a) strike toto, buy house / business - everything full case, remaining see car enough anot..

b) true.. but.. if mid night.. no car.. how you rev also same ma.. whahaha..

e) yup.. but sometimes for me.. open no open.. not much diff.. and sometimes.. open seems to save fuel more.. whahaha...

yup yup... that's what i totally agreed.. Need to think alot more.. not just yourself..
it's us already.. instead of me me me.. lolx..

$$$ is the main issue.. need alot lor.. my bank dun even have 4 digit lor.. emo sia...

a) plan very good but must strike first lol...

b) midnight no car but got TP , 200kmh in singapore ?

e) you got a entire "room" on your bike ma

1) No offence but i disagree that car is really die die must have just because u have kids. imagine if you have no money for car, so no kids ? Funny that the people with no car seem to have more kids. last time so many people got no car but we got so many kids, now so many people got car but got not enough kids. Opposite effect ?

2) it is NOT selfish. It is more important for "us" to think about saving $$$ for the kid's education than pampering him with a car. It is more important to feed him well, teach him well, love him well than to just throw money at him. I will not want to face financial problems from owning a car unless i am sure i am rich enough. Car installment & maintain $$$ could be saved for their health & education instead of just sending them around in air-con comfort. Slight inconvenience today will train them to be hardy, tough, independent & strong ( i walk in kindergarten, took bus in pri sch, cycle in my teens, lao-K in my twenties...even in the rain. i am sure most of us bikers are the same, right ? ).

3) It is even more important for us to save $$$ for our retirement & not be too huge a financial burden on our beloved kids when we grow old. better to have a cheaper house than a bigger house that will drain us financially. Last time my grandma got 7 children. If each child just pay her $200 monthly, she can retire in comfort ( grandpa "gone" already ). Now a retiree will need $700 each from just 2 children if they want to have same standard of living. If both parents are alive, the 2 adult children will need to pay $1400 EACH...

4) if you spend too much money on car, housing, luxuries today...you endanger your RETIREMENT & your CHILDREN's FUTURE. edit: & also your PARENTS' retirement.

5) ladies / feminists might hate me for saying this but an expensive lavish wedding will NOT guarantee your marriage will last or happy. seen many divorces from couples who break up from financial pressure...when they forgot they spend too much on wedding, honeymoon, house, house renovation, car, luxuries, shopping, holidays...some more many women nowadays only like guys with 4 wheels. i know of some guys that got car just to make their gf happy or even get gf, thinking that it impress girls.

6) many men like to modify their cars as a hobby. if you are the "itchy" type ( NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE ), it is CHEAPER to mod bike than cars. so it is not just about women, men are sometimes responsible too. seen too many men spend a fortune on modifying their cars. their wife ask hubby get car & then to WOMEN"S WORST HORRORS, quarrel that men spend too much money on it, prefer that men spend less "unnecessary" money on modifying bikes instead.

7) in fact, most of us do not have the "good luck" of working in the civil service or "good" companies with fair employment practices. It is too easy now for employers to retrench a middle age worker & hire a cheaper, younger foreigner. I was retrenched when i was 35. nearly all of my local colleagues were eventually retrenched after me. Now my ex-company now nearly all foreigners / new citizens & PRs. i was quite "lucky" that i still got pay-out. Some of the last few guys didn't even get ! Do not take your present comfortable position for granted. *touch wood*!

8) so after "long consideration into the future", which is more "responsible"? which is more "selfish"? which is more about "us" ( your kids & wife & yourself ) ?

sorry if i "preach" too much, forgive me for my "long-winded"

5) I very very agreed on that. We do not need lavish wedding just to make it once in a lifetime but happiness is what we looking for. If "touch-wood" u had lavish wedding, skali few years time the husb & wife no longer together, is such a waste. Im more than happy if a guy do not have 2 wheels or 4 wheels. If what as u mentioned, maybe that girl is materialistic. Some dont want to be paiseh when thier man no transports mah.

It shows that KR family cares about each other

gutripper · July 1, 2011

A) haha...if i strike toto, i would get PGM 3 / RD 350 LC. scared about repairs so must strike toto 1st

B) sorry...no offence...but "who-cares-about-top-end" ? it is the "rush" i am after.

Well....you want to feeeeeeeel the "rush". Try the "rush" that kicks in after 160km/hr. Sorry....no offence too....but "who-cares-about-your-pick-up" when I am going to whizz past you in another 10 seconds and you will never catch up again in the expressway?

