is all the bros ok with the date??? Pls gif a confirmation asap, so that datok can make the arrangement....

[paradigm]

seems like a lot of pple complaining about the bike having no power...

i still don't get it and cannot come out with a logical mechanically / technically correct answer...

 

either most of the bikes after 5 years need a good cleanup on the carb or throttle bodies...

 

or the guys riding it now expect the bike to have more power... (it has only 15bhp)

 

can check with Niti, Daniyal, aikon, byteblock about the bike being underpowered....

i think most of the guys who used to ride vara overcome that problem by familiarising with the throttle play...

 

Bro, I used to own a 14 yr old car. After 3 yrs using it, I did a full cleanup of the throttle body. Pickup, idling, consumption ALL improved. I'm really keen to do this for my vara, including a cleanup on e carbs.

 

Can u recommend me a good workshop?

 

Thx

Hello brudders...

 

Firstly its a 125cc bike.. try fixing everything on the bike. see if the bike can go faster.. try a bigger engine. maybe confirm can go faster.. sheesh..

 

secondly. I am confirmed for the 17th ..pls hook me up.. call me for da details.. @ 91802590..........

 

Thirdly.. the DIY thingy is fixed on the 17th... hmmmm. no one told me... great.. pls check ya PM... thanks..

 

fourthly.. Brudder daniyal.. anything you say or hook me up with.. iam ok.. you da man.. ride on brudder...

 

 

Woof !! Woof !!

dude, i myself wasn't sure if the DIY thingy was gonna be fixed. i replied yr PM already mate.

 

is all the bros ok with the date??? Pls gif a confirmation asap, so that datok can make the arrangement....

i'm fine with the date..

 

to everyone else who wants DIY spraying, PLEASE email ([email protected]) pics of the things u want to spray (so i know exactly wat i need to prepare). Again, i wish to remind u that the weather plays a very important part. If it rains, i think we all just sit in a circle under my block and play ban-lak or something.

 

Footnote:

1) Mustafa centre sells both RJ Acrylic Epoxy paint and Nippon Pylox. Both are pretty good, so please choose yr colour there.

2) For spraying of exhaust pipes or crashbars etc etc, theres a hardware shop at that junction in Geylang Serai. Its immediately oppsite Joo Chiat Complex, beside the Hotel 81. There, u can buy "BOSNY Hi-Temp Spray Paint". Its a glossy finish, much nicer looking compared to the RJ one. If u want to know wat it looks like, please refer to my exhaust pipe the next time u see me. Or if u know anywhere else that sells this BOSNY, go ahead.

other than that, please sms me cos i may not be able to log in everyday. (i work hard for the money)

please be prepared to get dirty on that day. Toilet facilities are on the third floor, so don't worry about having to ride home all dirty and greasy.

 

BlurDoggy> yr pics please... shall give u priority over all the other bros. So poor thing, nobody tell u got DIY session horrr... ... lol

yes brudder, throttle play is very important. took me quite awhile to get used to the Vara125's throttle response, as i have ridden a scrambler all my life.

 

or, there's always the "radical alternative"... send bike to my scrambler mechanic, get yrself an XR400 diffuser and tune up carb the way scramblers are tuned. I did.

 

(just like that commercial on TV>>> Buy PPLand, I did!)

How's the difference after u did these on your bike? Pls do share....

No, Bro, just throttle body clean. Senior bros pls do correct me if I'm wrong but I think it just cleans accumulated deposits (from petrol etc) in e throttle body, then the fuel injection is much better. I'm using FP60 now. So far quite good leh... But if shop can open the throttle body and do manual cleaning sure bettter....

 

I saw carb cleaning spray at motoworld. Any bros know how to open up e bike n do the carb cleaning DIY? Or should i just send to shop?

throttle body clean = carb washing and tuning???

if it's different, guess i shld give it a try...

[MudMan_79]

How's the difference after u did these on your bike? Pls do share....

 

firstly, after the tune-up (jet, injector, blah blah blah) and with the diffuser installed, there isn't a need to drag the engine anymore. u end up saving petrol and not unnecessarily revving and 'perah-ing'. i don't need to rev up to 7k rpm like how i used to anymore. My bike now moves off comfortably from 3-4k rpm.

 

secondly, i used to have to use either Shell V-power or Caltex Platinum to feel like i'm travellin fast. these days, at GP i dont use V-power anymore. Using the other one, i think its 95, and my bike rides as smooth as silk.its more economical, cos a full tank of 15+ litres doesn't cost more than 30 ringgit anymore (V-power costs more than RM$30 sometimes) Even with that lower octane petrol, i am still able to hit 120 km/h anytime.

 

 

on the downside, the diffuser isn't legal. Touch wood, i have not been stopped by ROV. the last time i WAS stopped by a TP, it was to get a good lecturing about recklessly squeezing thru traffic on the KJE during morning rush hour traffic. The TP asked if i had modified my exhaust, i confidently replied 'no', and he didnt ask anything else... probably cos he doesn't know much about Vara125s. I even took out my last inspection cert, but he didn't bother looking. He just took down my particulars, and advised me to wake up earlier to go to work, instead of rushing thru morning traffic.

 

i was considering that boost bottle thingy that Tai Hin sells, but scrapped the idea cos a few of my friends who tried it, say its really just the placebo effect. (like if a doctor tells u this pill will make u very strong, u will take it... so when a mechanic tell u this boost bottle will make yr bike go fast, u will install it... same line la.. ) so why waste money on a placebo rite?

 

if u not prepared to take the risk with the XR4 diffuser, just go for a good tune up. I seriously doubt that it would cost u more than a 100 bucks. After that, go for the Arrow pipe if your budget allows it. My budget didn't allow it, thats why i went to my scram mechanic for this 'undercover brudder' project. Its been worth it... so far. (touch wood again!)

 

oh yeah, did i forget to mention that it sounds so much better when i rev? Before, it used to sound like many rapidly deflating balloons. But now... it really does feel like i'm riding a class 2A machine.

 

(flashback to that day at a coffeeshop carpark in Jurong West)

Mid-aged uncle: Wahhh... ah-bang.. ini moto brapa c.c. ha? ini nampak sama machiam itu Aflika Twing, tapi ada kicik sikit. Balu bili ha?

 

i spelt it just like how he pronounced it. It translates to "wahh, big brother, how many c.c. is this bike. Looks like an Africa Twin, but slightly smaller. Just bought it?"

 

so yeah, i feel like i'm riding an Aflika Twing these days. And me n my Aflika Twing are going to Krabi.

[MudMan_79]

think u guys mistaken... i was saying maybe we might/can DIY after the defensive riding since some who wanna DIY is going for the defensive course... sorry for any misunderstanding...

 

ohhhhhh... so THAT's what u meant.... see lah, now u make blurdoggy angry..

eh then if do after the course, enough time meh??? how long is the course? halfday, by lunch time finish or wat? scared not enough time u know.. i only have one hairdryer to help speed up the drying process.. wait u all really have to sit down n play ban-lak while waiting for the stuff to dry...

ok la brudder blurdoggy... u will get first priority la k.. i will make yr boxes beautiful again.
