guys, for aprilia, what's the best way to save petrol? By going very fast or going very slow? Opening throttle all the way or open and close?
Some ppl say that if u go very fast, the valve open then dun need so much petrol. But some say, go very fast open throttle alot also eat alot of petrol.
most 2 strokers work the same way.. it's not about speed, but rpm. you can drag all the way on gear 1 until your valve opens, but you won't exceed 80km/h.
for aprilias with the fragile valve, it's recommended that you open the valve regularly, even at the expense of higher consumption. top up a bit more often, but at least save the money of getting a new valve.
oh yes and fully-syn all the way ya? but that means the valve opening habit must be adhered to strictly as well...
