[745]

hi guys, i am looking around for class 2 bike, got intrested in this hot SP 2.

i am now riding a cbr 400 rr , would like to know wat is the disadvantage in this bike? as an example i would say CBR is well know for over heating and having a sensitive electrical system,.. so is there any common prop in SP2?

am not really worried bout the heat because, my daily journey is only 20 to 25mins, no jam ley.

 

any way i not intrested to get 1st hand, i just want to ride it for may be next 5 to 7 years maybe. but since the cut off production was 06, i am looking for a SP2 5 years or lesser, hopefully the previous owner did not use it for track.... i wounder would i be finding one or not. some more a fourmer said , finding a 04 model is already lucky!!

[745]

hi guys,

 

My bike like gt some pro.

 

when i travel at abt 80km at 3 gear.then i suddenly drop to gear 1.to get some engine brake..smtimes the bike engine will stall.

Any idea wat wrong with it?

 

I would like to join the rc51 gathering?

 

Anyone gg to organise?

 

That will be the greatest help

 

Hi Joven,

I'm no expert in this RC51 either, maybe there are a few problems.

Firstly spark plugs fouling, if you using Power Commander trying asking pros/mechanics to check, might be the ECU too,

I faced a really bad experience once on the way back from Malacca after a heavy downpour there. Bike can start and move like normal after riding for ard 30 mins the engine feels like there is not enough fuel pumping into it. Engine stops when i stop the bike. When i restart the bike all was well again. But the problem persist throughout my return journey. I have to keep the throttle on so as not to stall the engine.

 

ok here comes the funny part, I sent the bike to the mech he gave it a really few hard revs and the problem is gone. Maybe you could do that too...

 

This experience is my personal experience so it may or may not help you guys. Don't quote me on that, just helping fellow RC51-ers....

Here's another one.... bought an old '00 SP1 through this forum a couple of months ago. got all the tricky bits - cf tank, dymags - sure you've probably come across it before. same color scheme as slinkykat.

 

looking for tips on what pipes to put on - not sure what's legal here in singers. had staintunes on my firestorm in Sydney; they had removeable baffles so could be straight-out for track (and sore ears) or quieter for street-legal.

 

Satos are rated best for performance gain though, but are loud so doubt they're legal. any ideas?

 

Hi Geoff,

There is a few slip-ons that are street legal ones here,

Moriwaki, Scorpion. I am personally using Scorpion with removable baffles. Quite a punch in the sound and performance department....hahaha...

18L not veri big lor, consider how much u can travel(depend how u ride though)

 

mine does a 220km with full tank, and yeah that depends on how we ride for sure....
