Aprilia Riders

[eyz]

messiah.. mayb you ask Ah boon or talk to the lady boss, see whether

can cham siong or not... or put there for the time being.. when you got

enought money, then you'll do your overhaul..

or see whether can pay installment or not?? thou i doubt so..

it's such a waste to scrap or sell the bike.. 1stly, you'd change quite a

no. of stuffs.. 2ndly selling it would be difficult, you won't get back a lot

of money.. since the new owner has to keep aside a sum of money for

the overhaul..

hello guys,

I've checked with my friend and realised that our bulbs are opposite!

 

As in, his high beam is my low beam and my low beam is his high beam!

 

Um...can anyone tell me which side is the high beam n which side is the low beam?

thanks

[fibre]

hey there guys, regardin the lousy low beam,

some angmos at apriliaforum managed to take out the headlight unit and clean the lenses. Also they repainted the reflector. Plus theres a deflector which can be taken out to improve the lighting

 

splitting the headlights for cleaning with pics

 

Anybody wana try it with me? servo? I bet mine have not been cleaned since 1998, which explains the weak light

can cham siong or not i don't think its possible.

and ya... installments... didn't think abt that but as you said, don't think its possible also.

of course i would love to keep it... had a wonderful time riding it. i feel more at home with it then my friend's sp.

really in a fix right now... don't know want to keep or sell to pay for downpayment of a sp.

btw, this is considered major engine overhaul ?

also changed the pressure plate so don't think got any other major parts which i should be worried about right ?

[fibre]

basically, except for the gear n balancer, u've changed the whole engine

[eyz]

no lah.. he has not change the engine block yet leh...

 

but an overhaul is the last major repair you can do...

hee

[eyz]

oh yah..

for your guys info.. the parking light i'm talking about..

i installed it additionally... heee

it's actually a small red light in between the 2 beam light...

hee

[fibre]

um, the parking lights come by default (er is white color not red)

 

but just tat most people dun realise it as their bikes have auto switching device which switches it on with the low beam

[Guest sh4dy-3mmm]

hmmm mi riding extrema lo... got 3 different beam from wad i noe...

[bktan]

gee really had no idea i had a parking light

[daojeff]

ya lor... mi also find tt there r 3 beams... 1 more morning use when it is so f***ing bright n on the headlight is just like a waste of battery... 1 is the low beam for night use n lastly the high beam lor... (for flashing ppl) :sweat:

[eyz]

Hi

I am new to this thread... wonder anyone here ride RS125 2003~? Any problem wif this model~? Petrol consumption~? Coz I might be taking over 1....

[bktan]

problem is one of many... some say by luck some say by regular maintenance.

 

To me to each his own, as long as u know how to take care of the bike, it shld run fine. so read up all u know about technical stuff, have a bit of engineering background and off u go, a lovely bike.

[gary84]

how abt petrol consumption~? It's handling is good but top speed not very fast rite~? How abt pick-ups~?

[pingster]

my fuel consumption is 17.5 km/L

 

top speed lose to sp/krr, pick up... quite ok lah...

most of these depend on the sprocket sizing also...

 

some people change to fast pick sprocket size, but will have to compensate

your top speed..

 

dean, concentrate your TP first lah...

pass your tp liao, then slowly hunt for your aprilia...

wanna get mine??

[eyz]

man we should meet up with you and your friend to take a look at your friend's pipe...

[lacrimosae]

How bout a kopi session?

 

I'd like to meet shady and his friend too....

My bike's top speed is only 140kph.

[ah_bern]

hey

when's the kopi session.?

 

well i've a few qns for ya

 

1. i experience lotsa white smoke when i start my bike.. what does that means.?

2. how much is it to wash he valve.?

[bktan]

1. white smoke is normal when the bike's first started. if its been running when warm (e.g. maybe after 30 mins) and still white smoke, than it means ur bike is not burning ur 2T properly, or too much 2T going in.

 

2. think wash valve can DIY. use 2T oil, a tweezer and scrape.

hi... got some qns abt rs125 03 insurance... if I were to renew the insurance, can i choose 3rd party instead of 2nd party~? Coz when it was juz bought it was 2nd party...

Yes, you may change the policy.

 

Just inform the insuring company that you wish to change your insurance policy. If the year isnt up, they will refund you the balance for whichever month that has been paid that year.

If that year's premium has been fully paid off, and you're going to pay the premium for another year, then just inform them, your policy will be amended on the spot, and you pay less premium for the current year.
