Tweety, must call us go out together.

We any topic also can say 1.

hehehe.

Ok ok will try to arrange 1day...

[raz]

i'm 1.57m i tried sitting on tweety's bike.. have to tiptoe bigtime even when i'm wearing my boots... i pillion sometimes so dun think it's safe for my pillion n for me... tats y i'm still stuck on my vtec3...

adjusting the suspension is the last thing i want to do to a bike as i heard it will affect the handling especially when doing cornering.... dun want to miss the fun....

[Ken]

Tested street legal exhuast of Yoshi, Micron and Arrow on CBR1000RR.

Here's my review.

 

Yoshi

Titanium

Without PC3.

Stock Air Filter.

The feeling is like when i took out the cat.

Like no restriction when i rev.

Only it is more no restriction.

Decent gains in power wise.

 

Micron

Stainless Steel

not straight through.

er.... i had did some mods to my bike, so not very accurate on the findings.

a/f ratio is haywired.

But now after i had it, my low end is not as torquey.

Revving is easiler, smoother and faster.

Front started to have a higher tendancy to lift up ever than before during the mid range and high end rpm.

A good increase in torque graph i pressume.

Although tashi, said that his mag indicate that i have a decrease of 4 hp for using this pipe.

I seriously feels that i am really his Arrow Killer.

heh heh heh.

 

Arrow

Titanium

no pc3, aftermarket air filter.

Sounds like you know those ah bengs small car with big exhuast.

Not i said 1 hor.

Got very loud sound when sliencer is taken out.

Power wise, it makes the bike behaves like a G1.

It gives you adrenalin feeling like that power is alot and pouring out, but when you look at the surroundings carefully, it doesn't move that fast actually.

But the revving of the bike becomes faster.

You see the needle moves up fast, but surrounding doesn't move that fast.

But you can feel torque right from the low end.

So what i conclude is that you need a PC3.

It's just that the A/F ratio had gone quite off.

Like the tap is too small for the water to rush out.

Think about it, u had an air filter, slip on with exhuast valve taken out, how can the a/f ratio not gone hay wire.

You might say the yoshi feels just rite, but different pipe behaves differently.

Yours is a straight through and lightest among ours.

If u had a PC3 on it, i would say ur pipe will have the most decent gain.

Although mine still looks nicer than yours.

But most probably i will still eat u even when u had a PC3 with better gains than me as you are heaviler than me lah.

Dun think the weight loss in a titanium pipe is able to offset too much of your body weight.

hahahahaha.

Go jog at least twice a week during weekends man.

Dun be lazy, get your ass moving. *Smack*

Until u had a PC3, yours for now is still the empty vessel which makes the most noise.

hahahaha.

 

Haven tested on the Akra street legal yet, maybe i should ask that rider out some day next week for a petrol pumping session as a disguise.

hehehe.

 

But then hor, wonder how it felt like with the Arata full system.

Maybe i will go dismantle it and put it on my bike on 1 of these nights and put it back before dawn.

The owner shouldn't notice it.

Quite near my house.

hahahaha.

[Ken]

Raz, can try on a 04/05 R1 at loois.

Should feel better on it.

Can try cutting the seat( 1 of my friend does it on his GSXR600) or change the seat to what they used in race, just a padding wich is velco onto the bike.

Lower your preload to the minimum.

Handling wise, as long as u dun play too hard core cornering, it is okie actually.

 

So whats your dream bike?

Last sat my bike reached a year old & that means NO MORE WARRANTY !

Yesterday as i was leaving home from work, my bike won't start !

It sounded as the batt was flat.Push start the bike to get it started.

Reached home, off the engine & tried to get it started again but the batt was

flat again.Called Ken to asked him about the problem as he encounterd the

same problem before.Ken said 'Confirmed batt flat & magnetic coil burned !'

 

Called my mechanic about the problem & he too said 'I can confirmed 90%

magnetic coil burned !' Anyway, to make it short, they're both correct !

Why must it happened just after 2 days after the warranty expired

Usually when you read reviews done on those bike mags, you have to take it with a pinch of salt.

 

But when you read reviews by Ken, you have to pinch yourself hard! Hahaha.

LD, you work @ Starhub?

 

I believe your RPM is too low, to a point of almost stalling. Ken's suggestion should be fine.

wow how did you know? Psychic?

After market air filters, it's either K&N or BMC. Both provides higher air flow and will increase fuel consumption. If you can find a washable air filter that doesn't have a higher air flow, let me know.

 

Most of us here uses a fuel catalyst to compensate for the increased fuel consumption. It helps to increase the mileage around 10 km. Your mileage may vary. Ideal doesn't see any benefit in using them. Ken thinks he's on roacket fuel after using them, Raptor's mileage improved more than any of us due to the route he takes.

sorry wat is this fuel catalyst and how is it done? the fuel consumption on our bike is bad as it is on stock.

nice review Ken

 

my heart is pretty swaying towards a yoshi, dunno why but i prefer the design

[LastDance]

guys, where can i get water wetter, done a serach but no specific thread on this product. wanna get it done this wed. thx. am thinking of looi's or motoworld.

