cos tt time bring skippy's sefera go scrap, den we took out almost everyting & left oni the casing of the bike, den the uncle kpkb almost don let her scrap..

Actually, The uncle cannot say don't scrape one.

 

Under LTA regulation. AS long the chasis and engine is presence, Scrap yard must take in and give you the relavant documents.

 

I think the reason he kpkb is because got nothing to earn from this scrap mah.

You know how heavy the engine and the frame is or not

It's not about the weight. Bicycle also got side stand want.

 

What determinds the stability is the angle. If the side stand too long.

It will topple on the other side if kanna hit or whatever.

 

If side stand too short, it will topple on the side stand side.

 

Best angle is leaning 30 degree af ther the side stand is in place.

 

And side stand better have rubber padding on the feet area.

Anyway, side stand is very easy to install. just a few nuts and bolts.

 

Then again. When I was still riding my VXR200.

 

I notice is that 95% of the time is I use main stand.

the other 5% is use side stand.

 

The only time when I use side stand is when I only need to park for a while.

eg. park and go to mama stall to buy ciggie. It will take like less than 2mins.

Its better to park on ur main stand...never trust ur side stand. As per my last incident when i park my bike and some fellow knock into my bike, i was lucky i had it on my main stand if not the damages would have been worst! So better be safe than sorry!

This is how cvt works.

 

CVT stands for Continuous Varaibel transmission.

Most auto scoot uses this system.

 

The rollers that you keep hearing about is the variator rollers.

 

Slight ringing sound at low speed?

 

Hmmmm. may I ask when is the last time you change your rollers?

Go Ah Boy there and buy lor. MAde in taiwan non original one cost only $12~$15.

 

Rim? No Idea about the price. But not cheap I guess.

 

If you want better rims, get the hexagon rims.

Hexagon rims are tubeless whereby skipper one is tube ones.

 

Of cost, when you change from skipper rims to hexagon rims, you

have to chnage the tyres too.
