M5 doesnt have our size but is a very very good tyre .. better than 090 much more.. M3 is old version of M5 , dry - super good. wet , just nice.. Long lasting.

Good advise, Binteng!

 

When choosing tyres, it doesn't mean that "sexiest looking" or "most expensive" ones are best. Do take into consideration what you want to use your bike for, our bike power and the speeds you do.

 

My personal choice is BT090. I've done 137km/h top; 100+km/h wet rides, 90-degree corners in the wet at approx. 40km/h (at apex) on these tyres.

 

That same 90-degree corner in less wet conditions using the stock Swallow tyres, resulted in my rear-end sliding. This was within a month after I bought my bike.

 

Fleas - Your earlier post asked if it's down to rider choice. Let me put it this way:

Our life as bikers depend on two contact points about the size of a credit card. So, whether you are a relax rider or chiong rider, choose wisely. I would always choose sticky (for grip) and mid-lasting tyres. Long lasting tyres tend to provide less grip. I'd rather spend $290 on tyres every 1.5 years than spend $2,900 on medical bills.

 

Hope this helps.

 

cheers

[M_Power]

guys thanks for the advice.

 

really appreciate your help.

 

Where do you recommend to buy tires at reasoable prices?

[fleas]

thats a good point sir, looks like bt090 is the 1337!

I'm using RK chain (Japanese race chain brand, 520 pitch). Click for chain info.

DID is the American equivalent. CKA only carry RK chains.

 

I have also changed my rear sprocket to 42-tooth Daelim units. This is smaller than the stock 47-tooth(or is it 45?) sprocket. I like this new gear ratio because the engine speed(rpm) is more relaxed. To me, the sacrifice in acceleration that usually comes with a lower gearing isn't obvious. I can still get away from traffic lights ahead of other vehicles.

 

My White Eagle is also installed with a K&N filter. The model that is suitable for our bike is cylindrically shaped, not cone. However, you will have to remove the air-box. This installation is best as it allows the engine to breathe well. This equates to better performance [no dyno numbers to prove this but my butt says so... ]

 

The end result is that the induction roar is quite loud. I like it while riding in Sillypore. The engine singing at speed is music to my ears

Plus, car drivers can hear me sneak up on them when filtering on expressways.

 

When going up North on longer rides, I use earplugs or listen to music with earbud type earphones. This is because the long exposure to the loud roar plus wind noise from my helmet is too much. At the end of one 4 hour ride, my ears were ringing for quite a bit.

 

All of these parts can be bought at CKA. Call them to check for pricing. Off the top of my head ball-park figures are $150 for the K&N and $130 for chain and rear sprocket.

 

If you chain is worn out, the priority is to change the chain and sprocket first.

 

Have fun!
