Kawasaki KRR150 Riders

[jt9d]

i do have this prob last time ...

i went to check if the mech and they say my gear level (the 1 where u have to kcik gear up/down) is going to be spoilt soon .. (due to wear and tear)

so, they changed it for mi and problem solved !!!

=)

 

 

 

how much do u change that thing? im on a tite budget now.... still a student tho... :giddy:

I can't really tell you EXACTLY why the thud happens but one thing I noticed. The higher your RPM, the louder the thud. (EXAMPLE: Try revving your bike 5k rpm at neutral and engage 1st gear. TTTTHHHHHUUUDDD!!!)

yah ... noticed that too ... got to change down carefully .... if not, heartbreaking

my krr 150 has a prob... whenever i wanna change to a lower gear or from neutral gear to gear 1, there's this loud sound... is it the sprocket or wad? anyone can enlighten me?? :help:

think maybe u lowered gear at a higher rpm. usually occurs when u r going to stop?? for me is that i go to neutral and clutch then when rpm go to almost idling then i down to gear one...

Session 1 is usually going at a pace where EVERYBODY is able to keep up without overstretching his riding limits. That's why with an experienced rider looking out from behind (If we have more, 1 or 2 more in the centre), we are able to look out for each other. We'll crawl if we have to make sure that everybody is within their riding limits. First few laps are usually like sight seeing laps. Boring if you ask me but crucial to know the track layout and how your bike responds accordingly. Then speed increases (Trust me, it's still a "cruise")....

 

With a proper mental approach, a track visit can be very educational & fun. With this format of "track days", I also believe we are able to attract a bigger crowd as some of us only wants to try what a racetrack is all about and avoid those "Let us go to the racetrack, race each other till we have the last man/bike standing to prove that we have big b*lls etc..". Like I said, there is always session 2 (Own pace) to look forward to for speed freaks.

 

Lastly, slap yourself.... A mind is like a parachute. It works best when it's open. Positive thinking DOES wonders. I do hope that you do not think you are gonna crash your bike everytime you gonna ride it right? Like I said before... correct mental approach. I AM GONNA HAVE FUN. I AM GONNA HAVE FUN. I AM GONNA HAVE FUN..... (Try not saying this too loudly though. The men in white coats might just have to come grab you if you overdo this)

hohoho..i know my limits buang before many times on SAF bike cos i overdo it but due to d fact dat since i know repairs i dun need to pay!write statement can liao haha oops =p so now is my own bike..i sure safety 1st!!..haha n yah SAF boots oso not bad mah..juz dat it dun give u d protection of a proper track boots which r costly.

 

So wHen go PG?haha

it's not abt whether u got rev the throttle anot when u step gear down marhz

it's abt at what RPM u step the gear down

try to match the gear u r at w/ the speed u r travelling

this would help to reduce the chances of having the THUD sound

 

reason why it happens in low gears...low gear has a speed range lower than that of higher gears

so the mismatch in gear and speed happens only in low gears

pls correct me if im wrong

Freddy... if you were there alone.. you would have been LL!!!

 

That idiot has refused to pay you till I told him off about you being a student and that your money is limited to repair your own bike. Fooker also kept saying not his fault, not deliberate. LAME!!!

 

Also, if he really don't want to pay.... you're still dead because that's a BLOODY HONDA WAVE and not a Skipper!!!

Sorry lah.... Freddy should know me well enough that underneath my loud mouth, non diplomatic sarcasm, I am actually harmless and that's my brand of humour.
