Hey guys, it’s Jon from Inline Performance Magazine bringing you the update on the Aprilia SR50. Today’s goal is to install the new water cooler grille and the new throttle that arrived in the mail today.

If you can recall from the last video, you could remember that we bought a new throttle grip to “fix” the broken throttle, with inconclusive results as it was the throttle itself that was broken. Also as promised, we, the staff, at IPM are slowly beginning to lessen focus on the vehicle’s performance and more on the scooter’s cosmetics. We recently sourced a red Aprilia Racing Water Cooler Grille to substitute the bland OEM gray grille.

We rationalized that the bar ends were made not to rub directly against the throttle grip itself, giving the grip more leeway to move smoothly.

However, the new water cooler grille was installed successfully, and it looks great! Tune in next time for more cosmetic upgrades! Meanwhile, go to Aprilia Boards for the latest in Aprilia information.

Hey guys, Jon here from Inline Performance Magazine, bringing you the latest in novice riding.

Last week, the staff at IPM was helping me experiment with anti-vibration bar ends. We discovered that the throttle rubber grip was broken off by the previous owner so that it couldn’t be installed. This week, when the new grip came in from Aprilia, we discovered that not only was the rubber handle damaged, but the throttle bar itself was chipped off! However, to complete the objective, we still put the bar end on the throttle.

Also, the windshield was hanging off its edge due to an accident from the previous owner. So, after receiving the new materials for the windshield, we attached the windscreen to the scooter. While doing so, we had a startling enlightenment, the odometer screen and the panel fairing did not have to be removed! Instead, we could have just inserted the bolts in from the front.

That’s all for now! Tune in next time, and we’ll get into some really interesting stuff, such as actually working on the cosmetic aspects of my scooter!

Hi guys, It’s Paul here today with Inline Performance Magazine. I’m here with Jon today to finally get the center stand issue on the Aprilia SR50 resolved.

All the parts finally arrived from Italy today, so we’re going to show you how we installed them. Check out the video.

So, now that we can take the SR50 out and about, and be able to park it, we can finally get to making it better looking and properly testing out the aftermarket parts. Stay tuned!

Hey guys, it’s Jon again from Inline Performance Magazine, bringing you the latest in novice riding.

While the 2000 Aprilia SR50 is still street legal, rides with two-stroke engines have been diminishing in the streets due to stricter DoT regulations. As the recession of this type goes, the harder it is to find help on how to even fuel the engine or even get the materials!

Online, there are numerous statistics on gas to oil ratio (32:1, 40:1, or 50:1), but my scooter comes with a pre-mixer, so there are separate slots for the two-stroke oil (or synthetic oil) and the gasoline. Since you don’t need to premix the gasoline and the oil, what you can just do is top off both compartments and it should be running proportionally at all times!

That’s all for now! Tune in next time, and we’ll get into some really interesting stuff, such as actually working on the cosmetics of my scooter!

Hi guys, this is Paul here to show you another modification on the Aprilia SR50. We were able to source a pair of factory bar end anti vibration weights from Aprilia. Check them out.

Stay tuned till next time! In the meantime, check out Aprilia Boards for more information!
