Aprila Sportcity Cube 125

First time i've come across your bike pics Jo, very nice. Apart from those stars, you seem to have a flair for this type of thing

 

haha yeah the Stars are coming off, I got Yellow/Red Monster Energy Drink ones coming ,
the Cylinder, Lever and Cap looks kool on the Bike aswell.. just going to try and reposition the Speedo once the Brakes are sorted, and want plain Master Cylinder Clamps (these have that centre whole and that little extra bit on the left.

 

Agree on the clamp issue, just kinda looks wrong innit, be careful when moving things around on the bars, can easily leave unintended scratch marks on the bars where whatever it is you're moving used to be.
Might be an idea before you put those "common" monster energy stickers on, ask the places you bought all this gear off if they have any of the Stage6 or TNT or Doppler or STR8 stickers going, or if they can get hold of some for you.
Just found this:

Ped parts

 

Yeah I seen the Stage6 ones etc, id like to keep with the colours though, and the Monster ones look really good (did a mockup on photostop with then on my bike), when they get here i'll hold them on and have a look anyway, if they dont look good etc then i'll get the Stage6 ones, I dont like the Bikes with loads of different ones on, just looks abit messy I think :-/ but yeah Breaks to sort first!

 

I had a graphics place in Southampton re-cut mine for the 1100. To my sizes as well. If you see graphics you like you can always ask somewhere who does that type of thing to copy them to your style, size and colour for you.
If i remember the set for mine was about £54 all in.

 

Still annoying when just the 1 light comes on (previous Chinese Bikes i've had have all on, all on high, or all off)

 

You got a decent alarm on this scoot?

 

Not on it at the moment...
I have 2 thick Wheel Chains which I take out with me as well as when its at home,
plus a wired alarm lock on my house wall which I put around it, if its messed with or cut the alarm goes off,
plus I have a alarmed disc brake lock aswell.

 

Got the cable covers on for the switch and brake electrics, instead of the red and yellow, kept it all black
need to get some proper mounts for that Doppler Cover asap!! the cable ties aint that good...

 

Taken today, got a new carbon Tax Disc holder though for when I Tax it again, the ones where you roll it up and put it in... shame those side Stickers wasnt a little bigger aswell.

 

Cleanest bloody scoot i've ever seen

 

Haha I wish, saying that the dry lube I used for it makes it look alot shinier aswell which is a bonus :-D but yeah... dont like dirty Bikes!

 

Wish i had the time to keep mine clean. It's one of the reasons i stay away from bikes like Harley's; all that chrome is very nice, looks beautiful, but i'm not going to spend two days cleaning it after a rain shower.

 

These are my 2 most recent pics....



At the moment the Aprilia rear Master Cylinder is on, which is the one the Garage sorted to pass the MOT, havent been able to see if the Aerox one will work yet (front one still does) so going to put the rear one on next week and take it to the Garage and get them to try and bleed it and see if it'll work, if they cant then i'll know it wont work full stop so will have to look for matching Cylinders again at a similar size as the Aerox, abit gutted if it wont work though as the Cylinder Caps and Levers go really well with the Bike! might get a Mirror with a chunkier mount aswell, for some reason that one just looks odd :-/ and shame those side Monster Decals weren't a little bigger but ah well...... oh and due to all the issues with the Brake, alot of Fluids managed to drip down to the footpanel which has taken some of the paint off so i've bought more Carbon Vinyl and might wrap those foot plates I had originall and see how they look.

 

Glad to hear that the rear brake is sorted now
Don't you wish you had done it sooner? And did they say what the cause was?

 

It isnt perfect though, going to put the Aerox Cylinder on tomorrow and see if it works, will take it to the Garage then and see if they can do it there way.... I did ask how they did it but they wouldnt tell me :-/ said 'it was there special way of bleeding', they said its probably due to the fact that its been vacuumed and pressure bled and normally bled etc and its caused thousands of small bubbles so said to let it all settle for awhile and leave it alone...... but yeah, really want to see if that Aerox one works once and for all so will try that, only put the original Aprilia one on as I knew that 100% worked and needed it sorted that day for the MOT, so yeah... fingers crossed.

 

Their 'special way of bleeding'????
Thats garage code for 'your a girl and wouldn't understand'

 

Well I told them everything i've done etc etc, they probably didnt want to tell me so I keep going back to them lol ah well, will see how I get on with this Aerox one.

 

Put the Aerox Cylinder on earlier, and its working the same as the Aprilia one :-D
Garage said to leave it awhile when I went there and to take it back and they'll do a free bleed, so happy days, Brake isnt 100% still but slows me down and stops me at a slow speed, obv not going to use just the back brake in wet weather so the front obv helps alot anyway so its ok at the moment, will just wait awhile now and then get them to do a good bleed and hopefully they'll be working perfecto

Repositioned the Bar aswell, well, pushed it back abit and i've positioned the Speedo between the gap in the Bar, took me awhile to find something to mount it with as my mount wasnt good for that position, but yeah... cable ties etc and its on there solid so yeah, Bars are all sorted, Brakes are sorted, I want to get the Xenon Bulbs and light strip for the front but had no reply in my Thread I made yet about it all so will wait for that... only other thing now is the front Calliper 'pin'? I had a problem with it awhile ago which I mentioned on here with it tapping all the time when the Wheel goes around, someone mentioned something to do with it but cant remember what, its basically just gets loose all the time and taps, I cant seem to find any bit to 'bend' slightly either so it goes into the slot more tight/secure.
