bros, if change from stock to racing footrest does the gear shift be of opposite from stock?

 

e.g.

stock has to kick down to up gear

racing has to kick up to up gear??

 

had to ask because someone told me it changes the gear shift pattern or else our engine will scratch something like that.

Not opposite. Still the same. But you can make it to kick up to up gear.

and where can i buy the exhaust protector uh? those rubber looking bands around the exhaust end? how much? can use on triovals? does it deform the shape?

 

lol so many question. :S

For tri oval get something as unique as these sliders instead. Be warned though. This is not cheap.

From what i know, when you change to racing footrest, your gear shift remains the same. Still the 'kick down to up gear'. If you reverse the gear box and clutch plate, your gear shift will be the opposite way. But i'm not really sure if it will scratch the engine. Need to clarify with the experts here. and I'm looking for the same exhaust protectors. Wing Yap selling for 30-40bucks while Hua Chin only 10+. But at Hua Chin, stock has never been arriving since months ago.

Those rubber protectors destroys the look of your aftermarket pipes IMO. If you like to DIY those can be made for just about 10+ also.

Actually bro, my mech say theres no difference coz the level to kick up or down the gears remains the same. Only the shifter on the footrest change its position. So, yup. Personally, i think if you wanna play pick up... Kicking down its best la. Fast. ^.^

  duo said:

Can. With a bit of mod it should work just as good.

 

 

That one is new part?

 

Actually that is one of the easiest item to install.

 

Haha bro do enlighten me.. What mod in order to work just as good ?

 

The fork stabilizer so hard to install for me. maybe it's just me...

 

  duo said:

How to make it kick up gear? I don't like the idea of the current footrest to kick down to up gear

If i had those fixed on earlier, i wouldn't have scratch marks on my pipe which now, looks more destroyed. Sighh..

I agree, kicking down is better. For me that is. but afraid won't get use to the 'up' shift when i upgrade. Hahaha!

A little mod that involves welding and drilling. All is not lost. If you are still ineterested in installing your fork brace can PM me.

Kudos to you duo for being the most active dude here. You answered all the "FAQ" from the newcomers. Baik sekali~

 

For those who are new, i urge you to come to our outings to learn more stuff about your Spark, be it external or internal modification(s). Of course you need to be active here to know what's going on. We're a group of fun guys so no worries about being eaten alive.

stock footrest better or racing foot rest ??

where can i get the slider? looks cooler than having the rubber, price wise?

 

thanks for clearing the doubts about the footrest

its just that my brother claims his friend's spark kick up to up gear after installing racing footrest.

[Dzesario]

Can. I always share the good stuff.

[jims]

bro can i ask what kinda engine oil you use and where you buy them?

so far i have been going to my motordiam to change and im looking to change myself. (:

 

and secondly, what petrol you all pump? my dad told me to pump esso 98 and i have been doing that for the past 1 month but with the ever rising cost of gas, is it necessary to pump 98? and would changing petrol alter / damage the engine??

 

thanks for all your help bro!
