forgot the shop name lah

been there for a long time. Dun think will chop but you never know. I wish I could be there but tomorrow working so asking my dad. Passing him strict instructions not to be chopped.

 

BTW, you guys heard of this product:

http://www.cbr600f4.com/secondary_pages/scottsfilter.htm

 

Looks interesting and heard there's one for TLRs. But after reading this one:

http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Filters.html#OilFilters

 

There's a new type of filter being marketed, the "laser cut stainless steel filter," which we're told is "good for the life of your vehicle."

 

These filters typically have 35-40 micron holes, which is really not acceptable. They typically have 30-40 square inches of filter material, which is really not acceptable. A paper based element is a 3 dimensional filter - when a particle gets stuck deep in the filter element, oil can still flow around it. The stainless steel elements are 2 dimensional - when a particle gets caught, one of the holes is clogged up.

 

I don't see how you can assure that all the holes get cleared out when you clean these. Certainly simply soaking the filter in kerosene is not going to release particles that have been jammed into a hole at 60psi. Blowing the filter out with air sounds good, but a motorcycle filter is too small to let an air hose inside.

 

These stainless steel filters cost about $120, about 25 times what I pay for a Pure One. Since I use my filters for about 8,000 miles, that means I have to go 200,000 miles to break even. I've never put more than 60,000 miles on a vehicle.

 

I don't think this technology is ready to use yet. When the holes get down to 20 microns, and the surface area up to about 100-150 square inches, then I think I'll consider using one. Meanwhile, "good for the life of your vehicle" is not an impressive claim if the device shortens the life of your vehicle.

 

Now doubtful liao... :confused: :confused:

back from Loois.

No dyno. sorry guys.

ahakz...

I explained to him the problem. He simply did a Teka remap and some test-rev. You won't believe how rich I was running by the black smoke emitted. Wondering how come never noticed it before.

Anywayz, have past 190km rite now with still quite a lot of petrol left and not yet reserve. Let's see if it can get past 200. Ahakz...

can feel the diff with the JoeV. Throttle response is more crispier. Also, the acceleration stumble ard 3-4K RPM at the lower gears oso gone. Not bad. Hope doesn;t affect mileage though. kekekeke