Krr or sportsbikes need the top-end just as much as a decent pick-up or it defeats the purpose of riding a sportsbike right? Otherwise can consider scramblers or Gilera runners. Stock sprocket for krr is good enough for Singapore roads and expressways. Decent pick-up and top-end.

1) lolx.. if really no $$$ den take public transport or cab.. BUT.. each of it's own..

2) yup.. your right on all these.. but than again.. to each of it's own..

3) yup yup.. that's why now we have saving insurance, and etc etc...

4) yup yup.. so you have to "consider" everything..

5) for wedding.. i can't comment as each person has their own mindset.. some wan nice honeymood some wan this and that.. and again.. to each of it's own..

6) Yup.. car mod and bike mod is around there.. $$$ is the diff.. lolx.. Car mainly is for transport thru (in my opinion)..

7) yup yup.. that's why upgrades is required.. even thru, i might be a "chao ah beng" last time.. but.. now.. i looked more like uncle.. if.. i "dress" up abit.. i look like executive.. buddha depend on gold, human depend on clothes.. *impress your boss during interview.. (take some course on interview tips)

8) it's still about us..

Lots of thing is to each of it's own.. because different people has different requirement of life, different expectation of life.. so.. I can't really say much..

for me, my decision still stays.. for mine..

5) I very very agreed on that. We do not need lavish wedding just to make it once in a lifetime but happiness is what we looking for. If "touch-wood" u had lavish wedding, skali few years time the husb & wife no longer together, is such a waste. Im more than happy if a guy do not have 2 wheels or 4 wheels. If what as u mentioned, maybe that girl is materialistic. Some dont want to be paiseh when thier man no transports mah.

lolx.. yup.. but if you 2 stay long enough until 70 years old when your grand son ask you.. "grandma, where's your wedding and how is it?" that will be abit hard to reply.. *and again.. to each of it's own..

Well....you want to feeeeeeeel the "rush". Try the "rush" that kicks in after 160km/hr. Sorry....no offence too....but "who-cares-about-your-pick-up" when I am going to whizz past you in another 10 seconds and you will never catch up again in the expressway?

whahhaa.. chill chill.. but den again i prefer pick up and top end.. both balanced..

yeah, to each individual itself. But I will be most gladly told them, I had a nice and memorable wedding that cant be forgotten and that was the happiest day of my life. And since then, Ah Pa & Ah Ma were always living in happines. I find it fancy wedding dont need such to the extend unless u r a Big Shot or super rich that live telecast in TV but some big shot very humble, who only hold small ceremony which consists of families and friends. Then again, like u said, up to individual. Heehee

Hello KRR Pilots,

I have a resource for KRR Single seater add on without the purchase of an expensive tail change. It should be afforable and if u fancy for a single seater,u can put it on and if u need to change it back to a two seater,its simply easy.PM me if interested.

any pics ?

1) point accepted & i can accept different opinions & preferences. that is why there are so many different bikes to cater to different needs. my point was made tongue in cheek, so i hope you don't mind.

perhaps you prefer the "top-end", i prefer the "low-end 0~100km/hr" acceleration. it is as different as Usain Bolt's 200m outright top speed vs Messi's acceleration & agility. it is just down to different "taste". Peace.

However, i used to think TP's speed limit as b***s***. Over the years, i realise why...any accidents at 160km/hr MUST be horrendous. people have been killed at half that speed. Just be extra careful.

however, i am also just a silly guy.

2) However, i have to disagree strongly with your second statement. i used to think sportsbike are a waste of time if one do not need to go that fast. i rode naked bikes for many years, tried out cubs, scooters, cruisers & various other types of bikes ( but not scramblers unfortunately )

that is why previously i dared not buy a SP ( saw a nice one at shop ). i thought it must be stupid for a "slow" rider for me. i seldom go above the speed limit anyway so why get one? however, i just happen to buy a KR & i don't even know-why ( FATE ? LOL! )...& regret it the next day, asking myself why the hell did i do it.

after riding it, i realise the sports bike is arguably the "safest" bike anybody should buy. Cons: more maintain costs & petrol cost compared to a cub, lack of storage space compared to scooter, more hassle compared to naked bike. in addition, a top box mades it very ugly so making bringing things around difficult...BUT NOW FOR THE PROS...

