well i know the FY yellow mito too he is a friend tat i met when i was looking ard for stickers and all at serangoon and he offered to bring me and ma fren to minerva he is a nice man la very open and jovial ! its a yellow mito with stickers and yes he loves his full face lol.z well i jus wanna get more and more info on it coz i seriously considering already ma TP is on the 31st may u see .... i am still young only 18+ and therefore might be naive which i doubt i am but it doesnt hurt to be open to all views as for the buying a second hand bike i feel i wont have too much of money at hand to do an overhaul and all and ma dad only wants to get me a first hand bike and willing to take out at least 4-5k he told me before so yeah thinking abt getting the mito lor.. seems like quite good a deal somemore riding a myth .. its nothing to boost ma ego but yes ive tried riding Sp's and Kr's but they are no where close to mito's or aprillia's i jus think they are too small and compact. wow getting longer ma post lol.. so yeah pls fill me in more tq !

OKay Mannu, Stock mito all come with good quality stuff.

 

Brembo, Michelins bla bla bla....

 

What you ony need to worry is to get good quality 2T.

 

Trust me on this.

If you're buying a new one, see if you can get an 05 model. I doubt it, but if you can request for it, will be better. If I'm not wrong, the 04 models MIGHT be 31hp as well, 16hp up from the restricted models....them stupid Italian regulations. But now that regulation seems to have been lifted, and the newer bikes are 6 gear 31hp.

 

wan: Wah your dad racer too eh? CAI in civic...not bad haha. What else did he put in there? And which model civic was that?

Other than that illegall xhaust. All given to him when his friend scrapped his civic. EG sedan model one. Man.... i miss the days when VTEC kicks in and the car goes PORRRRRRRRRRR..... PORRRRRRRRRR....

Bought Dunlop GPR70sp at HKL for $220 and no balancing.

 

Hope this serves as a guide.

i feel GPR70 wears too fast...pirelli dragon anyone change recently? how much

[MaNnU]

heheheehh well then does that stock mito come with the brake fluid reservoir at the right handle or do u only have tat when u install the hel lines ? .. sry but jus wanna enquire from ma abangs and kor kor's here..

[Sols]

fluid reservoir on right handle is front brake reservoir, then near the rear wheel got another one is for rear brake...

 

all bikes using hydraulic brakes will have them... and most bikes nowadays are hydraulic brakes...

 

HEL or steel braided hoses will ensure that you have the stopping power as of when you want/need them... to be honest, just as much you want power, you also need to ensure that you can stop also... so i do recommend steel braided hoses no matter what...

I'm using Michellin... the threads are super deep to begin with, so can use for very long... lol...

 

but according to some ppl, Pilot Sport got traction problem... but i haven't experienced anything like that... lol... and i love the thread design... haha... so i guess i'll just stick to them... lol...

pirelli dragons oso wear out same rate as GPR70. But provide more grip.

Hey peeps, guess what?

 

Was just away for 45 mins and my bike was dropped, IU zip tie cut and thus fairing scratched, near the brake lever area there. quite visible man.... sighz..

 

Dunno which bugger so free to do these to my bike. And i cover my bike. Went down, saw my bike cover in an awkward position. Hmmmzzz... remove cover, and slot in key and turn handle bar, then my IU dropped!! arrghhh... The zip tie was cut. Inspect my bike and saw my right side fairing was scratched.... luckily not major. my bar end balancers was scratched too. sighz, heart pain to see these things happened to my bike. My alignment is ok.

 

Well, I had to ride. SO just placed my IU on the steering column or whatever its called. And the best part was that it didnt pop out while cornering, encountering potholes, etc.

 

Had to thank Lawrence(lacrimosae) for giving me zip ties.

 

Sighz. Today juz not my day

cashcard thief?

 

maybe he cannot find cashcard then tulan push your bike down.

 

maybe.

[wan_xtc]

THere are so many other bikes around. Why my bike?

 

And no, my cashcard was not in the IU at the time.

 

And u juz cant steal an IU just like that what... Cannot anyhow put other ppl's IU onto your bike right? Checked my fuel line and 2T line, lucky they arent plucked out.

 

sighz...

hmm ... ok.

 

it could just be an accident where he knock down your bike when shifting out or something.

 

IU is transferrable. can be put onto any bike.

does any of u guys noe...where i can get this fibre thingy to patch up cracks on flarings...any shop selling cmmercially?

 

how do they sell them...and roughly how much? sols u bought b4?

[MaNnU]

that is practically the reason why i woud want to steel braid the hose the brake lines solz i totally agree with u coz its no use me getting all tat pick up and top end speed but later find out hey ma rubber hose expand sh*t i dun have ma braking power there then i can kiss the tarmac and also maybe kiss goodbye to earth..... i mean its not only for mito's i feel many other bikes shud get tat as one of their high priority mods for their bikes. jus ma 2 cents of advice.

how bad is the crack? if just hairline or small cracks right, don't need fibre... even if a small part, don need fibre... just need Gel Coat...

 

only big big parts break into 2 then need fibre...

[wan_xtc]
