Posted: 16:26 - 18 May 2007 Post subject: Simple Question ... Well I Hope So ... |
|
|
Right I have an (hopefully) Easy and Quick question for you bunch a ... erm ... *cough* ... bikers
Anyways, some may be aware my engine blew up in my Aprilia Pegaso 125 (Rotax 123), so in went a Rotax 123 from an RS125 of a 2 year younger bike.
Basically my rev range is 10.5k Redline, then goes up to 12.5k to end of Redline. Now the RS125 i beleive has a 12.5k Redline then goes to 14.5k, or am i wrong already?
Basically when i hit my redline of 10.5k, have i got another 2k to play with before "really" hitting the red line?
Or is my revometer (cant think of right name) geared to read say the 12k the engine is doing as 10k on my revometer?
Or perhaps the stock Pegaso 125 Rotax 123 was geared slightly different to only use 10k and 12k at it's limit?
Basically im wondering say i hit 1k into red, so 11k, that really is only 11k, or its tecnichally 13k if you understand me.
Purly for interest reasons and possibly a little more fun once in a blue moon .
Cheers all,

a tacho will only display what its reving, it can't lie (unless its a mechanical tacho with the wrong worm gear)
so if you have a rs125 engine and it redlines at 12.5krpm thats what it'll redline at no matter what bike its in
post a pic of your bike, ididnt know they made a pegasso 125,
have you derestricted it as well ____________________ the humans are dead

hmmmz:
I'll get some pics up in a mo, just witnessed my brother crash outside my wondow in his cage so cant remember where the pics are right now lol (dont worry just a bent cage) ... and yes it's de-restricted with full arrow system on too
cagiva:
I get power up in my red line and a pretty heafty amount too and yes it does kick in at 7.5k which is the useual but now i have a lot of power sitting there ...
I'm just curious to know if my red-zone is really useable power and basically my red-zone would be once my tacho ends ...
Thanks all,

Is there any way i can test my red zone really is my red zone or if it's useable revvs instead of being "Emergency Revvs" ?
If so, i have a lot more running that i thought ... ____________________ 2007 Kawasaki ZX10R :: 1998 Kawasaki ZX-9R - SOLD

Ah bugger, so no more revvs for me to play with ...
I will admit now that today for one time only i took her to 11k down to a complete **** in a V8 powered off-road cage who was some what disapointed by their vehicle ...
Anyway, the reason is that i was at 11k without knowing it as once in the power it rocketed and even at 11k it relly felt like it had some punch left, my PV is working where it should be but i seem to be getting some mysterious power up there.
Also noticed this engine sounds very different to the old one, almost sounds like a supercharger kinda hiss in low revvs and sounds like there enough belt comming out the exhaust to send me verticle and vibrates like mad when in higher revvs ... It feels and sounds quite different to the old engine.
Anyway, that wont be happening again especially whilst finishing the run-in, thanks for all your help everyone, has been quite an ineresting theory ...
Now if only i can get my hands on a Rolling RS125, i think this is a little more grunty than most, lol ...

Quote: | So if you dont mind me asking "WHY DID YOU BUY IT"
The fact that its an import dont help you either, especialy when looking for parts (as you have found out).
Perhaps with this one you might take it easy, have you checked out your new engine before fitting it?
Last thing you want is for the same thing to happen again!
Wish you all the best, i think you might need it! |
I bought it as i love it ... Basically, looking at all the useual 125 suspects like the mito, rs125 etc, but i wanted to be different, went to this old garage where these italien blokes imported bikes and sitting all on it's tod in a corner looking fairy miserable was this.
Sat on it and loved it, it's big it's bulky it has decent power for it's size saying the the 600cc frame (always thought it was the 650cc frame, but its the older 600cc frame) and it was different and i like to having something un-useual
Plus a year ago having just turned 17 i wanted something ASAP and this was a great find. To a certain extent i have thoroughly enjoyed working on it and getting it back to a good standard, i know so much more than i did a year ago when i bought her.
As to parts it's not really that difficult, only ever really needed engine parts and as it's the old rs125 engine/af1 engine/lots of 125cc aprilia engine , parts for that are easy.
Some parts have been more difficult to get but only a matter of a maximum of 2 weeks.
When i got the engine i checked it out, found it needed new top end which was fitted and it feels a decent bottom end.
As to luck i think im ok for now, im happy it seems happy so as long as it gets me through the next 2 - 4 months i'm happy even more as the full test is going to happen around July then bigger bike hunting will resume, possibly the 650cc Pegaso
Anyway, thanks for everyone's time.
