today i went vect*r one enquire abt the gear indicator & hel brake hose.

they quote me $200++(cant remember) for the gear indicator (havent + installation) and $200 for hel brake hose.

gosh, I feel tat their price is really expensive. I dun know the market price for the gear indicator but hkl quote me $120 for the hel brake hose only.

how much u pay will depends on wat kind of worksmanship u get...i rather pay more to have some reputable workshop do my brakes...like bikelab...

Ok, Spent money time again!! Thinking of changing both my bulbs to Philips Crystal vision. Anyone wants to share with me??? Meaning buying one pair of H4 and H7. Market selling at $75 per pair.. But I should be able to get cheaper.. But not sure how much cheaper though..... Those interested PM me!!

 

Anyway side track, guys wanted or thinking of installing TRE, DO IT!! Indeed makes your bike more powerful on the low gear. And is more suitable for daily riding.

It have been a really long time since i last post...since my post invites flame...go ahead, least this is my opinion.....

 

TRE:

Also roughly included in this class are the gear position "foolers" like Ivan's TRE.

 

They work because machines with gear position sensors generally have different ignition and fueling maps for each gear.

 

Some fool the ECU into thinking the bike is in second gear when it is really in first, some fool the ECU into thinking the bike is in fifth gear when it is really in sixth, and some do both.

 

The biggest problem with these devices is that they don't really get you any closer to ideal ignition timing or fueling than when the bike is all stock.

 

There is usually some form of traction control for first gear, implemented by reducing power. Defeating this makes you wheelie much more easily in first gear (which is fine if that is what you want to do, but it makes for more danger on the street

 

 

street and slower launches when drag racing or starting a road race, and greatly increases wear and tear on drivetrain components, including the clutch, cush drive, wheel bearings, chain and sprockets), and/or removes the "soft" speed limiter in sixth gear which is implemented by progressively retarding the timing.

 

The problem with the sixth gear "fooler" is that bikes like the GSX-R1000 and Hayabusa actually make MORE power up to about 8,000 rpm with the sixth gear map than the fifth gear, due mainly to there being more ram air pressure at sixth-gear speeds (and that means more fuel to take advantage of the extra air). So while you might have a slightly higher top speed with a gear position "fooler", you're going to take somewhat longer to get there.

 

 

 

So there you have it. I'm sure people will still do the mods, but for my money, there's nothing to be gained from either mod, and something to be lost on both of them...

 

 

 

 

i probably delete this post after a while coz .... when facts conflict with with someone's interest...its deem as bollocks.....

Sound interesting. His reasoning sounds like it has more con then pro. The main concern I found in the article is the more power at the lower gear resulting in faster wear and tear and slower to get to top speed. My personal feeling hor, firstly the more power issue. The pickup is indeed more powerful or should I say more responsive. It really allow you to reach the redline more faster than before. But I shouldn't say it is powerful enough to do a wheelie cause it a 600. Maybe that guy refer to a 1000cc?? Then it might happen. As for the wear and tear issue. For normal street riding, I don't see myself whacking at all gear range, so not much concern on the wear and tear. The only wear and tear I'm concern here is the brake pad due to less engine brake. In fact I find that with lesser engine brake, you don't lose much speed when u close throttle thus you don't need to throttle more to pickup again. Next would be slower to get to top speed. This one I really no comment. Personally I can't noticed the time difference to reach the top speed compared to when I do not have the TRE. End of the day, I'm still satisfied with the simple and zero cash involved TRE mod which I did. But hey like you say, to each his own. Maybe I will find something which will makes me wanna remove it in a long run. But then, it won't be now cause I'm still grinning from the excellent pickup gain in the low gears. Hey can you explain what the meaning of "soft" speed limiter?? and lastly any meetup??? Peace out!

Anybody here have tried to import a street-legal exhaust on their own and passed LTA's inspection.Cos i ve checked out Akrapovic street legal end can for Euro is the same specification here in spore.btw,heres LTA requirements.

 

(a) Technical specification and installation details (including pictures/drawings) of the replacement exhaust system;

 

b. Certification from the vehicle manufacturer that the replacement exhaust system is suitable to be fitted to your vehicle and would not adversely affect the safe operation and exhaust emission characteristics of the vehicle; and

c. Evidence or test reports to show that the replacement exhaust system when fitted to the vehicle complied with prevailing exhaust emission standards.

 

pls ask around guys.U and me gonna save plenty of bucks here.....

Akrapovic exhaust is already in the sg market.

I dont think they will let you buy one set only.They will refer you to the dealer here. For GsxR600 the bolt on exhaust is about 1050-1350.Approved exhuast.
