bro lawrence, maybe u have seen that before already. i really dunno what is that too.

but it certainly solve my rpm prob. lets talk more when we meet tonight! =)

 

redx, u are most welcome to take over my stock suspensions at a cheap price la! dun free la. i poor man. hehe. but i can ensure the price is dirt cheap. a sum will do. hehe.

but not so soon la. vik bro will curse me. lol.

Ohhhh... So u want to sell ur stock suspension to someone else, nvr offer me la...

[shadantou]

dear vik, u will always be the first man. for all my parts. how about that for an assurance. and im biased. urs will be dirt cheap. give something for example. how about ti-tech manara at 300 or even 250. WOO! but dun resell away. i'll kill u!

 

=)

 

so whats the plan for tonight? apparantly im a noob when it comes to directions and will need someone to bring me to kranji reservoir or some ulu place.

[IZECUBEZ]

Chung, call vik for info on tonight's meetup. He'll have the latest info on location and time.

[quikslvr]

so meetup where tonite?

[lacrimosae]

All the dudes looking for valves, better grab this fast.

 

Lawrence, you have them in stock already?

 

Sadly, stock will only be in mid-September.

 

But anyone interested can PM me to reserve one. Stocks are limited!

Just spoke to Mr Seng at FM about the secret box.

 

It's meant to advance your ignition. This is all well and good as long as you keep your revs ABOVE 9,000rpm ALL THE TIME.

 

Advancing your ignition means that the spark plug fires and starts the detonation of the compressing air/fuel mixture inside your cylinder BEFORE the piston reaches TDC (Top Dead Centre). This means that under low revs, expanding hot gases are pushing DOWN on your piston while the piston crown is still on its way up to TDC. This adds a lot of pressure and stress on your conrod and crankshaft as the piston is now compressing an expanding body of gas.

 

This is only good if you are racing on track all the time, and your revs NEVER fall below 9,000rpm.

 

But under normal riding, where your revs hardly exceed 8,000rpm most of the time, extreme heat build-up will occur on the surface of the piston crown near the exhaust port side. This, combined with a constant high pressure burst against the top of the piston per revolution, will melt a hole through the piston nearer to the exhaust port, causing what is known as a 'blow-hole seizure' - essentially, a small hole melts through the piston and compression is immediately lost as gases pass through the piston directly into the crank below. The piston crown will look very white ash-grey, with a small jagged hole melted through the exhaust end of the crown. I've seen this many times before on bikes with advanced ignition timing ridden gently like a cruising/touring bike. The owner and mechanic almost always never understands how this can happen despite his 'gentle' riding.

 

On a brighter note, this sort of piston failure will not damage your cylinder walls. Just change your piston, and voila! You're on your way to another dramatic melt-down.

 

Have fun!

LOL. so much for all the hoohaa.

might as well label it 'for racetrack use only'.

thanks for the antique sticker! heh

everyone's selling valves nowadays.

lol having known this. i guess there's no need to change my riding style on the road. But i realise someting. There seem to be a slight retard on the throttle when moving off. Im currently using power abuser.

Lacrimose...

 

Tuas track hours of operations are from 9 AM to 7 PM from Wednesday to Sunday.

 

$20 per hour, $30 for 2 hours and $50 for the whole day.

 

Only on the Saturday Nite specials or when there is a track riding clinic for newbies on Saturday morning at 9 AM, there is no requirement for leather suits but the normal safety gear of jackets, jeans, boots, gloves and full face helmets just like PG are a minimum.. after all its your skin. This waiver is the track management's call.

 

Other than these 2 occasions... full leather suits must be worn for track practice.

[quikslvr]

wow so quiet..everybody go outing??

[shinya]

sigh~ just came back....

 

Me and my friend arrived the esso at 8:40 and is empty, after that we checked the SBF then find out seems everyone just direct shoot to kranji.....LOL

 

Then we went there around 9:30 still empty the whole area~~~searched all the way to lim chu kong finally gave up and come home....XD

 

80km non-stop RUN-in my new piston is a bit tired....Orz

 

See you guys next time lah....T___T

Raptor! Thank you very much for the info! (been googling it this evening)

 

It's been a long time, but it seems only yesterday that I nearly bit the dust and slammed into the wall at Turn 2 while attempting a foolish overtake on you. hahahaahahaa...

 

Hope to catch up with you (figuratively and literally) at the Tuas track some time!

 

Cheers, and happy tracking!

Alamak, bro. You should have just given one of us a call.

[blast3dGaL]

a good night spent with the guys... Made me forgot all about my long day today... Got workshop in 4hours, which will take 8 to 9hours long, then an hour to get to work and another 4hours of work.. before i could get on my bed again to sleep.. damn... haha..

 

and shinya... next time take the important numbers, we always have impromptu changes along the way.. hee. that's where the fun comes.. unplanned routes, unplanned meet ups... unplanned activities..

 

Dun be disheartened. we will surely meet again..

[BlaqueWolf Racing]

Race fairing for the RS125. New model. Anyone know where to get for how much? Second hand also I will consider. Wanna dress me bike up. Thanks guys!

 

Anyone with lobang pls sms 91462309

[longdistancejock]

woah... you guys ride serious bikes. Well, i just ride my humble atlantic 200 though. Aprilia rocks.

[shinya]

Hahaha....that also came to my mind when i replied "should i drop my number on the thread?" Cos seems i am new here for sure i don't have any number of you lah~~~

 

Anyway, i am looking forward to the next chance to know you guys.

 

I remember around 2-3 month ago i meet 1 RS250 and 2 RS125 at PG, wondering if they are also part of this group~

 

Cheers,
