Feedback abt YBR

[taaouicha]

No, it doesn't feel like a toy. It just feels... well, slow. That's all.

 

aiya all 2b/2a bikes are slow ler

i think only way can say bike fast is those 1000cc n above sports/sports touring bikes lol

i know a few 1000cc riders who own a smaller 2b bike to save on petrol

but seriously if ybr can get 50+km/l its a better option than getting a cub as a spare bike

I prefer it to cub because the tank is big as well. Don;t need to pump so often. I pump perhaps once every 2 weeks.

Bro not all 2B/2A bike are too slow.It depend on the skill of rider also.No matter how big your cc if your skill are limited then you cant go fast also.SG Bikes majority all got speed limiter.Dun believe you compare singapore new ZX250 @ Malaysian one.Ditto for cars also you compare our Civic 1.8 and theirs.

hello ppl.

I'm seriously a newbie in tis bike thing.

 

Can anyone tell me, Y whenever I use my rear brake, . there will be a sound like as if two metal part are rubbing against each other? and my rear brake light does nt light up at all when i step on the brake.

checked my brake pad. still ok liao.

 

btw I'm riding a YBR.

[crazydj]

You have to clean your brake shoe and the rear brake. That one have to go to mechanic. I had mine done by cutting grooves and sanding the inside of the housing and the shoes itself. Took about 20 mins to complete.

 

The brake light, you got to open up the right side panel and adjust the "screw" which is connected to the spring.

 

If you not sure, just head down to your trusty mech!

riding YBR for a year plus..Jus wanna to say hi to every one. I love this YBR model.

[silverius24]

hi ragavan,

 

yeaps i've been riding for just over a year and a half. ybr is good, little maintainance and little problems. commuting is a joy.

[crazydj]

It a bike where you forget its yours. Every time i worry about finances for food, work family etc. Then the last thing on my mind is my YBR.

Really.... i go and steal it then!!! :cheeky:

any good recommendations for tyres and where to install? i'm losing confidence in my stock tyres.

I recommend the Michelin Pilot Sporty. Any bike shop will do.

[silverius24]

know how much they cost?

[crazydj]

60 bucks for the back. I think max 120 for the set. Those are good road tyres man.

[silverius24]

cool. what tyres are u using?

 

thinking about adding panniers, but will make mounting the bike more difficult, as well as increase air drag. need some way to increase storage space.

[crazydj]

I am using front Michelin Pilot Sporty, Back is Maxxis Promax Street. I wanna change the rear tyres soon to a Michelin Pilot Sporty.

 

Regarding Side panniers, i think the YBR will look damn ugly with it. Just my opinion though. For your rear box, mine is a Givi E45. 45L of pure goodness which can fit 2 FF Helmets inside.

 

Was thinking of adding side boxes as well, but will have problems squeezing through i think.

[silverius24]

yeah man. if put side panniers have to get used to it. the leg must stretch more, pillion get on and off also difficult. squeeze also difficult. fuel consumption probably affected too. but i want a place to put my armored jacket. my ltd box no space. argh.

 

i'll check out the pilot sporty. where do u do servicing/install tyres. i thinking of unique motorsports. my bike shop don't sell.

[crazydj]

Don't know ah. My bike shop also dont sell. But they will order from the supplier and fix for me one. If you want to know where i go for my servicing, i will PM you ah.

[silverius24]

went to take a look at the e 21s. an old dude told me not to buy, even if it's locked it can be opened. i don't think i'll add panniers afterall. don't want to add weight, make it difficult to mount and dismount, and hinder squeezing.

[aprilia]

Hey guys,

 

i got 1 x original air filter and ngk spark plug for sale together for $5. Is relatively easy to install both items on your own.

 

Contact me @ 81000898 if you guys are interested.

Currently my bike seems to heavy on the expressway. Used to able to reach 90km easily but now takes more time and need to trottle more to reach

90km. Its tend to slow down a lot when going up slope even on the expressway. Is this normal? Anyway you guys mention millage can get more than 40km per litre, but my bike can only get 30+km per litre. Could it be some parts need to be changed. Clutch plate? CDI? Any good mech to recommend?

1. Check your air filter element whether it is flooded with water or not... i used to have this issue on my YBR... The whole thing was a swimming pool and air cannot go in.... hence throttle became sluggish.

 

2. Mileage 40km/l is only achievable if you are verrrrrrrry easy on the throttle... open it slowly and let the bike build revs too cruising speed. Yes you will be the last one off from the traffic junction... but you will be saving petrol.

 

3. Any shop can do YBR.... except yuh loong motor.

[crazydj]

Point 2 is rubbish. XXXratedxxx knows my real weight and i can reach 40km/l.

 

And yes, its a slow bike. Takes you forever to reach 90km/h anyway. I gave up on that after the "loading weight increased due to reasons such as me packing more stuff in my box, etc"

 

Check your air filter. If you feel your clutch plates weird, then it may be your clutch plates. I change gears at 4.5 - 5k RPM. So as a rough guide, i switch to gear 3 at 26km/h, 4 at 38km/h etc. If you are switching at gear 3 at 30 or more km/h at more than 5k rpm, it may be your clutch plates. Or when you open big throttle, suddenly your clutch didnt engage fully, you got to close and open again. Lastly, at 100km/h, my rpm is at 7k plus but cannot reach 8k. If yours more than 9k confirm your plates liao.

 

This is just my feeling.

have u added more weight to the bike? or check tyre pressure. i recently installed a new box and the feel of the bike is different.

 

my mileage can get from about 42-45 l/km, even on stock.
