Hi DeusExMachina,

 

I too was at the track on 26th March but I signed up for the earlier session. Too bad we didn't get the chance to introduce ourselves. I was riding the yellow 900SS.

 

 

Woay!! I saw your 900SS... I was looking around for an RS250.

 

 

Oh well.... better luck next time then!

Roadster> now I know who you are.

so when are you gonna take the RS250 down to PG?

still haven't fitted the tires, chain and sprocket and the pipe is sitting in the spare room waiting. I was told by leonard that Ahboy has aftermarket windscreens (cheap) for the RS125's and 250's

Axxis> What took you so long to figure that out? ; )

 

Still experiencing some friction/noise with my chain and sprockets. Dunno if that is normal. Might change that first before taking it to the track.

 

Can't make it this weekend and the track is booked for the next 2 weekends. Might take leave and go down on a weekday just to try it out.

 

Will head down to LAB this evening to check out the windshields.

Sadly the RS250 was in no shape to be ridden on the track that day.

 

Ah Boon said the valve couldn't open fully and furthermore some cable that is attached to the valve had broke and had to be replaced.

Roadster mind if i ask when did u go down to ah boon? erm. when u go down did he take anything and pass it to u i mean from another bike.............

[Axxis]

Roadster> I very slow one lah!

:s

 

My valve also needs servicing. On the day I rode it home from work it only opened occasionally and seemed to just stutter at other times. I think the bike was sitting without being ridden for quite a while and the owner has lost love for it after he got his "new" bike.

 

I think the taking leave idea and going on a weekday morning sounds excellent. hmmm...

[lacrimosae]

denis,

Please post the photos of the last Italian Bike meet up.

 

Thanks.

White7,

 

I left it there on Sat and collected it the following Sat.

 

Care to explain why Ah Boon would take something from another bike to pass to me?

No offence taken. But to answer your question, Ah Boon did not pass any parts from any other bike to me.

How old is your bike? What plate?

 

Since buying it, have you ever had it looked at by a mechanic? If not, you should definitely go as soon as possible.

 

You say you've been riding your bike for 3 weeks, but how many km have you covered? I change my gear oil every 1000km. What kind of 2T oil are you using?

 

What kind of minor problems have you had with your bike?

 

Many of us go to Ideal Motor Sports at 10 Kaki Bukit Rd 1, but I've also heard people mention First Motor and others. If you bring your own oil, basic servicing at Ideal costs $30, excluding the cost of any parts (like spark plugs) you need changed. Would you consider that expensive?

I really dunno what my timing is... Past 2 track sessions, I was totally having fun running around and didn't get anyone to time me.

 

Next time I go down, I'll ask someone to do it for me. Actually I've been wondering too. I don't think I'm fast though. I hope I'm under 2mins though... really hope...

 

 

Actually I feel that a 600 is faster than a 1000 in PG. Those tight turns are perfect for smaller bikes.

 

 

Exiting a corner in PG is always stressful for me. Everytime I see the bike ahead start to pull away from me, I open up my throttle a bit more..... and experience rear tyre slippage... the thing whips and slides. So I end up maintaining throttle... and use the straights to catch up a bit. Man I suck....

 

I'm still running OEM Dunlop D218. They slide a lot. I'll time myself on these tyres next session, and when I change them to maybe DCs, I'll time myself again.

wah....y u make it sound like R1 is so difficult to handle huh?

[eyz]

haha denis, since when big bikes are easy to handle??

i think Deus is talking about the power the bike can deliver..

it's simply too powerful, just with a little throttle, it will throw you to the back of the seat..

unlike our small little lamb.. full throttle also no laksa.. haha

that's why we need class 2a and class 2 licence to handle bigger CCs bikes..

[redridinghood]

anyone having exams soon? wanna go study now? i going with sols..

[DeusExMachina]

It's easy to handle.... on wide roads like NSH, or maybe bigger track like Sepang.

 

But on smaller tracks like PG... a 600 is much easier to ride there. Even a 250 might be able to eat an R1 in the corners... don't be surprised. It all depends on the rider. But smaller bikes are easier to handle, and as such... there'll be a greater number of fast riders on smaller cc bikes.

[eyz]

i think ben is having exam too..

but i think he don't study 1...

haha

[redridinghood]

lolx. if even I study, i think everyone else would.. hahaha..
