How much does it gonna cozt us,...????

Or are they doing 1 to 1 exchange,...???

Getting sianz bout thiz coil issue,...

then maybe its time to switch over to suzukiiiiiiiiiii ! hehehe

[Tashi]

K7 gains traction control, upgraded chassis, more power ... for 2007.

[LastDance]

temptations temptations...

 

moving to the dark side, are you?

 

Saufi - was your visit to BS eventful?

 

I read up in 1000rr.net bout pp shorthening their exhausts by 3inches. bhp remained the same but power came earlier and made more noise. tempted to experiment with this, if this doesn't work out well then there's an excuse to get the new akra

 

your views folks? btw, who does such jobs? seng kwang?

Thought about changing really,....

But sayang the bike too much ah,....

 

 

Did not manage to go to BS ah LD,....

Got some lazt min family issuez to take care off,....

Paiseh2,.....

[Tashi]

I saw pix of the new K7, black and orange, very nice. Perhaps the switches on the right handle bar is not for TC, but to switch between fuel maps.

 

Shortening the exhaust might melt the rear LED.

What do yu guys think?

[LastDance]

not impressed with the twin exhausts, TC sounds cool though

[PoKe-Ga-Ki]

still not quite used to the looks of the er...weird-looking exhausts. tat's the trend that suzuki n yahama are adopting for their future sportbikes huh?

 

the front looks immaculately sharp (even tot the picture dun) tot.

 

yup, the orange scheme sure looks loud n eye-turning!!

Coil, flywheel and labour, about $800.

 

Lunch buffet for me, yourself and 2 partners only $360. What a bargain.

[Tashi]

Somehow I like the look of the Fireblade better. Very sharp, and the proportion is just nice.

$840 got change

 

spent so much on the coil could've got myself a full system already

[Tashi]

LD, heard the recoiled stator is all burnt, unlike the original stator.

 

So which is better?

 

I thought the original one, but maybe perhaps the recoiled one, because the whole thing can be burnt before giving up, whereas the original one can't work after a small bit is burnt.

[Tashi]

Pix of K7 not posted elsewhere.

Applying what we've learnt about aerodynamics posted previously (http://mototuneusa.com/welcome_2_p_n_!.htm), the exhaust appears to be pointing at an angle that may break the teardrop aerodynamic form.

 

The design of a good aftermarket pipe for this bike could confirm my suspicions.

 

From this shot, we can also see how thin the swingarm is. No wonder the bike is so light.

I was surprised when i saw the coil cos it was unlike the previous Honda originals. Those had at most 3 of the components burnt, for this all were burnt. Who else had the recoiled ones? Maybe i got a defective piece.

[Saufi]

So far my recoiled coil no problemz,....

Hopefully can lazt long,....

But not tooo confident bout it though,.....

 

Coil, flywheel and labour, about $800.

 

Waaah,..... The new coil cozt sooooo much ah,.....

But doez it confrm will cauze any more coil issue,...???

[ronald814]

Wow, I like the look of the twin exhaust on the suzuki, the yellow suzuki looks so nice and chic, now thinking of joining the dark side already.

Fear is the path to the Dark Side.

Fear leads to anger;

anger leads to hate;

hate leads to suffering.

 

The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is.

[Tashi]

Perhaps Honda is the dark side? Suzuki seems to be more innovative. They're like the Mac of the biking world. Switching to Suzuki could be like switching from PC to Mac all over again.

[ultrasmurf]

From what i read, it looks like honda is trying to reduce the voltage induction to the coil. You guys might be able to recoil with thicker wire and less turn and achieve the same effect. Higher wattage rating and less voltage.

[Tashi]

Smurf, where'd you get that info from?

 

Wow, Kawasaki's new ZX-6R looks amazing, even more so than the new CBR600RR.

[Tashi]

Those who bought a BS bike and the warranty period is over, may try to lodge a claim against BS or the other resellers here for all the defective coils sold to you. Only $10 fee.

 

I'm not legal advisor, just found something that I thought may be worth trying.

[ultrasmurf]

The link that I posted earlier, they mentioned that the flywheel was changed, and it has increased distance to the stator. This would create less magnetic field, less induced voltage into the coil.

[bluesea01]

Oh no guys, there are so many ppl joining the coil BBQ club liao, hope mine can still tahan, current mileage is at 16500km, fingers crossed and hope for the best.

Honda Unveils Next-Generation Power Plant Technologies

 

Variable Cylinder Management (VCM)

In a new application of Hyper VTEC technology, Honda has developed a variable cylinder management system (VCM) for motorcycles. This new VCM allows control of the number of active cylinders in three stages from 2 cylinders to all 4 cylinders, for both superior performance and low fuel consumption.

 

Ultra-Low Friction Engine

Honda has displayed a new motorcycle engine with dramatically reduced internal mechanical friction and twin-spark-plug ignition for increased combustion efficiency, achieving a world-leading ultra-low level of friction.