PROS:

- HANDLING around difficult corners.

- AGILITY out of SUDDEN TROUBLE.

- BRAKING at speed to AVOID UNEXPECTED TROUBLE

- TURNING at speed

- ACCELERATION OUT OF DANGEROUS TROUBLE.

- STABILITY at speed &

- Overall enjoyment of it's ABILITY

it is not for everyone i concede but i end up with the regret that i should have GOT 1 SOONER.

let me explain, try having a cruiser turning fast at slow sharp corners ( read the "CBR150R" thread on "xxratedxx"'s "accident" ) Try out just a highway 120km/hr on a small scooter or modded spark & you will know what i mean. that is why so many guys upgrade to bigger bikes even though the speed they actually ride most of the time is the same!

So contrary to popular belief, i found the sportsbike was way more "sensible" & "enjoyable" than i thought even for a "slow" rider like me. That is what i liked about my KR & changed my views on sportsbike completely around !

try "lousier" ( no names here in case i get banned ) bikes & you will realise the difference. like the difference between BT39 & IRC tyres. BOTH can also go 160km/h but which will you rather have ?

some big scooters / cruisers ( class 2 / 2a ) can also go 200, but i rather do a "slower" 150 on a properly designed sportsbike than 200 on something else. Sometimes it is due to "geometry" ( copied from other posters )

EDIT: as i was used to having a top box ( bigger than desmond's ) for so many years on my previous bikes...i don't mind the looks so i put a 2nd hand bracket on the bike, intending to get a top box. After riding KR, i learn so much about handling & stability. the bike is responsive, sensitive & gives me lots of feedback. i realise for SAFETY / AGILITY reasons rather than looks, i took out the bracket, abandoning the idea of box. A sportsbike "taught" me so much in just a few months even for a "old" rider like me. i even took out my old top-box on my unsold ( selling at end of year, anyone interested? ) old bike ! Handling & agility improved instantly on a bike i have rode for the past 11 years !

sorry, i apologize to all for turning it into a "therapy" / "money" / "family" thread. i think i must really control my mouth from now on. Me & my silly big mouth. i will try my best to stick to KR.

anyway, i believed i have seen your bike around redhill area a few times or am i wrong?

bro, i am sorry to appear to have impose my views on you. You are right, everyone thinks differently. i cannot say that i must be right.

all i intended was to just clarify that there is another side to "us" vs "me" debate. i find others like to say you are "selfish" & need to think about "us". ( better not tell you what i really think about people who use those words too freely on others to get their way. might kena gun down ). I just want everyone to calm down & think "outside the box". "WHY" are you doing what you are doing. it is what you really want to do or it is due to "the norm" & "everyone is doing it". Sometimes things are not what they seem on the surface.

never mind, just ignore all my stupid "twisted" logic, after all i have to admit i am a weirdo.

lolx.. no worry bro.. But bottom down.. personal preference, I wan to settle down..

and in my own opinion since 18, bike is never safe.. we are always one leg in coffin once we start our engine and ride off.. lolx..

***just to tell you.. i have this "mindset" alot of time while riding.. thinking, all the what if(s).. whahhaa...

1) what if my chain break?

2) what if my piston jam

3) what if my front or back wheel SUDDENLY loosen and fly off?

4) what if the front car suddenly jam brake and i can't change lane in time?

5) what if that stupid truck infront of me never tie his "poles" good enough and they fly towards me?

6) what if i die?

7) what if i suddenly forget how to ride/balance my bike?

WHAHHAA... That's the differences between you and me.. I think really alot..

ever since I was 5.. these questions just come.. My mom was puzzled when i asked her these.. whahaha..

1) how does human come?

2) why do each of us look different?

3) why human called human?

4) why we can eat animal and not de other way round

5) why we have 5 fingers and not 6? why 2 eyes, why not 3?

5) up there in the sky, what's beyond there?

Last but not least.. I think really alot.. even while riding.. I'll plan and route the way on how and this and that.. estimation..

No worries bro...I dun mind. I understand all of us have our viewpoints and perspectives. We are here to discuss, debate,argue and rebutt about topics on krr. No matter how fierce the discussion, it is nothing personal. We can agree to disagree while still learning and taking back the good pointers of each discussion. Everybody has something to learn from each other no matter how inexperienced or experienced. Peace. Out.

lolx..

lolx.. no worry bro.. But bottom down.. personal preference, I wan to settle down..
and in my own opinion since 18, bike is never safe.. we are always one leg in coffin once we start our engine and ride off.. lolx..

