Hi guys...

 

just curious... so where the finalise meetup place?

maybe i could drop by...

would love to see the majestic view of all the Runners coming together.

 

and also hoping to discuss with you guys on any plans with so many number

of Runners around Singapore.... hmm...i leave the details to Friday

 

Catch u guys later!

the runner is a sporty little scoot n Gilera starts off wif a racing heritage...

 

IF Piaggio decides to do something for runners a simple kopi session like wat x9 hav then is gd but being free kopi the turn out might be too huge to be controllable..if not a closed track session for runners only wif safety briefing n some instructions from experience trackies and local instructors might be a hit wif the main idea of promoting safe riding in the correct plcs n also a chance for most to explore the rides n some properly organise activites...of coz if it really do happens I guess most riders wont mind paying a minimum fee to join in...juz my humble suggestion

 

by judging the numbers of this little scoot on the road I guess it shld be 1 of the best selling models on ur sales list currently

hey spy622 what bike are you riding now? Imo you seem like you really know a lot on scooters and stuff!

[marcuslim]

dunno leh. after i change my carb to TM24 den tuning le my fuel ever hit 28km/l... but after tat still alright maintain at 25km/l. not tat bad even thought change to a bigger carb. maybe my original carb spoilt. 160km only reserve on liao.

[lilshah83]

eh people... that day i go Tai Hin... i wanna tune my bike... Jackye say if using the airbox, muz modify the airbox then can tune... then charge me 60... But if i buy the open port, it's 160.. including installation and tuning...

 

So how...?

 

Really muz modify air box meh...? Cannot tune my LV only meh...? Coz now my throttle response damn bad lah...

Hmmn.... can ask you guys here a question regarding the runner?

 

Will the bike (runner) still start and "run" if it's left untouched for like 4 or 5 days?

 

 

Thanks... planning to get one.

So how...?

 

Really muz modify air box meh...? Cannot tune my LV only meh...? Coz now my throttle response damn bad lah...

might as well upsize ur carb to optimize ur LV.

So much power waiting to be released.

[1Seth1]

Aww!!!! What a waste.. Don't worry lah.. I'm sure one of the bros will organise something one a mth ba! If not, i'd prolly arrange another one next mth or something. Confirm before i go army i wanna hold another one man.. Hope to get as much support as this one!

 

[ronnyz]

outings haf been organised in the past, percentage of success was still ok ..

 

sad to say, i can't find any kakis to rekindle the old love fer tis italian beauty scooter anymore.

I'm itching to switch back to the dark side once n for good..

 

love sliding n wheelies afterall .. (although i suck, but i love it la.. lol)

[1Seth1]

Bro.. For all you know got free "Eye Candy" lah.. Haha.. I was thinking of a convoy if got enough ppl man.. Lets own the CTE. Hahaha.. Maybe go orchard or something. Just a suggestion!

yo shah, i dunno much abt the tuning part but i think wat taihin meant by modding the airbox is to compliments the LV pipe tat u had fixed. cos now the air flow from LV pipe is unrestricted. The only restriction now is the original airbox. so if tune without modding the airbox, wun get any result cos the restriction will always be there. but if u wanna save some money without fixin the open pod, then modding the airbox is a good choice cos at least it wun be restricted tat much and the airbox can suck in more air.

 

FYI, i fixed open pod plus LV pipe and the throttle response is good. Another point to note, when they do tuning for ur LV, they will change the jetting to a bigger one so that more fuel will be feed to the carb, so get ready to experience in high fuel consumption.

 

For my case, before fixing LV n open pod, travellin at 90 plus, can reach abt 200 before reserve. now abt 190. Of cos, this is not a standard guideline for fuel efficiency, but jus sharing u my fuel consumption on how much it affected after fixing the open pod plus tuning.

 

Hope i provide some insights to u man.

 

Cheers
