hmmm....fp plate...renew coe soon right? i think certain things u need to consider...

 

1) insurance

2) road tax

3) maybe an engine overhaul

4) should be quite abit parts to change as its quite old.

 

set aside another $1k + for the wad nots.

 

:cheer:

Was told COE 3yrs more...Rd Tax n Insurance won't b a prob.... its juz the tunning up part that worries mi... dunnoe wats invlove... mayb top overhaul..... i'm not realli in a rush... still lookin... n recovering frm accident... Realli miss mi RS.. sh*t happens....

[fibre]

depends on what's your defination of tuning up

 

it could be simply getting the jetting fixed, spark plug n oil change

 

or it could be new pistow, new powervalve, new sprockets/chain, new tyres, + the above and many more

Made it home in one piece! Good ride everyone. Everyone's got a sore ass now. No problems from the mitos and aprilias except mine as usual.

 

Kudos to the mito guys, richard with his p-plates and amin with a pillion!

 

Cruz was having a blast on his RS125.

Is anybody interested in getting replacement shocks? It is not the original sach one, the brand name is Betor...made in spain or something

 

Like the standard one, it has only preload adjustable and are reputed last way longer than the stock items. It works on gas, not shock oil. Comes with 1 year warranty and is rebuildable

 

Cost : 84.25 pounds (VAT excluded) before shipping.

 

Is anyone interested? If the demand is good, I can do a little mass order so that we can save on shipping.

 

So for example:

One shock costs S$357, 2 costs S$320 each.

Dude, wat Mr xxes123 say is right.. Doesnt matter how old ur bike.. It's how well you take care of it.. PLus getting an FN plate Aprilia means more spare parts lying around.. and all the good things like no power cut etc..

I can't resist phrasing it another way: When you get an FN-plate Aprilia, make sure there are no "natural" power cuts from worn piston ring blow-by, loose con rod, clutch slip, broken valve, chipped gear teeth, malfunctioning carburetor components, deteriorated spark plug cable, disintegrated gaskets, corroded/clogged radiator, broken coolant pump gears, etc

 

xxes123 and Sub Zero are right in pointing out that maintenance and riding style are much more relevant in determining the condition of an Aprilia than age. But the undeniable reality is that there's a higher chance of wear and tear damage on older bikes. It's an issue of opportunity - there's been more opportunity over the years for stuff to wear out and not be replaced. Conversely, no matter how an idiot whacks his FZ plate, there's only so much wear he can inflict within his few months of ownership. This is, of course, speaking generally. We all know about fancy stuff like 3D lightning (insider joke, sorry).

[eyz]

wah muser very bad sia... idiot whack his FZ plate...

 

he's fren of derrick and alex leh.. say like tis..

 

hehe

 

guess wat guess wat?!?! my stupid plug BR9ECM fouled less than 1 week!! geez!! i think i can't use a resistor plug. wat ya guys think?? i had been using B9EGV and never encoutnered a foul plug before. But ever since I'm using BR9ES and BR9ECM, my plug kept fouling! I know my setting is a bit rich and that B9EGV has anti-fouling capabilities, but can't possible foul so easily, rite?? or it really does foul that easily?? -_____-

i slowly 1 by 1 destrict all the so-called restrictions liao , and now a few thousand poorer... :cheeky:

Im very keen on getting one but the prices there are quite steep.

The guy who quoted me the price was not the boss.

I had fun riding the mid size one, the micro ones were just impossible for me. And they cost abt $700 already.

The midi ones are about $1.2k.

Wont recommend riding round the carpark unless its a very deserted one, at that height, very difficult for them to see u.

But its sure alot of fun.

Will be going down to the shop this Sat, let me know if you can make it, should be sometime in the afternoon, 2-3?

tks Eyz!

[speeddemon]

Special thanks to the Aprillian...Ralf, Micheal and Cruz the man....wouldn`t have made it without u all. Hope this is the first tour ride of all many other ride i`m goin to have wif u all... cheers to all of ya!

 

btw Ralf u`re fix a flat is still wif me.