***just to tell you.. i have this "mindset" alot of time while riding.. thinking, all the what if(s).. whahhaa...
1) what if my chain break?
2) what if my piston jam
3) what if my front or back wheel SUDDENLY loosen and fly off?
4) what if the front car suddenly jam brake and i can't change lane in time?
5) what if that stupid truck infront of me never tie his "poles" good enough and they fly towards me?
6) what if i die?
7) what if i suddenly forget how to ride/balance my bike?

Last but not least.. I think really alot.. even while riding.. I'll plan and route the way on how and this and that.. estimation..

i used ( keyword is "used" long time ago, now no fit only fat lol! ) to be very fit in my youth. however i "suddenly" got backache & pains after driving company lorry in 1998. but pain is slight & as i was still young & fit, i went on with life, not letting it affect me.

when i got "old" & less fit in my early 30s...problem suddenly become BIG. i fought back & solved my problem.

Moral of the story: TAKE CARE OF THE RIDER ( HEALTH ). just as much if not MORE than you take care of your bike. RIDER > bike.

i recalled that you told me you got the pain from driving incident in your NS days? see, driving is not exactly "pain-free"!

all these "sudden" things can also happen in a car too...& got many people die & injured from driving a PERFECTLY GOOD CONDITION CAR...so again nothing is guaranteed.

ALL MY PAST ACCIDENTS ON 2 WHEELS / 4 WHEELS happened when i was thinking about other things when i am riding ( work stress, family stress, sexy girl ). Moral of the story: FOCUS ON THE ROAD ALWAYS! even i forget that sometimes. always remind. better to end up in the wrong place / route than the wrong "world" , right?

sorry, i apologize to all for turning it into a "therapy" / "money" / "family" thread. i think i must really control my mouth from now on. Me & my silly big mouth. i will try my best to stick to KR.

anyway, i believed i have seen your bike around redhill area a few times or am i wrong?

i dun c anything wrong!!

Anyway, I have the same case as you last time. My fc drop till 20km/litre. I tried:

1. Pump tyres 230kpa each.
2. Service carburator and change smaller jetting than stock
3. Full service

Nothing work because my block is old and got minor scratches. So compression gone. So I changed block and piston.($650) total. FC shoot up to 28-34km/litre. My advice is maybe u try full service(to see if your block is old and got scratches) or piston ring wear out(piston ring have an impact on fc when I read online). During full service, also ask them change to stock setting if your's is not stock. (Main 270 pilot 22.5). After full service, see if your FC improved. If never improve, standby $650, contact me we go change block and piston. Hahaha.

i know this is an old topic, but i am currently i still investigating & analysing & i suspect Eno, you may be right after all !...my engine do sound different from previously. However, l suspect all the "wear & tear" is due to "not-obeying-what-the-engine-wants-stupidly-up-speed-suddenly-when engine still cold"..."stupid-unnecessary-suddenly-hard-reving-immediately-after-kickstarting cold bike-stationary-no gears engaged-common among mechs".

i have no problems when riding it everyday. every time, after spending time in garage, bike comes back rougher even when i was around all the time! mechs no touch engine, just rev & rev & engine suddenly become "rough". knn

it is not 1 but many different mechanics all same pattern one...

No proof so case is still investigating.

btw, after just starting the bike at start of the day, rev very long & hard for 5+ minutes but still many white smoke. However, if i just "start & go", after just 1~2km, no more white smoke ! stationary rev-ing in neutral appears to be useless. Just move & take it easy macam better results ie. less smoke, more smooth.

increasing your revs "gently" better. turn key, kick start, "test sound" by reving hard to max IMMEDIATELY is like trying to murder the engine. At least that is how the engine screams like "MURDER!" everytime the bloody mechanics push too hard too fast. they no patience one, if "spoil" ah ? just change block & piston lah! knn, grr...

however on the highway, with gears engaged & running for some time, high revs seems to be less problematic. so it may not be our ( riders ) fault.

i got no proof yet so no confirm but very "high suspect".

we are not pro ( motogp / SBK ) racers, rev so hard never mind, can change 3~6 engines in 1 season ! we where got so much $$$ ? rev like that, i also no become rossi leh.
