yours is what an e an s and is it hotcammed... i know for a fact that hotcammed bike need better airflow thus an aftermarket pipe is recommended.. but since i didn't want to get one so i tried the end cap... throttle response seems better i feel. Not a significant diff but a diff yes it is. hmmmm maybe rook can give me a hand on this

ehh Joe, help u with wat ah??

 

lazy to refer back..

[nebulaz]

and Nebulaz.......still hungry after u reach home??? kekekek

 

of cos man...I'm starving like hell... chilly nite makes me more hungry,bro..

onli get to eat quaker oats when I reached home..Reallii...nice ride people..Awesome skill displayed by pros huh!! I bet you guys didnt know DRZ can be thrown and flicked like dat rite???Cool manz..

 

Never see so many DRZ in 1 nite..cool ppl too...

 

Lastly..yo ...R.C, you nid to practise more burnout b4 I chopped ur practical book to stage 2 ok...hehehe:bouncefire: Cheers ppl..

[gasgasx]

yea....and rookie crazy cornering with his Team Sonic bike. I bet his doggie keychain gave him a +1hp to his overall hp.

 

almost can't see him when we riding~!!!!

 

then those goondu military police gave us the shock of our lives~!(how come it sounds like that soap drama 'days of our lives'?)

 

ya know.....until u mention we were near the fisheries....i really tot we were heading there until we made a left turn and enter our secret training ground where there's a 'Police Carnival' going on.

 

anyway......super nice ride .....chilly nites and wat a fun crowd to inter-mingle with. at least now we can put the name to the face(or is it the other way round?...anywayzzzz~)

how to check the sag? need any tools to do that?

[ryanC]

anyway what do you guys use for lubing your chain? tube chain lube, spray can chain wax or engine oil? i feel like using gatsby wax... considering getting chain wax now.. but also thinking of recycling the engine oil... i've been thinking of maxima... and not gonna go to guan hoe to do the "free" servicing already. anyone have anywhere to recommend for servicing?

u just need a measuring tape

and a buddy

 

1st- lift the bike on a stand, with rear wheel fully extend

measure from 2 reference pts

 

2nd- rider to mount the bike, with both legs on pegs

ask buddy to measure again, same 2 reference pts

 

3rd- subtract both numbers, let me know the figure

 

 

 

hey gasgas, which guy are u??

too many ppl yesterday, i blur liao..

[gasgasx]

I use chain wax and do my own general servicing on my bikes.

you need to slip it in between your spokes to pump air if not use erm... caltex the automated one.. that one clip on, easier.
