The unknown light on your gauge cluster is your side-stand / kick-stand warning light. It should only be on when your side-stand is down. If it stays on when the stand is up, the sensor at the side-stand pivot is faulty and must be replaced.

[@galenwolffit]

Yup my Moto Guzzi has the same thing. It's a weird looking light, but once you realize what it is, it makes sense. Sort of.

[@TheFlyBullet]

'sensor' is kind of a big word for the floppy switch that is on there 😄

You made me remember my school days.. i used to wakeup early and get ready for school 1 hour early. And ride my 125 cbf, hard around the town and sometimes to the Neighbouring town and back. . Feeling the that cold morning wind and early morning sunshine and empty roads . . . . Those were the days . . . And entering the school where nobody ever had idea how thrilling my mornings were. . .

[@OlivierWengerf28]

The 1992 Aprilia RS125 Extrema was my first bike and I loved every km I rode on it. This was also the most expensive bike I ever owned, as it would break down all the time and needed no end of TLC to keep it happy. I ended up selling it after installing the 6th (!) piston and chamber, as it just broke my bank account at the time. But when it was working it was the fastest thing on the road and by far the coolest looking motorcycle out there

[@venusunusis]

4:58 that's because old bikes with carbs could overflow with fuel, so you close the choke, turn the kill switch on "off", open the throttle at full and turn the ignition for a couple of seconds. this will allow you to take care of the overflowed fuel, making it easier to turn on after (just make sure you turn the kill switch back on positon "on").

[@OilPilled]

The yellow light at 9:18 is the kickstand warning light, should illuminate when the stand is down and turn off when its up. My 2020 Tuono Factory has one, super cool to see Aprilia was doing this back then!

[@ApriliaRSA250]

It even looks like a kickstand ;) But yeah maybe I am already familiar with it from my '17 Tuono as well.

[@MirrorSurfer]

[@KuroSanArts]

One of my favourite bikes, even if it did blow up every other week! Sounds like yours is still all restricted if it feels that underpowered. I had the 3rd gen model, but put the larger carb on it as well as adding the powervalve and derestricted ECU and it was a rocketship! Hit 8k and that PV kicks in and it just makes you cackle like a madman. The one I always really wanted was the RS250, but those things are rare as hens teeth here.

[@doumi4570]

HEY HEY HEY, you need to take this advice seriously (i am 2 stroke rider). NEVER use oilmaster, that where you put your Motul 710, instead make premix right into gas, it is longer but WAY MORE safer, oilmasters are faulty AF, also on internet find you mix ratio (i got 1:50), so basicly, wehn you are at gas station and u fill up your gass tank also add Motul 710 into it, also u dont need to warm up, but be easy on gas, shift everytime before you hit powerband, around 65*C you can ride to limiter

[@NereidPL]

so nostalgic - owned a NSR125 years ago, incredible machines, mine did 20k km between 'rebuilds'. And rebuilds themselvs are a 4 hour job max Your father did you right with that advice, the amount of money I've spent on gas oil and parts would easily cover buying two 4 strokes and riding the soul out of them :) Great vid!

[@nicholasrobinson2915]

Orange dash light is the side stand bud, I blanked mine off on my rs125 because if the stand is down the bike is not meant to start, stand up the light goes off and will start, not ideal when you need to warm the bike up while having a coffee before a lekker skit.

[@ChaosCauses]

Haha thanks, mate. I figured it out eventually.

[@7starsfear]

I live on the border with Italy (Slovenia) these machines are still very common. Even i as a teenager had a two-stroke RX125 and i am an Aprilia owner even today. I still remember warming it up every day before going to school, it was an incredible experience for a 16yo. Happy times indeed.

[@moo5e930]

[@T.T.G.]

I know I bought your parts of your dad

[@keksimus1355]

It was such a sweet bike to ride as a 16 year old 20 years ago! Virtually no power under 8k RPM but full 30hp over 8k RPM would be due to missing or stuck open variable exhaust valve. Most 2-stroke bikes had a system like that to have usable power in low RPM (over 4-5k maybe) but still get the maximum power in high RPM. The valve would seize quite easily and it was such a pain to clean / replace the parts. I remember some guys just not installing the variable exhaust valve system at all and running their 2 stroke bikes with a de-restricted exhaust always at high RPM and not caring about the missing power at low RPM.

