APRILIA DORSODURO 1200 REVIEW AND SPECIFICATION

This is APRILIA DORSODURO 1200 ,twin-cylinder fans needn’t fret, as the 1197cc Dorsoduro steps in to fill that void.


The Dorsoduro's new V-Twin packs the grunt we wished the 750 had.

APRILIA DORSODURO 1200 REVIEW AND SPECIFICATION
The 750cc Shiver and Dorsoduro are very appealing in their own right, yet performance from their three-quarter-liter V-Twins have been a little underwhelming. But after years of rumors about larger-displacement version of the same engine, Aprilia has finally delivered with the Dorsoduro 1200.


The Max Dorso has already been introduced in Europe, and our correspondent Tor Sagen brought back a glowing review you can read here. Although no lightweight (at a stated 457 lbs dry), the Dorso 12 comes to the party with a claimed 130 crankshaft horses to give it midrange grunt the 750 can’t approach. The big Dorso’s appeal is also expanded with high-end features like traction control and optional ABS.Engine and transmission Switch unitAprilia's profilation of this bike

“The Dorsoduro 1200 is all I ever wanted from the 750 that wasn’t there,” said Sagen after his ride. “The 1200 engine has got all that full richness I always look for in V-Twins. That sorted, the bike is now 100% pure fun.”

Just as intriguing, this new 1200cc V-Twin will surely find its way into other Aprilia models. We anticipate a Shiver 1200 to be unveiled during 2011, and it’s possible the new powerplant may find its way into a pseudo adventure-tourer like Ducati’s weird but successful Multistrada.

In our selection process for this list, we had some votes for two new versions of the ultra-desirable RSV4 sportbike.

Tips Merawat Knalpot Motor
Saturday, December 11, 2010

Labels: Otomotif

Selain sebagai penyalur gas sisa pembakaran, knalpot juga berfungsi untuk mendukung tampilan. Oleh karena itu, peranti ini juga memerlukan perawatan karena knalpot sangat rawan berkarat dan bocor sehingga menghasilkan suara lebih berisik atau keras yang mengikuti perputaran mesin.

Selain usia motor, karat pada knalpot terjadi karena perbedaan suhu antara di dalam dan di luar pipa knalpot. Jika di daerah pantai karena kandungan garam cukup tinggi di udara sekitar, maka kotoran yang menempel akan lumer dan mudah menimbulkan korosi.

Yang paling mudah terlihat adalah di bagian leher knalpot. Beberapa hal di bawah ini mungkin bisa membantu mengatasi masalah tersebut:




Knalpot Original
Untuk knalpot orisinal atau standar 4-Tak cenderung kering, maka panas yang dihasilkan bisa menyebabkan karat. Disarankan, memanaskan mesin jangan terlalu lama karena bisa membuat knalpot jadi kuning. Lalu, berikan oli secukupnya ke dalam lubang knalpot 2 bulan sekali.


Bagi yang sudah berkarat, segera bersihkan kotoran yang menempel di knalpot dengan ampelas atau sikat kawat. Atau dengan cara mengoleskan oli bekas pada leher knalpot, lalu hidupkan mesin cukup 2 menit agar oli menyerap. Lama-kelamaan kotoran akan mengelupas seiring mengeringnya oli yang kepanasan tadi.

Jangan kaget, bila timbul asap akibat pelumas yang diolesi menguap lantaran terkena panas. Untuk menghindari karat datang lagi, bisa disemprot antikarat dan sehabis mencuci sebaiknya segera dikeringkan atau sewaktu hujan cepat dibilas air bersih.


Knalpot Racing
Buat yang memasang knalpot racing, baik itu model chrome dan berbahan pelat, dibutuhkan perawatan khusus Karena tanpa disadari, produk aftermarket itu lebih cepat menguning atau berkarat ketimbang original.

