Interesting point for technical discussion. I have noticed older models of KRR (Don't know much riders riding new ones) having slight problems with shutting of the valves. Initially, I thought it could be due to carbon buildup but I may be forced to concede that the problem could lie elsewhere (Example: centrifugal governor). Just a simple poll, who had the "carbon clearout" servicing session and solved the problem and who had to pay more for to get something changed before the problem went away?

i clear carbon and the weak throttle no more for like 2 wks? den come back. yupz.

Oei! Contact bernard.... he lost your contact number and told me to tell you that your GP standard brake pads have arrived.

haha.... he's too late! i left 1 month to 2a liao....

budget is low also due to some misc repair work i did...

 

tell him i'm really sorry...

i'll come over and change pads "after sepang".....

 

on an sv400...

[A3roSmith]

well... as someone who rides a newer bike... i've noticed sometimes when i close throttle the rpm goes down very slowly, i assume this is the symptom of jammed valve....

 

but it only happens at very high rpms on NSH. 8k+. i've never experienced it in singapore.

[A3roSmith]

btw guys, if you're wondering wtf we're talking about, DP HH brake pads are available for KRR at vector one. they claim its supposedly better than EBC HH.

 

and on the side i'll just like to share a very good experience i had at combine motor here...

ya loh... i heard the mechanic said before, clearing the carbon for valve is only the outside, but inner of the valve are still full of carbon.... cant be clear de... i duno hw true it is.. but jus hear loh..

guys i gt a prob wif my kips, when im at my 6th gear, sometimes the "top" light will appear and sometimes it will not appear. is it got sometin to do wit the bulb or the wiring. and also, i did my full service 1.5 months back, and when sometimes i wanna drag my 2nd or 3rd gear, its very hard for me to go above 7k rpm. but when in the fourth gear, it wun be a prob. wads wrong wid it? and btw any kippers rode to kl before? coz me planning to go to kl wif my kips. one of my fren travel to kl usin his kips and he told me he changed spark plug 8 times. how come so many spark plug change? and wad must i nid to prepare to go to kl beside 2t? :giddy:

My KRR also the 'top' light sumtimes have, sumtimes dun have...i think i figured out y... must hit a certain rpm then then top light will appear...say for example u change gear at 4 rpm til 6 gear...then wun have light...this is wat i noticed dunno if it applies to yr prob or not...jst trying to help...

no the chain is not moving...the vibration of the bike itself makes the chain vibrate,(chain too loose that's y)

wah

canot be lar

where got shake until so fierce one

u put one cup of water on yr bike also u dont see the water spill out right?

so yr chain cant be making noise when yr bike not moving marhz

 

anyway juz get some shop to tighten the chain lor

once the lifespan of the chain has reached

then it's time for new chain

hmz..reasons i can tink of for

TOP light never light up either due to:

1. loose wiring/connection either at sensor or at meter bulb

2. faulty sensor

 

long riding trips to msia u can consider asking A3rosmith

but one thing would be that cant be use so many spark plug as yr friend said

what spark plug he use? those cheapo type? or decent ones like NGK?

spark plug wont fail so easily as long as the bike has got the correct tuning/setting

and IMO....i tink u can probably maintain ard 110-120KMPH on the bike nia...anything higher could be risky (personally feel 2B bikes not meant to travel too fast i.e 140-150KMPH for too long distances)

and travelling at higher RPMs for long distances could result in numbs in fingers

if you clean valve only and never open block there will still be carbon around your piston head right?

 

if you wanna do it right i guess u have to do it all... valve, block n exhaust belly.

The top light should light up even when you're not moving but at 6th gear..

[A3roSmith]

jt9d : its probably something wrong with your sensor. cos i've never had a problem getting the light to light up at any rpm. the sensor is in the side panel right next to the gear lever, quite easy to open up.

 

riding to kl isn't as hard as it sounds, but it isn't that easy either. most of it is common sense, keep the bike in good condition before you go. just make sure to watch your 2t and coolant levels and top up at petrol station when needed... you will def need to top up 2t at least once or twice during the entire trip. i like to carry a 500ml bottle of petronas semi-syn just in case u run out of 2t in the middle of nowhere.

 

other things you might like to take note are your front and back suspension, the roads can be bumpy n filled w potholes and our suspension can spoil easily. i once went on a trip with a spoilt suspension, it was very dangerous and i didn't enjoy it at all.

 

speedwise i would prefer to go a bit slower. this might be a bit hard though esp if not going alone. most vehicles on NSH will also be going faster than 120. also watch out for strong crosswinds since kips is very light, and the heavy traffic as you approach kl itself.

 

ur friend probably has some problems with his spark plug or the plug cable, i can go there and come back using $4 denso plug... no prob

[yOngiEe]

guys, wanted to ask wads the diff between chain spray and chain wax ?

and btw how long you spray once

What's wrong with the original carb jet sizes in the first place?

Hey there. Ermmm its not about the original jet sizes being wrong, just wana enquire as to what the initial settings were.

 

Do u happen to know?

carbon bulid up is 1 thing the rubber cover obstructs the cooling of valves plus the

 

plates grooves caused by wear and tear slows the valves rotating

 

had them removed for awhile the feelin sensational but afraid of debris gettin in-

 

between so LL put them back

does any1 noe the price?

 

 

Thks!

- service valve $60 ringgit

-change harder spring with clutch pad+labour costs $120 ringgit

-de-carbon exhaust $80 ringgit

 

out of curiosity why harder spring

ah........ i managed to reached jb's sentosa from esso gp in 10-15 mins time

 

travelling above 180km plus no problem at all to the kips its a walk in the park

 

for the bike ( make sure the brakes and tyres in good condition )

 

as for the numbness the big balancers will save you from that
