good to hear that.. Maybe can meet up cause I'm running in.. LOL..

[Raptor]

alvin, i thought we are both 25?

 

why singapore so like that? i see on net, europe 50+ yr-old ang mo also riding 1000cc sportsbike, they see that as normal, sg under 30 already say "old" lol ( sorry sorry sorry des bro )

 

wah, even lao hero Li Nanxing also come out & repeat super old show...days of Centrepoint Kids & Marina Kids, now i no more marina kid, now i more like fat uncle already

 

 

 

 

I am 54 years old. Have been riding for the past 36 years and am still riding now.

 

I am currently racing a DRZ400SM and a KR150RR at Pasir Gudang in the BRS Races.

 

Have just begun practising at the track on the CBR600RR that I just got. I intend to race the bike next year.

 

There are alot of 'old' guys racing and standing on the podium at Pasir Gudang..... go see for yourself at one of these races. Round 4 of the BRS races is on 18 Sep 2011.

 

Age is never a factor when your passion for motorcycles and racing is strong enough.

Err.. if we use 15-37? No port nothing.. Jet size will be? (top end/dun need pick up)

 

Shuld be main 275-280, pin, ~27.5 or isit 2,75??? Not sure where the decimal is.. Haha

 

Lol. Battlax is a soft compound road tires. Its good for krr. Racing slicks has nothing to do with "slickier" lol. I haven't tried others.

 

Use bt39 frnt n bt90 110/70 behind for cornering... Those race at pasir gudang use these tyres.. 120 rear i think too big=heavy=more petrol. Personal opinion. Anw bt39 is medium compound.. Bt90 soft.

haha.. okok.. 275-280 main, air 27.5..

thanks..

[garrickchoww]

What u mean by running in?U pass by often?

[garrickchoww]

How do u all put pics under signature there? mind teaching..i use flickr but cant seem to work man

[gutripper]

What u mean by running in?U pass by often?

 

LOL! He just overhauled his bike I think so he is "running in" the new parts. It is like trying to get the parts seasoned to each other by riding a certain amount of mileage at certain speeds.

 

good to hear that.. Maybe can meet up cause I'm running in.. LOL..

 

Might be meeting him tonight. Wan to drop by?

Yup.. running in new parts..

 

Nah.. not tonight.. mostly tml if my gf give me off.. whahaha!!

[boi_17]

What u mean by running in?U pass by often?

 

Most probabaly he changed his block and piston...In other words he have to ride slow, cannot go above 90km/h till he finish about 5 full tank, let the piston and block sink well.

 

And did u like park ur bike at the the small lorong inbetween redhill shell and mosque ar-rabita on 16/8/11 about 8.15pm ???!!

If that is u NICE KR BRO !!!! FASTER PUT P-PLATE later kenna summon. HAHAHAHA !!!

[bukitmerah]

 

cos 2a/2 tires need more rubber to make ma.

 

 

not always true that more material = higher price. eg. bikini is less cloth = more $$$ pricey.

UP ! UP ! UP ha ! 1000000% AGREE ! you ROCK !

 

i am ONLY a "young" 36 , when i buy kr, so many people say i am too "old" for sports bike ! why so much such "pre-mature ageing mentality" in singapore? i have never been to track & probably will only go when i have "made it" in life...when i am "rich" enough to afford it, well at least to me it sounds more exciting than "rich" men playing golf ?

 

Use bt39 frnt n bt90 110/70 behind for cornering... Those race at pasir gudang use these tyres.. 120 rear i think too big=heavy=more petrol. Personal opinion. Anw bt39 is medium compound.. Bt90 soft.

 

hoot! thanks for info. however i have seen 2b ( eg. a Mito & others ) bikes using thick class 2 tyres before, steady as a rock but heavy...trade-off again.

 

lol about the "running in". well, at least someone has already explained it...

I decided to try try another 2T and just bought Castrol Power 1 Racing. Any bros who used it b4 can give me some comments? I read the label and it says it is "fast burning". So will it be consumed faster than my usual Motul 710? Is there a big difference between Power 1 Racing and the normal Castrol Power 1 for normal day to day riding and whacking occassionally, other than price?

 

i am using the cheaper Castrol Power 1 ( semi-syn ) from LAB feels quite GOOD actually for me but it is NOT the racing type ( fully syn ). have not tried the racing type nor motul as they are above my budget.