Oleh karenanya, sebelum dipasang sebaiknya diolesin oli bekas dulu agar umur lebih panjang. Oleskan pelumas bekas tersebut dengan kain di bagian leher knalpot. Setelah itu, lanjutkan dengan memasang knalpot. Lalu, hidupkan mesin selama 2 menit, dan oli akan menguap akibat panas

Tips Merawat Motor
Friday, January 16, 2009

Labels: Otomotif

Dengan perawatan yang baik secara berkala, motor lama pun bisa tetap seperti baru. Inilah tips2 dalam merawat motor agar si roda dua ini tetap baik:

Cek Kondisi Oli
Oli mesin ini sangat penting peranannya untuk melumas komponen-komponen mesin, seperti stang seher, seher, dan ring seher, kruk as dan noken as atau stang klep. Jika keberadaan minyak pelumas sudah berwarna kehitam-hitaman atau kelenturan daya lumasnya berkurang, maka sebaiknya diganti. Ganti oli secara berkala dan gunakan sesuai dengan rekomendasi pabrikan.


Cek Kondisi Aki
Jangan biarkan air accu melewati batas maksimum dan minimum yang akibatnya bisa mempercepat kerusakan pada sel-sel accu. Tambahkan aki pada pagi hari.

Jangan biarkan baterai atau accu yang sudah mulai melemah, segeralah menggantinya, bukan hal baik jika anda tetap memaksa menggunakannya. Jika tetap dipaksakan kedua kutub positif dan negatif akan mengeluarkan korosi (serbuk putih) yang akan menjalar ke bagian kabel-kabel utama yang menghubungkan arus listrik ke saluran lampu, dinamo, atau bagian-bagian lainnya.

Jika memang motor anda mengalami hal tersebut, arus listrik yang dihantarkan baterai atau accu tidak sempurna akan menyebabkan kerusakan pada komponen dinamo, kontak mesin maupun switch lampu. Satu hal yang perlu diperhatikan jika accu sudah lemah atau tidak mampu di starter dan distarter, jangan memaksa mendorong sepeda motor untuk menghidupkannya sebab hanya akan merusak gigi transmisi.


Periksa Rantai dan Gir
Jangan biarkan rantai terlalu kendor, atau terlalu kencang. Terlalu kendor bisa membuat rantai copot dari girnya, sementara terlalu kencang bisa mengakibatkan putus rantai. Cek juga kondisi gir, jika sudah tajam segera ganti karena jika tidak rantai bisa tiba-tiba putus. Bahaya kan, kalo lagi ngebut tiba-tiba putus rantai?


Periksa Kabel Koil dan Busi
Perhatikan keberadaan kabel koil yang menghubungkan arus listrik ke busi. Cepat ganti kabel yang kelihatannya sudah cukup umur dan banyak terlihat keretakan dan pengerasan pada kabel. Jangan lupa perhatikan keberadaan busi karena busi sangat vital untuk kelancaran sebuah mesin kendaraan.


Perhatikan Selang Bensin
Selang bensin ke karburator juga merupakanm komponen yang layak diperhatikan. Jangan membiarkan kondisi selang bensin mengeras atau terjadi retakan-retakan, karena bagian dalam selang bisa jadi sudah tidak elastis dan mengakibatkan serbuk kotoran yang berasal dari selang terbawa ke karburator. Pada akhirnya akan terjadi penyumbatan suplai bensin dari tanki ke karburator sehingga mengganggu sistem pembakaran.



Panaskan Mesin paling lama 2 Menit
Panaskan mesin sebelum motor dijalankan, tak perlu lama-lama cukup 1-2 menit agar sirkulasi oli bisa melumasi seluruh bagian dalam mesin yang bergerak. Jangan terlalu lama memanaskan karena akan membuat pipa knalpot menguning selain itu Anda pasti tak mau buang-buang bensin khan?.


Periksa tekanan angin ban
Jangan terlalu keras dan juga jangan kurang karena bisa berakibat kembang ban motor rusak.


Gunakan Selalu Sparepart Asli
Lebih baik mahal sedikit, tapi puas dan tahan lama daripada memakai yang tidak asli, meski murah tapi tapi daya tahan kurang.


Cek Baut Bodi Secara Berkala
Mungkin kita sering tidak menyadari kalau baut bodi suka gampang kendor. Untuk memastikannya, cek secara berkala, tiap selesai cuci motor misalnya.

Ingat! Kalau mengencangkan bautnya jangan terlalu kenceng banget, nanti takutnya yang ada dudukan bautnya yang retak.

So tidak sulit bukan, asal anda rajin merawat motor dengan benar pasti motor kesayangan Anda senatiasa tampil prima.
