[ah_ba86]

any programme tonight??

[joseph8528]

ehh vpower or calthex better.

 

i everytime caltex that time i try v power nt as powerful as calthex leh i mean msia oil

[ah_ba86]

feel like goin dam.. any one care to join?

[fufu]

use caltex

[alyce]

 

 

That's for theory ma, ur practical is totally different!

 

wah lao don say till i so bad leh. don drag my name down yellow river lo :giddy: :cry:

[alyce]

feel like goin dam.. any one care to join?

 

i going watch movie at PS later. the warlords

[fufu]

wait for me to watch leh!

[kenNUFC]

actually i read one news article before and it said that actually singapore petrol too good already, usually other country's best petrol is actually power 95, our power 98 n v-power is way too good so actually there is no harm using 95 on ur vehicle.

 

actually i dun really mean power but smooth!

[motec]

japan using 100-101 octane fuel,better den sin...

[kenNUFC]

not all countries ba but i think like germany or dunno which country. anyway that article is about the price of the petrol going up and ways to save.

[striderX]

dam anyone???

[striderX]

nobody online now???

[fufu]

huh? u all so outdated ar! i already using octane platinium 1000....

[asan786]

ehh vpower or calthex better.

 

i everytime caltex that time i try v power nt as powerful as calthex leh i mean msia oil

 

Caltex better; feels smoother. Petronas is also not bad.

If memory serves me right, i read somewhere that higher octane fuels minimise engine knocking caused by "too-early" combustion (ignite).

 

Usually, the spark plug should fire to ignite the squashed fuel+air mixture in the compression stage of the engine combustion process, not earlier than that.

 

A little Chemistry lesson on Hydrocarbons:

The name "octane" comes from the following fact: When you take crude oil and "seperate" it in a refinery, you end up getting hydrocarbon chains of different lengths. These different chain lengths can then be separated from each other and blended to form different fuels.

 

For example, you may have heard of methane, propane and butane. All of them are hydrocarbons. Here's more:

 

- Methane has just a single carbon atom

- Propane has three carbon atoms chained together.

- Butane has four carbon atoms chained together

- Pentane has five

- Hexane has six

- Heptane has seven...

- and octane has eight carbons chained together.

 

Whew...that's a lot of Chemistry stuff to remember....

 

Looking at that list above, Heptane comes right before octane.

The list is arranged by how "flammable" the hydrocarbon is.

 

It turns out that Heptane handles compression very poorly. Compress it just a little and it ignites spontaneously. Octane handles compression very well -- you can compress it a lot and nothing happens.

 

Eighty-seven-octane (RON87) gasoline is gasoline that contains 87-percent octane and 13-percent heptane (or some other combination of fuels that has the same performance of the 87/13 combination of octane/heptane). It spontaneously ignites at a given compression level, and can only be used in engines that do not exceed that compression ratio.

 

Always follow your recommended minimum allowable RON rating for your RVF.

Haynes Service and Repair Manual for VFR/RVF recommends any petrol that is Unleaded, and is RON91 or above.

 

To play safe, I usually pump 98, especially when I do rough riding. Sometimes I do 95 occasionally.

 

Titbit: I heard Class 2 bikes can only have RON95 petrol as the minimum...

no need learn so much la... just need to know wat fuel u use feels ok to u can le... learn so much also no use...

[Jym]

any place to go tonight??

[kaNe]

i come back then saw ur post.

 

anyways i realise when coming back sg bikes cant go thru the passageway at the back liao ah? then i use the car lane. but no lanes to chop passport for bikes! then i just went off. how ah.

 

ermm.. the new bike lanes change temporary to the first car lane there aready.. there got paste 1 piece of paper 1.. if u nv chop passport n came back =.= means u dint exit msia yet... and now stuck between sg n msia lols~ btw.. u dint chop.. the sg custom ppl let u thru mehs ? wth =.=

 

just curious, will it be all rvfs on the outing? or mixture of other models as well?

 

ermm.. 95% rvfs.. and 5% mixture of frens =]

[joseph8528]

hopefully the 5% all 400cc =x

[zongbao]

wow joseph change paintwork already sia.. haha... no more banana cbr ?

[alyce]

wow joseph change paintwork already sia.. haha... no more banana cbr ?

 

now his cbr is call xiao bai

[exhal3r]

Guys i wan to ask whether Yoshimura Steet Legal Limits the RPM...? Coz my bike i'm able to clear the speedometer..the needle will be pointing bout 2fingers below the km/h mark but the RPM stays at bout 14.5 and doesn't seem to clear at all...uhmm...any idea guys...

He's okay for SG because it's not in SG customs officers' jurisdiction to examine M'sia stamps on one's passport.

 

The one he should be worried about is the M'sia one...have entry chop but no exit. So M'sia regards him as he still being in their country.
