wah.. dis 1 really suay la.. right in e face..

[williamleesg]

i realise after riding fuoco for some time, my cornering skills suck now.. can't go down too low as it will scrap the main stand.. anyone got this problem too?

[williamleesg]

juz changed Dr Pulley Hit Clutch today, realised the vibrations are lesser, throttle feel much lighter now..

i actually quite enjoying scraping it.. but worry dat too much scraping will somehow spoils e mainstand or wat.. haa..

[williamleesg]

tat's what i'm worried about.. later scrap too much must buy new main stand..

[Chubb]

any1 know fuoco mirror thread is 8mm or 10mm?

any reverse thread?

[williamleesg]

hmm.. i got no idea bout the mirror, bro chubb though for changing aftermarket mirrors?

[Chubb]

ya lo, cos our stock stem abit long leh..

tot of koso mirror, scare e area too small to see anyting.

[williamleesg]

i think koso mirror will vibrate badly on fuoco.. (fuoco vibrates very badly)

[Chubb]

phew, juz finish installing my IU and replace stock 12V charger wif my own as e stock v loose when inserted..

stock 12V charger removed.

 

 

my own 12V charger inserted.

need some squeezing as mine abit bigger

 

from inside.

no cable were splice or cut during process..

[williamleesg]

Weld another piece of metal for scrapping purpose lor...

It's not your corner s&ck la... just suspension soft... adjust to harder settings at the rear shocks and it'll be better.

It is 10mm. cfm.

 

I've thought of changing to after-mkt shorter mirrors (like the Koso), but find that it is difficult the blind-spots. Plus many ppl also use Koso liao... so I may scout for something more uncommon, yet nicer.

 

INstead, I push the stock mirror stem forward and the mirror plates upwards (imagine rabbit ears) - so now going in between vehicles are easier.

ok thanks.. saw some reviews dat koso mirror vibrate lik hell.. might drop e idea of koso.. also looking out for other type..

i see mp3 de lik not bad leh.. big and short.. haa

[williamleesg]

i used to have koso mirrors on my previous bike, the vibrations is very serious,lol..

to me, the stock mirrors are good enough..

juz wondering, izzit advisable to change all 3 tires together or i can juz change the rear? my rear thread gonna finish soon but the 2 front wheel still ok..

Follow what the car-drivers do - SWAP!

 

Seriously, that's a good question - two-wheelers usually 2 front tire change for 1 rear. Seems like in Fuoco's case, its gonna be 2 rear for 2 front

 

OK - basic principle, SAFETY first!

What brand is City Grip? Let us know again after you review it

[williamleesg]

City Grip is from Michelin, the new model for this year. They no longer have stock for Gold Standard. So far so good..
