250 RAC 13:15

MotoGP RAC 15:00

THE PLAN***: Ride on Friday(23rd) night. Back on Monday(26th).

***Due for planning.

Those who wanna ride down do sms me/khai your interest. So we could have some basic planning, and possibly decide which hotel to stay, how many rooms to book, how many to a room, etc.

So far, this is the list of guys who are interested:

1) macan_putih aka Khai @ 91455310

2) blast3dGaL aka Jun @ 81746462

3) ragnophobia

4) zack939

5) redx (pending approval)

6) din (showed interest during meet up last Fri)

7) quikslvr

8) IZECUBEZ

9) whoissham

10) insaint (patrick) Pending miss last year.

11) shadantao (chung)

**Estimated expenditure : last year I personally spent approx SGD300.

It varies from person to person (personal shopping desires).

Those interested on expenditure:

I remember paying $100 for hotel, RM80 for Main Grand Stand Tickets, and about rm100 for petrol.. and the rest for food, and shopping.. I think.. Those who went last year, pls correct me if I'm wrong.

***We are looking at service apartments, if you have any suggestions, pls feel free to share. A certain sum will need to be paid after a few meetings to discuss accomodation and itenary. This is to avoid any last minute back off after hotel/apartment booking.

Most likely we are going to start discussing this during our meet-ups starting next month, and more seriously in September. So those interested, pls try to come down in future and upcoming impromptu meet-ups if you have enquiries, or any ideas/suggestions to share.

And kindly update the list. Thanks...

UPDATE (24/7) by Isa

i have found 1 service apartment,actually a condotel (condo + hotel).Its RM59 per person per night.The apartment is in the city itself and has pool(to relax aft hrs of racing),gym (to keep fit n buildup stamina to last 40 laps of races) n playground (for those who bring kids haha..) the place also has security guard n the perimeter is secure.anyway pictures speak a thousand words.here is the webby

http://www.junesapartment.com/index.htm

so u guys ok with the place?

--------------------------

Anymore suggestions??

--------------------------

If all okay with the place, pls make a deposit payment of RM50 in the next meet up meant for Sepang Trip discussion. I'm trying to make it next week, probably Friday night. Will need to ask my dearest Khai for a suitable date/day that can fit his schedule. The deposit is meant to safeguard everyone. From last year's experience actually. So everyone who has indicated interest or confirm going as of now, need to prepare the deposit and this deposit will be used to book the hotel/condo/service apartment. Whether or not you actually go, the money will be burnt. That kindda eliminates last minute back off, escaping non-payment, and make those who really went pay extras. Just my suggestion, to be discussed again~

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

agree, e pressure is very important. n oso run on nitrogen is better than air. felt tires r cooler

a10 shoud be mid-compound la. new tires got grease, dun corner too low...

Using nitrogen in tires doesn't mean they don't heat up.

- Nitrogen is denser than Oxygen: This means the larger molecules escape less easily from tires resulting in a more gradual loss of pressure over time. According to the Michelin Tire Manual, a tire that is inflated with Nitrogen loses its pressure 3 times slower than if it were inflated with air.

Most tires are filled with compressed air, which when dry consists of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and 1 percent other gases by volume. Water vapor (humidity) can make up as much as 5 percent of the volume of air under worst-case conditions. Filling your tires with nitrogen mainly does two things: it eliminates moisture, and it replaces skinny oxygen molecules with fat nitrogen molecules, reducing the rate at which compressed gas diffuses through porous tire walls. That means, theoretically at least, that a tire filled with nitrogen retains optimal pressure longer, leading to more uniform tire wear and better gas mileage. The commonly quoted figure is that tires inflated to 32 psi get 3 percent better mileage than at 24 psi.

- Nitrogen is moisture free: Pure Nitrogen inflated tires experience less steel belt and rubber degradation. Nitrogen use also reduces valve and wheel corrosion.

- Nitrogen is non-flammable: Nitrogen technology has been used in aircraft, military and race car technology for over thirty years.

This keeps the pressure close to constant. Is all of the above true, or just marketing hype? Having worked in the ad and marketing industry, I'd say it's mostly hot air. Take everything with a pinch of salt.

I'm using nitrogen for my tires, though. *shrugs*

The surface of tires have 'wax' on them. This 'wax' is actually a chemical applied to the mould so that the tires won't stick to it during the manufacture process.

Like using wax paper during baking.

whats POS bro?

