Varadero 125

[Bay]

Bought a couple of toys from the MO forum, an easystand to make maintenance a little easier since I don't have a center stand, and a mounting kit for an iphone for the handlebars - to use as GPS. Since both sellers were around Woodlands AND NOBODY SEEMS TO ORGANIZE TOP-UPS ANYMORE, I went to top-up on my own over the causeway. Managed 375km out of the previous tank - before reserve, and was at 392km when I refueled - not bad.

 

Also managed to break my Varadero speed record - on the BKE, there are some good long downhill stretches that were pretty empty late last night.

 

Haven't managed to get my chain / sprockets changed, rear sprocket looks somewhat worn, but I should be going to bikewerkz soon.

 

I was riding with a friend on Saturday - on an old SP 150, it reminded me how bad the braking performance is on my Vara - I'm not sure this is my bike or just Vara 125's in general, but I always thought that the braking distance was a lot longer than the YBR 125s at the school. Thinking of maybe replacing front brake disk / pads / fluid etc, but I'm not sure it will improve things - and then again, only 6 months until I can sign up for 2A.

 

Bro, you can try changing the brakepads to EBC and the brakelines to steel braided ones. It will definitely help in your braking. If you still want better braking after that...... get BREMBOs and racing brakediscs! hahaha. But i think that would be an overkill already.
