Kawasaki KRR150 Riders

[DerFuhrer]

rubber seal? I long time nv pop by this thread liao.

 

Congrats my brother! The last time we ride together was in 2008!!

[lamshah]

Nvm lah, just post only. At least I don't go to the extend of giving links. Just point him to the right direction and ask him find out himself.

 

 

 

170km before reserve is bad. Haha, typically should be around 230-280km(assuming she doesn't weigh a lot and don't whack a lot).

 

$700 for COE 5 years is a bit undervalued. Now 10 years COE is abt 2k plus. So it should be $1k for 5 years COE.

 

Based on your problems stated, I just give your my opinion. Sometimes we need to check what's actually causing the problem before we say the word overhaul. (although overhaul solves most prob, haha). Some problems need to overhaul, some can be solve or partially solved without overhaul. 170km before reserve? I really suspect the bike is heavily modified cause even with a old, scratched block that I used to have, my fc was 200km at the very least.

 

Modified bikes, maybe they use a different carburetor setting(bigger main jet which means bigger fuel intake) or even using different carburetor like keihin or UMA. Standard carb is mikuni with main jet 270 and pilot 22.5.

 

Next, higher fc should be also due to using big bore block or ported block. Maybe your gf got a KR that was heavily modified that's why the fc is so bad.

 

Anyway, top overhaul(change block and piston) cost about $600-$700 while bottom overhaul I dunno the cost cause I haven't do yet. Assume u do a full overhaul(top and bottom), u will be spending like 1.2k-1.5k maybe? And another 1k for that 5 years COE. So total u spend is like 2.5k. But, you'll be assured of a 'new engine' that can go at 280-330km before reserve. It can also last the 5 years if she's intending to stay with KR for 3-5 years.

 

But for now, pump the front and back tyre first. Just use 240kpa back and 220kpa front. It can save u 10-20km of fuel.

 

wow! that's good advice. but some say not worth it cos must consider coe renewal too. i not sure wat to do now, still waiting for more opinions. i cnt afford to fork out money if i knoe this bike is way too bad inside..

 

so, tyre pressure can influence pertol consumption too?

[Jundeang]

get a ktm 300 while waiting for coe to drop. u get the best of both world.. ^^

[lamshah]

just my 2 cents of comment first hor.. depending on individual..

 

1) noisy + white smoke alot = noisy-is it tong pipe? what kind of noisy you referring to? White smoke alot-settings + jettings might be wrong..

2) dun just go overhaul as it might not resolve your problem.. Go to your preferred bike shop and ask.. if scare tio "chop" go Planet at Ubi.. Their pricing is normal.. but at least.. they dun chop people.. **bad points about Planet: waiting time long + dirty! lolx..

3) Even if you brought a 2nd hand KR.. It might not be as good as you wan.. Might be worse or better.. Correct?

 

nop, the pipe stnadard i checked. but wat i know the sound dont seem like mod. cos her rpm ratio to speed is low. like, my 6th gear, my rpm 7, my speed is 130km/h. but hers, 6th gear, rpm 7, only abt 110km/h.

haha yep2 u r right. if i buy another kr, wait another prob to expect. haiz. i m still waiting for more opinions but, thanks for your opinion.

6th gear rpm 7 = 130km/h?.. Sounds like urs is mod or using small sprockets, hers using bigger sprockets.. Noisy mayb stomach is tonged or end can mod or air box mod or meter on either one's kr not working properly

Yup, it affects significant all I can say.

 

Most KR you can find has COE like 3-5 years. Quite hard to find FBA-FBC plates at bikeshops. And definitely u have to pay more than 2-3k plus if u find one. Now that you have one, just renew the COE first. Then slowly do up the bike up. U renew COE 10 years when u want to sell back there's a value.

 

If u sell and buy another KR is still fine. But its quite hard to find a good condition KR. Most of these assholes mod their KR, try here try there. Once bike got a lot of problem, they sell away.

 

6th gear rpm 7 = 130km/h?.. Sounds like urs is mod or using small sprockets, hers using bigger sprockets.. Noisy mayb stomach is tonged or end can mod or air box mod or meter on either one's kr not working properly

 

Yay very much agree. I think its the sprocket sizes. Lamshah should be using 15-37, gf one should be 15-39.

thanks kryul and eno..

FYI, my meter show 110 RPM 7, sprocket is 14-37.. somewhere same as 15-38..

ratio to sped is not low.. her bike's pick up faster den you right? LOL.. if not faster den you, that means settings wrong.. whahah..

renew coe i think 5yrs should be within my budget haha.. i dont think kr got value like after 5 yrs. dont get me wrong, not that i didnt look up on kr. me n gf using standard sprocket. pipe n stomach standard too i checked.. most likely blog potting b4..

 

i did ask my regular mechanic. he said he can check my blog. but den i asked, if blogset all change, after paying ard 700, still same prob how?wt if got prob wit engine? den must fork money again... but icelkips, gd opinion. mechanic must be gd enough to know the real probs...no, engine oil didnt enter blog..still got white smoke. well, i think, i ask the mechanic to check everything, including engine n qoute me the price. this bike is fully paid, n if i get a new bike, no money to buy full cash, most prob instalment. but again, i'm so worried if same prob occur again... i hope this is the best suggestion ever, unless others got better suggestion.

 

eno: good point u have. they 'test' the bike, if not successful, they sell. but then, bike shop also anyhow take, anyhow sell. dont know who to blame.

[garrickchoww]

When you get our KRR, never go faster than your guardian angel could fly. Learn from the elders in here and be humble to all. Ask questions and absorb what is useful and do not discard what is useless.Only then,u can enjoy your ride!!