 

Personal experience from 2T usage ( no i have no scientific proof , "uncle" no study lah ), the cheaper the 2t ( mineral ) usually last very long but engine feels more rough & more white smoke.

 

if semi-syn better than mineral. fully syn better than semi-syn. Racing better than fully-syn...i found that more expensive "better" 2t usually give better protection , engine feels smoother especially after just starting up. white smoke also lesser.

 

However, just like the case of tyres ( traction grip vs more distance ) / sprockets ( pick-up vs top-end )...there is a trade-off ( price to pay ) for everything...the 2t usually "burn faster" as in higher 2t consumption coupled with the higher $ price to start off with means a lot more $$$ fly away...

 

warning...if motul is as good as the price warrants, you may be too used to the "best" oil, any other oil will feel "suck". eg. some guys tried the most high-end expensive motul 4t & then when they switched to cheaper 4t, feel others no so good. for people who never used motul before, they say others ok leh. eg. tiger after tasting meat, no like to eat grass anymore, but goat no eat meat say grass is nice what, get it?

Hmmm...10cents difference per litre liddat lor. For about 1 dollar more per top-up I get a better pickup and smoother. It's really up to personal preference. For krr....92 also can use. No problem one.

haha.. not really..

I'm not sure on other brands as I only tried Motul and one japanese brand for the past 3 years +..

Japanese brand is better but no longer available it's meant to keep your Engine as cool as possible..

Motul 300v and 7100, 300v is $30 or $32 (makes your bike lighter)

7100 $28 (change gear more smooth)

But I still prefer 7100.. even 300v is the more "premium" one.. I guess each of us knows what's best for our bike...

Yo bro.. 2T, if you dun wack above RPM 9, semi is ok..

Depending on how u ride den determine your 2T.. if you wan to buy those $5 one also possible.. dun wack above rpm 7.. lolx.. my friend's piston jam because he buy $5 2T (thinking he's going to sell off his bike the next day) wack today, piston jam at RPm8.. LOL..

 

Fuel grade depends on how responsive your bike will become.. *no damage to extremely little damage on petrol.. as we have our 2T pump to feed our piston 2T..

Use Motul 710 2T and can whack to RPM 12-13 without jamming like me =D

[adesmond2]

price up again..

 

Use Motul 710 2T and can whack to RPM 12-13 without jamming like me =D

 

whahaha... sort of?

But better not, to decrease wear and tear.. hahaha..

tried 95 & 98 on my kr, can't really tell the difference. However last time on previous old bike, 92 & 95 got VERY BIG difference. 92 makes my old bike "vibrate" & "shake" a lot with many white smoke, long journey get wrist pain. stick to 95 & NO problems at all. So i dare not use 92 on my kr so far. Maybe it is my previous bike was too old but i won't risk it. sticking to at least 95. maybe it won't make a difference if your bike is in good condition.

woah bro, the Motul "7100?" you used is like MORE than the total costs of my 2T & 4T & spark plug combined with still got some change left to buy kopi for mechanic.

 

300v so EXPENSIVE ah? It better be super bloody good then!

so big differences in budget we are talking about.

 

when i just got my bike, it was on mineral 2t that lasted me A LONG WAY around 1800+ km but the engine "screams" above 8k rpm so i "Just Let Go"...some more valve will sometimes jam. however when i change to semi-syn 2t, valve "automatically" "clears" by itself, i didn't do anything at all ! ( you know my bo chap pattern, i know nothing about fixing bikes )

 

when the bike "don't want", don't force. i just let it go. So if only using for transport, should not be a problem. maybe your friend want to "hard hard come" force the bike to go fast, so bike cannot tahan.

 

must treat bike like girl mah, she "don't want", don't "force" lah

 

Use Motul 710 2T and can whack to RPM 12-13 without jamming like me =D

 

paiseh, it means i shouldn't have answered your question, i have never gone above 9k ( even that is very rare for me ) so i am not qualified to tell the differences when at high "red-line" rpms.

imo no need to use till 300v. even the guy from motul said 7100 is good enough for high performance bike for street use. unless you like go track and bike will be damn hot. then i think 300v will be useful.

to think that you also like me. never gone above 9k. nowadays ppl like us very rare le lor. haha.
