hmm, very subjective to tell if its hard or soft cause different tyres made with different compound.

 

your diablo corsa are agressive tyres. meant for sporty riding. max grip in urban conditions.

 

you might want to look at sport touring tyres. pirelli angel, michelin pilot road 2/3. range is about 400 plus.

Hornet 9 since first model it's fuel Injected. Pretty trusty and strong model. Comparatively with cb400, minus the surplus of fancy cosmetic make over.

[CSV]

unlikely for hornet to get 35km for fc.

 

its high revving motor, not meant to sip fuel. perhaps owner miscalculate or was running extremely lean. risky engine condition.

 

i don't mind meeting up before having to sell off the Impulse.

for all you have done, you wanna off load your Impulse? Why? Eyeing on something else?

LOL, when you guys wanna meet? I'm going to night shift soon.

[CSV]

yeah, for everything i've done.

 

might have to be deployed overseas for long term work assignment. so MIGHT have to let go.

 

so end up spend 1 year to restore, ride the restored bike less than 1 year....sad.

Definitely sad seeing it go. But not practical to keep it as well, parked all times not using it.

[CSV]

so hopefully, i dont get assigned overseas. so i can use it. its really a good bike, barring the fact that it's 15 years old and shows its age in certain areas.

 

i took it up to 160km/h before, which is very impressive considering its age.

[frostscythe]

@mild_slevin ya im selling it off if anybody wants if not ill just keep it cause its all done up alr,

@yinghai the gasket is a thick kinda paper.

Guys any idea how to authenticate carbon fiber parts?

[yinghai]

You can see the twills and weave in the resin itself..

[Paul.S]

frostscythe - looking at the hornet makes me kind of itchy to get. however i just renew my honda steed coe leh. any ideas what i can do so i dun get burnt in my pocket or best no money wasted at all if i change!

How about touch? It should be smooth?

I knew there's decal types of cf around would like to know the differences.

[CSV]

the cf stickers are very obvious. they still feel like paper.

 

real carbon fibre should be abit like fibreglass texture. kinda plasticky.

 

what part are you looking at?

Ok, I'm just thinking if I could do something to shed off some weight on my ride... CF parts is something which I can think of, but again its a very costly investment...

[yinghai]

Dont waste money on cf parts... do a look up on lifepo battery.. they save you a few kilo instead of a few grams on cf parts.. these batteries can last two times longer and stronger than standard batteries.. im using ballistic evo battery..

[CSV]

do they reall work, the lipo battery?

 

seems gimmicky to me but i have not done research before.

 

a good way to save weight is to LOSE WEIGHT AS RIDER! helps alot. LOL. compare a 100kg rider with a 50kg rider, i bet acceleration of that 50kg will win hands down.

[yinghai]

All lifepo batteries have a longer life span and they do have stronger cranking amps compared to lead acid batteries... theres a video on youtube using a very small lifepo batteries to start a car over and over again without a problem..

[piggyfeng]

How about clutch? I wonder would it be clutch slip?

 

I guess it just my injector be dirty, have not been able to open the throttle for quite some time.

 

After 3 full tank of v-power, it feel so much better now. =)

[yinghai]

Wonder if caltex petrol would make a difference.. they claim to clean the engine..

[piggyfeng]

Maybe should try catax pretrol, afterall it 10 years old now
