[Blahhh]

Hey bros, I have been reading about Aprillians ****ing up their "valves" or something. What is it exactly and how does one remedy or prevent it from happening?

use better 2t and the right amt adjusted by yr 2t pump... good jetting and of cos every time before u paark yr bike try to wack first to clear the carbon in the engine... wack as in riding wack not stationary... and make sure yr valve is adjusted properly or else it will break or the cable will...

thanks bro.. its a 2 piece verona komine suit ( i think so)[/b] Bro, you've got me interested in Komine suits suddenly, but I don't know much about them. I think I'll pay Motoworld a visit, then can drop by Ideal to buy spare fairing nuts.   Originally posted by spiderman+--> QUOTE (spiderman) after u all go track can post yr timing inside[/b] Eh? How come your time not there, or I blind from sleepiness?   Originally posted by snowparang you would tune a 2 stroke racer differently to a 2 stroke dirt bike? A strong torque spread is more important for dirt, but for racers, horsepower is a big deal, and you make more horsepower if max torque comes at higher revs (torque x rpm = HP)   Originally posted by snowparang But the down side, besides fouled plugs, is the higher consumption? I don't think real-world usage is quite so clear cut. For instance, if you run lean and need to rev a lot to get enough usable torque, you may end up using more fuel than if you were running rich and cruising around contentedly at 5k rpm.   Originally posted by snowparang change of exhaust, open pod filters etc will all require rejetting. true? This probably varies depending on how radical the mods are. Rejetting's required if the AF mix changes significantly. A slightly less restrictive exhaust than stock may not require anything to be done.   Originally posted by CMYRS If you want the full story I will tell it in person Andre, you've revealed yourself to be one hardcore performance nut   Originally posted by spiderman i like my plug to be meduim tanned I must remember to ask you to show me the colour.

Yes, Law can do for you, no problem

[muser]

As promised, here's an excerpt on carburetion from Cameron's book (in my sig):

 

"Engines idle on a very rich mixture of about 10-11:1. This is necessary because vaporisation conditions are poor at idle, when intake air veolcity is low and mixing is poor. Consequently, low-volatility parts of the fuel remain liquid, creeping along the intake pipe walls, and do not burn. More fuel must be added to deliver a combustible vapour fraction.

 

Engines cruise on a chemically correct mixture (14.8:1) or even a bit leaner. This produces maximum economy and minimum emissions (with plenty of oxygen available, unburned hydrocarbons are minimised - every dancer has a partner).

 

Maximum power is achieved with a somewhat richer-than-correct mixture in the 12-13:1 range. The extra fuel gives the combustion gas a slightly larger specific volume, based upon a larger number of reaction product molecules. Adding more extra fuel than this reduces power."

 

Ok, that's enough, goodnite everyone

Pasir Gudang Track Session

 

When? This Friday, July 8th

What time? Which slot do you guys think we can make it for if we meet around the 2nd link at 9am? Sorry, but I haven't been to PG in over 2 years, and never on a bike, so not sure best way to go about things.

Why? Because it's way overdue, and because I feel like it. Because I'm 28 and I'd better hurry up and do some living, otherwise I'll end up beard-dragging on the track, not knee-dragging. As DeusExMachina said before, no need to schedule a Grand Aprilia Track Day - feel like going just go.

Who?

1) muser Chris 97405630

2) maiker michael 9691 6356. need to be home b4 1600.working at 1700.

got to test my new found power!!!

A non-adjustable rear shock doesn't sound like that great an investment. Bitubo too big? The way it looks now, I'll take my chances with WP. Thanks for doing all the research Ben. Do you feel you've gotten all the info you possibly can from Teck Thye? Perhaps we should approach another suspension vendor/tuner next, before making a decision.

 

Andre's already stated clearly why he wants to move on - he's an adrenaline junkie who, among other things, needs to feel the Hand of God Himself shoving him into his car seat whenever he steps on the accelerator pedal.

U wont go wrong with WP hehhe... Tried Tested and Proven. I miss my WP so much !!!

[wacko]

muser> really.. hmm..

anyway..

if u are going down to motoworld..

give me a beep..

u got my number right..

wanna check something out..

anyway....

those komine suits are really great for beginners as it won't hurt ur pockets unless u got big pockets..

its perforated at places where u want air into and all the protections are in place..

can get it at motoworld..

i got mine at only $450..

then end up getting a shark s800 helmet and a spidi long gloves..

total cost=

:cheeky:

[wacko]

take care guys..

subbie> hope to hear the good news...

i think ur tp is today if i'm not wrong..

gotta catch Fantastic4..

will tell u guys the reviews..

till then...

FLAME ON!!!!!!!

 

:bouncefire:

[speedkills]

sub> good luck man!! let us know soon!!!!!!!! by now the verdict should be out!!! *prays for you*

Are you planning to sell in the short term (within the month) or the long term (a couple of months)? I'm sure there are plenty of people eyeing your bike who'd love to know. Will you be getting another bike or are you going for a car? Was the Skyline you were referring to yours? Speed junkie, eh? I can understand that. Well, I'm staying firmly planted on 2 wheels, heheh.

Muser,

Will be looking at selling in the long term.

Pls remind me that we must have a track session before I do the deed.

 

Anything fast with wheels, I LIKE!

Will be looking at another bike for sure.

 

I really hate the fact that the majority of the Spore population think that people ride bikes cause they cant afford cars.

 

Eg. After owning a bike for a no. of years, ppl spot you with a car and they go,"OH! You upgraded and got yrself a car!"

 

OR

 

the Double D logic

"Eh, bike so Dirty and Dangerous, buy a car lahhhhh"

When I hear that, I feel like taking my helmet & smacking him on the head.

But I think to myself.........what a wonderful world..........

 

I never heard such remarks when I was in Syd for 7yrs.

Bikes & Bikers get respect on the roads, regardless if its a Honda Cub or a Custom soft tail fatboy.

 

 

Anywayz.......

 

Speed junkie I am, top speed on 4 wheels so far is 276km/h.

Tracked using 2 GPS in the car. Speed variation between the 2 was about 0.4kmh difference.

On 2 wheels, nothing worth mentioning.......Im still eyeing that turbo Haya that smokes the rear end at over 100km/h sideways.........till then..........

Well, someone who i thought was very quiet apparently is a mighty cili padi.. heheh.. Nice account on your experiences. We need more people like u who have extensive experience to be able to make serious comparisons and judgement. Think U n chris can join up.. hehe...

 

Chris sori abt the other day with regards the makan... OT lar.

Pasir Gudang Track Session

 

When? Tomorrow - Friday, July 8th

What time? Meet near 2nd link at 9am, aiming for PG 10am slot

Why? Because you know you want to

Who?

1) muser Chris 9740 5630 Also need to be home by around 1400.

2) maiker michael 9691 6356. need to be home b4 1600.working at 1700.

got to test my new found power!!!

3) ...

 

Blast from 10am, makan lunch there, come back to S'pore; simple and quite chopchop. I'll be calling PG this afternoon to double-confirm track availability. I'm guessing plenty of people need to work "normal" hours, so can't make it on a Friday morning. Nevermind, I'll just go, even if it's just Michael and me, and the rest can go together some other time. By the way, you don't need to go PG to race hardcore - go there see see look look also can; tour track slowly also can.
