how much wld the k&n air filter cost for a 250 ?

[Spectrum]

K & N Filter for mine is about $115... Hornet 900

Good filter & cleaning of filter cost $10 every 15000km

 

As for my Tire Pressure

 

Thks all for advise.

Did a check, Pressure was only half the require 250 front & 290 back.

 

Now Bike Steers Great!

 

No need for new tires. And I can catch U know Who in Cornering...

haha.. boss.. glade dat ur bike is performin.. hehe.. never underestimate the tyre pressure.. it will make a great bike like hell.. wif the incorrect pressure... insufficient tyre pressure wil oso spoil the wearin out of ur tyre... must check them at least once pwer week... i kana wif my bangali.. woohoo.. stress.. haha... steel braided hose is gd... hel or goodridge... highly recommended... it safe lives... keke...

Told you liao lor, it's the pressure, i think 2nd week i got my bike i also figuring the handling was koyak went to check bleddy hell pressure was only slightly above 100 kPa

 

but anyway, cornering...? heheh, you come, you come...

100kpa ? was it the front or back ? if it was the front then ur bike must have felt it weighed a ton.. cos once while using my tyre pressure gauge i accidentally let out too much air from my front tyre.. end up i find the front end heavy and difficult to steer as there was alot of opposing force preventin me from bankin my bike.

 

anyway guys.. its good to have one of those pen-like air pressure gauge becos the air pumps at petrol stations r inaccurate.

Yup it was from the front... new bike mah, i thought at first was like that haven't got used to it, but the more i ride the more i thought heck this is worse than my old super4, cannot be 900 so hard to ride, so i went to check with tire gauge... that's why all you folks out there, check your pressure religiously, at least once every 1 1/2 weeks, cos you can lose air without even knowing it sometimes, and if you don't check, it'll creep up on you, affecting your fuel economy, handling, blah blah...

[Wayang]

tyre pressure is so impt becos it effects so many things.. handling, grip, acceleration, top speed, fuel economy. low tyre pressure will oso have negative effects on the tyre itself.. like uneven wearing.

spectrum..

 

wat was the performance difference u felt when u changed to k&n ? any changes to the fuel economy ?

[Spectrum]

K & N Filter

 

Can't Really Feel that much...

The Old Filter was not clog up or something.

But was quite dirty.

Air intake determines the performance of the engine.

So a good clean filter matters. Simple Logic.

K & N is renown as one of the best.

So, away with paper filter.

Cost to cost, it is reusable. so savings there.

 

Engine Oil... Repsol

 

The smoothness was quite noticable.

But of course my the oil it replace was like black.

So was my Oil filter replaced.

 

Tire Pressure

 

As with Chi Yen, Pressure was 150kpa instead of 240 Front/290 Back(35/42psi)

Just have to check pressure every week now.

The auto pressure pump at Caltex is good.

Check it against my personal gauge.

Just set it to say... 240hpa and wait for the beep!

 

As for cornering... was refering to our Lady Hornet.

But Will try to catch u the next ride. Pressure OK Lah!

U know me, always looking for sand & diesel to siam (avoid)

[Wayang]

guys..

 

after my class 2 prac today.. my 250 really feels WEAK.. really gian to upgrade to a 600 when i graduate from class 2 but when i think of the money i need to fork out for it..

 

p.s. it was really fun abusing the cb750 inside the ssdc circuit.. old bike but still got more horses then my bike.. hahaha

[Spectrum]

All the Best for Your Riding Test.

 

The Bukit Batok Uses the Hornet 600 for their class 2 training.

 

U can always pick up a 2nd Hornet 600 for say.. 6K:cheer:
