Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Done second service yesterday. Brakes have become responsive now. Even back one they calibrated for good response. I had sound from back brake earlier which is gone now. But front brake is giving sound now. Engine tuning has made it somewhat good now, I can feel it has become more refined from sound.

Since I usually travel in Highways without any street lights, it will very difficult to drive and I was thinking of replacing the stock bulbs which is not throwing much light.

I had two options 1. Philips Crystal Vision or 2. Osram Night Racer. I was roaming all over to many shops in chennai to find a genuine product. However I am not able to find it GP Road as well.

Finally ordered two HS1 Philips Crystal Vision 35W in Amazon and go the Genuine ones.

Replaced the stock one with Philips Crystal Vision and now the visibility is better than stock ones. But you cannot expect like HID. The color of lights are white but it is not pure white like you see in HID or CFL lights in home.

The throw is light is also dependent upon the correct position in which the headlamps are adjusted. I had to open and close the front apron 2 times to adjust headlamps. Keeping the headlamps position in middle will provide better throw.

Also I was thinking of replacing the pilot lamps to Philips LED W5W. Since it is too costly i replaced it will Philips Blue Vision W5W.

The whole set up of replacing all the three lights 2 headlamps and 1 pilot lamp cost me aroud Rs 1000/-

Below are the pics:

Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Just a note of caution here w.r.t to alloy wheels. When you mentioned about the "thud" sound emanating from the front end, coupled with potholes, it is one tricky concoction. Most alloys of cars, bikes bend when the alloys are forced to have an impact at a point, this concentrates the stress at a point and tends to allow to crack, or deform. Steel rims on the other handle such cases well, as they are comparatively stronger than alloy and resist bends well. Plus, the good news is even if they are bent, they don't crack per se as alloy in worst case. That's why your Dio felt more reassuring than the Aprilia. Any alloy wheel is a potential death trap for a pothole and with speed it only worsens. Reducing speed is the key.

Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Yes. Interestingly my brother's TVS Jupiter too has alloys but comes shod with high profile tires. That does help a lot in city. I was wondering where to get 14 inch high profile tires. I found few on superbikestore.in but there cost is prohibitive (more than Rs 10k for one tire).

Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences

If you have installed 55W bulb definitely the reflectors will melt due to heat produced by high watt consumption.

Hence i installed 35W as mentioned in the manual. But the Crystal Vision provides better light throw than the stock ones.

Its heat is not impacting the reflectors. I had a 2 hours night drive as well, but still no impact.

Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Is it the same case with Improperly made speed brakers where bike lands as an impact on hard surface in speed?

Re: Aprilia SR 150 Stickers removed

Remove the footboard decal too. Looks great. I too intend to do so but wondering how to proceed. Please enlighten us. Don't want to have patchy leftover stickers.

Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Made my first tour of Pune-Mumbai-Pune overnight on SR150.
Bike ran or I should say raced without any problem. I could run over 100km/hr for several times.
Cornering on circular turns was like a breze, tyers do wonderful job.
Bike must be happy that it got chance to breath upto its potential for first time.
Sitting for three hours is ok, leaves pain but disappears over night in rest.
For such highway ride it gave me average of 37km/ltr, highest till now.
Only problem i faced is hidden and suddenly appearing potholes .
Overall I am very happy with performance.

Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences

Hey guys ,

I am new to xbhp and this is my first post . I'm one of the first owners of the sr150 in my city (IE hyd) I have attached a photo of my bike as well, the front stickers have been removed.

I've added front fork stickers ordered through ebay and also changed parking and number plate lights to white LEDs.

The accesories from the company I've recieved is the
Foot mat ( very well screwed in)
side stand ( one month late)
Usb charger in boot ( recieved it 3days ago )

The bike has covered 1700kms and is performing like a beauty . The fun of this vehicle is outright performance.

I had the chance to also ride the vehicle on the track whose images I shall share as well

Hey Akshay.

Congratulations and welcome to the group

Nice to see you track accelerating too.

Looking forward to more experiences.

PS., would be great if you could throw light on pricing, characteristics and availability of the matting and other accessories available. I'm from Goa and accessories over here are still just a brochure item.

Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences

The accessories were a pain to get hold of , this came after months of pestering them .

The Mat is a rubber pressed piece .The 4 floor bolts screws are removed the mat is placed and has the corresponding holes for the screws so it's all held in place beautifully.

Price -500 rs
The USB on the other hand was a very easy fix . There's a provisional port in the battery compartment. The service guys made a small cut in the cover for the wire to come out and the unit is sturdy and lies in the boot. I've attached a picture shared on the Hyd SR 150 group of the same

Price -Rs 900 approx
