Hi to all and myself,

 

Not to flame anyone and I am just being transparent here. Forgive me should any of my remarks would offend any bros in here.

 

First of all,abt this 2T issue..it will not surface unless the rider or previous owner did disturb the settings of 2T. 2T intake can be calibrated in the lower part of the engine,to sync with the fuel throttle.

 

 

However,many riders are con by mechanics into POWER setting set up by RE calibrating the 2T intake. I have vast experience in KRR machine and I tell you that the true raw power comes not form opening the 2T intake bigger. 2T intake and fuel should be balanced. Any offset from either one element,be it 2T or fuel will result in performance drop. So,the original factory settings are the best to work harmoniously but we rather believe in myth and even use premix. Premixing was the yesterday technology and can be use for track purpose only. Not for the Singapore road conditions. Furthermore, we never get the accurate ratio for premixing 2T and fuel.

 

We just AGAK - AGAK, anyhow measure the 2T and pour into our tank without realizing that 2T will not blend into fuel completely. White smoke was the result of poor setting of 2T intake.Nothing to do with engine and such unless or otherwise.

 

But too bad lah most KR are second hand. Most machines have already been tampered with esp the 2T intakes and stuff. To get a factory set KR in hard here unless there's a way to SET and TUNE it back to factory setting.

Past: RXZ, KR, R1 07

Present : Wave S

According to my mechanic...

Smoke problem is mainly due to 2T. But But But it dosent mean if u change to 100% Synthetic 2T ur smoke problem solved. [it does help reduce smoke by a bit].

Smoke problem is mainly caused by 2T other thing that affects it is worn out piston/piston ring..when piston ring worn out it will tend to use/pull more 2T..pull more 2T more smoke. Other thing might be ur bike stomach nt clean..decarbonize it. [personally i dont think it will help much]. Or 2T setting is not done properly..[This one dont anyhow play later u set too little 2T piston jam sia.] Another thing my mech said is carb nt set properly..he said something like too much fuel too much air then 2T will cause alot smoke too [can't really remember what is said abt carb settings] .

This are words from my mech..if anything stated is wrong correct me i might also learn few thing..

By the way i am also ridding a kr which will leave a lg trail of smoke...Hahaha [ Use castrol 2T la atleast nice smell =P...HAahahah ]

I am not a racer. I am a rider.

whahaha.. this one ar? we meet up come guy guy talk.. tell you this and that you also wun believe de.. LOL.. See my face den you will understand.. :)

 

 

 

whahaha!! Cannot like this hor.. you already got one.. :p whahaha!!

 

 

 

err.. depending? *not mine.. but i'm sure.. Alot of the KR here win S4.. :p

 

 

 

1) no prob.. this coming weekend i can't.. next friday~weekend maybe can.. :)

 

2) lolx.. if you wan to know your actual settings, have to check if your stomach is stock anot + your setting of your carb jets.. :)

 

 

 

 

1) Called and gotten approval.. HEEHEEHEE..

2) yup.. group page is public, but contents is private for members only.. :) search for kawasaki krr and apply.. :)

3) N.A to me

4) yup... we are a group of friendly riders.. heehee...

5) whahaha.. dun worry.. I wun suan you de.. as long you dun suan me.. heehee.. :p

 

Once u take out your box, u confirm win all the KR that won the S4.

 

=_=""" that's not possible bro.. I remember I lost to a SP before and present..

 

once - I was a P plate in JB, my friend and I friendly race, I lead until 17xkm on KR speedo.. den he overtake me and i see the tail light until i can't see... :(

2nd time, not too long ago.. OH yea.. our most recent major outing here.. I didn't see speedo.. but the SP won by 1~2 bike length also... LOL... So.. not me.. :)

 

U never superman mah. Hahahhaa. Wah I didn't noe u friendly race. I'm not the type to race even if friendly race. Scared piston jam, summon or an accident at high speed.

 

whahaha... friendly ok lah.. hear your bike sound and notice the diff.. :)

*TOUCH wood.. piston jam.. you never maintain bike properly or you change gear wrong or anything else.. lolx..

 

1) sure, but please post here, i dunno how to face book cause i am "old-fashioned backward dinosaur." :)

 

2) my idea is "if it ain't broke...don't fix it." i am happy with my FC. Besides i don't dare go 170. You can call me scared. :p

 

3) If KR can win S4, what is the point of S4 then? i don't care if S4 wins me. i know "wallet-wise", i have already won. :)

 

4) even if you win S4, can we win class 2? one day, a lady rider on a SV650 fly past me off the traffic lights. i caught up with her on the next red-light. Singapore got too many red lights lah :D i have seen modded Spark beat me on my old Lao K before. Maybe i am just a lousy rider. :(

 

no lah u not lousy rider. krr can win s4, cbr400, drz, even rs125., almost all 400cc bike. more than that i dont know yet. so we should be proud or krr. we win wallet-wise n speed, loooks... :)

hi everyone! been a while since i dropped by lol! hope everyone is fine..

