AHHH~~! SOme SeriOUS discusiions going on at last....

 

Ok peepz...

 

On the issue of The 'racing' footpegs ..... If u are a corner freak, scrapes the OEM footpegs on every turns and corners possibly imaginable, even turning into your carpark will oso scrape then get it changed out.

 

Now if you are a buang king..better to get the premuim goods from ah boy..like Mel said Cheaper to crash on.

 

Now if you are richer than average,dun mind crashing a EX as hell rearsets and value the pose factor then get the Moriwakis.

 

Personally paying $700 for a pair of footpegs is beyond me. $300 tops if i were to spend on a aftermart one. S'long as it serves its pupose as elevated Footpegs.

 

 

On the Issue of the suspension...er...for as long as i could remember since riding the NC35, my knowlege of the rear shocks is that it cannot be rebuilt. once spoilt, have to change. Iz stated in 400greybikes i think....your ever helpful 400cc bikes link. I think Haynes manual oso says the same thing.

 

On the issue of failing IPPT and doing track time. I think iz good to excercise our body once in awhile and not spend too much of our god given time on bikes. There are more impt things in life than bikes, seriously like the health of our body. Besides...excercising regularly can help increase stamina.....VITAL FOR THE REAL TRACK doing laps. MotoGP riders train by excercising when they are off the circuits...if not how to last a gruelling 20+ Laps with 100% concentration?

 

700 bucks can do other things ... who knows one day need a rear set end up need to buy ah boy stuffs... oem footpegs sure kana scrapes wan if wan to save $$$ install a bracket will do

 

rear shock i think can try to use hyper pro rear shock plus front fork spring cost 500 bucks plus install ( motoworld )

Dude, hows your bike liao? IMO, rectifier and battery not need to change liao lah, juz take out and clean properly (some thing not conducting at the battery's +- ends) maybe buy better screws and nuts for your battery can liao.......

 

And to the rest, yah when next outing? I missed the last one, so many pple go leh....

is it illegal to install an oxygen sensor on bike exhaust pipe? it gives a reading and has nothing to do with speed, acceleration and excessive emission. it actually helps for tuning to improve emission

its cheap? seriously ask yourself, do you really need it? it helps tuning, but do you know how to do tuning yourself? if your interested just a proper set like what the shops use and fiddle around with carb settings yourself. just imo.

vic, im not very sure but i emailed thamo(?) from bikelab a couple months back, and he says it can be rebuilt/serviced (by them). can you check your manual and see what it says?

 

The PGM4 is using a proarm, so is the VFR400, 750's & 800, RVF750 and the NSR150SP as well. If you're talking about Honda's more recent models. During the late 90's RC45(RVF750) Race Teams dumped the pro-arm. They went back to the standard dual swingarm. One of the main reasons was to reduce weight (heavy). The added advantage of being fast wheel changes for endurance teams didn't matter too. As new technology was available for a reliable quick-release device on dual swingarms.

 

the nsr150sp is chiong one lah!

 

basket you see the linkages, wah cmi lol (i mean the build quality). but i still miss my old sp.. for some reason :weep: :weep:

the riding posture feels like riding rxk wit legs wide open

 

i want the footpegs to go further back and higher

i scraped my current footrest till the sliders on the footpegs broke off and scraped the footpegs as well.

 

yoshi ones are stronger. defenitely but they are normally shorter than the racing boy ones. i have noticed sp racing boys bend in to the bike after long use.

 

i need to do more research on the length.

wah! scrap e footpegs?? where? PG ?

so far i only manage to scrap my boots... u must b going very fast

[ambasnakeman]

u think i so rich ah. go to pg. till now havent go change brake disc also.

by the way, i scraped it on normal roads and car parks

np....din help much.....heehee its God's will that the bike can start after tempering eith the battery screws. thk him lah. paiseh that nite I very duck leg duck hand, been up since morning so s bit blur blur liao.

 

Never heard of FB, maybe the other experience pple here can help answer that....but good to hear that its solved.

 

Arai is good!!! :cheer:

 

I am so envious:lovestruck:

 

Anyway I finally found me screw, had to ride home without a screw on my battery that nite, lucky me home near near nia. the damm screw dropped inside my bike lah.

