Aprilia Riders

[Benguin46]

Dear Mr Tan

 

We refer to the feedback which you have sent in to Feedback Unit on 8 July

2005. We have received the inputs from the Singapore Tourism Board, Urban

Redevelopment Authority (URA) and the Traffic Police. The agencies thank

you for the feedback on the race rack and interest in motor sports.

Appended below are their replies.

 

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has been actively looking at the

development of a motorsports event in Singapore. As part of this effort,

STB engages in various dialogues with experts in the motor-racing industry

and motorsports associations, on the feasibility, the scope and the

potential of hosting such motorsports events here that would be consistent

with our profile as an exciting destination.

 

In the light of the recent newspaper and internet articles that have been

published on the matter, STB wishes to clarify that we have not put in any

bid for an international motorsports event to be held in Singapore. This

however does not rule out the possibility for STB to do so, should the

opportunity arise in the future. Should the need to identify a street

circuit for motorsports events arise, STB will certainly bear your input in

mind.

 

The URA replied to say that the Government has tendered out sites in the

past for sports & recreation uses. For example, JTC recently called for a

Request-for-Proposal to develop a 24ha site in Tuas for sport & recreation

activities, which can be used for developing racing tracks.

 

If investors want the State to allocate land directly to them to develop

such a project, they would need the support of agencies such as STB. URA

can then help to look for suitable land.

 

The Traffic Police has replied that the track would be segregated from the

ordinary motoring public and those who go there do so for racing and should

therefore undertake the associated risk without endangering other road

users. Therefore, TP has in principle no objection to the building of the

race track since the race is not on the public roads.

 

The race track would also be designed by track design expert and he should

comply with all existing design standards and basic safety considerations.

The management of the track would also be responsible and ensure that the

daily operations of the track meet the existing standards. TP would not be

the authority to comment on this aspect. The management should engage their

own consultant.

 

We hope you find the information provided useful.

 

Thank you.

I was under the impression that spark plug tips made of certain materials last longer than others. For instance, after a while, the ends of spark plugs get worn out and slightly rounded, reducing efficiency, requiring either replacement or re-gapping, like you mentioned. Supposedly, more expensive plugs reduces this need. But like I said, I don't know cuz I never tried myself! Oh yah, anyone know where's the best place to get a spark plug gapping tool? I already have plenty of feeler gauges that I use for setting up my guitars. Hmm, I must ask Derrick about his spark plugs sometime soon.

 

This reminds me of my army workshop IC telling me about a supercharger-like device whose sole purpose is to aid the scavenging process. Anyone heard of such a thing?

 

Thanks again for sharing good info Alex. Any idea where the best place would be to get my engine ported in Singapore?

 

[

well i'm using feeler guages too... works all the time... i don really dwell into spark plugs info.. just the basics... anyway the difference in performance is really quite minimal for different brands with the same heat range... as long as the plug don give u timing lack for sparking can already... track wise use a colder plug if u don wanna change jet....

 

As for porting wise... wat do u wanna do? align the ports or change port timing? the price to pay is high i supposed... don really know who does it.... but a porting tool is damn ex... the angled bit itself cost few hundred according to david(teck thye)

Why change jet for track? To increase high-end power?   I was thinking of porting to align ports, but if so ex forget it man, heheh.

Judging from the letter, he never answered the question. He said they have no current plans to build, but if they did build, this is what they would do. I'm guessing Benguin's suggestion was that they build the track.

colder plugs does not mean colder engine temp... it is the speed that it can dissapate heat and prevent hot spots for detonation... a colder heat range will not have good low end to mid... changing the jets or not really depends on the mixture u r currently running...

 

alignment of ports can do yrself when u overhual yr engine....

[Benguin46]

well.. if im not wrong dey not planning to build yet, n they will when opportunity knocks.. jus like the casino incident.. i referred tis to them n they said its tru.. but yea.. when opportunity knocks.. lets hope it knocks soon..

My dear friend,

 

I was just saying that i happened to buy my bike before i passed.. It SEEMED like a good buy THEN.. Haiz, a classic case of pot calling the kettle black.. Somemore i already black...

 

But to all the guys who are waiting for TP or just doing your license.. My advice is that be patient when getting a bike. Believe me, the temptation to ride before you pass is too great!

 

haiz, my bike in NTrust now..

[Benguin46]

i will pass my thurs tp

go ben go.. go ben go..

[MaTrIx87]

tight? how tight? got free play anot when not on the bike?

[spiderman]

try sitting on the bike and touch yr chain.. if u feel its tight without free play then u have to loosen it...

not too tight n not too lose.. as complied to ssdc's standards.. when nvr touch it it doesnt sag.. n if i try to push it upwards n moves up.. meaning it isnt too tight n neither is it touching the fairing as when u see it without touching it looks straight n not saggy

then wat about when u sit on the bike? bcos it does not mean it stays like that when u sit on it... u should follow the owner's manual for yr bike... the ssdc one is just a guide line
