hmmmmm, his installment finish in june, and he only selling me in july, so....
he was my PC in army, fren fren one so shouldn;t be that bad...

i know that sure got couple of things
or maybe more than a couple,,,, that need servicing,

but juz wondering how much more roughly would it cost to redo the bike,
for me the bike if can ride can liao, no need to chiong one

are the parts for aprilia really so darn EXPENSIVE???

and How much for overhaul??

Aprilia Rider SG

400 bucks can get lah.
u sell the fairings, the USD forks, the rims already cover te cost liao.

still got the rectifier, and other other small parts.

i think still wu hua.

the parts are REALLY THAT DARN Ex.

better nothing happen under your ownership.

if spoil rather u scrap bike and sell parts than to fix it and get it up and going again.

buy bike 400, repair bike 4000. dosent make sense

totalduh SG

U know what are the (and estimated costs) parts tht frequently need repair or servicing??

u cant find out prices by sitting down on your computer touring around in the cyberworld.

Get up and look for it in the REAL WORLD.

where spoil depends on each bike and how each owner treats it.

some ppl heng heng managed to buy a one that is in good condition .

others not so heng. and u knoe wad happens lah.

bottomline: u treat ur bike like fuck, ur bike will treat u back like fuck.
