[CLOSED] SBF Yamaha Spark135

[180]

Hi, jus to ask. Anyone tried to compare the meter reading wif bigger bike to test the meter reading? Like my y125z, differences of abt 15 to 20. How abt spark 135? I also feel like changing to spark 135, sian of my y125z liao, loud and smoky, haaa.....Maybe wil go BP to check out much they wil take in for my bike, or any of you guys have friends interested in buying y125z, can let me know also, heee,,,thanks.

Any1 knows the lastest plate number now, saw a FBA 5 hundred plus on road liao. And is it true that to bid for a number plate minium price is $1000, same as car?

Yo~ Yeah i tried my 110km/hr with Bambino's car, its equals to his 90km/hr+.

 

UPDATES:

Today tried top speed at SLE, 130km/hr, stable but light, must grip and stay still, vibrations not that bad coz i pumped up my tyre pressure at 200psi front back. And FYI i weigh 100kg, lighter riders can expect a higher hit. 130km/hr is provided the road is smooth and no slope. STOCK! Imagine having a better tyre and pipes and sprockets!! heehee Shiok.

Hi.

Thinking of getting a new spark 135 but got a few questions.

Which do you all recommend, with or w/o clutch? Heard Clutch version no e-start?

How you all run in?

Are there any sport rims available for this bike? Cos not really good to run around in tubed tyres right? Later punctured cannot ride liaoz?

[btarroja]

Hi,

 

I'm new to Singapore. I just got my 2B license (converted from foreign license).

I'm planning to buy the Yamaha Spark 135.

 

Can you recommend a good dealer for this bike?

 

I called Hong Leong and they qouted me $3460 for the bike alone.

 

Other questions I have.

 

1. A good place to buy a Helmet?

 

2. What is IU?

 

Thanks,

Bogs

Ok friend, here's some tips to share about running in.

 

The speed yeah ride 80km/hr below until you hit 800km, then ok liao.

 

Do your engine oil change 3 times, when your mileage hits:

 

-800km

-1600km

-2400km

 

respectively. After which, u can do your normal servicing every 3000km.

 

Use miniral based or semi-synthetic oils during your running in period, try to avoid fully-synthetic for the moment, coz your engine needs rougher oils to season the engine.

Yo! Welcome to the spark 135's den! heehee

 

$3460 is a good price!

 

IU is the cashcard machine for you to use, when you enter ERP zones and town etc. U can op to fix it or not. But now many ERP gantries are up, so its wise to have one installed.

 

You can buy helmets at Lim Ah Boy, the address is Kelantan Lane, off Jalan Besar Road. Near Sim Lim Tower. 80% of singapore riders got theirs from there.

[btarroja]

Thanks Illusions!

 

I have another question for anyone.

 

Regarding "Semi Automatic Transmission", what will happen if I stop and I don't shift to Neutral?

 

To rephrase, should I shift to neutral whenever I stop. Then shift to 1st gear the moment I go forward?

 

Or could I put to first gear during stop and just hold the breaks?

 

Thanks Again,

Bogs

Yo! You're welcome!

 

For the gear you're talking abt, when u come to a stop at let's say 4th gear, it doesn't matter, it's engine will not stall, so don't worry. Just shift back to gear 1 to standby, no need to go neutral. In other words, its a very fool proof bike. Straight forward, sweet and short.

 

You will only engage neutral when you need to park your bike.

 

And lastly, the braking will not affect anything to your gears etc.
