Kui toh... or cut pipe.

 

If you noticed, Aprilias with Milo Kongs have slightly better low end and mid-low end punch than Arrow/RS users. But get up to 7000, and your bike bogs. Anyway, it's a sportbike, so you should rev the tits off her.

 

 

What your mechanic did was to send the pipe out to have the baffles and catalytic converter removed. The milo kong is a piece of sh1t scooter pipe. Lotsa baffles (walls) in the stomach that prevents flow. The Catalytic converter is also another source of restriction.

 

You'll also notice that your bike will run cooler than before. Go ahead. Have a look at your temp reading in heavy traffic and tell me that it doesn't shoot into the 90s so often anymore.

bro

any idea how to make my bike more power at low range rpm?

i m using arrow now

seriously it's rather slow lor...my bike run off at 4rpm !!! and it's slow like tortoise...but once above 8rpm....wuuhuuuuuuuuuuu :cheer:

so is $80 expensive to have the bafles taken out?

is it bad for the environment?

 

the mechanic is new to me, so i'm trying to find out if he is overcharging...

 

ALso, I'm still interested in finding out the prices for the following as well...

 

Spocket + chain

chain roller (some small sponge looking cylinder)

$80 is standard.

$100 if you want to kui toh and de-carbonise your pipe as well.

 

With kui toh milo, your zorst pipe is much cooler too. After riding at top speed from home to Jurong for 30min straight, my zorst feels only a little warm to the touch. Without kui toh, just a 10min ride and it can vaporise the skin off a careless pillion's calf.

 

Who gives a sh it about the environment, you're gonna live for another 60 years max. Or maybe less if you ride like a maniac on the roads, if work and taxes doesnt kill you first.

Anyway, for those environ-'mental' sissies, the answer is NO, it is not any worse for the environment than it is TO ALLOW 100 TRILLION METRIC TONNES of toxic waste gases into the environment from all the conventional, gasoline/diesel-powered vehicles on the planet, including commercial/fighter jets, cruise/battle ships/aircraft carriers, construction/demolition engines, and chemicals from the manufacturing plants of television sets, microchips for your PCs/laptops/handphones/PDAs......

 

So, anyway....

kebeen, which mechanic and shop do you take your bike to?

Sprocket and chain can get anywhere.... Abt $40 for sprockets (unless you get Renthal), chain is about $130 for a good O-ring/X-ring type....

u ah...

wat's wrong with caring for the environment a little...

 

wat's worse, just saw a taxi driver got fined for a bas***d exhaust that throws smoke in my face... felt like ramming him... but as u know... we are always on a losing end...

 

The shop I went to is called SanFu, in Kakit Bukit, some industrial park.

 

just wanted to know if he's legit and trustworthy...

if he proves to be one, I'll be his faithful customer...

 

he was quoting abt $180 for the whole set (chain + sprocket).

 

 

also on the subject of a chain roller... u guys heard of it?

i got one to reduce the noise of the chain...

spent like $22 bucks on it...

Exhausts system are a compromise.

 

There's no such thing as perfect all round power. Sorry. It applies even to big bikes. Stock exhausts are usually a bit restricted. It makes the bike streetable by allowing for more low range punch at the expense of all out top end performance.

 

So when you buy an aftermarket pipe.. depending on the design, but most go for top end anyway... you'll get an increase at the top, and top-midrange. But you almost always lose a bit below.

 

 

The keyword is compromise. Just like suspension settings. There is no panacea. U have to give and take a little.

 

 

Your Arrow is specifically for race use. Top end all the way. No way around that.

[lacrimosae]

haha...

ok ok.....

 

My bad!

I ought to be shot at dawn for harming the environment!!

 

kebeen,

If people's zorst gases were in my face, I'd have simply changed lanes or overtook them.....

Dont take things too personally lah..... perhaps you might want to ride an environmentally-friendly bicycle instead? keke

(just kidding, pls dont hate me)

 

$180 for what chain and what sprockets?

Anyway, why do you need a chain roller for? Its not like our chains are making a clanking noise that neighbours are complaining.....

 

Dont waste money on all these kind of unnecessary junk.

Save it for petrol or better riding gear like leathers or gloves.

yeah i agree though, the damn chain roller is a waste of my dough...

 

but too bad, i got it, just to see the effect.

anyway, let it be known to all riders that for the offical record

"It's a waste of money...."

 

p.s I've got a environment friendly bicycle already... just too slow if I were to ride to my office in Bkt Timah.
