Don't add the 2t oil,you either have a separate oil feed for bike or you pre mix any extra oil will cause problems.

It might be best to ask what he meant by " a little oil" does your bike have a temp gauge?

Yesterday, I went to garage and swapped the Giannelli silencer and also did cut out the Malossi air filter, using old filter as template. In this video, if only the old Giannelli silencer uninstall and the new silencer install. I had to do that work fast, because the Gopro Hero 11 Black batteries, were new and had low charge. I did manage to record the video tho.
Future plans: make a luggage rack for side bags and etc.

Yesterday, I went to garage, to measure some stuff on my Aprilia. Plan is to take off the rear foot stands and from that mounting place, build an luggage rack. This rack is for 2 removable luggage case (one left side and one right), and maybe one on top. After I got my measurements, I noticed an oil spot on the ground. The left front shock was leaking oil. So looks like the bike is going back to dealership for repairs.  |

Are you going for the aluminium ones? Full on adventure spec? I will use plastic ones. The rack will be steel 20x25mm (thickness 1.5mm) for mounting to foot peg location and 18mm round tubes for the rack (thickness 2mm). I might use bolts to mount the cases to separate frame, and that with bolts to the rack. The cases cost about 2x 50€. |

Today did arrive the one part of the luggage rack - The Stella moped luggage rack, that I´m gonna re-enginer to fit my Aprilia. And also I will add case fitting racks to the luggage rack build. I decided to use 2 short 25x20 square tubing for mounting the rack to the existing leg stand place, and 18mm round tubing with thickness 2mm for all other parts of the rack. Maybe some 20mm or 25mm iron bar, with 2mm thickness too.   |

I did use the Heidenau K66 M+S tires on my Baotian BT50QT-9D. And they did work quite goon on try and wet roads. I think, when I use those tires on my Aprilia, I might loose bit of speed. However, when I use the Heidenau K80 tires on my Aprilia, they are similar, like the Michelin Pilot Street ones, I have right now on my bike. I wish, that I could buy both tires and test them, but then I would need second set of wheels, brake discs and rear sprocket. I did draw an rough sketch about few plans to the rear of the bike (the rack and shorty license plate holder). I did think about dual exhaust too (one muffler each side), but maybe that is not worth it? But it could look cool tho. You guys can throw ideas my way (what could look cool and useful). what I could still make to my bike, by customizing it? Pic of my rack and plate mount ideas:  |

Today after work, I went to garage and started working on my luggage rack. When I test fitted the square tubing, I noticed that I had made a mistake with the measurements I needed. Well, I had short piece of that right square tubing, so I found an solution. I did weld the brought square tubing inside of the right one - problem solved. Also drilled holes for mounting it to the place of rear foot pegs, and when the width was right, I welded round tubing top of the square tubing. Test fitted the Stella rack too. I need to bend the mounting frame little bit back, because it is against my tailbone. If I leave it like this, like it is right now, it will be very uncomfortable to ride the bike. Now I have to find an solution, how Im gonna bend the mounting frame. One option is to buy some L shape metal and use those and the wise, to bend the frame. I recorded a video too, with my GoPro 11. That will come out in few days.    |
