Yes, size 7 or 21 (Denso) is kinda hot.

in your user manual, wats size spark plug to use?

for asia climate, common size to use is size 8 or 9 (Denso 24 or 27).

the hotter your plug, the better torque u get. but its gonna be too hot for your engine. the colder your plug, the better top speed u get. but might run lean.

 

manual says NGK/CR7E , hmm , haven't taken out my plug to check the condition yet , anyway bought another 7 irridium plug , lan lan have to use it lol ...

 

thank for the reply scoobydoo

might be able to see you guys at KKFC , my ex deauville group meeting there too

[patrick1131]

for long distance travelling, going to generate a lot of heat, better to use size 9.

 

i used 7 to went up and back sgp :(

should have asked you

[CCK]

Did some minor "enhancements" :

 

A. Metzeler Feelfree front / rear and balancing

B. EBC front / rear brake pads

C. Headlight switch

D. Horns

E. Hazard lights

F. Convenience hook

G. Radiator grill

H. Rear brake bypass for starter

I. Side stand bypass for starter

J. Top box brake LED

 

Most changes cannot be seen but more for convenience / functionalities. Old rear tyre had a 2" screw w/o my knowledge and had been using it!!! *OMG* also tyres had some bulge at the edge of the grooves which might have accounted for some wobbiness.

Previously had handlebar wobble at 60kmh when let go both hands. Seems to have resolve the wobbiness but still monitoring as don't dare to speed with new brake pads yet.

 

Hi Uncle. Possible to share which shop you go for Metzeler tires changed plus balancing? Thank you in advance.

hi CCK, because it wasn't the lowest price available, I thought it's not too nice to publish it publicly. But it is the only one I can find that can balance our rear tyres. Maybe some other riders who know shops that can balance our rear tyres can also provide some leads. When I looked at the balancing machine, it wasn't something space-age that's different from any other shop's balancing machine. The difference is they have the adaptors to hold the rear wheel and the machine looks new and well-maintained. I have PM you the contacts.

 

So far, the handlebar wobble has shifted down to the lower 20-30km/h range and is less prominent. Which is good because I travel at the 60km/h region. It seems to also depend on the engine rpm and CVT position, meaning some other parts of the whole power transmission are not balanced.
