hey guys! just wanna check how well can an extrema shoot with its standard milo kong? mine just travels bout 160-180km/h. the bikes totally standard, FM plate. any extrema guys ard here? And by the way, come on guys, lets get a gathering once again, all the mito, aprilia, ducati, and lets invite our chief guest MV Agusta too! haha, tat meeting at the good wood park was great, the 998s launch. well, k guys, enjoy ur riding safely. keep on the lookout, tps are on the move!

[gilakia]

Hi guys! Thanks for the advice!

 

The thing is that my bike has always been like this with the Milo Kong, and i've cleaned my valve, already using Maxima 2T (Castor 927), and I've got a good mech. He's already tried tuning for me and tells me the Milo is like that.

 

In order for me to pick up quick, I have to rev up to 7k rpm just to move quick.

 

About the response, its slow to react to the throttle pull, slow rise in inital rpm @ 1st gear.

 

Anyway, I'm pretty much looking out for any 2nd hand Arrow end can (with cert) that's suitable for Aprilia RS 125 (Y2K). If there are any KTs pls let me know ok?!

 

Thanks again all! My love to all of u.

 

(In the meantime, I'll go get that 3-in-1 special first! hehe!)

Y2k can't use the cheap double bubble that replicas are using...

if i'm not wrong, it'll cost abv 100$ for y2k double bubble windscreen...

the cheap double bubble is made of much inferior material and is almost half the thickness of the original 1s..

thus in the event of an accident, the cheapo windshield will crack easily and if ya rider is to be thrown forward.. can imagine the broken windshield ripping ya abdomen off... haha alright.. a bit scary.. but it's the truth lah...

 

just check the thickness and the edge of ya original windshield.. it's considerably thick and the edge is rounded and even thicker...

snow, do u have the specs for the bitubo... bitubo shows that they does not have a specific rear shock for the rs250...

are you going to order from a local source or?

YEs it's local source, authorised distributor. With getting your weight and adjusting/setting/personalising the shock for you.

 

And it's not listed in the website not because they don't do RS250, because (or so I heard them explain) nobody ask them to do it. Almost nobody. They know how to do it though. This also explain the rationale that they need 2 orders, to cover their expense in producing this rare item.

 

It has preload and damping. 2 way adjustable only, no canister nor piggyback. May not look as pro as the stock, but it's better I guess.

 

Interested? Drop me a PM or sms.

get dounle bubble screens like mine!

tested and proven that it's not broken after a few crash..lol

If they really warned the bugger and put a mark on his record, that's at least something, though I agree that it's not enough for truly dangerous road behaviour. Many of these drivers don't deserve to be on the road - no pride in their profession, and never consider the consequences of their attitude.

Think the best solution for you is to change to a bigger cc bike.

Or try a different mech - you never know. You may simple find that another mech's tuning style gives you the results you want. No two of our bikes ride the same, even with the same hardware. Much of that difference is in the delicate settings in our carburetors. Experiment with different mechs and with different carburetor settings.

how much for one good one again? actually hor..i dun even know how to change..is it difficult to? wonder if it will look nice anot

 

but that also means i have to sacrifice my sticker which is on the one i have now..

[speedkills]

sorry for so many posts,

 

anyway wanted to check if its possible to get a transparent plastic sheet (something that acts as a bike cover) / a bike cover also can...then can be folded and put under my seat...the one i have now cannot be squeezed into my seat..sigh...like dat if i ride to school when heavy rain/shine... :giddy:

 

right now i have a XL size...too big for my bike! but i can cover and tie knots at the back to prevent from flying off and the front there are abit of extra leftovers which i push my bike on top of it so no joker can take my cover or do something to my baby..

 

wad i am more concerned of is the electronics of the bike...if can prevent damages from water as much as possible better.

 

sorry for the bad england

[Sub Zero]

Speedkills,

 

I believe you can get a decent sized bike cover at Ah Boy.. Is waterproof and should be able to fit under ur seat if you fold properly.. If i'm not wrong, Andrew got it for 13 bucks..

[speedkills]

ok thx...cool...u know wad size that is?

jus now brought my doggy for a run decided to start my bike engine warm up abit but then this prob keep happening... wonder why...

Sounds like your clutch may be sticking.

 

Should clear up once warmed up. So the next time, just sit on your bike and hold the clutch in for abt a minute or so and observe if the problem still remains,

Nothing to do with your choke,should be your bike is still cold, like what deus just said.

Oh another thing, you can't warm up the bike by just on/off the engine, you have to ride the bike and let the oils flow, letting the engine start stationary ain't going to help.

PS: Ask ur dad to ride it with you as pilian behind in the evenings or something, when's your TP bro?

Other than something to do with your clutch or engine or etc.. Maybe what happened to me might be exactly what you experiencing right now if you riding a Y2K.

 

For Y2K (not sure replica has this device or not), there is a safely electronic device attached to your side stand. Thats why you have the sidestand light on the Y2K. This device will cut off the engine if your side stand is still down and you engage first gear. It happened to me not too long after i got my bike back in jan when it was raining almost every other day. Brought the bike to bike shop, check almost everything possible, but cannot find the fault as the prob not happening when i brought the bike to the shop. Then the old man realised that its the device thing and he spray water onto the side stand. True enough, the engine dies when the side stand is UP with 1st gear engage. It seems like the device will screw up when damp.

 

So, instead of replacing the device, he did a simple bypass and now, bike no prob liao. Cost me only $5 bucks. the only drawback is that my side stand light wont work now and i can ride around with my side stand down without knowing it.

okok=) thx...jus needed to clarify thaty it is not because a electrical conponent is faulty because of underusage. so i clutch in while in neutral gear with engine started or jus clutch in without engine running?

 

my tp is on 13th july. pray that i can clear it first time man..

 

i knowe about the side stand thing..i actually rather have that because i always forget to bring up side stand in bbdc...

no need bro, just start engine as normal, no need to clutch in on neutral gear, let it warm up to 55-60 then go for a spin(wack!).

 

Y2K models have replaced the fuel light guage on Replicas with Sidestand Guage which comes with the safety device thing(which is stupid if u ask me).
