Yep got the other half out maqte.

Just went to the petrol station on my motorbike,got there,put they key in the tank to open the nozel but it wouldn't go in so i had to come all the way home,put some greace in the key part of the tank to try and free it up. Tried again put the key in the tank to try and open it up so i could get some petrol in my bike,and it fooking snapped ffs. I have no spare key for my bike but have the two half's left of the key,do you think some key smiths will be able to make me out a replacement key with the 2 half's? Fooking hope so i don't wanna be forking out for a new ignition

Sorted it all out yesterday What would happen if i (cough) accidentally overfilled it with oil?

Hi all Me 1st post in ages. What it is i was driving home today ,when i was up shifting through the gears it got stuck on 3rd on would not go into 4th. So i pulled over and manually forced it into 4th and everything was ok from then on in. Now I'm thinking i need an engine oil change? I have an aprilia rs 2001 125cc bike and got told that the pertol oil (2 stroke) is all i need for my bike? Is this true or do i need separate engine oil for the gears etc....? Thanks

I'll have to buy a longer shock for the rear i think? The one on it is crappy and small

Hi all Is there a way of heightening an rs 125cc 2001 model bike? Mine look's really low , and i think it makes the bike look poor? Newer and the older bike looked alot better when it was higher. Is there a way of doing this? Or any hints and tips to make it look bigger at the rear? Thanks

I finally got the seized nut off the back and noticed the cdi unit's been messed around with? Didn't look like the size of hole the official way says for it to be done? But It's defiantly been tampered with , so i might have a cat or something in this exhaust seeing how It's new. I'm going to totally strip this bike in winter ,clean everything and renew piston+rings and other stuff.

Yep thanks for the warning father zed I haven't got around to do it yet I'm going to have a play in a min or two. Don't worry i won't be using that that's for sure on the brakes, thanks for the warning mate

I went to the garage before to put £5 of petty in my bike, went to alricham and back to my house I'd say 15-17 miles max, got home and there was hardly any petrol left whatsoever? surly there's something wrong here? I whipped the spark plug out and it was quiet black with a golden look around the ring at the top, dry also? On my way home 2 nights ago i noticed either the front wheel bearing of fork is squeaking so I'm going to grease this up , hopefully the will end that problem? As i was on my way home from alricham, before ,as i was slowing to a stop the revs on my bike were really high and then slowed down? Near a virtual standstill it was at 5000 rpm for a second or 2 then came down? What could be causing these problems anybody know please? Plus I'm going to break the bridge on my cdi unit to get rid of the rev limiter hopefully all will be ok.

Yep i sorted all that thx for all the help as useual everyone Now onto something totally different I went to the garage before to put £5 of petty in my bike, went to alricham and back to my house I'd say 15-17 miles max, got home and there was hardly any petrol left whatsoever? Surley there's something wrong here? I whipped the sparkplug out and it was quiet black with a golden look around the ring at the top, dry also? On my way home 2 nights ago i noticed either the front wheel bearing of fork is squeeking so I'm going to grease this up , hopefully the will eend that problem? As i was on my way home from alricham, before ,as i was slowing to a stop the rvvs on my bike were really high and then slowed down? Near a virtual standstill it was at 5000 rpm for a second or 2 then came down? What could be causing these problems anybody know please? Plus I'm going to break the bridge on my cdi unit to get rid of the rev limiter hopefully all will be ok.

I just noticed it coming home before, It's when I'm slowing down i can hear squeaking. When i got it home before i jumped up and down on the seat and the back shock seemed to squeak quiet alot. The front fork did to although not as noisy or much. Could using wd40 help? Or is that not recommended for this? I'm going to change the front brake pads in a week or so they feel ok for the time being.

Good advise thanks mate

Hi all Just been out on my rs 125 after riding for about 40 mins i got near home slowing down at some traffic lights then i heard quiet a bit of sqeeking from either the back shock or the front forks? Could this be dangerous? The guy at the mot shop said i need my front brake pad replacing soon so it could be that? If you found you're bike to be doing these noises would you carry on riding? Or could it be serious do you think? Thanks

Sorted.... Bought for £32

Thanks mate that's exacley what I'll try tomorrow

I'll have to try and make a new slot in the screw now as It's vertually rounded off. I'll get to it tommorrow hopefully theres still a bit of play in it so i can get some grip to turn the screw. Here's hopeing anyway :S

What do you mean snap the thing stu?

Well me dad's been using a screw driver and hammer on it to try n get it moving but seriously it's not coming out of that dang hole. What a serious pain in the ass this bag of spuds bikes turning out to be I feel like tossing the sack of shit in a river. I can't get the screw that's already in it stu to move mate. It won't budge at all.

I'll be in the shed a long time using that stuff

Been trying that for the last 4-5 hours voodoo, still won't budge mate. Any other ideas please anybody?

Hello Problem after problem here. I Just had a look at the carb on my rs 125 and was going to try and adjust the mixture screw to solve my stalling probs. I tryed adjusting it but the the screw is corroded and i can't get it moving at all. If i keep trying i will just end up rounding the screrw off, has anyone got any hints or tips on how to try and get it moving please? I've tryed spraying a bit of wd40 on the screw but nothing Looks like i might have to buy a new one at this rate so any tips whatsoever will be great. Thanks.

Hello I need to know what is the origianal setting for an rs 125 mixtuer screw setting on the carb so i can adjust correctly as I've been having lots of cut out problems which to everything I've read and witnessed says that it is the mixture screw setting on the carb. It's an aprilia rs 125 2001 model so if anyone can help get the origianal setting of the mixture screw and the recommended setting I'll be very grateful to finnally get this bike on the road Smile Thanks

Thanks for this Iain Booked marked it mate thanks

Anyone got any info on this please i need help asap?
