Well, not yet, cldnt find the time to go there to try it out.

 

I think I know what ur thinking.

considering to get which device rite.

 

if u have the time, i suggest that u go and try out both devices first, since they allow u to try it, without any obligations to buy it.

 

then u can personally feel, assessed and compare both products.

 

im thinking of doing that, then it would be personally more satisfying.

 

though the reviews and testimonials for both have been very well complimented, but its best if we can personally feel it, judge it, and make the decision on which product we are more satisfied with, thereof to prevent any further regrets.

I'm thinking of choosing Revtec, theirs seems to be more proven with dyno results and reviews from users. Power abuser so far all the comments are from the seller himself, no one has come in to suport the product.

Since u have already decided on Revtec,

ill be kindly awaiting ur feedback on the product when u have installed in on ur machine then..

 

but at the mean time,

maybe e same day b4 u install Revtec device,

strolled down to depot, and just try out the other device first,

just to have a feel...

 

then later u can install the Revtec, and feel the difference then...

 

then let us know then.........

it shld be a worthwhile experience........ :thumb:

 

 

just my 2 cents.......... :smile:

Last Friday, I was on my way up to KL alone. I met this nice R1 rider, so we rode up together. Great company. He’s British I think. Another long weekend is fast approaching on April 14. Anybody interested in going to Fraser’s Hill? I know Thailand is too far for most sportbike riders … except for the adventurous few.

 

I have to leave for Putrajaya on April 14 morning to collect some stuffs.

 

Din / Beagle, how about it? Should have come, should have gone, blah blah blah, but cannot go?

 

Rommel, would your audit be over by then?

 

Chilly, wanna stay in S’pore and hear your Arrow barf or you wanna let her rip! Yeah!

Yes Tashi, audit will be over by then.... but the guys in your hometown made some serious mistakes that set back my job for a month.

 

have to get up there this weekend to do some damage control. How nice if I can ride up...but mixing work with play will cause more problems.

 

 

 

My warranty expired 1st Apr - 16,000Kms plus - coil is still OK. I hope it stays that way because no such thing as extended warranty for coils.

I guess we just have to get used to being coil paranoid.

 

 

LD, noticed you're looking around for a new paint scheme. Anything but that red white blue and stars that screams captain america worst Yvel Knievel...unless you're a fan. I was...donkey years ago.

 

Speaking of Yvel, does anyone sense something evil about this tyres. Diablo Corsa. I felt a short skid on the rear while taking a lefty this morning. I wasn't leaning steep. Kinda erode my confidence.

Maybe they didn't call it diablo for nothing...

Rommel - I got the same feeling when i was on diablo too.Even though the tires still have the groove,the tires tend to slip even on dry surface.Caught offguard a few times & decided to change.The tires damn good when it's still fresh but after 1/2 of it's life,very disappointed.

This short skid, I have felt it on BT014 and BT015 as well. I think this phenomenon happens when certain conditions are met. Tires are fully/over inflated, bike is banking, ground is slippery and the stars happen to align in a certain way, and boom, there you go!

 

As for as I can remember, it happened once on my RR4 when I was touring to KL. The ground was wet & slick, my tires were fully inflated, I was doing 170, leaning slightly over a bend, the 'hak shau sing' (black hand star? it really is the name of a black goldfish) was entering my orbit and then boom, a slight skid.

OK gUYS... yesterday i do research on the back tyre skidding issue. When you take a corner, try shifting your right foot away from the rear break. Cos when you do deep corner your right foot tends to push the brake a little bit, that is when the "drift" is felt. Its scary guys but somehow fun :cheeky: The sensation of balls rising to your throat is often felt during this situation. LOL

a friend of mine riding a ZX12, using a set of diablo corsa tyes.

 

he skidded and buang his bike at a left bend, at lornie rd, abt 2 weeks back.

he was doing about 50km/h on a hot sunny afternoon at 1pm.

 

its a second hand set of tyres that he got just 2 weeks earlier before the accident.

e tires were still in very good condition, material and tyre grain.

 

he has about 12 years of riding experience, and was riding a blackbird before he got this ZX12.

well, as for me, ive been getting use to the skid here n ther from the tyres too.

 

ive ever skid my front tires when doing a low corner on the left, but managed to control it after i closed the trottle. it was past 4pm on a cloudy day.

 

as for the skidding of the rear tires, wic i have also felt before quite frequently.

 

both the tips of my toes are always on my foot rest(tip-toe), its about half a foot away from the rear brake pedal for the right side.

 

its a habit that i have esp. doing corners,

so i have to move my right foot forward if i needed to step on the rear brake.

 

so probably, the theory wld not suit for my case then. :confused:

 

however, ive not encountered this type of skidding n feeling when riding other sportbikes. :giddy:

Dun ever close the throttle if you are in a middle of a fast corner. You are asking for a low side, the sudden shift of weight to the front will cause your front tyres to be overloaded and slide.

 

Backsliding in the middle of a corner could probably have something to do with your suspension set up if you were not whacking the throttle open suddenly.

 

Anyway, just for info, I encountered alot of rear wheel slides when powering out of corners with the Diablo Corsas before especially when the tyres got older. I have never used them since... only Metzeler Racetecs and now Michelin Pilot Power Race. These tyres don't slide at all.

Appreciate e advice Raptor.... :thumb:

tats definately a very reasonable and logical explanation.....

 

I did encountered tat when i was still riding my R6 back then....

and definately went thru such an experienced.... :sweat:

 

but i learnt from that....

apparently just surprised that i went thru such experince again,

even though i maintain my throttle........ :nono:

 

well, probably its my lining...........

or maybe, bcos it was a "uphill" (up-slope) bend ......

o_O

 

pls kindly advice....
