[DIY] The Clinic

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Cold air intake mod report:

 

Ever since I shut the 'safety valve' the engine is absolutely roaring but the price of massive torque and fun is of course fuel economy and heat. It solves the stock engine's slow throttle response issues and running out of breath on the highway.

 

Hills don't result in loss of momentum. Quite the contrary, I overtake everyone else uphill.

 

The look of peoples' faces when they realise they can't cut in front of this Phantom

 

The question is, is this mod safe for others to do. Erm, not yet. If the bike doesn't explode in tonight's convoy run, it passes.

Now at 4 turns rich and seems stable. Tested during emergency dispatch mission from TPY -> Tampines. Cruised there in light traffic (high speed OK) and returned overtaking left right and centre (acceleration load OK).

 

Not especially hot now that I tuned it rich but I guess the manifold pressure is above average. Still, this engine survived a couple weeks of running with too much EO from original dealership, and it was running super-lean then (hence 45km/l FC).

 

Running in current config eliminates the "diesel taxi" sound I've had in the past during cold starts.

 

As I continue to run with the new settings the idle can be tuned progressively lower until she's almost silent when sitting still. Growls like a lioness and scares the road-hogging people out of the way.

 

I met a Phantom with side boxes struggling up a PIE flyover earlier. He was barely doing 80 uphill. I swooped past at 100. Uphill. Guess he went WTF!

Well...just now went to visit girlfriend's house. Her dad also riding phantom.

Turns out...her dad took some engineering course at ITE and studied engine before...so he help me tune the bike a bit.

 

Thanks Kalyan for the offer of helping me...not needed this time, can I take a rain check on the offer to help the next time I needed it?

 

Finally motoworld FF helmet new stock arrived! Tomorrow going to get one FF.

Lots of great promos for HJC helmets but stuff in the accessories section tend to be overpriced.

Went to Motoworld around 12+ today...got myself a FF helmet! Finally~

Had a tough time deciding what colour and design I want...lingered for quite some time at the showroom.

[kmjoe]

nice!!! fug man~ sld have waited than got more nice nice colour to choose

[Vashie]

Don't know why...my right hand wrist damn pain. I think throttling bike strained my wrist.

[kmjoe]

when i just had my 1st bike i sprained my wrist too lol...

[jtzx]

buy trottle rockers... i using that.. so fun

[Vashie]

The small piece of plastic on the throttle?

How does it work?

[kmjoe]

use palm to press down only, instead of turning the whole grip...

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

It seems to work great, for those who've tried it.

 

Just don't pay $20 for a branded, tiny little piece of plastic. Can be gotten for much cheaper.

 

Speaking of which... I can probably devise one made of cable ties

[pureice68]

buy trottle rockers... i using that.. so fun

 

Saw the throttle rocker at Motoworld on Sat but cannot fit on our throttles as the rocker is too small. We thought that the price is abit steep too - $20.00 each!

[pureice68]

clinic diy throttle rocker is..erhm. made to measure..

size range from 10mm dia to 1000mm dia..so no problem fitting all sorts of bike..

 

Haha ezzyoiler, noted and also thinking of DIY-ing my own too! Now deciding wad material to use nia!

[jtzx]

what are u all up to???? are u are trying to fix 007 oil sprayer and out fox tail gatters? jtxz redo his to a fast oiler..

 

fyi...mine has an option to dump oil....

 

haha... i just redo the pump and the air intake so that the flow rate be more constant...

 

u only change the bottle of coz good =.="

 

 

 

the flowing no good, not sure if the breather tube too long or my piping not in good position

i did not change just the bottle.. i make alot of little changes.... the problem now i face is the joints starts leaking oil slowly... 1 min 1 drop of oil..

I know lor, just wanted something that won't rust or wear off easily! Angle, thickness and sizes are also considered not to make the whole thing look out of place! Most likely will be Aluminium lor!

[jtzx]

wa... hardcore man.. aluminium somemore ;DD

[pureice68]

hahaha..

rocker design already tested in my head...can work ..

any size, variations of design..a lot..

yes rust is not an issue..

any colour u want..

made to measue..

time needed for installation 10 min tops.

more and more..maybe patent it in the sbf..

 

Wow, that is great! Think this product of yours will Huat!!! JYJY!!!!

There's a date problem with the next clinic, unless we'd like to demonstrate your skills at the pk mass gathering. Which is not a bad idea at all.

 

Oh and rocker - I'd like mine with plastic cable ties, red lace.. maybe a tiny little pillow at the end

[pureice68]

yeah will be rich soon..

lets look at the numbers..

in order to be a million dollays richer will need to sell lets say 1.5 m units..

and the demand is 20 / month..this should take..

forever..

huat ahhhhhh:cheeky:

 

in another words i have a job that last forever..ha ha.

 

Dun be surprise that 1 day, we all have to work for you in order to catch up with the world's consumption!

And not forgetting the G-String across your windshield!

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

I get enough stares from drivers, P-plate cub riders, pedestrians already; I'll save that for when more desperate measures are required :3

[pureice68]

wa... hardcore man.. aluminium somemore ;DD

 

Thinking of forming to nice curvy shape and rust free and matching to other parts of my bike, den Aluminium is the best option lor!

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

pureice will next be seen doing metalwork.

 

Iron Man!
