might as well upsize ur carb to optimize ur LV.

So much power waiting to be released.

do i need to do open pod if i upsize my carb, or the stock 1 will do?

check n know ur current carb size n see wat kinda carb u shld upgrade to n wat will be a prefer size...too big might overkill.

Spy cant do wheelies n slides so nothing to teach

[1Seth1]

Sure.. Dinner's fine.. Where and what time? Gimmie a call lor.. you got my number right?

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

check ur plug also, since you feel good about the setup, check it to see if u r running lean/rich or just nice. its a good indicator of the combustion inside ur engine

spy622 > whoa.. 2stroke runner's fast!

 

lol imo if carb upsize but airbox never change isnt kinda like pointless since air mix with fuel to go into the engine... more fuel = more air...

more fuel but not enough air would cause the engine not to optimise..

if you wanna run on a lean mixture of air and fuel la

 

 

and just wondering.. i've just read up about CDI and stuff.. does it cause the rev celling to increase? anyone out there has tried the CDI before? its not cheap but heard it can increase the runner's rev celling

 

and also... does iridium plug really make a difference???

read this somewhere as well... that when you're on the upper limit of rev celling, iridium plugs ignite better than normal plugs and thus the engine combustion's better?

 

correct me if i'm wrong yea? thanks!

[lilshah83]

Like that muz see lor what to do... i also dunno wanna change to open port or not...

[Fudakk]

ello 1Seth1 weather look perfect for ride....

it confrim going to be a good ride for all of us coming down...cheer dude:cheer:

[tazzy_jnr]

see you all laterz...

if some one upz for u, it means that he's praising u or supporting u.

just an internet slang

[spy622]

seen a vxr wif a high mount LV stop by the cops along Upper Thomson...wonder if itz any1 of the outing peeps...anyway within a week I have seen 3vxr06 being stop by the cops...ride same ppl.

[1Seth1]

Hey Bros and sis', a very big thank you for your support.. I really appreciate it. Hope that you all had a good time even with all the hiccups XD

Btw.. It's been a pleasure to meet all of you wonderful people in person.

I beg to differ abit...yes itz rather logical dat the size of the airbox matters but it dun mean dat a 1000cc bike have a much bigger airbox n 3500cc car have a too huge airbox...It is into the way of how the airbox is design n how air is introduce to it n then to the carb...

 

cdi might unleash the rev limiter n it works more than dat..sorry Im not dat gd at explaining how the cdi works but do a search in the scooter forum it had been discussed b4 n some other riders had share great amount of info on it...

but by just using the basic logic of cdi unleashing the rev limit, it is also of no use if the engine is not powerful enuff to perform exceeding the current kept limit..Eg: if engine rev up to 9k rpm now n wif the rev unlimited to maybe 12k rpm or more can the engine do beyond 9k rpm??..

 

as for iridium plugs datz easy...juz go to different plug maker's webby n read the diff between n normal. It do works in a very minimum way so does dat minimum increase in performace justify ur $ against a $3 normal plug n a $25 iridium plug?

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...

yo shah!

 

honestly, ive tried the leo vince with open pod and with air box. first i suggest u change the oil jet tu a bigger one, say 118. the stock ones is 110 or 100(i cant remember) and just stay with ur air jet(36).

 

with some tuning, ur bike should be able to response. with open pod, u get fast acceleration but with airbox, u'll get more distance. it all depends on wat u want. pick up or distance. i thk the size of rollers do play a part too..use 10.5 or 11 if u want pick up and 12.5 is recommended for distance. tried with both oredy. i prefer 12.5.

 

just my two cents worth.. somebody correct me if im wrong pls.

[sheep]

pictures leh?

Wow that's alotta information for me to digest..

but isnt changing the airbox to an unristricted air filter increases its air volume being introduced into the carb and stuff cause i know air filters aint THAT big so doesnt necessarily means bigger filters or box and stuff... haha sorry for the mixed up in the previous post

 

But anyway thanks SPY!

are you a mechanic by profession or something?

sponge type? is it like the one for the steering wheel for cars? if for that car shop loh.. if u talking about the lizard skin ones.. bicycle shop. those with expensive mountain bikes ones shd have..

 

sum shop even make custom one.. those along jln besar and ard that area..

 

Hi brother, thanks for your advice. Later i will try find it at Lavender bicycle shop.

[1Seth1]

Hey guys... For all those who took pictures, could you kindly mail them to me @ [email protected] please? And as for the pictures that i took, its available on my friendster profile:

yes an open pod will solve the problem of unrestricted airflow but we will face problems as mention earlier somewher like changes in temp n humidity n stuff thus effect the setting..BECAUSE we are running a carb bike wher everything is sort of preset in 1 mode....thus this technology call EFI is being invented.

 

Im no mechs or anything related to machines by profession if u hear ppl by these profession speaks then u will be truly amazed...

 

Im juz a normal rider who spends abit of time reading abt how thing works so I can hav a slightly better knowledge on how my ride works

 

Everytime u bring ur ride into the bikeshop ur gonna pay some school fees..I had pay mine as well...Thus everytime u visit the teacher/doctor ask for their opinion on wat is gd n wat is not for ur bike...listen out to their explanations and suggestions n c if u gonna buy the words...soon u will know which r the plcs who can install n repair only and which r the plcs who do have the knowledge n can provide u wif wat u want on ur ride
