So far I've never been to any mp3 outings and about the ''how much for full tank?'', i bet you are refering to the price right.... anyway, i pump about 9 litres whenever mine reaches reserve and I dun pump till full though. And it comes to about 9 litres multiplies by whatever the current price of petrol.....

hi guys! jux wanna ask a noob question, have anyone try gng down a kerb on his mp3? will the bike topple? since there is two wheels in front. Also, if your bike is on uneven road, both front wheels will not be on the same height on the ground. lets say 1 wheel on high ground 1 wheel on low ground, what is the max diff both wheels can go?

Tried going down a kerb and it can be done with ease but let say at an angle, i dun really quite know coz never tried before. And about the height difference, that's really chim man..... I believe I saw a pic of an mp3 sometime back which was parked alongside a kerb with one wheel up on it and the other on the road...... anyway, why do you ask about this......

[contrarian]

The answer is a very big difference in the height of the two wheels is possible. More than you can use if you're talking about one wheel on the kerb.

Oh coz my area here too many bikes, parking lotes limited so half of the time have to park on kerbs

so when gng down kerbs, is it possible to go down 1 wheel after the other? will peng anot? thought of getting one man.

when the first wheel get off the kerb the front of your bike will dip slightly, around half the kerb's height. when the other wheel get off the kerb the front end will dip another half-kerb's height. it won't topple unless you have the tilt lock on and you are pushing your bike instead of riding it off the kerb.

 

the height difference between the two front wheels is a lot, probably more than 10 inches. so if you have one wheel on the road and one on a kerb that's 10" high, the bike can still be upright.

Wow! that solve my worries of the MP3! Will drop by piaggio one of these days, very tempting to change one....

[blackpiper]

Anyone personally tried before going down kerb sideways?

[two wheels]

have not tried going down "sideways" (don't exactly know what you mean) but i try to avoid going off the kerb too parallel to the road. you can scrape the suspension struts on the kerb on your way down. best is to go down both wheels together or at least point the wheels out towards the road before rolling it off the kerb.

hi mp3 riders,

can i ask how do you secure your bike in malaysia??

because i love touring and considering fazer 6 or mp3 400, i like mp3 for the comfort and extra wheel, but how to lock it??(btw is there immobilizer ? )

usually i will lock the swingarm of my bike.

[two wheels]

yes there is an immobilizer. handlebar and parking brake are locked at the ignition key. that means once the handlebar lock is engaged you can't release the parking brake, making it impossible to roll the bike anywhere. and the mp3 400 weighs 240 kg.

[patrick1131]

good good ~~ that means the only way to steal it is by carrying it away ,which weights 240kg??

[netic]

thanks for all the help again!! just cant wait til end of the month!! wow yipee!!!!

[two wheels]

dudes, wat are your 0-100 times on the 125/250/400?

[blackpiper]

good good ~~ that means the only way to steal it is by carrying it away ,which weights 240kg??

Dont be surprised if even an mp3 at 240kg could be stolen (by whatever means)..... we are talking about parking bikes across the causeway. Anything can happen up there.

[blackpiper]

dudes, wat are your 0-100 times on the 125/250/400?

You mean timings for 0 to 100 km/h?

[two wheels]

You mean timings for 0 to 100 km/h?

 

yup. how many seconds have you tried? i saw some Youtube videos and they show the speedo just climb and climb and i guess it's around 6 seconds for the 400. i've not tried it personally though.

[netic]

3 days ago, i saw a guy riding with glasses, mp3 sky blue at bishan with his girlfriend, wondering he is anyone in forum??
