Dear Senior, i got my r1 04 on roadlast month.

I would like to ask it is Normal the temperature for this machine go above 100 in normal stop at traffic light condition (town ride). Unless the bikeis moving, else the temperature will continue to spike as i monitor till > 115.. Need your advice here.

well sadly speaking for 04 models onwards ( underseat exhaust its quite hot and it was designed this hot in order for R1 to be hot )

 

but there are a few things u can do to lower the temperature or minimize the heat

 

1) change the y-pipe

2) use those better coolant like engine ice etc

3) use exhaust heat wrap to wrap from the mid pipe till the underseat y-pipe but comestic wise may not be so good-looking

[dino86]

any idea whr can i get the y pipe and wads the damage??

the best is u can go down to biketech21 .... price wise depends on how u nego

[RYSK]

Thanks lo-on for the advice.

The temperature went so high as you said is designed to be hot:)

I tried using the better coolant like you suggest, but when it go overheat and coolant overflow, it is so wasted. Changing the Y-pipe help? i tot the heat is from the engine block area near radiator?

[fufu]

i think u need to check ur coolant pipes and tang ki 115 is too high.. i never go above 110 even in jam

 

check ur fans too

[kaii69]

ya lo 115 damn hot sia! Change y pipe will help! Can feel not so much heat coming out

Uhmm I guess ya coolant level might be low...buy a coolant... DIY flush out old coolant and top up and try... Usually e fan kicks in at 106degrees...better get it checked before e air pressure builds up and blows up e radiator hose... My friends blackbird got kena before.. And it's nasty to have hot coolant splashing on e bike and e rider... Cheers

anyone selling their own or aftermarket footrest? Can kindly pm me k. Thanks

[AEROR1DER]

yup ... renew beginning jan ....

oh u need to take 3 months and average out the COE ...

 

example if your COE expires on may this year, u need to sum up the COE from feb till april, then divide by 3 and that will be your renewal price .... LTA will also send u a letter, informing the price of your renewal

[TinyTanic]

i am and its good. my second pair already

 

Icic... How much u get it for??? And drizzling rain got problem anot???

460 i think. any tyre on rain also problem la but personal feel on rain with this pair of tyres for me is quite stable but on lane markings becomes total **** lo

Michelin power pure. Excellent in wet and dry road. 190/55 very good for cornering.

very light too.

engine can get pretty hot in sg weather.. the top end is abit short on power.. the sound of the downshift sounds like a twin.. apart from that, the rearsets are crappy, change to an aftermarket one... dont try to pillion anyone cause the plastics wont help to shield any heat away...

Its the linear torque curve that doesn't make you 'feel' the pull toward the top end like the 08 and predecessors because thats where all the power is.

 

Positive in terms of track performance, of course. Positive in terms of streetability - who fully utilises a literbike and all 180+ horsepower of it on the street?

 

The power variances between each of the many literbikes, Kawa, Gixxer, CBR1kRR, BMW S1KR, Aprilia RSV4, KTM RC8 and duke 1198 really arent enough for one to choose one over another unless they're pro tracking, because useable power and available power are two very different things.

 

BMWS1000R or the 2011 Kawa ZX-10R = Immediate bragging rights for available peak horsepower. But, try and use all of it on the street, and you're most likely gonna end up dead.

 

I think that's why the decision on getting any bike at all is a holistic one, and minor differences and advantages really don't have much of a lead in winning an argument on what bike to choose.

 

I say, go for the bike that makes you drool, dream about, have that warm feeling inside and that makes you feel that you couldn't have done any better. (except maybe owning a 1198R or desmosidici or a MV )

 

Just my 2 cents! :) :thumb:
