Aprilia RS125 2010 Spain's no.1

[pedrobatista10]

@Calum i like the originals for 2010 model. But i think they are too big, thats why i bought these ones, smaller and “carbon” and will look good with tyga carbon parts i will add. For example, on my dtx i dont even use turn signals.

[Calum]

@pedrobatista10 I bought some "Red" ones for my DT, but you can tell the difference in quality between these cheap chinese ones I bought, and the carbon fibre that's on it. And I can't help feel the same for these. You'll have high quality carbon fibre parts and these may offset it.

But won't hurt to see what they're like. And it's your bike, keep us posted.

I had similar one's on my DTR, they were not a perfect match with the other parts which I carbon wrapped, but they looked fine and you didn't really notice the difference. It's only really noticeable when there side_by_side or against each other.

[pedrobatista10]

Yes, i know this is cheap material, but i dont want to spend cash on turn lights on a reputable brand. This enough for me. If they stop working i dont care. Only 11€ wasted.

Thank you so much for your feedback and help. Your bike is my inspiration ️️

@pedrobatista10 If you have issues with the indicators not working properly as there LED's, this thread has a ton of info on how to resolve problems;

@pedrobatista10 Yeah, just to be clear, I ain't knocking by no means. I'm just speaking from experience, I am a little disappointed I binned the OEM turn signals on my DT.

But I think turn signals are really important. And I happen to be slightly biased on the Spains No 1 as I sold my Spains No1 to get my DT!

And I ADORED my Spains No 1

[pedrobatista10]

spain's no 1 for me its the prettiest of all rs 125. i prefer with no.48 instead of mini with no.1.
but both are amazing

if i get a rs 250 my project will be spains no.1 stickers too

[pedrobatista10]

@NINJA thank you sir! appreciate your help

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 Your welcome bud, so is Spain's No1 a race team or model or something? Give us some background into that please.

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 LOL Well I just googled this, so now I am wiser;

@NINJA im not the best guy to reply to your question, but i think this decal kit was to celebrate jorge lorenzo championship.

but @Calum should know better then me the meaning. i only know its about jorge lorenzo

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 See above, I think I beat you too it. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :face_with_tears_of_joy:

[pedrobatista10]

@NINJA i already seen that before

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 COOL I hadn't so it was informative to me!!!

[Calum]

@NINJA Yeah it's just a Rotax 122 with a Race Replica Graphics set.

I was going to get another Spains No 1, but fell in love with Max Biaggi's race replica which is why I went with that design in the end.

[NINJA]

@Calum No engine upgrades from the race team then???

[Calum]

@NINJA No, just graphics. The later generation RS 125's were EFI.

[NINJA]

@Calum EFI now that is interesting, it still used a carb alongside the EFI I gather. So was this just a means to restrict RPM's for Euro3 emissions or an upgrade to the fuel system for MORE POWER!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[NINJA]

@NINJA Nevermind I found the answer;

In 2008, the bike's electronics were changed froml Nippon-Denso to Piaggio/EFI Technology electronics, most notably the new ECU to meet the more stringent EURO3 Emissions standards. The bike has also been fitted with a vacuum fuel tap on the tank and a new Dell'orto 28 mm VHST carburettor that features the vacuum pipe extension.

@NINJA Yeah, I was just winding you up.

Genuinely though, the CDI can be used in conjunction with a TPS though. The Zeeltronic allows for a TPS to be used to finely tune the ignition.

I remember getting all excited way back when. The same age Aprilia SR50 Scooter was genuinely EFI, so when I saw the RS was as well I thought it would be the same technology.
