[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.

[NINJA]

@Calum I was super excited initially thinking mmmmmmmmmmm now that would be an awesome upgrade. I was thinking along the lines of KTM's TPI system and how cool it would be to add it to my MX. Then I read that article and was well deflated. :pouting_face: :pouting_face: :pouting_face:

I do however have an airbox upgrade to share soon, plus I now have the larger 34mm carb and Carbon reeds. So there should be an improvement there??? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[Calum]

@NINJA As I say, 2007 aprilia sr50 was EFI

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 How sweet does this sound;

@Calum which brand of sprockets you bought for your 415 chain? the renthal ones at pjme they are compatible with 415?

[Calum]

@pedrobatista10 I don't remember, sorry. I didn't get them from PJME.

hi guys

my bike is not finished yet, unfortunately. but i may have a new deal with a RS 125 2010 with 15.000km, that had an accident, the right side fairing repair and front. and some other small things.

some photos:

here left side looks good!

the good things in my favour, i just need to buy right side fairings and frontal and paint all with the replica i want. because the rest of the material i have spares from my spain's.

what you guys think of this? my plan is to fix the bike and sell 1 of them.

thanks!

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 The new bike looks smart and the damage is easily repairable, hopefully you got it for a good price and can fix her then sell it on for a profit???
