Yamaha YZF R1ders

[pirana]

hmmm... i guess i'll try out those recommended by u guys then see which actually fits me better...

 

thanx alot...!!!

 

is it true that softer allows better grip on the corners while harder prolongs the life of the tires and mileage?

 

actually i'm pretty embarrassed asking such simple stuff after riding for so long. last time just bother if it feels ok then ok.

its easy ... always cover her with a blanket when she is sleeping so that to avoid catching flu again ...

 

in case not feeling well, attend to her immediately by feeding her with medicine or bring her to doctor. If not hire private nurse to take care of her lor

Not to mention a smashed up bike or a broken up bike. That depends on the size of the bruised ego...

Tachyon is located at Blk 9004 Tampines St 93 #01-108 Singapore 528838 Tel: 81139137. The bike workshop is now occupying the former Gerry Loois bikeshop. Look for Ah Tak...

 

 

Thanks Aie for the recommendation.

 

I have a noob question to ask and hope i dont get flamed... I cant find the fuel gauge and why is the speedometer in mph instead of km/h?

 

Is everyone else's panel the same?

yes to put it easy to understand, soft ( but with the correct specs meaning 250 front 280 rear ) = better grip

 

hard = better tyre life, lesser wear and tear but also means lesser contact on the road

I cant find the fuel gauge.

hi bros,

 

wana ask 2qns. recently i went up to 7000rpm to go at 160, then a white light lights up, and only goes off when i went under 7000rpm. its e same white light tt comes up and goes off when e ignition key is first turned to "on" position. what does this mean?

 

'08 R1, wats e FC like? when i pump esso, its about 220km+ b4 i go into reserve. while when i pump caltex, its about 200km+. when i first changed to caltex, i went into reserve when i hit 150km+. very weird...

 

thks in advance!

[DazeWei]

My 08 with aftermarket pipe hit reserve at 220-230 but i think not accurate de it depends on riding style. As for the white light i don't know what its call but can set it to light up on different RPM.
