Find a good fren who rides... And kick, push...

 

Classic answer!

 

Kick his butt and push him over the cliff. That's what a true friend does anyway.

If I'm gonna do fork, I will prefer a workshop that has a dedicated air-conditioned suspension room and measures amount of oil in fork by measuring air gap instead of pouring into a beaker.

 

Front Fork Inspection points:

1. Check the front fork for external oil leakage.

2. Check the inner fork leg for scratches, dents or other defects (that might harm the seal/bushing).

 

If above is in satisfactory condition, I would only service my forks either 2 yearly or every 20,000km.

 

Any workshop you recommend?

[charlxx]

From malaysian cub prix fb eh? Hahaha. CP115 la siaaa

 

 

 

Once a year is fine unless your seals leak. I once said before that it's okay to play around with the weight of the oil, but not the quantity of the oil. According to manual the amt of fork oil is 64ml, recommended oil would be 10w. Those who want to get the manual, idk how to pass to u haha but i have it. Everything from specific tightening torque to valve clearance for the t135.

 

I want the manual! I can self collect!

Whahaha.... If frens are like that, who needs enemies... Ehhe, what i actually mean was he ride his bike, and his fren kick his bike... So they can move along, malaysia style... Not many can do it... So dont do it, if you have not done it before... Cheers

Understood la... Most malaysian cub does that at NSH to save petrol. I doubt that method will work well when crossing the causeway, on the expressway still rather easy I must say. But then again, an epic fail can happen.

hi saw on Sbf spark135 fb tat someone take order for accs for our bikes ...

juz wondering can we place order here as well ???

[Fried Rice]

does anyone knows what is the recommended tire pressure according to the manual?

 

front 29 psi - rear 33 psi?

 

what is your personal recommendation?

There's a cornering and normal pressure. For cornering, the pressure is lower, if im not wrong 160/180? For me, best is 200 front 220 rear. I don't know what's psi is it. Hope it helps!

thanks for your recommendation and information.

 

i have managed to dig out the recommended tire pressure from the manual. it is 200/225.

It will depend on tyre size too. To me no such thing as cornering or normal pressure. Its only cold or warm. But what do I know?

Go ask around... the workshop I go don't entertain small bike like ours.

Pressure Units of Measurement:

PSI - Pounds Per Square Inch

kPa - Kilo Pascal (1000Pa)

Bar - Bar

 

1 Bar = 100,000Pa = 14.5038PSI

Hence - 220kPa = 32PSI

 

General Knowledge

Different tires has different specification.

Example is like a bicycle tire can inflate to around 90PSI but the size is much smaller compared to a car or motorcycle. A bicycle tire has a curved road contact.

 

Varying the tire pressure is finding the best or a personal balance between handling, grip and wear.

 

Lowering the pressure increase cornering grip but comes at the expense of stability and feel. Lower pressures decrease straight-line stability, and regardless of how talented the rider is, most street bikes spend a high percentage of their time in the straight. A side benefit of using the proper pressure is that the front tire will feel more precise and turn in quicker.

You can easily overheat your tires simply riding in a straight line by running the pressure too low. Remember, the lower pressure is to ensure a large contact patch, which is created by the carcass flex. The same process happens when you're not cornering.

 

Common Misunderstanding

Myth: Most riders always thought lowering the tire pressure means it is for corning because most riders always lower their pressure during a track day.

Truth: A tire goes under tremendous amount of abuse on a track day and as such gets much hotter than road riding. The difference in this amount of heat will expand the air inside the tires and make up for the initial lower pressure and bring it to near the manufacturers recommended tire pressure.

 

Self Test

Riders can try pumping extra 10% of air and try going into a corner versus less 10% of air (I.e, 33PSI and 27PSI). The difference in feel of entering the corner will be quite significant.

Riders are to do this test at own risk

 

Conclusion

Unless you ride like 250km/hr and slam your brakes into a bend, power slide out every filter lane and in almost every 10-20 seconds. I strongly advise road riders to stick with manufacturer's recommended tire pressure.

double post.

hi guys. I need advice. my koso meter reads error 3. and my rpm is not following . also when I start up my bike. the meter takes long to start. slow. any1 exp the same issue ??

Well said from a trackie... Hehehe

Just to add on abit... Air pressure pump in also need to input whether pillioning or not. Cheers..

Bro anything u did to the meter recently? Mine last time not error, but the meter died. The power to the meter was plugged out. It helps to check the wiring and in your case, could also be the batteries.

If you saw it there why didnt you place the order there? I believe you could leave your number by PM-ing them.

Sounds like it is faulty already or just improper installation. Good luck.