 

Alrights i will ! Sure! Thanks bro.

[garrickchoww]

U stay at redhill ah? June 15th pass...I think I have a mutual friend who passed around that time also and bringing out his krr150 tomorrow.

 

Yeap bro Redhill.

But i havent go view bike yet.Soon i guess...

[bukitmerah]

The black drops in your exhaust does not reflects that you are a slow rider instead its a normal thing in a 2 stroke bike. Usually it happens when the 2T flow is irregular or too much.

 

yah, my 2T consumption quite high, around 1000~1200km/l only, unlike bugsy's 1500km.

 

6th gear rpm 7 = 130km/h?.. Sounds like urs is mod or using small sprockets, hers using bigger sprockets.. Noisy mayb stomach is tonged or end can mod or air box mod or meter on either one's kr not working properly

 

on my stock speedo, i get around 120km/h on 6th gear 7k rpm, so what is the difference between big & small sprockets?

 

as for FC, many traffic jam = 26km/l, mostly light traffic = 28km/l...aiming for 30+ but so far no success

looks like i will "eventually :P" have to follow Eno's solution liao.

[bukitmerah]

whahhaa.. not slow.. just that too much 2T OR you didn't open more..

 

whahha... cannot eat snake, will tio pop .. i tried to sit 2 hours.. stand up, pain again.. crap...

 

 

old man liaoz.. need to relax abit.. will come in see see at least once a week.. max once a day..

 

 

whahaha... can can.. You diy, I'll guide.. can't touch bike liaoz.. I didn't clean my rims for one month liaoz.. I can't imagine it..

once a week or max once per 2 weeks last time..

 

 

1) tell your boss...doctor say must get up from chair to stretch every 45 mins for maybe 5~10 minutes break to "speed up" recovery, so that next time less mc lah ! i am sure boss will "understand" anyway "can eat snake" & "exercise ( good for you anyway )" at same time, unless you need to meet clients, then don't lah

 

2) didn't clean your rims for 1 month ? hahaha...paiseh, paiseh...me "young man" NEVER cleaned rims / wash any bike in the last 14 years. Planet dirty? Not as "dirty" as me.

 

3) relax more...can live longer & stay "young" like me. ( no offence, bro )

 

edit: desmond, don't blame me for being "low-so" ( long winded )...trust me, you must really "train" your back, stomach, THIGHS, KNEES, feet. remember chocolatejay's advice...use it or lose it.

 

i myself have not being following my own advice lately due to laziness. Recently, i started slow walking again. 1st time, after just 3km, leg pain back pain. looks like i have start my "training" again after neglecting it for so long. after a few times, 3km no pain.

 

No offence bro but...

 

1st you tell me can ride but cannot walk, then can walk but cannot sit, then can sit but cannot stand...bro, let me tell you if you can just slow walk 2.4km ( No need to run like IPPT ) & suffer no pain through out...i guarentee you ride, walk, sit, stand ALL NO PAIN ( running & jumping excluded )...really simple...see all the old men in the park? taichi, yoga, pilates whatever just do something...sorry ah not trying to be an ******* here, forgive me.

[garrickchoww]

Any bros can tell me what to look out for when gg to view a second hand krr from a shop?

I heard e engine mainly...

Like listen for knocking sounds...and all that.but actually dont know how...

is it ever possible to go alone? i think cant right...

[Jundeang]

look ard diff shops. becareful of those out the the era mods.. those 2 yrs ago batches riders will know what i mean.. the kr i bought back then came w krK or something like that model fork and brake calipers.. 1st generation kr.. parts cannot even be found in sg or msia.. tried to go back to the shop to ask about it, the sales guy just told me "idk, sell u liao now den u ask me how i know"

 

*thumbs up for excel*

1) whahaha.. he understand.. but stand up from my desk only.. can't walk far.. whahaha...

 

2) I mean.. in my opinion.. for someone like me who clean weekly to bi-weekly.. 1 month never clean.. body feel unwell also.. whahaha.. let's see if i use the rim cleaner and try.. whahaha...

 

3) yup yup.. i do hope so..

 

bro.. i tried walk 10km (around there lah) but no pain hor.. when reach home.. sit da** pain again.. you get the point? it's about the bones/joints that required sitting/standing position change.. not the muscles and etc..

 

I'm training in process.. dun worry..

 

Yea. No problem.

err.. It's possible to go alone.. but TRUST ME.. go alone + rush will lead to no where.. you need someone to guide you.. because whatever the owner say.. you will go "orhh orhh orhh" whahahha!!

I think 26-28km/l is already good. Hahaha. Don't spend too much just to get 2km/litre more.

hey your fc very gd! when i first time take kr, it was like that. main tank up to 350km, reserve tank 60km haha.. but if another 2stroke bike pass by u cannot play lah hahaha

[adesmond2]

I think 26-28km/l is already good. Hahaha. Don't spend too much just to get 2km/litre more.

 

YEA LOR.. Mine only 18~MAX MAX 22km/L..

lolx.. yup yup.. my first 3 months.. something like yours.. main tank can reach 320km den go into reserve.. *never try how much reserve can go thru.. whahaha...

and yup.. last time people overtake me nia.. I dun overtake people.. lolx..

[bugsy_]

i got 27km/l for vpower and 30km/l for petronas 97. funny le coz my prev top service my mech say my block not in good shape but to me 27-30km/l is good. dont know whether isi it because i ride too conservatively. usually change gear ard 5.5 rpm for normal riding and the once in while whack. usually you guys up gear at what rpm for normal riding?
