Dunno bout the noise regulations but I bet ur arrows are rusted as feck cos mine certainly are...and treating them with Kurust and exhaust paint only puts of...
Yep, mine are badly rusty too. I asked why they're made from mild steel when I first bought them and was told it's because mild lends itself better to the way...
Hi all, You can buy SS pipes, but stainless ain't so good at resisting vibration..... I'd been told that the Arrow jet size is one down from standard on the...
Hi, me again, For me the Arrow pipes changed the power deliver, made it more rev happy and made the engine hang on for longer. I think the standard pipes ...
Hi guys, Not to question [sir ;-)] Bob - but I'm a little bemused as to why what works on a RGV don't work on a RS... unless the petrol quality has dropped...
Nothing wrong with a ramble! I think Bob's point was that Aprillia have already done the majority of his work for him. The RS is a lot more powerful as...
Hi there just my two cents worth :) it is true many bikes espescially strokers run better and give more power on higher octane fuel. It does`nt make a big...
Hi, What u say is entirely likely.. Usually u must raise the compression ratio & advance the timing to gain the benifits from a higher octane fuel. So if you...
Hi all Well, I finally got around to doing a track day. What a laugh it was. It rained which kind of took the edge off it and the bike suffered overheating on...
Well sadly my beloved RS250 must go as i am emigrating to New Zealand. If anybody knows of someone looking i`d appreciate the advertising! here`s the details: ...
Hello there, you asked whether anyone used pipes other than arrow, i've got nikons. There are 2 reasons for this, first they were half the price of the arrows!...
Hi Dude, Did you alter the jetting with the Nikons? I've checked out the Nikons next to jolly motos & although the JMs are better quality (nicer & neater...
Guys, I've finally made that jetting change I been going on about trying!! I shouldn't be posting yet coz I haven't really tested it!! However, I've dropped...
... What filters? That's the same jetting I use with my Arrows. I'm busy sanding them down for a re-spray. Which is terrible as they're only 2 years old and ...
... A - where the fuel line goes into the carb [in those silver right angle inlet pipes pressed into the carb bodies] there's 2 small filers pressed into the...
Jeez Trev, that's basic stuff!!!!!! ;) Turn carb upside down [with no float bowl on] hold float with finger until tab of float just touches the stop cock type...
Hey guys, If any of you guys ever visit the Nurburgring or know of guys that do, we have jsut opened up a B+B for bikers 15 mins from the ring. The website is ...
... fuel ... Hi Bren, Nope should be cool, coz it's the size of the various carb jets that control the amount of fuel entering the engine. What i've done is...
Hey! I KNOW it's basic stuff... I was just curious to know where/how the manual says to do it and how you DID do it - FWIW, sounds like you did just fine 'cos...
... that ... i realised that after i posted that last meesage. I should know I raced 100cc 2 stroke karts for 12 years...DUH... But thanks anyway..would be...
Hi, i think there might be an issue with tuning the RS & the quality of pump fuel, ok for the track when u can get a good supply, but so good for foriegn...
I spoke of Atol Fuels a little while ago when talking about tuning. They sell race fuel, guaranteed 98 octane, but it's expensive. About 80 quid for 25 litres....
... They ... quid ... be mad ... and ... SHHIIITTT!!!! thats not cheap... I use normal 95 Octaane in mine at the mo.. Seems to run OK..have not tried it on...
Hi I have recently acquired a set of race/road settings that might be of interest. This relates to machines produced after 1998 with the Showa front forks...
