yeah it is

[wan_xtc]

today i just changed tyres.... GPR70sp... feels dat it has less rolling resistance than dragons arh... maybe because i switched to 150/60 profile for the rear... the previous dragonns were 150/70.... the bike now feels slightly more flickable... power arh...

 

and to all mito riders, dont use anything below RON 98 for your petrol... i can really feel the difference using 95 and 98.... alot of difference...

 

btw, i chaged at HKL, with kron's guidance... thanx kron...

Wan: No problem dude! How much were you charged for it? And how did you find their workmanship? By the way remember that you've got to wear the wax out nicely first before you mess around heh. Now when you go into corners you will feel like the bike is pulling you down and wants you to go lower. Try to maintain your angle and not get tempted. Difficult tastes come with high price tags =P.

 

You may want to consider reusing any gaskets... if it works well, how long more do you think it's gonna last? If it doesn't work well you'll have to head back to the shop to get it fix/plastered/reused... so... how many times do you want to bring the bike to and fro? then one fine day mechanic tells you that it's beyond repair! End up buying a new one. *damn* should have done that in the first place. how many times have that happened to us.

 

Time and money wasted, you pay for the bike to have fun with it not to park it at the workshop.

 

red_rocket: That's what I was afraid of. Now, after a week of having left my bike in the carpark, I've finally started it up a bit. Lifted my fuel tank up and discovered that there was a small trail of smoke which seems to be coming from my engine block! Will have to check and double check again I am quite afraid that something inside might have gotten knocked in after the low side. And I don't know how on earth that gasket could have been sold out for years too!

[Sols]

is your petrol leaking?

 

if not, most prob its just water... becoming steam... thus the smoke...

[NightPhantom]

Hey I heard the thailand tyres are not really good. Apparently for the Dunlop TT900, better to get the 900GP ones cause those are made in Japan rather than Thailand. Tyre balancing if I'm not wrong was done, was away from the other workshop talking to another Mito owner..

 

Anyway, buang already quite sian. Cannot move around much, my baby also feeling weird, now she feels quite like to shake around. Will bring it to SANFU to check my alignment. Paintwork, a bit heartpain, but worse when I saw my end can.. My fork seems ok so far, other than that, it's the headlamps which bother me. Brand new one, $533. God. What the hell the Italians put in my headlamps man???

 

LAB's tyre changing service is erm....scary. My friend's changed their tyres there thinking it would be good value for money. After seeing the workshop they didn't wanna go back again lol.

[wan_xtc]

kron: i was charged $220, no balancing coz he said the machine no nut or whatever for it to operate... he say the nut havent arrive for 1 week oreadi, all the big bikers have been pestering him for balancing... thats wat he said lar, so cant do that... workmanship, ok ok lar... quite fast... didnt take own sweet time nor is he in a hurry...

 

but, now play corner shiok arh... its like saying go lower go lower... wahhh... more throttle more throttle... now can dive into corners arh... not too stable like the dragons... for mitos, rear use 150/60 rather than 150/70:lovestruck:

 

for gpr 70, the rear look like cut slicks arh dunno if it performs well like the dragons in the wet...

 

night phantom: i thin your tires are bt039ss... ss meaning super soft... good choice of tyres for small width rims...

 

redridinghood: organize must tell earlier lar... not 1am den sms me dat time... hahahaha

[NightPhantom]

ya heard the thailand tires was F up... then it looks super duper cheapo... but so far so good.. wet weather... dry weather..... just that.. the grooves abit big.. which means lesser contact wif the road....

 

hahaha.. ur fork got dent or not?? mine last time... dented tottally dented... but paintwork i see also used to it liao.. once a while still wax mine bike myself.. hahaha.. orh just to let u noe.. mine alignment is COMPLETELY SCREWED!!! thats e result of a serious accident... u dun beleive u try mine bike.. haha..

 

LAB the tires hor... buy from them okie. .but bring the tires somewhere else to "INSTALL"... actually arjuna mechenic not bad... i guess i'll be his regular customer for years...

 

aiyah.. for sp its eitehr the 900 gp or the 39ss loh... not much choices.. price range almost the same also... but actually i prefer the bridgestone.. mine old tires the tt900gp.. not bad la.. but i prefer this one...

[wan_xtc]

Holy schmoly!!! i was clearing the clutter on my table adn then guess what i saw??

 

A Maisto 1:18 Cagiva Mito 125 (restricted 15 hp model one)

 

Woke up my mom instantly and she said my dad bought it for me... damn!!

 

Tmr goona say thank you to my dad...

 

although not same model as mine, but still nonetheless a priceless gift man...

 

i think my dad finally accepting me riding... yay!!!

[Kr0n]

Wah sweeeeeeeeeet man. Why can't I wake up to find like the Dainese Mako jacket hung on my cupboard or something hehehe. Good on you wan! Why not ask your dad to buy a Duc for himself too? Hehehe then can come rounding with us?

 

Meanwhile, be prudent in your riding while the wax on your tyres are still on. Once they're off, always remember to get them warmed up a bit before doing "your rounds". And 150/60 for rear is the stock size right? I'd rather take a 150/70. More profile = more surface contact when cornering. Our tyres ain't like cars man lower profile for them means better handling haha.

 

NightPhantom: Arjuna brought me there before, but it looks so cramped lol. I don't know how good they are, but should be not bad considering his father and friends also service there, but doubt they can do Mitos though. As for my forks, so far they look pretty fine. I wanna check my engine tomorrow I have a feeling that my gasket is leaking or something. Doesn't look like what sols said. Has got a bit of burnt rubber smell too and they are definitely not from my tyres haha.

[wan_xtc]

lolx... my dad didnt go and renew his class2 license... dat time when changing from laminate type to fotocard type... only renew his class 3...

 

150/70 is the stock size... i cose thinner profile coz can corner easier... well, different rider has different setup... so, it boils down to personal preference... any of you going 1st motor next week? i thinking of tuning the carb arh... clutch plates can bear wif it...

[Sols]

i wanna change:-

 

1. brake pads (might get ferodo platinum from ah boy, tried before on my cousin's gixxer not bad)
