Dark Raider, you can be in that list, no one's stopping you.

 

If you'd like to meet up with us when we have any big events, pls put your name in that list because we usualy refer to that as a master list to call and sms everyone from. So if your name is in it, it simply means whenever we have a meeting, you'll be informed of it first hand.

[siewsphone]

Hi guys, I find out that my bike now as power as before, very hard to pick up more than 90km/h after the DIY session, and the sound not same liao.....what I have done in the DIY session:

 

1) Clean the Air Filter

2) Clean the Valve

3) Change coolan

 

What u guys think? Btw, I broke the sheet of "paper?" on the valve.....

[bktan]

[lacrimosae]

2T dont have to use so high end lah.... You riding on normal roads, not like on track, where your rpm hovers above 9,000 most of the time....

 

Carbon fibre reed valve will crack and fray after prolonged use.

 

Gasket broken? I need to replace mine too...

Will be cleaning valve this Sat. Prob will replace it then.

 

Cheng Xi, let me just share something with you.

I tried to save money on tyres so I continued using my worn tyres.

When I tried to swerve to avoid an errant pedestrian dashing across the road, I hit the brakes and my bike skidded. I pushed my girlfriend away from the impact, hence diving into the ground harder than I should. My right foot got caught under the bike and my leg got pinned while the bike was dragged some distance.

 

To cut a long story short, I tore my ligament, I cant run, walk, cycle, swim, squat, jump, kneel, etc... And I cant partake in my fave sports, triathlons, cycling, squash and wake-boarding. My reconstructive surgery will cost me $18,500 and 6 mths rehab. WHY?

 

All because I tried to save TWO-F*CKING-HUNDRED dollars on a pair of tyres.

I switched to GPR 70 after that. No more accidents. Couple of close shaves, but no accident.

 

So. moral of the story. Every cent you will ever spend on equipment to make your bike safer, will be WORTH IT. Without a doubt.

Trust me on this.

 

Ride hard; Ride safe.

How did your GF fair? Hope she didn't get banged up too much.

[siewsphone]
