wah...that's fierce

hahaz

my case was the fella overtake me frm the left when i was in 2nd lane of expressway

then his left hand go onto the right side of the tank dont do what hand signal...c no ball

Maybe his tank leaking fuel and he trying to cover it?

 

When reach traffic light, the lacer was at the front, behind him was a car and I was behind the car (I made the right choice to stay behind this car). He then dunno rev until how many rpm like engine gonna explode, lights green and off he went, leaving behind a thick cloud of 2T smoke, that car's windows were down and the driver was smoking. Guess he got more smoke then he wanted.

original type 520 which is heavier and sluggish u can try type 428 which is thinner

 

and more responsive

 

no need to use O-ring just use heavy-duty will do as the secret lies strength in lbs

 

per sq inch

 

heavy duty is as strong as O-ring if not stronger

Can you elaborate on this?

 

I've been using the stock chain which is not o-ring, I've already tightened it twice (I don't pickup very fast from standstill). Then my uncle told me his o-ring chain use 6 years already haven't even have the need to tighten once.

either the uncle have the bike as week-end transport, does not carry pillion at all

 

or he mix-up the date

 

if the manufacturers made the O-ring to last for 6 yrs what they gonna live on???

 

if my chain last for more than 2 yrs with constant running around i change without

 

hestitation its ugly sight when chain jammed up your swing-arm or flew backward

 

to unlucky chap

 

the website the manufacturers put up of course say until got dragon got phoenix

 

but who doesnt want to

 

your judgement should be made on certain info like private users feed-back mine

 

was confirmed by private ang-mohs who ride the bike on streets as well as track

 

whos gonna cost them a bomb when purchasing parts for bike they even

 

measured the strength of chain accordingly

 

due to fact that kips is small machine having O-ring type 520 affects the throttle

 

response = sluggish ( high petrol consumption )

 

stay with heavy-duty type 428 would be more practical better response less petrol

 

consumed

 

ps: reformatted my pc so lost all my link

 

Back in the 90's my z-kia, tz-kia, lao k,rg-kia etc all using heavy-duty with pillion

 

1 shot bang down 2 gears also like that boh tai-chi

 

the secret of maintaining the chain is lube and tighten often

 

i'm a practical person when comes to money value quote a scenario to u

 

1 O-ring cost $100 against 1 heavy-duty $40-45 if my memory serve me well

 

would u rather have 1 new chain every 3-6 months or just 1 O-ring thru out the

 

year?

[Shockard]

Thanks for the insight.

 

My uncle really has been using his o-ring chain for 6 years, he doesn't ride hard and he uses his bike for transport daily. A distant relative of mine (riding instructor in bbdc) said that a certain make of x-ring chain can last even more than that. I can't comment on the x-ring though, no evidence whatsoever.

[MaNnU]

guys helping ma fren for this questions.. he asked if put Neon or LED llights under sp pillion seat and inside fairing and infront of filter btw front tire and fairing can or not and the rough price for neon bulbs and LEDs.. which is better.. ? .. ty

[Shockard]

Can or not as in legal or illegal? FYI, any colorful stuff on your vehicle that does not come stock is illegal because it might disorient other motorists.

[MaNnU]

ok its illegal but is there a way he can fit tat thing inbtw his front tyre and fairing there ? .. posted in sp thread no one reply so posted here.. tat poor fellow no computer.. lolz.

get DID size 428 + both front and rear sprockets + installation @ LAB for $75

[Nicholas_Yu]

HeyO GuyS,

 

 

i have a little problem here; i think that my rear suspension is kinda soft and the whole bike bounces too much when it goes over humps and uneven road. not to mention, when a pillion gets on the bike, there is a significant dip in the suspension. i understand that the bike definintely has to dip a little, but the question is how much?

 

right now i see 2 possible solutions to my problem. either i find ways to tighten it (if there is any) or i change a new suspension. if it is the latter, how much will it cost roughly and what brand should i look out for?

 

ThanKs

so yr uncle riding what bike huh?

i observed that a normal chain on my ex-honda wave was able to last quite long while before i need to tighten the chain abit...so probably using an o-ring or heavy duty chain is gonna lengthen the period of time before required to tighten the chain

[Jayz_sg]

Hey does any1 noes where is the coolant drain plug for the kips?? and where to find coolant drain solutions? and is engine ice the best coolant ard? how abt motul coolant?...is it available in sg? and is it better coolant then engine ice??? thanks:smile:

[Jayz_sg]

based on disscussion your uncle riding kips??

 

secondly thru out the years i seen uncle under pump their tyres reason being they

 

have more contact patch ( nothing personal ) just being thrifty

 

however i do agreed when tua gu do required O-ring as the bloody down-force of

 

engine sibeh terok (reason why slipper clutch in ZX-10 eliminates wheel lock-up )

 

as i myself is more safety oriented plus sometime 'ki tao hong' which justifies

 

having new of good grade stuff rather than best money could buy stuff for long

 

time but never know when its gonna failed

first of all the rear shock is craps on kips

 

indeed u have 2 solutions go to your trusted mech ask him adjust it harder (

 

increase preload ) your bike rear feels taller

 

had mine increased till the 3 highest so so nia

 

tried the highest wah piang stupid ride hop all over the road

 

second solution u can source for aftermarket but are u gonna benefit from it as

 

how long u intend to own the bike because the respectable good shocks dont

 

come cheap hor

when astride the bike its on the right side of it

 

u see the water pump with hose connecting to the radiator the the lowest screw

 

size 10

 

forget about coolant spore dont need that as winter dont exist here its all about

 

anti-freeze mixture

 

just buy 1 bottle of 1.5 litres of distilled water of any brand will do

 

when draining the coolant remember to tilt the bike to right side while standing on

 

right side with front brake depressed to empty completely ( shake it )

 

u can pour abit of distilled water into the radiator to flush out the remaining coolant

 

after draining screw back in the drain plug pour in the distilled water fill to the

 

brim of your radiator and start the bike without screwing back the radiator cap u

 

can actually see the water level droping as the pump suck in with u reving throttle

 

then pour more water fill to brim

 

screw in radiator cap now and check for leakage at the drain plug ( wipe that area

 

with dry cloth )

 

if got leakage dont ride your bike or u gonna burned your gasket

 

ps: take care when removing and screwing in the drain plug

hah..gd 1

d driver got realise his ciga smoke nt gd enuff boh

nxt time he change to inhale vehicle smoke

 

lolx..i tokin crapz

[Shockard]

He's riding an rxz, changed the chain he moment he got it. Very relaxed and slow rider, 100km/h max on his meter.

 

The CB400 spec 2 that he's gonna get has an o-ring chain, 2+ years haven't tighten.

 

I think it all depends on riding style, if slow and steady, it should last quite long..
