bro.. that set up is extremely for top end.. you will hit 100 maybe around top gear rpm 5~6.. but.. your bike will be super heavy and not recommendable.. Dun mind I ask.. who recommend you to try that size man?

I normally pump 240 for front and back. If I pump 230 front and 280 back...what will be the difference? Better cushioning against bumps? Corner good grip? Will not explode/puncture if kena something like sharp rock? Sorry ah...many questions but I really dunno about pumping air.

 

i used to pump 230 & 280 for S4 tires.

KR F190 90/80 R230 120/80, tire pressure depending on tire size, loaded weight and riding style.

 

The more u pumped, corner less grip but better the distance, u figure out

[Sharkboy]

Would like to ask if any bike shop locally that does custom bracket for front caliper?

U mean it cant be seen frm the glass there rght? Cant be seen coz the engine oil is circulating inside. Normal

Betta to get a full service for ur bike.

Since ur bike is stock dont try to use 15/36. That kind of sprocket set up is used only if bike is mod, if not at 6th gear ur rpm cant go more then 7-8k rpm. Stock best to use 15/38. 415 chain can use but if ur on sports rim use betta quality 415chain

Best to follow manufacturer's recommendation. They know best. N if u pump lesser means tyre is under inflated n cant get the proper tyre structure thus cornering tends to be unstable, n under inflated tyres will wear out faster as its not in form shape which can also make fhe tyre uneven 'spoilt'. Try google abt improper tire pressure

Bro my bike is stock also like urs. I'm using 15-38. It's good for Singapore roads especially expressways and traffic jams during expressway or street riding. I would recommend u to try it. Good pickup Good distance.

 

15-37 is my touring sprocket haha. Urs is 15-36 hmm Singapore not ideal for touring. Every few second either got traffic light or car infront of u.

Try ferst, n feel the difference

 

Ok I will try it. Hopefully I won't "slip" during corner...haha.

Haha...I am about 80kg, I think my rear tire is 110/70. Front I not sure. I normally ride hard and like to play corner. I don't play on rainy day only...lol.

  gutripper said:

You stay at Bukit Merah? Got see the below bike before?

 

 

Thanks bro I rarely pillion people.

 

No, i don't stay in Bukit Merah now, moved out of the area 20+ years ago but grew up in the area as a kid, i am in my late 30s ( not 40 yet ). I still go back to Bukit Merah very often though ( hang out there at least 2 - 3 times a week, like the area ).

 

i believed i have seen your bike before but not sure. Your bike sure look good, i keep a lookout for it.

1) 1st hand kawa VERY few, high chance no more or left 1~2 the entire singapore.

2) no black, only green/silver/blue*(if i'm not wrong)

3) speedometer SG also limited.. have to find.. Koso brand. that price around $200~$300

4) Tires - battlelax *recommended

5) LAB- ah boy - almost anything - just ask. from Rain coat to screws and to piston.

6) spray job - Only a few you can go. I only spray in JB, thus not sure about SG.. SG cost is high.. $100 for fuel tank only, you decide for yourself..

Oh okae. thx =] btw wat's the problem if the gears hard to change or skip gears? my friend says its bcos of the gearbox cost by the engine oil.

 

Any gantong to recommend? changing them soon. very soft alr. corner very unstable. especially wif pillion on a rainy day. =[ very scary. sometimes not raining also very unstable.

I dont know the general consensus of the folks here, but for me, i refuse to teach anything that isnt good to do. You will have to learn on your own.

Bad clutch plates can do that, but before you change, try using gear oil instead of 4t in your crankcase. It will have a higher number after the w. Ie, plutoline sae 20W60

 

Dont bother using expensive, low weight oil like castrol 5W40. Engine oil for 2t bikes is there to lube your engine gears, not lubricate your pistons. Thats what 2t oil is for.
