Woah~ race queen!! mayb we can have 1 also kekeke

maybe we can have 1 race queen when we have a meet up

[Guest TachiTJRS]

Hmm....thats an idea ha ha....but seriously, I am open to suggestions for our first inaugural meeting activities. Let's try to make it constructive and fun at the same time. Here's an idea:

 

1) Meetup and introduce each other. (I only met RVF33 and Filbert so far)

 

2) Group cleaning session-those who wanna wash, polish, lube chain, clean fairing etc-the idea is to share knowledge and learn from each other.

 

3) If anyone is interestred, I can share about the history of Honda V4 race and road bikes plus lots of Honda info.

 

4) I will share info on group riding and have an open discussion on advanced & performance riding, with the possibility of organizing a track day.

 

5) Share info on parts, workshops and bike gear (Helmets, apparal,etc)

 

6) And finally after all that........MAKAN!!!!!

FR? I am riding an FR too. 8.5K sounds cheap, but I reckon its in good condition internally. Ask him to look for damages and check the condition mechnically.

er..i beg to differ on some.

 

1st stop SHOULD NOT be somewhere pack. Espeicially Orchard rd during this festive period! our RVFs will scream for fresh air, and my balls will cry for mercy from the generous amount of V4 heat.

 

Clubbing-- Im out. Grew out of it.

 

Sanfu----- DUN GO THERE! enuff said.

er...i think that milage is abit high, no? But FR for 8.3K machine price or OTR?

alot of diff..ask properly from the shop.

 

If OTR and condition is good, take it lor...but try to go for a original color one..higher value.

 

i think a FR is worth 9K+ OTR now right?

[Rvf33]

my milrage only 45k......

alot of ppl said BT090 not so good cos its very slippery during rain and its doesn't grip well in dry too. GPR70 would be recommended by most cos it grips well in wet and dry and its cheap too. Me currently using Pirelli MTR Dragons, quite ex but very good in dry and wet still all rite. Pirelli dragon wears faster cos the tyre pressure always need to maintain. Metzeler MEZ1s' grips as good as pirelli but it last longer.

 

anyone using sportec M1? heard its very sticky but wears very fast. Does it have 150 for rear? Cos my pirelli is 160...

wad is the price for Metzeler MEZ1s' and dunlop along with bt090 ?

 

though many review dunlop are great but personall still trust wif bridgestone,they are great to use in the starting but 1yr later..grip not realli there.. but corner still okie. so wads the first recc type for rvf ?

 

pro n con

 

PRO:

 

Pirelli dragon: great grip in dry or wet

 

Metzeler MEZ1s' : as good as pirellie but last longer

 

bridgestone bt090: good grip in dry.

 

dunlop : cheap, good grip in wet or dry

 

 

CON:

 

Pirelli dragon: thread run out v fast.. need to always maintence tyre pressure

 

Metzeler MEZ1s : ????????????????????

 

bridgestone bt090: some say sucks in wet n need longer time to warm up

 

dunlop : tyre tend to wear out unevenly , quote from joshy ''Seems like a great choice.. actually me wanted to chnage to m1 last dec to.. but chose gpr70 instead. Find gpr70 is great on dry road but SCMI on wet road.. quite prone to skid. ''

 

 

 

ani 1 care to correct me or add info /enlight ?

that mean his valve is jam lah...... nv run mah..... oil filter very cheap only.. that is only a normal servicing when u change engine oil n plug.... Rd tax is S$70 for 6 months... n NTUC dun take RVF anymore..... truly speaking, when u buy a bike cheap maybe there's hidden problem tat u dunno..... but sometimes really lucky to buy a bike at cheap price.

 

U need to check the clutch plate, fork, steering etc..... sometime u need to spend 1k jus to change the parts..... if the bike everything is fine that gd....

i think dunlop GPR70 is more expensive then BT090....... how can say cheap???

[Shark]

I'm currently using the Metzler Sportec M1. They say it's got a good grip rain or shine (but definitely expensive tho!). However, in my opinion the tyre is not that grippy when you turn on wet road conditions. When road is try tyre is perfectly good for cornering. This is just my opinion. i thot of getting the Dragon Supercosa next round.

 

Ride Safe.

[y2kredbull]

I've been using Bridgestone BT014.Very shiok when cornering.Actually just want to test the mileage on these tyres.So far so good.

[Shay]

Sportec M1----> :thumb: :thumb:

 

Good grips in dry and in wet weather.

 

Long lasting too.

 

Never have any 'uneven' wear problem as i read b4 Metz tires have this dunno what 'steel-mesh' technology that prevents the tires from warping out of shape.

 

Response on the 150 rears is very good...ease of flickability and stable in corners.

 

Provides excellent feedback as well.

 

i know coz im using it!
