hi guys ,

wat other insurance company do for aprilia expect ntuc. cos today i go buy no more counted the first rider name liao, it count the most inexperience rider one.

I just did my insurance a month ago, NTUC count the experience of the main policy holder and not the sub-rider experiences. So if your dad have more experience, then get him to be the policy holder cum bike owner. The transfer fee is $70 if I am not wrong.

 

Someone organise a DIY soon leh. I believe it will be a good experience for new owners on how to take better care of their bikes also. West Side regional head? Central regional head? Anybody please!!!

[NUT]

i buy on 30/7/05 , ntuc tell me no more count first rider liao. cos i use my father name then process half way and tell me cant liao.

float=nr.2(3,5gr.)

main jet=152

sprayer=266 DQ

idling jet=60

air screw opened no of turns=1 and 1/2

tahts all it says in the manual,hope it helps

Hi kelvin, you can't get the click at 2.5k all the time,it does not work all the time for me too..

 

About the tuning of the UK bikes, it's different over here due to air temp and stuff like that IMO.Whatever works for them might not work for us here.

i have tried various 2t setting / main jets and different level of petrol comsumption and different quality of 2t(motul 600/800 and rock oil).. i take out my valve everyweek and based my theory on my valve condtion.. when my fc and 2t setting is rich my valve wun have any solid carbon sticking to it , only black liquid stuff.... when tune lean , carbon seem to harden very fast ...

when is it so then how about the performance of the engine? the performance not so good right? y is it in liquid form bcos too much 2t then it will affect mostly the mid range and just when valve is just about to open at 8k rpm to be not so responsive.. thats unburned 2t... u will notice that yr exhaust is oily on the mouth of the muffler... thats the indication of too much 2t...

Around 11 to 12K depend on your age cos the insurance pricing will be difference. I have ask Mah before they told me they only have 03 model cos aprilia don't manufacture every year or maybe just for Singapore. Not much demand so not much supply lor. I don't think they have the Poggiali paintwork bike unless you go and spray the whole new bike which i think is not worth it.

Hi guys! Long time since I lasted posted here!

 

Anyway, just got back home from NDP stuff...... tired.

 

Well, onto the interesting part - on my way home, my chain broke! Luckily it didn't jam my rear wheel man! Funny thing is that I serviced it last month only. Now must change.

 

Just wanna check something with you guys - I replaced my valve, but it rattles a lot due to a small opening in my engine block. (Courtesy of my last valve that got stuck.) Will this do any damage to my block / valve?

 

Speaking of valves, anyone got the name and address of the workshop that sells stainless steel valves? Heard from a friend that its somewhere in tampines.....

 

Regards,

No probs gonggong, glad to be of help. Like I said over SMS, you need a layer of 2T to protect your valve and prevent carbon from sticking to it. If it were dry, carbon would accumulate like mad on it and you'd have a hard time getting it off. Ideally, the 2T should absorb the carbon, and you should be able to just wipe it off. BTW, what's your 2T consumption like? I've been obsessing a lot about 2T recently, and am seriously (for the umpteenth time) going premix. Is anyone on premix here?[/b]   I think next week, i will be opening up my left fairing, so, i might just lean the 2T by a little bit. Its too much for street riding. And if i go track...see below.   I actually dun mind the layer of oil. I rather sacrifice some horses and prevent my valve/piston/etc from being spoilt.   I have not been really keeping track of 2Tconsumption. Since i bought my bike, i travelled abt 4000km, and I gone through 4-5bottles of 2T. I guess thats make my 2T consumption around 800-1000km per litre.   Well, if you are fine with carrying around a bottle of 2T, its good to use premix. If not, what you can do is, carry on with your current 2T setting. If you wanna go track, then just pour in 100-200ml of (Motul800/Maxima castor927/Castrol747) into a full tank of fuel and you should be fine if you keep holding your bike at 10k rpm around the track.

I dont know why, but many Aprilians seem to be getting into accidents.. I'm just glad that they are all minor ones.. Just yesterdae, a friend(Shane) nearly had an accident.. His rear wheel locked and he had to do some fancy steering on TPE/SLE to escape unscathed.. Luckily a cabby behind him helped block traffic.. Guess not all cabbies are maniacs...

 

Take care of yourself bro.. Wont be long before you're riding again! The rest, please rider safely..

 

Remember "speed kills"!

my no 98472787... firstly u ride yr bike and throttle to the rmp that is having that prob... try to mark the throttle at that place then take out yr air box and see where exactly is the needle at... cos the needly got a few points where the gradient varies... so yr flat spot should be due to lean i spuppose then the needle thickness should be narrower at the point of the flat spot than the one u r using now...

[Visor]

ah yea, thats what my mech did, the thing is how narrow/thinner it should be thats bothering me.

[spiderman]

o u can find them in the mikuni needle list i think.... how much narrower really depends.... u try to buy around 3 sizes should be enough to solve yr prob...

[spiderman]

since u only jet down a bit i believe it should be easy job lah more ever its a single cylinder bike.... the needle shoud be richer by one size bah...

[eyz]

hmmm mayb tis might helps...

 

different part of the carbs affected by different level of throttle
