Bigger contact surface = more friction. Does not take a genius to figure out the rest.

Dun have to disturb the jettings after changing of pipes. Not neccessary unless you know what you are doing. When changing internal components be it from the engine, carbs & so on, you need to understand first how does this part work, what happens when you change it, what are the pros & cons, if change this part will it affect other parts that will require you to change also & lots more.

 

Need to do more research and do not be so gullible and believe easily what mechs or your friends say because at the end of the day, its your bike. Anything happens, the money is gonna come from your wallet.

 

Before thinking of improving your bike's performance, you should be improving your brake system first. No point have a fast bike but cant stop in time in emergency.

Perhaps my memory is failing due to a fatal concussion but I am very sure someone else asked this. Peculiar though. I do not remember you asking this question. Instead it was Nihilas who asked. Again does not take a genius to figure it out.

I think yes will have some gap because Jupiter MX rear rim is wider than Spark rear rim. I believe the new rims you bought were meant for Spark so there is a little space as the rims are less wider. You get what I mean?

hi, anyone of u been summoned for riding on footpath? how much is the summon? and is there any demerit points? thanks.

[Isopropyl]

i did my own oil change and always wonder does the strainer have any real useful application? most bike does not even have a strainer.

 

i have not see anything trap there before and also i think the strainer filter size does not allow it to catch anything at all.

[Isopropyl]

If you feel like removing it by all means do so at your own risk.

It is there for a reason. Ive seen small metal particles trapped there before. Especially after my very first oil change.

Actually no need switch. Inspection time just remove the bulbs. Pole lights are not compulsury to have during inspection.