 

BTW on sat nite got another RVF pass by hougang mall ard 4am, num plate 2477....err any one here? the rvf riding beri slowly is me!!!

[eugene_kips]

by the way, i scraped it on normal roads and car parks

 

so far i only manage to scrap my boots... u must b going very fast

 

wah!!!

You guys are daring sia.

Scrap boots/ scrap footrest machiam daily affair leh......

Hi Non Stop Racing,

 

There's no real "Wu Ling Mi Ji" lah. Just applying the right techniques and concepts together in a clear mind. That's really hard to apply!

 

Hi Ambasnakeman,

 

Can you tell us more on the oxygen sensor and what it does? Sounds interesting.

 

Guyz,

 

I be pretty honest. I have only scrapped my stock pegs three times. (only once at track) There can be many reasons. As I have mentioned earlier. The old & shagged out Suspensions could be making the bike sit too much. I just find it odd why so many riders spend so much more on getting more power and improving the looks of the bike than improving the handling. Why dump your stock shock even before fully exploring the settings or attempting a servicing? Getting an aftermarket shock does not always instantly solve all your handling woes. Spend a bit of time read up on suspensions will go a long way.(understand how they work and which one suits your usage best) In the end, it's only wise to spend money on what you really need.

 

The geometry of the bike plays a big role in handling too. In other words, the distribution of the bikes' weight. (Where they push the weight) Dropping the fork may make your bike steer fast in a corner. But it may cause the bike to feel light behind. A balance of that and stability would be good.

 

Your linig play is another contributing factor. If you take a tighter line, you'll likely go lower. Hence often scrapping more. On the outter line, you'll have to go much faster to get lower to scrap anything. Common sense?

 

And of course You, the rider! Yes You! The throttle and brakes makes a lot of difference in the corner. (entrance, appex, exit) And the positionng of your body (torso, butt, arms, knees, feet) weight on which part of the bike. The rider makes up 1/3 to 1/2 the weight of the bike. And the seat Honda give you was designed for you to move your butt!

 

Nothing beats goods skills and a clear mind. It's time to brush up those skills. In my opinion, it's the cheapest and by far most effective performance mod is....

the Rider!

Wow.. drop 1 helmet, buy new helmet. U must be rich man! I salute to U!

[ambasnakeman]

i almost scrape my footrest everyday. i very reckless when i am alone.

 

if next time going out, try following me. its not the top end. it includes lane changing, squeezing, mocking other 2A(only when very bored, but a peaceful race).

[ambasnakeman]

OXYGEN SENSOR

 

it is a device that looks like a spark plug mounted at the exhaust of 4 stroke engines. it reads off oxygen level in exhaust emission between 0.1V to 0.9V.

 

so, in order for a small display, the sensor is connected to an AMPLIFIER circuit and a LED bar graph. a very simple circuit

 

when the tuning is too lean, it gives a reading of 0.1V.

when the tuning is too rich, it gives a reading of 0.9V

when the tuning is ideal, it reads 0.45V

 

on the LED bar graph display, there are 10 leds in a row.

when too lean, the left most 1 lights up. too rich, right most one.

ideal, it lights up around centre.

oh, very very fierce.

 

okay! we'll do peaceful race, but not over the speed limit okay? :cheeky: :cheeky: :cheeky:

[ambasnakeman]

in fuel injected vehicles, it is connected to the ecu, to immidiately alter air/fuel ratio at the injector.

 

even wide band power commanders, they do include oxygen sensor as well.

 

it is impossible, to have the ideal setting in every rpm. but it also aids in tuning to achieve better results.

[ambasnakeman]

today, i drag 1st gear until 90 plus. then i saw fire at my exhaust. at times it was distorted yellow flame and sometimes it was sharp blue flame.

 

has is it got anything to do with carb setting or dirty air filter

[Non Stop Racing]

haha snakeman i like to see u scrap pegs somedays!! eugene , kata killer: u two got job lobang pls intro me okie.. broke ah! lolz

Hi bikers,

 

Check out this link & found out the story of Biketech 21. Be careful if you ordered anything from them.

very interesting do u have the pic on this

[acidhurt]

guys, wat is the market value for FQ rvf if push in bike shop? Any shop to recommend tat take in rvf at good rate? my 2A just revoked.. sianz...
