Anyone up for Kopi session again tonight?hopefully this time somewhere at the west-side?hahaa... my suggestion is the pratashop after kent ridge park.

Yo bro,

 

Haiz, if i had my license, i'd be zooming by for any kopi session, North, South, East or West... But till i get my license, i'd be limited to Kopi sessions around my area only.. Lol..

 

Btw, any particular reason you need to get new rear shocks by Aug? I also wanna get, but it take time to save up esp if i'm going to get a after market one like what you plan to..

hi pony... so u r jude ah? alex here man... just started chatting here few days ago

alex, i mean. noraml full service take out block wash valve and so on. need gaskets only rite...when u DIY tell mi leh.. wan to learn haha... u know xiao hei rite... last time ride a malaysia 250 one, he tell mi can buy rgv block. but i'm wondering where to get tthe block cheap. he like got tell mi but i forget liao.. rgv and our original block u tried b4.. any big differnt or comment~~feel like importing my own jollymoto, cheaper..

[spiderman]

o ok.. take out block need base gasket and head gasket unless u don wan to dismantle the head when u take out.... exhaust gasket also change lah if u have the money... RGV block seems to have slightly different port time as compared to the stock aprilia block... i used before new one... cannot even compare to my old aprilia one... y not send to ah zhai for nickelsil? one new aprilia block cost 700 plus but nicklesil for one is 500 plus.... the rgv one is around 450 plus:giddy:

i see isee. they say if combustion weak. i take the block head and skim. improve combustion.but if need to remove block, dun need remove the head also can wash the valve izzit..must teach mi..haha.

[warren84]

the xaio hei say he know one place buy rgv block only 200 plus, very cheap. u got original airbox. i wan to try use leh. dun dun mine.

sure anot 200 plus? can ask him where anot? if have then i buy some to do research... better don any how skim the head.... compression too high sure jam...

hm... well seems not a lot lah... did the temp raise after u change yr jetting?

did u check yr plug colour? cos i still think drop of 20 is too much....

[-fspider-]

screw the accident...

fifty fifty... no one's to blame... stoopid van...

jus cursing...

i see isee. they say if combustion weak. i take the block head and skim. improve combustion.but if need to remove block, dun need remove the head also can wash the valve izzit..must teach mi..haha.

compression weak due to wat??

loose piston ring and stuffs??

i guess it's better not to do anything to the cylinder unless ya sure about it...

meanwhile can try, single piston ring, hi-comp gasket, hi comp cylinder head and hi comp spark plug.. these are the changes ya can do to increase ya compression..

hi comp gasket also not advisable for road...

temp up fast... stock radiator? hmmmmm...

hi comp cylinder head meaning?

 

n ya sorry abt yasin... i noe the place... used to love the murtabak... alwaes a challenge to eat finish... dunno if its still the same... newae will try to e there next time..

hi... since when got hi comp spark plug? never heard of it leh and single ring will have even less compression in the low and mid...

Oi Alex, you never read my long story ah? Temp went down after re-jetting. My plug used to be fouled every month - rich until cannot be richer already. Currently still a bit rich, which is about just nice.

i'd tested his bike and it runs fine.. smooth thru the rev...

which is why i'm interested to pay Racewerkz a visit and see how well can they can do a tuning for me...

for a slightly lean mixture it will feel smooth throughout but not really enough pull at high rev.... u will need to comfirm by doing plug chop to be certain... leaner the mixture the higher the temp... so i suggest u try plug chop with 1st gear or second gear first in case really very lean...

[spiderman]

o i tot u say after u clear the system then the temp when down?

well my mistake then...

hi... since when got hi comp spark plug? never heard of it leh and single ring will have even less compression in the low and mid...

hmm.. the hi comp spark plug has long thread and it goes deeper into the cylinder, reducing the space in the cylinder.. producing hi comp per combustion with a lesser space.. just like hi comp gasket and lower cylinder head.. all this are equivalent to skimming the head... to achieve lesser space in the cylinder...

anyway this is wat i think... feel free to comment...

 

hmm mayb ya right bout the piston rings... but then wat performance does it provides that make others wanna use single piston rings?

 

hey 250s owner, ya cylinder thou is not nikasil plated, but it's baron plated? am i correct? cos i'd been asking in the uk forum and they said it's suzuki baron coated? some sort of nikasil like coating..

 

Check this out!

[spiderman]

Got to go... friend's birthday and i'm runnig late!

cake also have not buy....