Tashi, yesterday i U-turn back after the dinner and my reward is a ride on 05R1 and K5G1.

 

Here's my review.

 

05R1

1st feel after hoping on is describing the bike as a fair lady with super good figure is not exaggerating at all as the tank and seat is very slim.

I>-

The bike feels light weight while reversing from parking lot.

Feels very easy to go from left to right while on slow and high speed.

The power is as what we always read from reviews, sluggish while moving off and during low rpm. Need more twisting of the throttle to get it flying during pickup.

Power kicks in exactly right at the 7000 rpm mark. no more no less.

Engine rev feels and sound very smooth(i rank it 2nd in the engine sound and smoothness department) and throttle becomes responsive after this range and feels like a total different bike.

A real joy to ride after u hit this super sensitive G-Spot.

Wu.......... yeah.

If the R1 have a horoscope, i am very sure it is the Gemini girl.

A bike which combines the characteristic of the CBR1000RR and the G1.

The lack of feedback from front and rear while negotiating a bend and the soft rear shock especially going pass an uneven patch of a bend is an issue to be address.

The heat that we have been hearing is true and the weird thing is that the faster i ride, the hotter i feel the heat bbq-ing my thighs.

A freshly steamed chicken leg thigh is what on the menu in a hot day traffic jams.

With hard acceleration and speed over 200km/h, it is the one with the most vibration from the handle bar and the front will feels very light.

This gives me the feeling that i am doing a doggie stunt with me on the back and the ''doggie'' bending its waist and moaning in sensation when hard acceleration.

Weird, but this image just project in my mind.

We always hear ppl saying their bike is their wife, but this bike is truely a bike which you can give it a lady name.

 

K5G1

1st thing i notice is the higher footpegs feeling than the R1, although i didn't know the stats, it just feels higher.

Bike feels light weight like the R1 while pushing it.

The throttle on K5 is the same as the K3 and K4, is very loose or slippery.

A little twist on it is like a big twist on the RR4 and R1.

I find it hard to control the throttle.

Like you set the speed of your mouse to the fastest and the others at medium.

The hardest to control during carpark speed like the K3 and K4.

Easiler to control after the speed is on 70km/h road.

It is as torquey but i find it smoother than K3 and K4 but i dun noe whether is it due to the fact that the milleage is still below 3000km as the K3 and K4 had some 5 digits milleage.

No offence, but the engine sound is the most ''broken'' compare to other make.

Handling is much improve as i no longer had the wide turning feeling i had on the K3 and K4 when i am doing a 200km/h bend.

Good feedback from front and rear.

Although truning is not as sharp as the rr4, it is much improved.

While hard acceleration, can feel the front lifting, but not wheeling and still feels a good amount of feedback from the front wheels.

Good pair of fork it have i would say.

The slippery clutch is working nicely when i did a downshift to a lower gear in high speed to test it existence.

Vibration from the handle bar is also lesser than the R1.

 

In the power department, it wins both hands up.

It is not the power delivery i felt that i think it is fast, it is how fast the surrounding moves that i rate it the fastest.

Power is everywhere right from the start.

Addition of features of CBR series to its main selling point is a very good decision, although it is a bit late before the engineers finally realised it.

It got it anyway.

3 Cheers for the K5 riders.

This is a bike too fierce to call it a lady.

A bull with mad cow disease is more like it.

Together with the rawness of the power delivery, it is not call the King of the Road for nothing.

Not the bike for the weak heart.

 

04 ZX10R

Once sat on it, it feels like a 600cc bike.

Same as the GSXR.

The engine sounds quite the same as the GSXR series.

The bike doesn't feel power on pickup, infact felt sluggish.

The front dun really will wheelie as what was reported, maybe due to the sitting postion which is more to the front or maybe i didn't twist as much, but i remember twisting it hard...

The G1 have a higher tendancy to see the sky.

Rode this bike only on the 1st and 2nd gear.

Cant comment much.

nice review

[Edwin]

Tashi, with water wetter and Amsoil 10W40 engine oil

 

on Sepang track, my temp shows 82 to 84 when I come into pit after each session

 

on NSHW, yes it does goes down to as low as 75

go some motortiam n self fabricate, even cheaper..

does ur fender eliminator come with signal lights ?

overseas selling from USD 50 to USD 140 ( some with signal lite, some without)

of cos some r very nice and with better materials

Sometimes I get visions, mostly of naken women. I also have visions of me holding the 5 Million Toto ticket for this Thursday's draw. Then along comes Ken, trying to take the ticket away from me, but his Micron Blade cannot catch up with the Arrow Blade. Kekekeke.

 

No la, I'm not psychic.