 

des, how the hell did u get a slip disc and annular tear??!! if u have back pain one of the best methods would be to do weight training to strengthen the deeper lower back muscles and the erector spinar muscles. core muscles also play a big part as unbalanced muscles can also cause back pain. not to mention poor posture. if ur case has been going on for yrs i also dunno what can help. u should see a specialist or a physiotherapist to see if there is anything that can be done. and also check to see if the are any lifestyle changes that u have to make to make ur back feel better.

 

do not always rely on belts and other tools as at the end of the day, the human body is built such that if u dun use it, u will lose it. by using too much back support for ur daily activities u might cause the muscles which actually had this job to atrophy, in other words, waste away. check with ur physiotherapist before trying anything radical. and from what u said, if l4, and l5 are affected in ur spine its troublesome coz its the lumbar curvature which supports the bulk of ur upper body. good luck but dun rely on "secret traditional remedies". those are the worst.

adesmond2,

 

this guy is RIGHT ! i just don't know how to talk so well. from my personal experience, i use back strengthening exercises ( but i have yet to try weights, only use bodyweight so far ). Leg strengthening is important as well as sometimes it could be due to imbalance of your 2 legs that cause the problem or min. worsen it.

 

1) improve your posture ( standing, sitting, walking, working, riding etc...) .

 

2) use "corrective" training exercises for your back & core. i use my own methods but you can try Yoga, Pilates or other forms of exercises, maybe u can ask "chocolatejay"?

 

3) use "corrective" training exercises to "correct" any imbalance in strength / length between your 2 legs & feet, knees & hips. having a perfect back is POINTLESS if you have to stand / walk on "bad" legs. U "perfect" your back, get up from bed & start walking on "misaligned" legs, problem comes back.

 

4) improve your diet, nutrition, lifestyle. if you can, quit "bad" foods , reduce alcohol & "control" your lifestyle.

 

5) MOST IMPORTANT of all, remember the "use it or lose it". I have to agree with chocolatejay's advice on DO NOT USE ANY BELTS / TOOLS / BRACES UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE. these things are "crutch" & try not to depend on such things for too long.

i just know that i am not a daredevil. i have never tried racing to beat 400cc. however based on my street experience...400cc inline-4 bikes do not seem to be able to pull away from me at below 130km/hr ( KR stock speedo ) or 8k rpm. They usually pull away AFTER that but then again i am the guy who dare not rev any more & go faster, so it is more due to my lack of guts rather than the bike's potential.

 

What i do like is the handling & weight of the KR. the fairing helps too. KR's FC better, servicing, maintain, repair costs are also cheaper, therefore MOST important of all to a "miser" like me is the $$$. :)

 

so maybe a S4 or CBR 400 or RVF is faster on the race track or at the top speeds, i dunno. However for me, i don't see the need in my usual commuting. The KR's acceleration, agility, stopping is very good for Singapore roads. I have tried riding a cub before & yes it may be more economic but the lack of power is quite tiring to ride on medium traffic. I suppose a bigger bike is more fun when traffic is light, a slower cub or 4-stroke bike is more fun when traffic jam but...

 

KR is the best in medium traffic. KR is also quite good in heavy traffic ( unlike the bigger bikes ). Kr is also fun when traffic is light ( unlike slower bikes ). So in my opinion, KR is just a perfect all-rounder, a perfect balance in every area, including the $$$. :)

harlow!!

 

thanks for your advise bro.. that's why.. i need pros like you and bukitmerah to advise me.. :(

I totally dunno what muscle this and that.. i only know i can walk with my backsupport.. because previously.. i can't walk or walk with a limp.. that was during dec.. i have to rely heavily on medicine to sustain the pain AND allow me to SLEEP! else the pain will not even allow me to slp at all.. :(

 

meet up soon bro..

1) wow.. posture -> abit Y liaoz.. the therapist did mentioned that.. i also do not know how to straighten back.. :(

 

2) yup.. swimming every weekends.. and i feel that it did helps! :) i normally swim for 1+ hour or less.. no laps like relax and swim 1/4, rest, swim 1/4 rest.. that kind.. :p

 

3) for this, i really need some good advise.. because since dec i have pain thus i rely alot on one side of the body.. now, it's abit "Y" liaoz.. dunno how to balance back again.. :(

 

4) yup.. controlling and reducing "rice" intake.. i do see a "slight" small differences.. and i'm continuing doing it.. :)

 

5) yup.. i've taken out for 2 days liaoz.. and still can tahan.. the pain has reduced alot since i started swimming again.. BUT.. any guys willing to teach me frog style? :(

i dunno how to swim slow and relax.. mine is free style and fast.. :( i can't slow it down..
