Sub> I also called Lawrence for his opinion of the SACHS shock and an approximate value for a new unit of a similar type. I think in it's condition the shock might be worth $200-300 but the guys at the shop don't speak "angmoh" so bargining wasn't really an option. I think they will just hold it and eventually manage to sell it to someone desperate. Who knows, it just might be me.

=p

The RS250 shock is rebuildable and I believe with some modifications it can be modified to mount to the RS125. That said I still think it's better to get a shock designed specifically for this bike.

to fit the RS250 shock, you just need to get 3 things correct: the length, the stroke, the mounting points. But this does not gurantee performance (but seeing the similarities between the 2 bike, even the weight, it should work fine).

 

$200-$300 for a RS250 shock that needs rebuilding, muddy and stuff? I sell you mine for $150! After my shock arrive though.

 

Anyway, since the $550 option is gone, yuo still ahve mine. Wanna join me when I collect my shock, so you can talk to the distributor? Friendly chap, definitely speaks ang moh.

 

Cheers.

Bro, what you mean can be done? can be done as in able to be rebuilt? or able to fit onto a rs125?

Like how Axxis and snowparang so excellently explained, the rs250 shock can be modified onto a 125.. Dont be surprised to see a rs125 with that modification on the road...

jack blue extrema i presume ?

 

anyway nice to see a fellow aoc-ian back again.

 

fyi rs250 was never designed as a road bike thus no legal pipes for it. altho we wished they did have it cos at least if the original pipes went bent, broken, leaking, we could have an alternative replacement.

was lapped by a ah beng on a frazer this morning on TPE

 

after he over took me turn ard n stare at me sommore, typical ah beng rider

 

 

u know him?

haha... of course not.

 

I wanted to see the condition of the so called rebuilt shock first, then try and see some proof of the rebuilding and then if I felt it was ok I'd get it fitted and ofcourse ensure that it works properly before handing over the money. If it didn't work I'd make them remove the shock and refit my old one and then argue over any charges that they wanna bill me for.

 

Seeing as it didn't even pass visual inspection there wasn't a need to go further so I just said no thanks and walked away..

 

Anyway, do you know of a method to test 2nd hand shocks other than fitting them to a bike? can't exactly compress them by hand and test the rebound.

[berukblue]

Chris i think you don't have a choice there, to properly test a shock you have to fit on to a bike.

Ok everyone:

 

Official launch of ARC website

Web address: aprilia.themuser.com

What: It's currently just a forum and events calendar, though hopefully it can be expanded beyond that

Why: To have our own space on the web instead of cramming everything into one thread

 

Lawrence did announce the forum earlier but that was a bit premature and most of the initial bugs have been sorted out since (I hope). I've got nothing against SBF, and will still be posting here. It's just a shame that there's so much info on this thread, yet no one can find any of it so people have to keep asking the same questions. I'm happily paying for the new site's web space and bandwidth out of my own pocket. But it's not my forum, it's my gift to you. Like all gifts, if you don't like it, you don't have to take it, but I hope you do. I can't do it all on my own, and need suggestions for FAQs, etc, etc.

 

The events calendar is for anyone to put up stuff like meet-ups and track sessions. It's much easier to see than posting in the forum. I've set up calendar accounts for those who've already signed up for the new forum cuz there's currently no way to let users register themselves. Your password is the same as your userID until you change it. For all new forum users who register from now on, I'll add your accounts asap, but if I miss you out, please let me know.

 

Thanks everyone in advance for your support.

Sept 3rd PG track session

 

wacko has asked me to arrange a PG track session for those who can't make it this Sunday. I've set up a thread here on the new forum for the event. I didn't use the events calendar this time since not many people are signed up yet.

Chris, I seen to have problem going in to the ARC website.. When luanch, all I get is black background and some icons that's all. I can't see any words at all. Is there anything need to set in our IE? Anyone face the same problem?
