kips engine more smooth than sp

 

i changed both front and rear, was quoted $160 but bargained till $155, think you can try HKL for cheap tyres...should be around $150 for a pair

but more noisy than SP as well..

 

well it seems like HKL things r real cheap compared to other places, should go down and take a look 1 of these days...

like wat ddaniel says lor... depends whether u like e sitting posture or not... last time i was riding phantom but just change recently to KRR, still cant quite get used to it....

miss my phantom...

hm

the previous owner for my bike kind of sliced the cushion of the seats thinner

so the posture for my bike seems to be different from others by abit...

i found it more comfortable

hehez....

ya correct, for sportsbike we corner by mainly using bodyweight...whereas cruisers corner mainly by turning handle bar and abit of bodyweight

so have u achieved the level whereby no need turn handle bar for U-turn?

tt900 soft mah... wear out faster~

tt900gp soft meh? i've been using it for quite some time and its still ok... but the compound has turned hard which is the bad news.

 

but i feel bt39ss would be better cos its more stickier den tt90gp...

120 seem abit big for kips wor...usually kips take 110...i currently using dunlop tt900gp, been serving me well

there isn't a 110/80-17 Rear profile for KRR. Are u using a front tyre as a rear?

eh huh. 110 front and 130 rear? Dude, yr tyre profile is seriously way to big. Suggest that u change it.

Guys, Bigger tyres doesn't mean its better. alright?

i 2nd that... 110 for front is way too big manz... and 130 rear...

 

i'm on a 120 rear which i feel is good enough... my front is 70/80 if i remember correctly.

 

 

the difference on a bigger tyre is ur cornering is more stable den tyres of small size like 110...and you need more strength to pull ur bike down.

Wrong... Its doesn't give u a stable cornering if u'r on bigger tyres. That's a misconception many bikers has. In fact, its harder to corner down on a 120 profile rear for KRR. Not to mention 130 rear.

so do u feel a difference after u changed ur tyre?

ddaniel : still a bit waxy so am more careful now lor but it brings u down the corner and definitely more secure feeling when u take a corner. 120 rear recommended keke any only $20 diff fr 110 might as well take 120. my IRC tyre kinda scary, think i kinda skidded but didn't realise it as it was slight

 

Irvin : cost me $180 ie 170 for the pair of tyres fr HKL and 10 for the air valve

 

Zlord : 120 is not too big, er think someone got 130 here but kinda too big rite? i like big tyres keke 'cos it gives an impression of 'stablity' but that's not entirely true. used to ride tuono with rear tyre of 160 that's why
