hey guys,

where would you recommend to go for servicing? any good motoshops u all been to?

 

n by the way, is our bike 18L + 4L(reserve)...correct me if im wrong...

how much mileage u guys manage to achieve?

 

how much mileage do our spug plugs can last, estimated? :cheer:

read the earlier post abt the mileages. ya e tank is 18 + 4.

 

change the spark plug during e servicing. 3000 to 5000 would be gd.

 

workshop to each his own. mi workshop is gd to me but might not b to u.

 

go to 1 that u regularly go to, know the mech well, how they woek, gd anot.

 

i usually go to southern.

SP1 is no doubt a good track bike..But there is a difference riding a litre bike and a sixer at PG..

Maybe Next time you can organise the next track day( weekdays pls)..

Actually my confidence dropped after seeing two crashes just now.. So I went beri beri slow.. Hehe.. And your friend riding GSX400 was sticking to me like Super Glue.. hehe

any pic to show

[Ridox]

Er no pic to show leh. Its a long and forgotten bike. People tell me to change, but I still like it for the following weird reasons.

 

1) 11-13km/l commuting down town. Ouch!

 

2) Rear wheel locks up on deceleration from 3-2-1

 

3) plenty throttle at first gear from idle gives me a headache ( hard landing)

 

4) It pops when u release the throttle.

 

but seriously, its a Vtwin, easy to ride and has strong character, I'm sure VTR and TL owners share the same pleasure. I;ve tried boxer twins, flat 4, inline 4 , this is really satisfying. Dont be discouraged by the latest rockets, at least the sound of your engine in the car park is something they cant replicate...

[Ridox]

I never try the top speed. Without steering damper quite scary. Anyway compared to the SP1/2. This bike has milder cams/compression and runs on carbs.Handling is decent, a bit soft. The bike is so so small.A CBR400 owner once asked me what 400cc bike is that. Despite the car like fuel consumption which I really hate. its a good bike for the lazy and not aggressive rider like me..MAybe should get a varadero , my firestorm and an SP1/2 and see how 3 similar engines be so different.

[srs125]

anyone know where I can get the service manual for the SP2? either buying on-line or from shops. A friend of mine rides SP2 and has asked me to look for it for him.

 

Thx much lah.
