I know it might be found somewhere in the few hundred pages of this thread...

but I too lazy to scroll through all.

 

The questions are:

Understand that the standard rear tyre for the KR150 is 110. I am sure some of you have put on 120s.

 

I would like to know what is the effect of putting a bigger rear tyre on the bike?

 

Is the top speed affected? If so, by how much?

 

What about the straight line handling at high speeds? Stable or wobbles?

 

Was there a need to change the sprockets to more teeth to compensate for the bigger tyre profile?

 

Thanks for reading and your kind replies.

wah big bro v concern for his lil sister

 

u want a female's perspective? keke

top speed - my stock bike can only max 180 n my tire was 120 rear. handling at high speed haha machiam like want to fly off like tat n esp kerna cross wind feels being swept easily. no need to change sprockets but i think it's more impt to get better brakes n hoses. stock brakes cannot really makan, a bit scary. didn't feel much diff btw 110 and 120 actually just that 120 makes the bike a lil bit higher only. was using bt039 and has served me well - v gd for corners keke....

 

just a my 2 cents worth from a newbie............

hmm no idea? anyways to improve ur bike's performance, clean ur piston,piston rings and power valves once in awhile. the best is if you can diy, but let me tell u its not an easy job. i've just changed my cylinder and piston and my bike now runs fooking smoothly. the mech also advised to use a good quality 2t. i've been using those cheap ones ($6-$10) and saw the state of my power valves. not a pleasing sight i can assure you. lesson learnt.

but my battery... anyone care to debate ont his matter?? coz i thought battery only for those electrical stuff like lights..

 

btw, i forgot to ask on the brand of spark plug he change to. for future references, wat brand of spark plug are gd??

before the bike is start the battery is in-charged of providing spark to the plug as

 

electrodes are stored in battery water therefore no battery water no spark thus

 

causing kick-starting a up-hill task

 

be it NGK or DENSO or CHAMPION as long same heat range will do

 

too cold carbon build-up too hot pre-dotonation

 

cultivate the habit of changing spark plug and engine oil,servicing the valve

 

monthly this will benefit more than anything
