hi guys! just bought a krr for $3200 FV plate......dunno how to mantain the bike....

can teach a few tactics?!

tyres and brake pads are your top priority

 

kips usually run on bridgestone bt-39 rubbers front 90/80-17 rear 120/70-17 try

 

LAB or HKL

 

pads can use SBS about $20 bucks for a pair

 

the rear brake is relatively weak so change the rear first

 

if can afford the dough try HEL brake hose cost $150 for front and rear u never

 

regret it FYI i didnt

 

the rest take your time get use to the ride first

 

last but not least enjoy kips the 'pocket rocket'

 

HEEEEEE-HA HI HO SILVER

But if you sand hor, won't it become thinner and thinner then 1 day it become 1 hole?

 

The exhaust is black? It looks greyish to me.. Wait buy liao, patches of black everywhere..

no need to use all the milk-drinking strength to sand marh

juz sand away the rust can already

 

if dont wan patches of black...then spray the whole pipe

hm...juz to add on to what the rest have offered:

things u need to do more frequently = topup 2T & tighten chain

followed by change engine oil, spark plug, etc

[rankief]

guys.. how come when i change from gear 1 to 2 at 5k rpm there will b a very loud knock sound..... then from 2 onwards, same rpm no sound one.....

last time now like that leh.....

 

then is it normal that if i tightened my chains, when i ride, there will be lots of sounds from the chain?

Er, what knock sound..? Sounds like metal knocking?

 

For your chain, you shouldn't hear any sound while riding.. You got tighten correctly or did you move the chain in the wrong direction and ended up loosening it?

[rankief]

the knock sound is like when u change down gear with a high speed....

one sound only..

the chain i dunnoe leh.... tried to tightened... the wheels move back... the sound even more....

 

btw wats the tyre pressure for front and back?

[captain_des]

Orh this problem ar.. I used to have it when I tried to drag low gear to pickup faster.. Solution to this, close throttle slowly and change gear smoothly.. Last time is becos I close throttle too fast..

maybe u over tightened yr chain abit

sound frm chain seems somewhat usual to me liao

sometimes louder sometime softer only...depending on the chain slack

how come different description??

one is gear up one is gear down

 

if it's gear down...then u should consider not kicking to gear 1 till yr bike is travelling more slowly...

alternatively..can consider kicking to gear 2 then juz before u need to stop...drop to neutral directly w/o going thru gear 1

or u may juz need a engine oil change

When I had to buy a replacement bike after my last bike was sold, there wasn't really much doubt which bike I should buy. I remembered the very first time I went to Pasir Gudang. I was on my third lap (Starting to feel comfortable) and I was shooting down the grandstand straight (180km+), getting ready to brake & dash into turn one when these 2 guys shot past me and dived into the corner at a speed I could believe. Later when I went back to the pitlane, I walked over to kpo the riders & their machines then I found out that those were the Kawasaki factory machines/riders from Thailand in their KR150 (The very first model).

 

From that day on, I always have them in my mind when I play corner (Something like Playstation's Gran Turismo Ghost mode)....

Before you do that, please go check your battery type just to make sure. Especially if your bike is a used one.

[winner]

what size socket is suitable for pickup and top speed

hmm..my opinion u cant have both very good together..

for rear spocket

high end as low as possible

front end as high as possible

if my memory never fail me for front spocket is the other way round

 

to me i jus jus 39 for rear

aniway if u offen pick up

it will wear out damn fast

high end i tink is not nesscory bah

hahah

 

to me how end and high end is not important

the most imortant is mid range smooth ride

Just open your rider seat, there's a box beside the fuel tank.. You take and see lor, shake shake also can.. If got water inside then is battery water liao.. There should also be a overflow tubing underneath it..
