[NinjaLite]

[BlackAngel]

Bro BA,

How much u spend?

Btwn saw u at AMK driving the SSDC car along Ave 2 near junction St 11.

 

Service of fork gasket and oil (20W) = $95

Tightening of cone bearing = FREE

4 Bottles of Maxima Engine Oil = $81

 

Now i'm riding a stallion instead of a crazy horse

 

Yah lah bro,last time got no time to take my class 3. Now in the process

of learning, boh pian.

[BlackAngel]

Hmmmm, $7.5k without panniers. So with panniers, accesories, COE and outlook of bike,market price should be less than $9K. Agreeable?

So BA,

How's the handling - do you find any difference compared to earlier rides... as for the tyre you can go HKL...BT021 i'm trying its ok but I still prefer BT090 handles much better on rain or shine. I don't know about you guys...:-)

My front suspension is much better now than before. After change to 20w,maneovering the bike at bents and sharp corners is comfortable without having trouble thoughts and have the confidence in doing so.

 

Its not so hard in suspension as I thought it would be cos going through humps seems ok.

 

Front hard braking also feels better as the fork doesn't "sink" too much. MW has done a good job and I would recommend the service there.

 

As for the tyres, how much is BT090 compared to BT021? If i'm not wrong,the market price for a pair of BT021 is arnd $360.

 

Give your personnel comments on this BT021 and BT090. Lifespan, profile, tracking ? Thanx

Hi BA,

I've tried the BT090 handling is much better as i say- Haroze took over my front tyre as his front tyre already worn out~ before he push in his bike he was surprise of the tyre handling. As the HKL says the BT090(sticky) tyre would wear inside a year infact it lasted more then that, as for my front tyre have balance about 20%. My rear tyre worn out which lasted almost 2 years, so I just change a pair.

The pilot road II is used by swift you can ask him about the feedback.

 

Hi Quicksilver what bike you are on- different bikes have different handling and control- it all have to do with the type of tyre and the bike weight it carries...

 

BA, the fork oil control the flow that effects the dive. The bike weight plays alot when you do that heavy braking or carrying full load on both panniers and a pillion. Higher viscosity help to prevent the see-saw effect, this does help the road handling at corners, you are on more control on the road and helps to feed the rider(feedback the contact between the tyre and road surface). If possible replace the brake hose too those steel braided hoses. this help on better braking and more precise pressure control on the brake lever.

Hi Buggers,

I've bought the Shoei J-force III "new" open face helmet ~ it's abit on the ex side but it worth all the money- it's light and the air flow inside helmet makes that difference what you are paying for (actually you can feel the air inside the helmet) and the Shoei quality you cannot beat that -now i have cooler head not sweaty head- he,he,heee!

Silverghost...:-)

[BlackAngel]

Thanx for the feedback. Btw I've already own steel braided hose. Yes,I'm totally agree on the fork comments.

For the tyres,maybe I would try the BT090 rather than BT021 as it is more lasting.

 

Sometimes after made some repairs and touch-up,its just difficult to let go of my divvy,hehhehe.

 

I believe the helmet cost around 700+ and im not surprised by the price,its a shoei,what can I say.

Hi BA,

The open face helmet J-force III cost about $400/- at ChongAik. For the Bt090 tyre after a short ride you can see alot small pebbles stick to the tyre and the confidents you dare to take much deeper corner trust me on this but on the BT021 I don't see that much.

Hi quicksilver,

Your bike is made for speed and have the least wind drag and for a 1300CC it is still much lighter then then divvy 900. cheers!

021 or pilot road 2

Maybe we can help by listing out the price

pilot road/set $

021 /set $

M6 /set $

Uncle u very rich lar... buy shoei flap up & now open face...

Shoei is good but aftermath is very bad.

Basically u have to carry ur helmet everywhere you go. Why buy something tat u hv to worry abt...

hmm dun know helmet got fire & thief insurance or not...

[mctan]

With BT020 or 021 on divvy 900, no problem in taking corners and scatch footpad.

I have used Pilot road for two rounds already... verdict... :thumb:

At the moment, i am trying out BT021, which is the upgraded version of BT020. It is made of hard compound on the centre and softer compound on the sides for better grip when cornering....verdict so far... :thumb:

 

As for the price,

 

BT021 - 1 set - $280 (from everbright)

Pilot Road - 1 set - $300 (From sounthern motors)

 

Hope that helps...