Piece of sh... Nvmd.

motul 810 is premix fully synthetic.
motul 710 is for the 2T pump use.

premix if i m not wrg is meant to be thicker. ask lawrence as his running on premix only while rest of us running on 2T pump.

Premix is not meant to be thicker. It's meant to ensure that your mixture has a consistent ratio of fuel to 2T regardless of the throttle position and engine rpm.

Using the 2T pump adds an addition liability to your system as anything mechanical can and will eventually fail.

Your 2T pump is unreliable as you cannot control the exact ratio of 2T entering your engine at different throttle positions. Your throttle pulls 2 cables- the throttle slide, and the 2T valve.

There is no exact science in controlling the exact ratio using a 2T mechanically actuated pump.

That is why some bikes spew tons of 2T-laden white smoke when idling, but is relatively smoke-free when riding.

Different 2T ratios at different throttle positions causes heavy smoke at different throttle openings.

Premix is purely manually control e ratio of 2T and petrol by pour e 2T into e fuel tank after u pump. then shake well. hee:angel:
e 2T injector in our bike is for lazy ppl like most of us here. to me, i use e premix only 2T for e injector. 2 yrs plus liao, so far so gd. e only thing to take care is if e 2T is too thick (means e viscosity is too high), e flow of 2T will be effected, thus e engine could not be lubricate sufficiently.

Contrary to the common misconception that premixing is troublesome, it is actually convenient and trouble free.

The question is, are you stupid enough to learn from mistakes the hard way- i.e. getting a piston seizure yourself, or smart enough to learn from other people's mistakes.

run in rpm below 6k, 90km can la

As long as your bike is properly tuned, running in under 8,000rpm is fine.

Speed is NOT AN ISSUE. RPM IS THE KEY.

I'm getting quite fed up with correcting your misguided facts.

Can you please do some homework before perpetuating the same old stupid misconceptions, or can someone knock some sense into this guy?

Some sec sch chem 101

Mr of nitrogen =28

Mr of oxygen =32

Mr of air (average) =28.8

Nitrogen will be slightly lighter than air and is smaller than oxgen

Nitorgen is prefered as its w/o moisture ensuring more consistent tire pressure

Saw an Aprilia at the junction of Yishun St 20 & Yishun Avenue 9 at around 2.30am just now. Was it anyone here? Didnt have a good look at the rider.

Bike was the same Y2K model, stock lionhead decal. Didnt get to see the pipe too..

*smacks forehead*

Nvm bro.. Next time we ride!

zach84 · July 27, 2009

Zach, thanks for the headsup on the Rosso tyre. How much is it anyway?
Supposed to be better than The Dragon Supercorsa at track?

Isa, you spent $385 including installation for yours? Any idea how much is the price now?

Considering a tyre for track use.

u r welcome, e Rosso I got them @ $390 from Motor World. Dun know if it is better on track or not. But Rosso is Road tire. E Drangon supercorsa i believe u can get them cheaper than $380 from MW oso.

Can you please do some homework before perpetuating the same old stupid misconceptions, or can someone knock some sense into this guy?

YA. THX Smart GUY!

Pls dun think u r e only educated person here, OK? No obligation. Sometimes e "layman" term is much more easier for ppl 2 understand and do pls show ur respect to others.

I only said my tires r cooler didn say e tires r cold nor dun heat up. OK? E chemical property of Nitro i think i knew it better than u. But anyway thx 4 putting up e info n share with e ppl who may not know here.

My 2T specs as I compare to e injector type 2T, there is not much diff of e Viscosty. which means e flow won't be disturbed, thus e engine won't be lag of lubrication. this is my own opnion, if u dun agree, pls share urs without penalize others.

E run in part, i only said 6k rpm n 90km. 4 e 06 rs125 onwards, i think e most common speed @ 6k, 6th gear is 90km. according to my service manual, e run in rpm is below 6k for e first 800km. I've ever seen some mags gave comment "It's good to about 9,000rpm in the run-in mode". base on ur experience u told below 8k is fine plus ur criteria "if ur bike is properly tuned". whats e defination of properly tuned? Base on his statement, "will not go more than 5k rpm, n max speed is 70km", do u think his bike is properly tuned?

in did u r more experience n more well known here, but e way u wrote made me fed up as well. u r welcome 2 correct me n other ppl, but not calling ppl stupid. if i m not welcomed here, fine. i'll make my way.
