Yes I m jiawei

[jiaweii.jw]

I am having check up at 0845 so I cant join you guys

[jiaweii.jw]

Kip, did you sand your old pain away before spraying??

[chiaph]

ya i reply le! but u didnt reply! can! but i thought hong leong need to call and book de?

 

I went down yesterday and was told to turn up on Monday as the guy who is need wasn't there. Regarding the booking, it's for servicing as told by the Malay lady.

[chiaph]

Just wanna know why the decision to change from 125 to 15.

Cause im thinking of the 2.. interms how it feels like riding, which feel better.. such

 

My parent disapprove me of ridding on large and heavy machine due to my knees injuries and my size/height as the machine place much stress on my knees when coming to stationary. I aren't sure what others will say but it seems that 125 is much better than 15 in terms of performances. Not trying to offense other 15 riders. It's just my personal thoughts only.

I think in terms of color only. Just like 125 model.

[jiaweii.jw]

probably it will end at around 10? i dont know my friend say maybe 30 mins only.

Regarding the squeching sound, is it from your tank? If it is, normal... If ur brake pad is rubbing ur brake disk, you will find it quite hard to push ur bike backwards, it should be as easy or little effort as pushing ur bike forward.

 

As for the alightment, it may be due to many causes. If you drop ur bike or accident before the alightment will change. Maybe ur handlebar is bent or ur bike frame an fairing is not straight. It's normal to have plus minus abit one. As long as ur bike is gg straight is alrite. When u reach high speed, it would go straight no matter what. Cos bikes r two wheels and according to psychics, the two wheels will be Inline. Thats why the faster to go the harder to turn ur handlebar, like is locked on like that. One way to check is to spin ur wheel, see the wheel is spinning correctly straight and no like crooked....

I'm pretty sure it's not coming from the tank but the wheels/pads. Yes it's very hard to push off. How to resolve this issue?

Wow?! Your friend is a very young boss then.

Im interested in your insurance price. What is quoted to you?

 

He quoted me 1.4k for 2nd party insurance. For 3rd party abt $900? N charging me $250/mth if I can make a downpay of 2k... I wonder is it a good deal?

I have the same issue but when it rain it's gone.. I don't know how to fix it

Hellow Jiawei!!!

I did not do that however my paint is of higher quality and it bites into the frame. However,after each coat,I use hair drier and allow 30mins before another coating layer. All together,3 layers.

R125 was designed to be ON THE TRACK for the 125 cc class. R15 is a hybrid of road and racing. Look at the tires and bike set up,u know R125 is battle ready.

WELL SAID...

I think its overcharging. $250 per month is like paying for S4 bikes.

Change your brake pads. Check your brake disc for warp or dent. Check your rim bearings.

 

My check up is at 845, but is r125 as fuel efficient??

R125 and R15 is fuel economy until u decide to open throttle too much!!

[jiaweii.jw]

Mine not hard to push.. Just sometime have squeaking sometime don't have.. So I am gonna kiv see what will happen.. And kip where you buy your paint I wanna DIY my bike cause I skidded.. My number is 8oneone828sixsix

[chiaph]

bring the bike to Hong Leong for checking tomorrow. my brake pad still new/stock so don't intend to change yet.

Wouldn't it be that riding r15 is almost the same as R125? In terms of size that is.. haha
