My Aprilia is fixed! Hoo-fookin-ray Took long enough.[/b] Glad for you Chris! About bluddy time!   Originally posted by speedkills+--> QUOTE (speedkills) i ve checked with ntuc. the new policy would mean that the bike insurance would have to be under your name. for those who are already riding...your next insurance premium would then be charge according to the experience of the newer driver/rider.[/b] Hah? Sure or not? This is a big change, and a big deal. Edwin, can confirm?   Originally posted by speedkills better let own people earn than outsiders I agree 100% and plan to transfer my policy to Edwin when I renew early next year.   Originally posted by gonggong Visor and Muser, what main jet and pilot jet size you using now? I just changed from 145 to 135 and found that my needle is a bit bent. With the 135, i feel more mid-range power...should that be the case? Both you on 34mm or 28mm carb? I'm using 140 main, 36 pilot/idle, needle clip in middle position, and stock slide and needle, on Dell'Orto 34mm, though will be changing these drastically soon after some, er, adjustments to my bike. If I were you, I'd just buy a new needle, not bend it back cuz how accurate can you be? But I definitely wouldn't leave it bent.   Originally posted by potentguy where can i get one? Keep your eyes on the classifieds here at Singapore Bike Forums, and keep a lookout on the Aprilia thread for members who want to let their rides go, like CMYRS.

20000km! That's pretty low. Sounds quite good, though not exactly cheap. Tough to make a judgement without seeing, hearing and smelling it myself. Like I've said before, call the bugger to an Aprilia gathering, hahahah!

WP with milo? Like wearing tuxedo to go to the beach. Unlikely that those are WP forks, though anything's possible. 200km for a full tank? Including reserve? That's ok, I guess, though it's possible to do better. Tuned the jettings? He did it himself, or a shop did it? Which shop?

 

Oh, and delete your duplicate posts lah, see the delete button?

[LordCani]

As for the outings i will be more than happy to join u pple[/b] Just open either the left or right fairing, unscrew the valve housing, remove the valve, and wash it with petrol, WD40, Autosol, etc. Wait for a DIY session and we'll show you.   Originally posted by Benguin46@ Im not sure if its really wp forks.. but confirm 34mm carb, dono whether he tune himself or wat.. n yes wit a milo.. operated Visor is an expert on milo tong (operated milo kong), heheh. I'm serious, call the seller to a gathering, and guarantee him a sale if it passes our inspections. Bluddy simple.

Speaking of tuning, I just went from:

Idle jet - 38, air screw - 2 turns out, main jet - 125, fuel consumption - 23km/l

to

Idle jet - 38, air screw - 2.5 turns out, main jet - 140, fuel consumption - 25km/l

Hi Chris, hope you can shed more light on the air screw...

 

Turning the air screw is to do wat?

Turning out means more or less air?

Turning in (tightening) is for?

 

In wat siutation do i need to turn out or in?

hi eyz... well ok wat fork did u changed to? other bike model one?

 

about the screeching sound.... is it bcos u changed yr fork? if its a different fork then u might wanna see if the alightment from the caliper and the disc is straight...

ya alex, it's the same replica forks...

thou i think it shud be 96 or 97 model..

 

now thinking back.. i think i put too much fork oil.. silly me for being kiasu...

and i also didn't use measuring cup to fill the exact capacity...

 

regarding bout the screeching sound.. i only got it after i changed the fork..

tis.. previously i was using tis same fork.. and i have no problem..

The air screw regulates the amount of air mixing with the fuel supplied by the idle/pilot (both names refer to the same things) jet system within the carb. The screw only controls the air, not the fuel. Letting in more air (by turning the screw anti-clockwise, enlarging the air channel behind the screw) leans the idle jet system. Reducing the amount of air (by doing the opposite) richens the system. Bear in the mind that even though it's called the idle jet system, it doesn't only control the air-fuel mixture when you're idling - it also controls all air-fuel flow from 0 to 1/4 throttle. Therefore, the air screw setting determines how responsive your throttle feels, especially how crisp the initial cracking open of the throttle is.

 

A common and easy way to set your air screw is to close your air screw all the way (but never tighten it - it's bluddy delicate! - just close it till it won't turn any more), then open it up 1/2 a turn. Set your idle speed screw so that your bike's idling at the lowest it can sustain without dying (clockwise on idle speed screw increases idle speed, and vice versa), then slowly turn your air screws anti-clockwise while carefully watching your idle speed. The idle speed will increase. When it doesn't increase any further, close the air screw utnil the idle speed begins to decrease, then open it up again and stop at the exact point where the idle speed just reaches its maximum. If you want to play safe, let it go a little bit rich by stopping just before maximum idle speed is reached, or by reaching maximum idle speed, then closing the air screw a little bit. Then, adjust your idle speed screw accordingly (idle should be about 1250rpm).

 

Now listen: For you blur bros and sisters out there - don't try this if you're not sure what you're doing! I'm not responsible for anything BAD that happens, nor do I guarantee in any way that this information is faultless. Try at your own risk. However, I am confident that this information is correct

hello everyone... i'm very new here so i'm sorry to be asking this very newbie question... surveyed a few bike shops at queensway and yishun industrial park with recommendations from some friends. however i failed to find any aprilias for sale.. on websites like this one or yahoo auctions its also not easy to find an aprilia.. so seriously speaking, where can i get one?

btw, i was riding a cm125 but i got hit by a lorry about a week ago.. my whole bike was smashed.. luckily i survived unharmed.. now doing the insurance claim although i have no idea how long it will take..

well i noe that Ntrust boss is selling one, can try there

Bluddy simple.   [/b] Haha, i'm not expert on milo tong. But anyway ben if you want to check if it is, firstly at the stomach(chamber) area of the exhaust, just use something hard to knock it, it should sound hollow.Secondly,check if there is any weld marks on the chamber itself,if there is, most probably it has been cut open and welded back.I've seen some aprilias operate their milo kong on the end can, thou i'm not sure why or it helps at all..Anythinf else unsure ask him to come down to an apilia outing liek what chris said.
