oh no dat Aprilia only has damm many holes drill on the case...

 

yes ther is CF look printing can even print the fairing as well n will really look gd on the transmission case...widening the hole sounds gd but at the same time I guess dirt n water will hav a easier time goin in as well..maybe u will like to hav smaller holes drill in a nicer pattern at the correct location wher itz not so easy for dirt n water to seep in juz in case

 

if not widen the hole n put back the snorkel n mod the snorkel abit to hav holes n lay a wire mesh n sponge behind it for abit of protection...the ang mos like to dig out a big hole on the snorkel n fit a air scoop onto it

Ha, the holes looked like CF from afar.. On closer inspection, yeah, black tranny case with lotsa holes..

 

Im not too worried about water and dust.. Need a mesh to keep rocks out though.. Dry clutches are all built exposed, so dun see no harm..

 

Yeah, I've seen them before.. But locally dun have the air scoop (correct me if Im wrong).. Must order..

 

If really keen, then maybe order lor.. Just KIV for now..

Oh, I tot real CF from the pix spy posted.. Actually not.. Im thinking of doing the CF-look case.. Basically its just a coating of CF-lookalike applied onto the existing case lor..

 

How's yr trip??? Got manhunt title already?? ha.

 

Eh daniel, btw, I just noticed you joined SBF earlier than anyone of us here.. ha! And I presume that's even before you got your licence am I right??

[danielburgess]

Yeah, joined it very early. Back then was in the phantom knights group as I loved the phantom, and managed to ride one for a while when my friend was out stationed in perth, after that had a Cagiva planet, actually was my cousin's, but he got a car.

But anyway, although I was in SBF the longest, I am still one of the least experienced in the group! Hahaha...

 

Cheers...

[danielburgess]

Erm, we talking about the DNA 180 or Aprilia RS250? Hmm, the carbon fibre thing is just a sheet like a sticker if I am not wrong as my friend pasted it onto his archery bow, and it is quite lasting, does'nt "doggy-ear"...

 

Cheers...

[danielburgess]

Oh,

Spiderman, you keen in changing your "zorst" cause if so can go and do it together. Mine the state becoming quite jialat liaoz, more rusty then shipwreck. Hmmm, one more thing, when is track day!!!!!!!!!!!

DNA la.. Ha. That fake CF sticker can get from LAB.. Very VERY difficult to get it to stick to the contours of the casing.. The CF look-alike coating is a different thing.. Its done using water transfer technology.. Much more expensive compared to the sticker treatment.

 

Let me know when you guys changing leh.. hee... KPO.. BTW, if you guys wanna get the GPR zorst, gimme a pm or sms. I can point you to the right direction...

 

Trackday tough these days.. Always raining leh.. And my rear tyre turning into slick tyre soon.. ha.. Scary..

slick faster mah.. more grip in dry weather! haha....

wonder do they produce slicks for scooters...

[danielburgess]

GPR? Yeah, went to Taihin today to check it out, looks like a good zorst for me, he quoted $650 for the pipe, another $80 for a "full-system". Think it is a good deal guys?

[spy622]

so stroker wat do u tink abt a full system??

Bro, which one did they quote $650? GPR? Which finishing? Full system?? What full system? GPR again??

I suppose it depends on which brand... I dunno which full system is daniel refering to.. GPR full system? I dun think so.. For a 4stroke machine, I really dun think the zorst can give much horsepower.. Full system or not..

saw daniel today...itz the Titanium he toking abt...n also the whole gpr full system..

 

basically a full system will always work better but Im really not sure in the case of a slip-on vs a full system on a 4stroke scoot

current batch of pilot sports kinda sucks..heresay itz due to the country itz made in but I not too sure if the QC will be dat big diff...my new pilot sports dun seem to melt dat gd like the last 1 despite a lower tyre pressure..

 

but I kno the Japs like to use the bridgestone hoops n this for track..

juz dun understand y they fit a bigger tyre to the front instead n way oversize..n aft checking it out the BT601ss also offically dun hav such big size...but from the pic n the info on the bridgestone webby it seems gd

nice... i din see pilot sport burn on a scooter and very minimal on a 250 too... gpr70 still the best price for performance

Only the normal mounted ones comes in full system and road legal. High exit only slip on that's road legal.

 

But as for the full system, they only 'fit' a VXR.. So the docs will state that its for VXR.. Dunno how to pass inspection when its fitted to DNA leh.. Better clarify that b4 buying the full system. Correct me if Im wrong, as I'd bought mine for quite some time..

 

But bro, frankly speakin' like Ive said, I'll really think that the full system and slip-on both wont make a 4stroke scoot that much more powerful.. Especially in the case of daniel.. Stock bike, stock intake.. At most is better throttle response and sound quicker.. Even PM's race zorst for 4stroke scoot only manage to pump out 1-2 hp more only.. They're known to produce powerful pipes for scoots.. Most reported no real power advantage be it the scorpion, gpr, or lv..

 

Whereas a 2stroker is diff.. If the right full system is fitted, zooOoooOomm Off you go! (with the correct carb and roller setting of course)..

 

Cheers!
