not really tat bad lah.. alex, dun scared the rest of the ppl who wants to get a rs125 leh... hehe

 

thou it seems like the valve is like a 'consumable' nowadays.. but out of my 3 yrs ridin the 125.. i only got 2 broken valve.. seems like there's something which is causin the frequent broken valve..

 

by the way, to those guys out there who are havin broken valve.. first motor managed a fabricate a unique stainless steel valve.. the stem of the valve is detachable.. the commonly broken part of the valve is the groove, where the valve cable is slotted in.. so, in the event of a broken groove, the stem can be replaced without much cost.. but so far hasn't find out the cost of the stem yet...

just speculating, cos i have not even tried to take out my valve myself.

 

could it be that during re-installation, the DIY person over/under tigthen some screw/bolt, and then causing the breakage?

 

anybody have torque values for the bolts involved? or am i talking nonsense?

so i am getting the impression that aprilia riders (me inclusive) are basically one crazy, messed up bunch of people who, despite advice to the contrary, go ahead and buy a bike which can be anything from 2-10 times the price of an almost equivalent model from a competing manufacturer; then will willingly wait days, weeks, and months while their bikes are inevitably serviced (while their friends are happily riding), and again pay 2-5 times the cost for equivalent parts/ labour. and then the bike cannot go as fast as, or pick up quicker than, an NSR-SP, or a CBR150, or a KRR, or a (hehheh) TZM.

 

all these for the ability to look at the bike and go: "man, what a sexy bike".

 

ahhh. the joys of owning an aprilia.

Now you get it....

[mike1024]

so i propose. next time anybody wants to ###### about their bikes' maintenance and serviceability issues, must preface their bitching with:

 

"man, what a sexy bike, but"...

 

[mike1024]

what the..

so next time someone wants to discuss the horrible state of the female dogs in the neighbourhood, have to continually type 'female dog', or else it comes out as #####?

well i think having a 250 is cheaper than a 125 in maintenace wise.... yr valve break one time already need at least 160 for a new one... 250 dun have this pro unless its like 7 to 8 yr old... i have not have a valve breakage on my 250s.. the old ride more than 2 yr and its 5+yr old when i bought it and is daily ride cos only have one bike that time... so u might have safe money and compesate in the fuel for much more hp... isn't that nice?

were u the RS250 at PG on Sunday?

from what i heard from sam is the valve housing hole becum bigger and the stem of the valve hit against the hole causing the breakage by i suspect its not this reason and from fibre its the valve motor pulling too tight cause the valve to break and he has broke three in the past but after he adjust the valve motor he did not break anymore. currently using the stainless steel valve other then very noisy when riding due to the valve knowcking on the exhaust its works the same.

if sam's paying, since he helped you "tune" your bike, you should not be asking for "cheap overhaul" already what, should be "expert overhaul"
