Oh ^^ That makes it clearer now ~ So it improves the roaring sound of the engine ah ? Hmm, I guess thats why one of the bros that installed this abuser, his bike engine sounds milder ~

 

Vara 125 is by right a high rev bike ~ If your bike roars that much ~ have u check your spockets? I know for Spockets combination ~ Al-simmons the guru ~ correct me if I am wrong hus ~ haha

it should be a matter of time before u get used to the roar of vtwin engine...

All vtwin engine from harleys to as small as vara has that similar roar (only that our roar is that of a cub compared to the roar of the lion) unlike inline engines, which is much more smoother....

 

it's either u like it or u hate it...

 

for me i love it.... vtwin bike is more fun to ride

Hideaway > Its the multitec that Im toking about. Syncrotec is the older version. I feel its too round. Anyway, Derrick says that he would bring in Multitec sometime in May and would be the 1st. According to him Shoei would have pricewar. Dunno how true. He did told me the price...... and it sounds . Maybe we could ask Vincent to physco Derrick to bring it lower? hehehehe . PM me if you wana noe the price that Derrick said.

[patricc]

Anyway, guyz sidetrack a bit.

 

Anyone wanna get e new model of Shoei Hornet DS? Im going to get it from Derrick as well.... WAI u go ask Derrick how much he chargin for Hornet DS? I go check see who better hehe

 

Maybe we can organise and get all the Shoei stuff together hehe

 

Eh, for those who know about it, keke my TP date is on the 21st May....hehe

[-Imran-]

Any tips to add light to the bike. Some of u put fog light. I want to use that light for nite time in singapore, so prefer normal light and not fog light.

 

I thinking of making the front signal light to be always ON. Anyway to do it.

Like some S4, the front signal light is always ON.

Like some S4, the front signal light is always ON.

you probably wouldn't want to use fog lights in SGP.. its illegal to even have the covers of the fog lights removed even if you are not using them..

 

alternatively you could use a halogen M5 bulb.. these cost $6 from this shop called seng huat just behind biketech21 which is along short street.. just look for an oldskool scrambler shop and ask the aunty for M5 halogen.. the only downside is that they tend to blow rather quickly.. about 2 months for me.. just bear in mind to not touch the glass of he bulb when installing.. if u do just use alcohol to wipe it..

 

another more expensive but illegal option is to install HID to one side of your headlights.. i use it and it is super great for lampless malaysian roads even in the rain.. the price is $250 from limbat.. i think there are some other models out there but i don't know about reliability.. with just one lamp stock and the other HID u can pass inspection..

 

for your signal to always be on most likely just bring your bike to your mechanic and he should know what to do..

the helmet sound tempting... may i noe the price... thinking of getting a new exhaust.. any recommendation?

[DaNiYaL]

Whats Up DaWgZ!!

 

Hideaway, WAI>>> i dun know whether u want to buy helmets via online from overseas...i tried to do that last year...but after gathering much info...u practically cant...unless u go over there and buy and bring back urself!!! correct me if i am wrong...most websites they will only do shipping within their country...if outside their country, we have to contact the dealer here....and to bring in 1 model of helmet...the dealer have to bring in hundreds for quality testing..dun quote me...this is e info i get last year...

 

toobez>>> Hideaway for treasurer!!...I upz for it!...but...he everytime in camp...how!? Stafff Sargent How!?? hahahah......cannot pass him the money..cannot even take the money from him!!...hahahha...

 

Redwolf>>> woohoo!!..anyway..do you get the reply from me!?

after much research and asking around.. i'd recommend an arrow pipe.. most bang for your buck.. again pls don't expect your bike to go like a super4 but u get the idea.. personally i experienced lighter throttle response and my mileage got better.. and i have yet to get a carb tuning done for it.. arrow really puts a lot of effort into research and testing for each model they produce..

 

your other options are would be..

1. remus from motoworld..

- more ex than arrow..

- to take out and replace the baffle you would need to mod the screw hole as once it is out.. it is out..

 

2. leo vince from http://www.adventureonwheels-sg.com/

- dunno anyone that uses this on a vara125..
