suggest u look up at the classified or garage sales if u got full cash or have lobang for reloan(Hitachi credit). If not u can try bikeshops which I normally wun recommend as the condition is usually not ideal no doubt they claim 1 mth warranty which in the end u still hav to spend alot on wear and tear items. if unlucky will clash with the salesperson in the end if communication part is not properly done(preferably black & white is written of wat they promise u). Dun be taken into by their friendliness as its their tactics.

The jets control the amount of fuel that is injected into the carburettor, because there is much more air coming into the engine at higher revs a much larger jet is needed to supply enough petrol, at lower revs though a much smaller jet is needed to give fine control so that the bike idles and runs at low speeds without needing to be incredibly rich.

 

They fueling changes over from the pilot jet to the main jet at around 5-6k rpm depending on the bike so often there is a slight stumble here on a poorly tuned bike.

 

If you change to a high flowing air filter like K&N or add a free flowing exhaust pipe then the engine can pull in more air and expel exhaust quicker and easier, you often have to install new jets of a larger size to match the increased gas flow you will get. This is called "re-jetting" or often commonly referred to as carb tuning.

 

There are various settings available for each jet size generally as well for fine adjustment.

thks zero. new stuff learn from u again

for my info, none of the blades come with an on/off switch for headlights. the switch is normally added on which cost oni $10 or less. My current switch is spoilt due to rain, I intend to fix an another switch which cost ard $30 which is waterproof and looks better. Recommended by my mech

well if the deal is below $5k even after interest adding interest, u can still consider the offer. Depending hw many yrs of instalment u wan to pay for it. of coz the condition of the bike muz be gd den will consider a gd deal. If u trying to find a low budget blade, chances are u will still need to spend a bomb on repair even if the bike is below $4k. (if u read thru the forum) Of coz there are oso chances tat u will be lucky to find a gd & cheap blade

that bike which i went to view, seems not bad, but me very new to bike, somemore dun really noe the bike well. the owner told me need to change some wear and tear and touch up, which my fren calculate for me is about $500 or abit more. then currently the bike instalments is under albert motor, which that time i ask a cbr from them, they got charge this fee (stamp fees-about $300), which i duno wat kind of fees is that. so + all the repair n touch up + trsf fees + the unknown fees then without the interest and insurance is about $4k + to $5k lo..
