lo lads, someone told me there is some baffle or summat in the exhaust pipe which is a restrictor (even though the bike is about 10bhp and the legal limit is 14bhp?) i just wanna squeeze out 14bhp (or the legal) outta my cityfly so i can get upto 70!

is it a good idea to job the exhast pipe off and start dismantleing it and taking random things out?

didnt fancy spending £3k+ on a non thrashed good one, and the £1k insurance wasnt too inviting either..... also aprillias are shit - i would have gone for an NSR but the insurance was a nightmare.

try changing the clutch on it and tightening the springs..?
i had a PS125i on loan for a month and i found its clutch was wank on accelerating, but on cruising it wasnt far bad getting 65-70 on flat road with no wind...

If the Earth is the size of a pea in Britain, then the Sun is a beachball 50m away, Pluto is 4km away, and the next nearest star is in Tokyo. Now shrink Pluto's orbit into a coffee cup, then our Milky Way Galaxy fills North America

The clue is in the name CITYFLY.

I had one of these about 10 years ago and it was perfect for commuting into central London from out St Albans way. Tall riding position, good acceleration away from the lights, and decent fuel economy. I never got much above 40 due to the amount of traffic, so riding the Fireblade I also owned at the time for the commute was fairly pointless.

However, I do believe there is a cone shaped restrictor just inside the exhaust pipe near the header which falls out easily, athough I never tried it and doubt you'd get much in terms of performance messing about with it. Bear in mind if you DO mess about with it, and make a horlicks of it, you might not get much from a potential future buyer who'd want the bike for the same reason I owned one.

 I'd leave it alone and wait for a bigger bike.




You have the right to free speech.........provided your not dumb enough to actually try it

ive just taken the exhaust off one and then cut it open in three places, removed the baffles and then welded it back together and it made a big difference, also remove the airbox for a k&n style filter,

70 is achievable!!!!!

To be fair, if my CLR125 can achieve 65 on a flat with no wind, is it really worth dismantling the exhaust and potentially screwing the whole job up just for an extra 5mph?

Sheepy's moved on since he started this thread. was it really almost 8 years ago? Doesn't time fly?
