Saw a pretty nice RS250, red color SIGG race paintwork, single seater. Looks nice, don't know about engine. Selling at $3K at Albert Motor. Somebody looking for 250 isn't it?

 

RG500...is this bike even legal in Singapore? I though all 500 are race bikes, non road legal.

 

Just saw the Walterwolf at Race Werks...cruel looking man, looks like can eat my 250 for breakfast till supper...

Walterwolf if i not wrong is rg400.... i don even know have that bike in sg till a few days ago i saw it at race werks

I should be riding tomorrow, send my bike to BIkelab to do shock on saturday.

 

The stock walterwolf...looks somehting like a RD actually, quite ugly. The one at Race Werks is modded, dunno USD forks from what bike, single piece tail with 2 end cans underseat. and 2 more exhaust at the side. The engine is inline4 though.

 

Er...walterwolf is 400cc if I'm not wrong, not 250. I also saw a (even rarer?) RGV250 at Marina, Telefonica Movistar paintwork. Quite nice actually! Also saw 2 PGM at Racewerk... sadly, like most Honda bikes, they lose out in looks to suzy and aprilia...

 

Waiting for my Paypal to clear, should recieve my clutch in 2 weeks. Still thinking where to send it to install.

 

oh btw, no doubt a 990 cc MotoGP is more powerful (200+hp..KNN how to fight) that a 500 2 stroke, but acceleration and handling not too sure. Though of course a 4 stroke is much more easier to control and predict than a 2 stroke, especially when you have excessive power on tap. And you can ride a 4 stroke anytime...I'll really jump on the chance to hop on a 500cc 2 stroke....

Dry clutch cant be used in Malaysian Super Series. U send to bike lab to do front fork or rear ? How much ?

i forget to tell u that installing dry clutch to yr bike wun make big difference if yr bike hp never increase a lot from stock... but still have difference only lesser than expected...

have la bro...you stationery rev it up..it pass by 2.5k rpm got one small click sound... that time visor showed me...

 

eh you very bad...really got bad blood with him siah...give that guy a break la

 

bro sat coming anot? can i be your veggie fr the night?

[macan_putih]

and i forget to add...might be bringing my cousin for the outings..he not yet pass so most prob i will have to pillion him.sigh....

[speedkills]

thats cool man...theres always something called public transport..

 

ok..very tiredz.. ciaoz guys...

[Visor]

I cant seem to feel my valve opening anymore(the sensation when u hit 7K rpm and bike shoot forward?).. My bike can still accelerate fast, and it runs fine though.. I dunno maybe i imagining it... Anyone knows how our bikes run when valve not opening?

 

valve should be stucked.Remember the previous DIY?.. i'm using unil opal 2t as well but i did not wash my valve for 2months and it got stucked due to stubborn carbon stains.Maybe i should open my valve more often like muser as his valve does not get jammed even w/o months of cleaning.

 

Increased 2T consumption comes from increasing the jet size?

Can I turn the 2T consumption down a notch by turning a knob somewhere?

 

Andre, is it safe to decrease your 2t intake?hm...?

 

Oh can i join you guys for lunch this sunday?maybe if possible i'll give you guys a treat too!(like that sure can come right?.. haha)

Can I turn the 2T consumption down a notch by turning a knob somewhere?[/b] I can't remember which way you turn the 2T knob either, argh. Interesting that your 2T consumption's gone up by so much. Who did your bike? I would guess they upped the pump setting. But to put this in perspective, your current 2T setting's where mine was before I recently increased it. Heh.   How's your bike's temperature doing, by the way?   Originally posted by DeusExMachina+--> QUOTE (DeusExMachina) Besides, I'm an ex-Aprilia rider.[/b] Don't draw lines like that lah - I haven't met you in person either.   Originally posted by macan_putih anyway how cum my bike dont have e valve clicking sound leh..........can some one enlighten me Most bikes with functioning power valves click at 2.5k rpm, but not all of them. Mine doesn't - despite lots of checking, cleaning and lubricating - but it works just fine. Maybe yours is like mine. I'm assuming it's not stuck, is it?

er...why can't be used?

 

I'm sending to service and modify an Ohlins rear I have for my 250. Supposedly $300 exluding spring. Front should be sending to Mezzo for $200. PM me if you know a better place?

haha, I know. Just for the fun factor, the rarity etc. The other parts to increase power (pipes, heads, pistons) are quite readily available but the SP dry clutch is pretty rare, so...

 

And I wanna try a dry clutch system. I don't think it requires power matching, cos all the big cc bikes using wet plates anyway. But just saw a noisy 998 with noisy dry clutch though, not sure if it's stock.

[obitrok]

all ducati superbikes run on dry clutches. the reason why some are louder than the rest is whether they ventilate their clutch and also, a knackered clutch will sound louder too.

 

**Show support for Vivi! shes been so 'on' about the outing. Support her guys!

A 500cc GP bike straight from the factory will be producing around 230 hp at the rear wheel

The 500cc MotoGP machines produced around 200 RWHP. But those were highly tuned bast4rds that had narrow and vicious powerbands. The type that was waiting for you to accidently find it whilst leaned over in a corner, so that the bike could highside you over the broadside of a barn.

 

Roadbikes have milder horsepower. The roadgoing RG500 engine, stock as it is, could only deliver that much. To extract the max out of it, you'd have to extensively modify it to the point that you'd probably need a rebuild every 2000km.

See the bottom of this post for the correct one, which was also posted on the previous page.   Originally posted by berukblue@ Hey mine has no click too at 2.5rpm but its working fine....you me same same man Hey, seems like the no-click thing isn't all that rare! People, the most important thing is to check that the valve system is actually functioning, including the motor, etc - if you take out your left fairing, you'll be able to see the end of the valve motor, which will actually move at 2.5k rpm. That's what causes the clicking in most bikes. Mine simply moves without clicking. If this isn't clear to anyone, I'll show you at an impromptu DIY.

The wierd thing is that it used to be clicking at 2.5k. I once went for a really slow cruise around this cemetary for fun one night. 2nd Gear 2k-3k RPM and everytime it goes past 2.5k i would hear the click. Maybe i'm going deaf...or should i one more round around that cemetary

Mine clicked for months too. Something like 2 months ago, it stopped clicking. Valve washed, cable checked, valve motor linkage heavily drenched in WD40 - still no click, but the valve is most definitely working, based on engine response, sound, and power delivery. I revved to 2.5k rpm with my left fairing off and could actually see the valve motor linkage sliding quickly and smoothly, back and forth, silently.

That's what they call 'Silent Killer' i suppose... You'll outrun anybody before they realise your valve is actually open...
