come to reliase that my tyre like not stable ...not wobbles but feel very uneasy .... when going to above 140km/h ..... Uncle Member 1144 and Indian Cheif SG : need ur expertise ah ....

Currently using Dunlop K505 size excatly to the spec of the bike.... is this a Stock Tyres.... wow liao if yes kena Corn by Loois motor liao ..... recommand this Stupid Tyres.

Hi Vtec666,

Don't listen to shop- they always want to push that dosen't sell another word "clear stock" that people don't really want. I used to go there before, number of time they tell me to use this use that -I told them give free I take. But when I am paying for it -give me what I want.

Now I change my tyre at convienient places like SPC which provide the tyre changing service too.

As for your dunlop K505 is good to use on hot weather~ once after your tyre warm up you can play corner no problem about that but during raining season try to ride slightly slower and try to avoid those lane markings at all course not forgetting the stop lines too, advise not to play corner on wet season.

 

Maintain the tyre pressure according to the manual. SOLO rding 225psi front and rear 250psi.

 

You must ride your tyre hard another words. As for traveling to west malaysia riding on NS highway should be no problem going at top speed.

 

You can try out by riding on a clear road -**wet or *dry roads ~apply the brakes and see how far the bike stops by comparing it on wet and dry road and on a clear Multi storey car park e.g cement road you will have a rough idea about the tyre's characteristic.

 

*Advise to apply brake at ratio of 80% front and 20% back on warm weather make use of both brakes. If you can practise the so called "**control braking with engine braking" it can help alot on raining season.

 

hope this can help you.

sorry guys, need sum urgent feedback..

wats the average fuel consumption u guys haf for riding in SG?

very huge factor..

Hi xanc,

Average fuel consumption is 17L normal city riding- low consumption is about 19 km/L ~ high consumption is about 16+km/L that for riding at high speed regularily.

 

So far about the vibration you asked earlier- there was no vibration on my bike to the max top speed. Only have those engine vibration below 3000rpm that was before but for now that also I don't have maybe bike have reach the optimum stage. Using a good engine oil helps alot in this area. recommended Motul synthetic V300 15-50W or 10-40W. which ever you can lay your hand.

You need to change the clutch cable and brake hose if yours are original.

 

TP clutch cable.

You need a longer brake hose, at least 2 inches longer than original.

A drill to drill two holes onto the handle bar.

And some tools to dismantle the bike.

Change brake hose and clutch cable, take about an hour.

Chnage handle bar takes about two hours..

Anyone has changed front brake roto, front brake caliper seal and pistons before?

How much for the items?

front brake rotor : $180/pcs

Front brake caliper seal : $42+/set include piston

 

The above price are from HL and exclude installation.

The other 2 place should be cheaper.

Hi Vtec666,

About the tyre do not over throttle e.g doing a quick pick up from a traffic junction on a rainy day, the tyre may over spin under you and you may loose control doing the so called intial "D" drifting- move out normally.

 

Not only you still on OEM handle there are few 'to comfort you':- swift, heyrul, BlackAngel and euro + some lone rangers out there.

 

Changing to TP handle bar- I don't know whether your clutch cable can be rerouted, likewise mine is possible still on OEM cables and by the way not forgetting the choke cable and wirings can be reroute...

 

But your brake hose must be changed.

 

1st sit on the bike adjust the handle bar too a best/comfortable position before any drilling take place for the switches.

THANKS FOR THE TIPS ..... The initial "D " movement .... I have Encounter a few times with these Tyres .....

 

The Handle bar mostly be installing later part when i got the brake hose and cltuch cable ....

More important tyres really must change ....

Its a Life Matter .....

vtec666,

father of Diversion instructions muz follow... if not ur handle bar come a pcs of junk metal.

OEM clutch cable can be routed but it will feel abit of stress.

Ur wire harness(3x) and throttle cables also hv to routed.

For brake hose, u can re-route by release some of the mounting point but for safety reason, it's better to change to SS hose.

 

Below are some list of parts tat u may consider changing from top urgent to least.

1. Tyre => needless to explain ($280-290)

2. brake hose to SS hose => safety reason ($280)

3. Front fork oil change from 5W to 10W ($40+)

4. handle bar => for stability and comfort ($100+)

5. taller wind screen => for travelling ($145+)

6. bigger painners => ur wife will loves u for this

 

Lastly, it takes great pride to see ur bike transform from a simple kuku bird to mean eagle like bats's bikes (pricless)

Add/mod ur stuff at your own pace and when ur $$ allow.

 

PS: our prince of Thailand Euro travel his diversion in stock condition(only taller wind screen, crash bar n BT020) cutting 4 nations 2 times.

Hey wait for me...i may want to change both front and rear brake rotor. Do you think Automachinery would sell cheaper?

after u change ur tyre, rememebr to check ur tyre pressure at any S'pore petrol station.

Ur tyre presure is up to ur own preferance.

Most of us going for 250/290

I go for 300/330 coz I'm on the heavy side.

Rememebr to check ur tyre pressure when it is cold to get correct reading.

Bro Swift,where did you buy the handle bar riser from and at wat cost?

Feel like getting 1 also...Btw,is it difficult to install myself? Should i look out for any of my cables to be re-routed?
