Hi guys, I still have ready stock for MCCT, please contact me at 91123707 directly to deal. Thanks.

[rapalla]

Guys sorry to ask this question again and again. But is it really important to change to MCCT? Does it really damage the bike if never change to MCCT? What will happen if never change? And how to set it and fix it?? Can ask bike shop to set and fix ah? Sorry again coz new to this bike. If super four I know lah..

[biting_point]

MO time???

need a low bend..

high bend abit straining on my wrists..

[karmatrix]

The ACCT is prone to over-tightening the cam chain. Some have reported that the the ACCT is at it's max adjustment after only 5000km. You'll be over stretching your cam chain prematurely. When the cam chain becomes too loose, it could jump a tooth on the cam sprockets. not a good thing.

 

As for installation, it a easy to DIY. But if you are not comfortable doing this, best to leave it to a mech. $15 labour at most. easy job, but results can be ugly if you screw up.

The Easton EXP is really that solid, I am guessing whether Raptor is the only DRZ with this set of beautiful handlebar, its a beauty!

You are concern about the bike's pickup, and you want to cruise at 110 KMH and you worry about fuel consumption.

 

I don't know of any bike that can give you all these... certainly not a DRZ.

1. my FC varies, if wack very hard is 23km/l, if normal relax is 27km/l.

2. i bought 14k for everything wifout insurance

3. maintenance wise varies, engine oil 2000km change for semi syn, 5000km change for full syn, some change shorter intervals, spark plug at least can last 10k km, maintanence is very easy.

4. no such thing as advantage or disadvantage, its a matter of u like riding the bike or not.

5. u buying the bike for wat purpose?

my previous bike is a Super4 btw. even any bike is gd on SG rd provided u can tahan the petrol n maintenace etc owning a r1 or hayabusa

**********

1. easy to squeeze through, its the techique n guts.

2. pick up is gd, how fast u wan?

3. i ride liao feel normal, how fast for u to find out.

4. same as above i mentioned.

5. depending on wat u choose lor, some ex some cheap, up to u

I shall feed some info too..

 

1) Mine was at 30km/L (now abt 27km/L with my FS and jetting)

2) Machine price is abt $11000, OTR at abt $13k..

3) comparing it to S4, you'll save 1 bottle of EO and 3 sparkplugs.. carb wash save $30, replacement of carb parts are cut down to only 1 instead of 4.. i'll come to the rest later..

4) see bottom..

5) see bottom..

______________________________________________

I'll touch on the rest of you second part qns all together..

 

I used to ride a S4, simply love it.. but after getting a DRZ, i'm totally lose for words till now..

Sqeezing thru traffic is a ease compared to S4, as DRZ is light and more nimble.. chances for mirror to knock on cars' ones are lower, but needa becareful of vans and lorries..

pickup on rds, if you are comparing to S4, DRZ wil be much more torquey and less smooth.. being a 4cyclinder, S4 heats up very fast.. DRZ is relatively cooler..

on stock spockets, DRZ can travel stress free on highways at 110kph.. spockets size will determine the ease of travel on highways.. pickup and topend will never be friends..

FC if you compared to S4, it's better.. my S4 with FS is getting best at 18km/L, whereas DRZ with FS is now at 27km/L..

speaking of maintanence, besides lesser EO and sparkplugs, you also used les coolant.. better coolants are quite expensive btw..

but changing of EO for thumpers are recommended at 3k KMs.. some change it more frequently because of track days..

 

but only thing bad about DRZs are those poisonous stuffs that are selling at Ebay and US online stores.. being so popular and available in US(unlike Super4), DRZ had a lot of aftermarket accessories..

 

IMO, if i can rewind and choose which bike to buy, i would definately choose DRZ.. for it's reliability and performance..

if you are thinking of getting a commuter, DRZ is good for SG's use..

 

Disclaimer: What i've type is my views on Super4 and DRZ, dun blame me if you regret getting DRZ..

at least for me, I dun regret and loving it everyday..

MO time???

need a low bend..

high bend abit straining on my wrists..

 

gd choice bro ! haha

[biting_point]

gd choice bro ! haha

 

i mean for normal riding lah..

high bend to stressful for my wirst if i ride long distance..

not because of the night's ride out..

[Giles-Damien]

after installing the mcct, my engine is DEFINITELY less noisy. used to hear a rattling from the engine when i accelerate through a certain rpm but that sound is long gone. the rattling and ticking within the machine is also softer, so soft it's barely audible. engine braking feels less harsh but it's actually more uniform across the rev range.

 

i got my oil and filter changed together with the mcct. loctiteED primary nut and stator bolts, greased swingarm and steering bearings. now the front feels so loose i can feel the brakehose flex restrict the steering slightly. happy as f*ck now, everything settle liao, can ride with peace of mind.

 

seriously, why the hell do the zook engineers use the acct anyway, it sucks monkey balls

 

hey bro...

how much u pay for loctite-ing ur nuts n bolt and also greasing ur swingarm and bearings??

 

anyway anyway one have any recommendation for tuning my bike?? tuning and re jetting same meaning rite??? and how much does it cost??? i am getting only (at most) 24km/l(whack abit here n there) with everything stock and a LV pipe...

Not trying to be mean... its really an honest answer.

 

I see... you also know how to put a disclaimer too.

almost ~$200 because i did some other things as well like change brakehose. the whole thing was labelled "labour charge" so i don't know the individual cost. Most shops do swingarm and steering regrease for approx $80 and it will take almost 1 whole day even if the mechanic is not too busy. btw. loctite primary and stator nuts not easy, mech will have to open case covers on both sides and undo the mentioned bolts before wiping them dry individually and applying loctite, tighten back and leave to cure.

[rapalla]

Yes have to agree on DRZ. Since I bought my DRZ. My super four left untouch.. Super four is a good bike but on DRC it's a whole new experiance. It's a fun ride, I mean it's hard to explained but to me It's like being playful kind of feeling. Woohoo.. But for now must wait to finish runnuing in then will start to mod.. Can't wait..
