can a "FQ" plate BB be EFI rather than Carb type?

 

saw a owner advertising, bought in April 1999. He claims that the BB is EFI.

 

It is the color I am looking for. Has to ensure 1st b4 making a trip down to view his BB.

its a blue FI bird.

 

i went down with another bird fren. he confirmed that its a FI bird

 

i suppose its the same one lor.

saw the ad in classifieds. staying at panjang area.

 

there is a big dent on the fuel tank. costs abt 100 to get it fixed. tyres need to be changed. front and back squared.

 

the mileage is tempting thou. 40k for a '99 bike

 

owner said wanted to sell last year already. but... couldnt bear to part with it.

coz now driving already.

if e engine is good, everythin else can be negotiated. cosmetics stuff can be easily fixed. priority e frame and engine. my 2 cents.

[josean]

i took a ride on it. feels smooth.

no wierd sounds,brakes no problem.

 

 

will think abt it guys.

hi guys.......i'm back in spore.got back my bike with the brake change.my whole bike became less sensitive liao.front is front n rear is rear.no more dual brake action.not bad.i like the response.but come with a hefty price.

 

lightspeed,u r right.no need to change unless i required performance braking.but baking downhill at 90km/h at mount faber become easy as u dun fear front brake or lock when u tap rear.

[cbr1100]

I'm using the Penske suspension on my bike, though its not a Blackbird. On par with Ohlins but cheaper.

how much does it cost you?

[Guest R1szuan]

yo guyz

 

i need some help here or shall i say need more inputs.

 

I am lookin for a hard compound tyre. Cornerning not important, i need lotsa of distance. I know most of you told me to get 020.

 

Here is the profile of tyre i am lookin for.

It must be

 

1: Cheap

2: Lasting in distance. Wont botak that fast

3: Cornerning not important.

 

I was lookin for macadam type of tyre. Coz i really need a distance tyre. Not touring tyre. Which has the hard center and soft at the side(This is not some pervertive thought eh!)

 

thank you

 

BTW any of you guys ever change the oil type for your fork? and also any difference using dot 3 or do4 brake fluid?

 

And also anyone here braided thier clutch cable hose?

 

I was thinkin why not we put a list some of the bb spare part list for a archive use in the future.

Its true abt the very uneven front tire wear for the 010... its one of the reasons I had the accident with my BB.

 

Dun just go for cheap hard tires that can last a long time. Cheap hard tires means not much good grip.... you may never know when you'll need the grip in an emergency...

The ohlins can cost abt $1800 for the same type with 2way adjustments I think. And the servicing after some time will cost abt $300 compared to the $180 for Penske. So in this way, Penske is cheaper. More ppl buy Ohlins b'cos its more popular around the world. Penske is popular in the US and Canada.

 

All this infor is to the best of my knowledge..... I can always be wrong....

[it wasnt me]

thats very informative...i have a clearer picture now...thanks for sharing

anyway....price is just what the agent of a product wants to charge u

not quite an accurate gauge to the quality of an item

i wish i have the dough to try both
