points so that i would pass

BKE their territory??

 

Anyway, now I know why they were riding with barely visible no. plates.......

Originally posted by CMYRS@May 27 2005, 02:03 AM

Yes, they were Malay.

Could be the same bunch.

They see u, catch up, ride beside u for awhile, while staring at you.

 

I really do think they are Milo drinkers, cause after seeing my RS pipe,

he prob didnt like it and sped up and gave me a trail of sparks...............

 

Wonder if they will do the same thing if a RSV goes by them.............

i shall see if i happen to pass them.....hehehe..... :smile:

Don't every let it make you upset, and realise that as long you've got the basic skill level, it's not so much a question of skill as luck. You're participating in a bureaucratic jackpot and if you keep cool and try your luck enough times, you'll eventually win. Remember, don't kan jiong - you're there to gamble. Where are you taking your TP?

hi......thanx.....i taking my tp at BBDc.........sianz......seems like a difficult place to take tp......wonderin if anyone actually pass the first time over there.........

[xiongzzz]

hey, the helmet u wearing damn impt! if u using ur own coloured helmet try putting a attractive big sticker behind so the almost blind tp uncle can see u're checking ur blindspot. if not he'll just give u pts even if u checked, cos he cant see a sh*t from the distance he sitting. i wore my black helmet for my first tp and i failed with a lot of blindspots even though i'm sure i checked all the dumb corners. my 2nd i pasted the sticker and i passed, heh. advices lah.

 

 

recently a lot of tp, sian sian.
