hahaha, friend, i know your bike no problem, no need like that
mah, hhahahaha
i went to do servicing wif a friend at abike shop 2 wks ago, had a
chat wif the boss there
we were comaparing the bearings in the SP 's engine, he told us
that inside the SP 's engine they r using normal bearings, whereas
there is a upgrade to speed bearings, the ratio of revolution of
normal bearings to speed bearings is 1:3,
however he turned to me n told me aprilia is already using speed
bearings, aprilia by rite is an racing bike, thats y all the parts
r expensive
thats y when an aprilia breaks down, u be replacing RACING PARTS
and not normal parts,
that explains the big big difference in price,
and if u r thinking of downgrading the racing parts to normal
parts, it would be impossible for majority, tats y alot pf pple
buay tahan , including me, ...
think about it...
