advice on running in aprilia rs 125?

[RSJames]

I have just had my aprilia rs 125 engine rebuilt as it blew on me. I need advice on how to run it in, ive been told to stick below 5k revs but it's hard to get going at that and pritty slow. I've been sticking below like 8k, 5.5k where possible is this ok or will it do it damage?

Don't bother, it's a shitty little 2 stroke ffs.

Sell it now before it blows up again and let some other schmuck worry about it.

Mine has the same engine (Rotax 122).
All I did was to vary the revs up to 6k for the first 100 miles then gradually increase them after that. It's done 700 miles and hasn't blown up

Was it a top end rebuild or a full one?

If it was a full one then you'll need to change the gearbox oil after about 200 miles.

I wouldn't worry so much with the revs, just keep a light load on the engine, don't let it labour up hills or leave it in a high gear etc.

Small dick Watchman?

Can't figure out why else you are having an ego trip because you have a cb500.

[Wave2k]

Child

Id rather the RS125 than a cb500 that would 'last 200,000 miles'.

More fun, looks better, even smells better.

Said the guy riding a GSXR1000

p.s thanks for the random negative rating, much appreciated

Wave, I ride a FZR600...

Sorry, but it is quicker, better looking and Yamaha .

My dick, it be growin'.



(The lol's at the expense of Watchman, you're rippin' up the roads with your cb500.. well jealous).

[GREENI3]

How am i on ego trip exactly?

Wave's the one giving it the 'big I am' for making that initial smug remark about a cb500.
All I was doing was replying to it; not boasting about riding a cb500 by any means.

[Eddie Hitler]

Righto!

I needn't reply to that last post !

[P.]

Use cheap non synthetic 2 stroke to run it in.

It will be slow, its only 500 odd miles.

5k for 300 miles, 6k for the next 200 miles, increase revs above this distance until 1000 miles then go ragging.

On an RS125

Due to its state of tune its advisable to only use fully synth 2T.

Not sure if you can get Castrol TTS anymore, but thats what everyone was using when i had mine in 2003

If you can't appreciate a small capacity two stroke, then you're only after a two wheeled car, which means you've completely missed the awesomeness of motorcycling.

Halfrauds do the TTS, but it's csalled racing and is ina GOLD go faster bottle.

Opie oils do good prices, esp if you buy bulk / use forum discount, and or wait for FREE del - and their 15% off weekends.

I use rock oil, only caus it's supposed to good, my mechanic sells it, and he does it for about 11 quid.

Disagree to a point, what you've said can and does happen with them, but if i of all spanners can keep one happy, at 150 psi at 8000 miles then others can.

Mines suits my needs, but would not like to use it for commuting for sure ..

In fact - i do about 40 miles a week est.

Blimey that TTS replacement is £15.99 at halfords.

TTS used to cost me £10.50 there 9 years ago.

Flashy unreliable Italian bikes have always been my favourite kind of bikes too.

I want another Duke

It was only about 13 quid 6 months or so ago .... which made it ok as a pick up item
