Woopa!! Cbr1000rr Riders

[Raptor]

Greetiings from Bossier City, Louisiana, USA.

 

Looks like you guys are having too much fun to the point of sinful. Nice warm weather where you guys are at while my butt is being froze off. Got to work tonight and the temperature is supposed to go down to 44 degrees Farenheit, add the wind chill factor and it will feel like below freezing point.

 

Ten more days of this exercise and I can go back home to Phoenix, Arizona.

Lots of bikes in Phoenix coz the weather there is warmer. Will probably be looking for DRZ sometime in March next year. Now it is too crazy a temperature to ride a bike. Very busy with setting up my apartment and getting a car and before I can fully settle down they send me for this deployment.

 

By the way a 2007 CBR 1000 is US$8880 on the road without insurance. A 2007 DRZ400SM can be bought for US$6000 comes with racing cams.

 

I don't miss you guys as much as I miss my bikes and going to the tracks!! That is the honest truth.

 

Will come in here more often when I get back to Phoenix and get my own computer set up. Right now am using the Quality Inn computer at the front office.

 

Ride safe guys. Best regards to Tashi, Augustina, Chilly and the rest of the gang.

Someone wants to use the computer so I gotta go. Later dudes.

Raptor - How are you doing there dude? Hope youre good. Were having fun here yeah! Come in here once you got your pc & update us bout things down there

 

 

As promised here's the pics of my accident at Air Papan Johor back in 98

Abang Raptor, thank you, regards from Agustina and myself as well. I hope you're having fun there. Why don't you hook up with the 1000rr.net guys there. Could be fun.

 

When are you coming back? Can bring back a set of Marchesini rims? Only USD 1,650, about SGD 2,576.

 

In other news today, I went to try one of our member's parents' claypot chicken rice.

 

It's very popular, even got recommendation from makansutra.

Abg Raptor,how r u in US?Hope u enjoying ur attachment there.We r still a close knit bladers with some new members.Sorry didn't get to meet u before u left for US.Get ur pc fast & log in here often ya

[Tashi]

I knew it, after seeing Pedrosa riding one. The 2007 Tri color looks crappy, here's the real deal, 2007 Repsol color. All silver frame and swingarm. Euro model.

Tashi... I looking at the Performance Machine rims for the CBR lah. Looks good leh.

The first item on my list of 'want to haves' for the revamp of my CBR aka Project Raptor 2008.

 

Chances are I will only be back for holidays after March next year and then again for about 10 days only. Got to plan that one carefully coz it must coincide with a 2 day Trackday weekend at Sepang or else that home trip ain't worth the travel time. Hahahah.

 

Too bloody cold here for my liking. Was 3 degrees Celsius last night when we were out in the flight line working. Wearing a pair of thermals, coveralls, T-shirt, jacket, parka and gloves and the chill still cuts you to the bone when the wind blows. Cold till the nose drips water and your eyes sting. This is definitely NOT my idea of fun.

 

And I always thought I would never miss the heat and humidity of Singapore.

 

Take care guys. Ride safe.

 

PS Tashi - can you please don't mention local food here. You are causing me alot of grief when I have to deal with potatoes and steak and MacDonalds everyday!!

You're all lean meat, I can guess what the cold is doing to you.

 

The PM rims are very chrome, very bling. You are so hip. They should pick you for the MTV pimp my ride show. I wonder what the West Coast Customs guys can do to your Blade. Maybe 20" LCD rear view mirrors on each side, with surround sound.

I'll stick to Marchesini.

One of the 1000rr.net members owns this business, he gives good price, excellent service (many peeple say) and provides free shipping. Ask for "Super Brad". Worth a try.

everybody must be busy.

 

chinggu - follow the manual, you won't go wrong. if you want to do hard run in, do a search it's been discussed before.

[chinggu]

the manual onli put 500km then the eo nv put change at wad mileage...

tt y feelin abit lost...

[Tashi]

I would recommend the high rev run in.

 

When the batt is installed on your bike the 1st time, make sure you put foam tapes on the underside of the seat where the staples are exposed, that will prevent the staples from rubbing on the body work, chipping off the paint. Most important.

 

Use WD40 with cloth and wipe off excess chain wax from the chain. It’s gonna fling everywhere when you ride it the first time, especially using the high rev run in method. Honda guys are too generous with chain wax.

 

After 50km to 100km or so, ride back to the shop and change to another mineral oil. No synthetics during run in period. Change the oil filter as well.

 

The following intervals are subjective, but for me, I change the EO and filter again at 500, 1500, 2500, 4500.

 

At 4500, I use synthetic. I wanted to give more time for the engine to run in. 6,500 to 7,500 can change EO again, the short interval is to flush out remaining traces of mineral oil. From 10,000 onwards, you can change EO at every 5,000 intervals.

 

Warm up your engine properly and vary your rpm.

Hello BeagleBull, are you meeting at my place or are you meeting @ Esso? If you’re meeting at my place, pls don’t come late. Come late have to blanja makan. Make sure you change some ringgit, otherwise I have to pay 1st again. Hehe.

 

That night when we were coming back from JB, your chain looked dry and was going up and down. Make sure you moisturize it.

 

Hello flyers, some of you I have not met. Feel free to post and mingle around.

 

I have chartered a bus to ferry some ppl across, there are a few seats left. If anyone has friends who are not riding and who wishes to go, let me know.

 

Deepbluey, another outing perhaps. Cheers.

 

If anyone knows of a 2nd hand CB1300, pls let me know, I have a friend looking for one, thanks.

All, pls use latest list for any amendments, thanks.

[Tashi]

Anyone seen the new Ducati 1098 yet? The front looks like a Fireblade, real sexy! The handlebars look like a far stretch, like any Italian sports bike.

 

Not sure if it's using desmo valves.

 

The disadvantages of the desmodromic valve system are the higher service cost and shorter service intervals, due to the high mechnical precision required to set up the more complex system, and there are possible cold starting issues. There are more moving parts involved, and more adjustments to be made, than in a comparable valve spring engine. However, once the parts have all "run in", there is very little wear in the system, and clearance adjustment intervals increase at a roughly geometric rate. Neglecting the valve adjustment intervals on a Desmo is an invitation to disaster.

 

Valve adjustment at every 5,000km?

 

Italian bikes are always nice to see, but a real hassle to own.

Chinggu, on the manual it's stated as 500km for run-in duration. But like I stated previously, give it more time, because when you change to synthetics, you'll arrest the run-in process. Outing is this Sat. 8pm there should be another one.

 

Beagle, check this page, http://www.didchain.com/hondapage3.htm

 

5:45am you should reach my place, 6am move off to Esso.

 

What do you have in your signature. My translation software says,

 

The destiny is raped on the picture, you could not revolt go to the academic society to enjoy

The work on the picture by the mass rape, you not good bids goodbye the person on oh

The study is visits a brothel on the picture, because must spend also needs to strive

[WW]

Can i go for the flight trip???

[chinggu]

oh ok sure... but tis sat outin nt able to join, look forward to the nxt outing...