[@leba4651]

Hahaha, the "cranking" with kill switch on is such Italian thing :D I bought super cheap Cagiva Mito SP525 which did the same thing

[@stuartburton1167]

Had a lot of stink wheels over the years. My last was a Suzuki RG500 with a Stan Stevens tuning kit on it. I bought it as a track day bike but the temptation to have a road ride was too great and I dropped it on some gravel. It flipped twice and destroyed all the plastic all the four exhausts and the engine cases were scuffed. Luckily a guy bought it for the frame and wheels and it only cost me all the money I had

[@AlanFogartyIRL]

Mate what a video!! as a 16 yr old unrestricted RS125 ridder you nailed the experience! that light on the left is the kick stand warning light which doesn't kill the engine when you drive away with it down. It only comes on once though cause driving away with the stand down breaks the switch ; ) i really hope enough of these bikes survive. would love to revisit them someday. I'll never forget finding the first stage of the power valve. i used to short shift when i bought it first...until one day coming over the crest of a hill and the revs crept into the power valve range - i'll never forget that shove!!

Here in the Texas, you can ride a 250cc at 15, when you get your license at 16, you can get whatever you want. However, I like small bikes and would have loved some of these small 2-strokes. I used to play Tourist Trophy just because I couldn't get anything like that here.

[@Theguyunderyourbed22]

When I was a teenager, my dream bike was the Yamaha TZR. Little did I know, I was living through what would be the final years for two strokes. In fact I was already past them but not by that much that you didn't still see many of them around. Also the TZR was already super rare but the RS wasn't. But much like you my dad steered me away and I ended up getting a CBR125R too. It was a great little bike, and I came to appreciate that long after I had gone on to bigger and better stuff, but the truth is that I'd never go back to it, or anything like it. I still have not managed to get my hands on a proper 2 stroke 125cc rocket so this video really speaks to me.

[@konradgasior8259]

I had one of these when I was 16 years old. Riding it for the first time was the best feeling ever. No other motorcycle has given me so much joy. Even despite the fact that I had seized the engine three times. Probably there was some problem with my oil dispenser. I remember that feeling when I reached hgh RPM and exhaust valve opened for the first time. For me back then it was a feeling from another planet. I was literally scared of that acceleration at the beginning. It felt so much faster than my previous aprilia RS 50 and that boring CBF 125 from driving school. Those were good times. I only regret that I lived 100m from my school so I didn't ride there xD. In my coutry (Poland) only very rych kids could lay their hands on it and any other 125cc motorcycle, because used one costed about three average monthly salaries which was pretty sad.

[@teaholiq]

well, if you want to bleed your rear brake caliper properly, you need to demount it and turn it upside down, otherwise air will be stucked in the highest part of the caliper and that probably happend in you case, that's why brake lever is soft sometimes

[@JwpGaming]

I always liked the Cagiva Mito better. The old ones that had like a bit over 30hp. Rode one once. Something that light going that fast on a highway is pretty scary. and the fact that it looked like an old ducati charmed me and still does. and I also had a CBR, the older, 2006 model, that is not nearly as stable on high speeds as the 2011- JC50. but it was a good bike, if a little small.

I bought my RS125 new in 1993. I still have it! Looks like most of the issues you have had are due to previous owners.

I had an RS50. Dreamt about a 125 for a year... was split between the RS, Mito, and NSR. I really preferred the two Italian bikes but was talked into the Honda for better reliability. I wrote off the NSR within a months, then 6 months later got myself a Mito and loved it - even though it had electrical woes! As a teenager mad about the lightweight and extra power combo of 2-stroke bikes, I was also drawn to the 250s. I still haven't ever ridden an RS 125... my don't ride/buy your hero moment came when I bought myself an RS250. It would've been fine if it was my only bike, and I jumped straight from my Mito to the 250... but I had a CBR400 and come to appreciate that 4-strokes are less of a faff on the road. Plus the razor sharp, quick, flighty handling of the lightweight 250 would be more at home on a racetrack.

I always use olive oil for getting grease and oily dirt off my hands. Works better than commercial hand cleaner, it is non toxic, and cleans off easily with soapy water.

Tempgauge is easy fix probably , look at the connector on the cilinderhead. Clean it and make it tighter
