just my 2 cents worth.

heard from friend that delta clutch can get burnt... got some sorta burnt smell when its "over used"

and i guess multivar comes with rollers and all... shld be increase acceleration....

 

haha anyway got a question of mine... anyone got a fully tuned scooter?

like delta clutch, multivar, torque driver, power cam, bitubo rear suspension, leovince or sort exhaust, malossi front suspension...

 

and how fast can a fully soooped up scooter go? cause i heard 150 ++ max for a gilera

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forum/index....showtopic=81879

 

read 2nd post to learn how an auto transmission work..

 

clutch dun burnt...delta clutch and multivar is a name which Malossi use to name thier adjustable clutch and variator.

 

hitting 150+ for a vxr no need to be heavily mod..being an auto scoot due to the gear ratio there is some how a limited top speed it can go..the difference of a heavily modded runner is how fast it gets to itz top speed and how much more top speed it can produce by using the exsisting gear ratio.

150+ and will wobble like hell??

hmmm cause the tyre small?? or cause the engine at its peak??

or issit cause overall light?

 

i was thinking if one upgrades so much just to experience top speed at 150 plus what's the point of spending so much

tsk... so many aftermarket parts you can buy..... whoa... can easily spend up another 3k just upgrading your runner....

 

haha anybody experience like 160 or 170??? must be really scary on a runner

wobble or not depends on how the riding posture n how the bike's stability is being set up

yall must still remember.its still a scooter.SCOOTER.whatever it is its just suppose to be a fun bike.more like a toy bike than a performance crazy bike.maybe a new pipe,rollers and maybe open pod air filter would suffice...if ur gonna really change everything..then i think save that money and pay a downpayment on a nexus 500.now thats really a souped up version of the vxr.[/b]

tt's exactly wat i mean ...

performace upgrades for any vehicles is never ending...I guess it boils down to each person's own thinking of wat he or she wants..

 

1 may feel proud to ride a powerful small machine another 1 might feel it is more economical to own another better machine using the same amount of $ to make the small machine powerful

 

at the end of the day it is how much passion the owner hav for the machine they own

itz actually "lizard skin" wher riders used to wrap on certain parts on a bicycle for protection...this was actually started by a fellow forumer who used to own a runner wanting to protect his rear shock from unwanted dust n dirt n at the same time look abit special till it becomes a trend till this "lizard skin" become a must hav accessories for runner n even mass produce by some accessories shops

How to install the lizard skins?

Must take out the entire suspension?

[SpeedlimiT]

just wrap it around the rear shocks. you may need 2 of it for each side.

 

btw, by wrapping it also means that water is retain on it after a heavydown pour.

[Reese]

wrap & use cable tie to secure it
