Solution.... Go M'sia more often.

 

97 RON can be had for RM 1.41, which given an average exchange rate of RM2.22 to 1 SGD, would yield around 64cents per liter.

 

Compare that to our current local... what?... around $1.43 for 95RON and $1.47 for RON98?? (I don't pump locally much, never take note of prices)

 

So... pumping in M'sia, you're effectively paying around 43% to 45% or what you would over here.

 

You get 2 full tanks in M'sia for the price of 1 in SG.

 

 

So with that in mind... next time I chio ppl go pump in JB... who wanna go?

3-4 times a week....

n i thought i was the onli poor aprilian...

May - before using Broquet Fuel Catalyst

249km full tank. Ride till DRY. Have to push bike to find a petrol station.

19km/L

 

August - after adding BFC to my petrol tank

268km - full tank, ride till DRY.

20.6km/L

 

Oct - with BFC, after the 'operation' on my bike....

240km main tank. Havent ridden till my tank went dry yet.

Probably 22km/L, I'd say?

 

Will have to wait for next tune up before testing mileage proper...

 

I used to pump Shell 98 all the way... Now that I have converted to 95, my bike pulls less G's now.........

Petrol prices are sooooo ex, cant afford to give the best to my Road Rocket anymore.....

i tried b4 250km thenafter that straight away go johore pump petrol liao.

 

dun dare to push any further cos wait got to push bike in laio

hahaha:sweat:

Excellent...

 

I'll be heading in tonite. Need to pump a small little bike. Maybe ard 10pm or so.

 

Any other takers? Lacri?

[eyz]

lawrence, can you post a pic of the single seater?? i wanna @@ @@

Ok guys ive managed to fix the blur headlights problem WITHOUT opening up the headlight.

 

The solution is to simply disconnect every wire and bulb, then flood the headlight unit with water, shake it a bit and drain the water out.

 

Use a hair dryer to dry the headlight unit (minimise water droplet marks) and wait a few days (ensure wires are 100% dry) and just fix back into the bike

 

perhaps u guys who have a spare headlight unit wanna try it. I just tried on mine and it works a miracle

[fibre]

And btw anyone know where to get the fairing fasteners? I need about 6 of them

[supertzm]

Fairing fastener? u meant the bolt n nuts? if u mean that, u can get it beside ah boy the auntie shop... anyway u flood the headlight plastic frm whr? maybe can meet up to help me wash mine

Arrow is approved!

 

take a look at the link above...

i think biketech21 is having approved arrow pipe..

from the webpage it's seems that the approved arrow pipe is also the racing full system..

this is going to be interesting...

The link goes to:

 

http://www.arrow.it/eng/ricercaprodotti/li...sp?id=1&idSub=2

 

which is an Italian site. Not Biketech's site. Not LTA's.

 

 

 

It may be approved there, or in Europe. But even so, without LTA approval, it will count for nuts here. Best is one of you PHYSICALLY GO DOWN to Biketech and ask them whether it really is approved, and ask to see the paperwork.

[eyz]

yah rite...

that links to arrow special parts homepage..

from the homepage, i also read about their recent release of road legal arrow parts..

from SBF frontpage.. biketech21 banner says about the approved arrow too..

but ultimately still need to go down physically and check with them..

think only new arrow pipe can be used and the usual process of getting

the cert for the pipe is as per normal...

 

but maybe in no time, we can see people fitting their arrow on their RS, trying their luck with TP kaka

[A3roSmith]

just asking : only the rs125 has this pipe issue cos of the milo kong right?

rs250 dont have this prob?
