Hi guys, few days ago I got my GPR pipe silencer stolen. I called the agent and he quoted me $150. Is it true it cost that much? Its a GPR 2005S by the way...

 

If it's quoted by the agent, how wrg can it be?

U gave the right model rite?

[Zack83]

Okie... Will consider.

BTW how much u wanna let go ur K&N?

 

U quote ur best price?

Lolx.. Dun too low can Liao...

Yup the right model. Gosh, didnt knew something that look so small can cost that much. Haiz, the downside of using aftermarket product(people wanna steal it)

U might want to be careful with ur new IRC tyre. How they are now I dunno but they used to be scary to use on wet road surface.

They last very long but no point if it does not grip well to the road surface.

I know quite a few Phantom riders.

Their stock tyre IRC.

They tend to skid on wet roads.

 

Things that works using friction doesn't mean it's good when it last long.

If it doesn't wear off it could mean it's not working well.

agree with LTC totally.

 

hard compound = easier to skid on wet road, even if it's slightly wet only. but saves $ coz can tahan very long.

 

soft compound = grip onto road, harder to skid when wet. but more ex coz wear out faster.

 

personally, i'll stick with battlax only. think also no need think.

By right, watever u change on ur bike, is consider illegal..

I suggest clear ur inspection den u change..

[LTC]

so wat tyre u recommend???

 

My personal preference is Dunlop.

Being using it since my previous bike.

I'm not into cornering so this tyre still good for my use and not too expensive.

 

Bridgestone Battlax is quite popular.

 

The below thread can serve as a guide to the pricing of the tyres. I am not selling for them. Just a guide.

My considerations when I buy tyres.

1) How the tyres were stored. Should not be stacked on top of one another. Should be placed vertically on shelves.

2) Tyres should not be more than 6 months in storage. Lifespan of tyres are up to 3 years. Four numbers on the sidewall. 1211 will mean 12th week of 2011. So if ur buying a tyre sometime this week it will be good to get "XX11 " with 11 at the back meaning anytime year 2011.

3) Appearance of the tyres. The coloured lines still present on the tyres. The shine of the tyre. I won't want to pay full price for used tyres.

4) Visual checks of the tyres for bumps or out of shape. Defective tyres can be dangerous to use.

5) Country where tyres are made. To me Japan top quality, Thailand acceptable, Indonesia and Philippines no way as I've seen burst tyres before. U dun want them to burst while ur riding.

 

After the tyre had been fitted on to ur bike just make a check that it is fitted in the correct direction of rotation which can be seen on the tyre sidewall. With the correction direction u get water repel away from the tyre.

 

To know more about specs of tyre and information, on it's sidewall, u should google to find out more.

 

Remember. U pay for wat u get.

I think it falls under decorative lamps.

Not only inspection but ROV can issue u fine (Can't remember how much) for it and afterwhich u have to go for inspection.

[revospeed]

It may be expensive but at least it safe from LTA/TP.

I just got pulled over by LTA. Mine got stolen as well. I used racing kit to cover up the hole to make it less obvious but i still got fined for it. So now i'm just waiting for letter to arrive..

If you wanna put some extra lights, i recommend you to install switches so whenever you see TP/LTA, you can turn them off immediately. No switch,

TP see you = Summon!

Play safe, use switch.

Other factors plays a part also.

The pattern of the tyres. Front and back should be a set as the pattern complements one another.

Thickness of thread.

Proper inflation.

 

Our only contact on the road so must make sure it's good.
