You left out the juicy details of you push starting the bike!

Yeah.. Imagine me and another gal pushing the bike up and down the mild slope.. Luckily it got started, if not..... @#$%&* Not forgetting the ride to ah piao's shop, which feels like it ran out of petrol.. So its like engine dying, and came back and died and came back..... Super tedious..

thanks for the insightful info ah tiang! anyway spotted another DRZSM yesterday when i went to work, must be some old timer because that malay dude kept his old numberplate, it's AW plate. and we almost held up the traffic by holding a conversation at the traffic light junction. anyway ah tiang have u heard R.C.'s sound of the "stock" F4. it's a legal pipe on DRZ-E model and it sounds more choppy than the GPR. potentially loud too!

 

oh yea just wondering, how often is the end cap getting stolen? and what do people do to prevent stealing of end caps? the other thing is as seen on some mags some time ago, the white brothers exhaust, erm... i think it's the E2, it has 2 types of end caps, one for street the other for dirt. if that's the case, will that mean such pipes are easier to be legalized but then again it might backfire as it can be potentially loud with the racing end cap. besides that, i seldom heard of people using their pipes. why is that so? most of the pipes i heard of people using over here is either PC or FMF

Did you get his contact? We need more in our DRZClub man!

i haben heard the exhaust of RC yet ?

 

well, i'm jus trying to share more aftermarket street legal exhaust but tis GPR exhaust is a bolt on one?

[hardrider]

Sorry, didn't see the more info part hahaha

 

Bear in mind overseas street legal doesn't mean LTA street legal.

Judging form the pics, it's a slip on... still stuck with that restricted header =(

[ryanC]

yes, slip on is quite boring.. a full system will be more sweet! maybe make more noise only... i want both noise and performance!!! :D

never though... he was having a conversation with me at the junction between orchard and orange grove road man! we were like hogging the traffic muahahahahaha.... too bad... quite cool, did the steel braided hose and changed the handle bar... stick lots of stickers... polis sport hand guards...

 

question time, currently the OEM brake hose is thick and it's rubber. are all steel braided hose thinner? is thinner brake hose better?

Change the brake hose cos the OEM brake hose tends to expand when there is pressure...you won't regret...I have mine changed and the braking feels better and stronger immediately. I also change the brake pads and with the hose and pads changed....now I have very much confident in the front brake.

heard the gpr exhaust today on drz... yes it did passed lta inspection and man its LOUD!!

you should change and hose to steelbraided ones and it will help with solid "brake" feel...and if you match it with a HH pads then stoppie will be your daily Thang!!

Wah Mike whose DRZ was it?

was thinking of getting rid of the stock exhuast to give more power and sound

[souldead81]

Probably from Dirtwheel

 

saw thier KTM 950 with GPR exhuast also and he say its was legal

Shed some weight of the elephant!!!

[R.C.]

Who is going to call Dirt Wheel tomorrow? Or everyone call and ask for mass order discount!

[hardrider]

I thought GPR was brought in by MSC.

M4 exhaust systems are pretty nice too. Wonder if that can be legalised.

[ronnyz]

vector one now got brakehose promo.

[ryanC]

hmmm...i think again, before you get the whole system for the bike, there's definitely the need to removed the PAIR system before putting in an aftermarket header as i believe the header will be bigger than the stock one and thus there will not be enough space.

 

how much will it cost to change to steel braided hose? is it a must to change the brake pads to HH ones? the stock brake pads are not good enough? and how much will the brake pads be? i'm thinking of doing for both the front and rear

hai if you pay money and they can deliver then why bother with wat reputation, other shop also get from them wat. i myself never kena anything from them, so i'm ok wit them. everyone also make mistake but sometimes sh*t happens and might not be their fault.

 

now my wheelset also kena shipped wrongly but i know its states side screw up, dealer here neber check so i also lan lan have to wait for sending back then sent again.... another 1 plus month.

:mad:

Saw/heard/felt the GPR titanium oval slipon exhaust on Lao_Chai's bike. It is loooooooong! Not that loud too. Most important point... ROAD LEGAL!
