sometimes is not that u wan to cup corner is the corner too sharp... even at slow speed still need to cup... but expect rider to brake until very slow n turn the handle bar rite?

slow speed kup corner is most risky de

[ah_dun]

as long u ride small bike on clement, MSCP or white yellow strip while wet sure u'll skid one. so must ride slowly & very bcareful dun kup corner on white or yellow strip while raining no method wat tyre u used. big bike i dunno got this problem anot la.

old VXR tyre size is front - 120/70-12”, Rear -130/70-12”

 

The new VXR tyre size front 120/70 - 14", Rear - 140/70-13".

 

you can try Michelin Pilot Sport SC and Gold Standard for your front. rear is a headache

I was also surprised to see that they have 14'' too..btw spy, dunlop got size for my vxr ar? 12" both front(120/70) and rear(130/70). i did a search on Dunlop and it state 100/90-12 for front and 120/80-12 for rear. the width is shorter but ht of side wall is higher, will it fit?

[slap]

Good day to all runner-ers

I jsut bought my runner today from asphoon.. collecting it nxt week tho

haf a few question to ask.. for the first 3 servicing.. what are the better mileage ?

is it 500km 1000km and 1500km ? or in another format?

i read thru the tread and i see sth abt topping up the coolant. i used to own a few bikes b4 and i dun remember topping up the coolant unless during a service. does te runner's cooolant runs out very fast? and whats the top speed of tis scooter and what other things muz i look out for in my bikes life span ? thx

[thor06]

helloo...any one care to share wat tyre pressure should d new vxr 06 pumpd?

[Junyi]

i think its 1k, 3k, 5k servicing... speed was told nt over 80km/H during running in time.. then maybe after 3k km slowly increase abit by bit lor..

 

cos this is new to me a auto bike.. so nt sure of the running in method.. cos ma last bike's method is slowly run in lor.. the way u trash ur bike affect ur overall results as in, power and FC..

oh hey thanks for ur input. im not very sure myself. the way i run in one of my bike was to wack it aft the initial 500km for better performance. true it performed better but the fc was crap. but i t din really affect me anyhow cuz it was a spark 135.. im new to tis auto bike too and i need information of difference with those regular clutch bikes:smile:

what tires are you using? the tyre side wall have the recommend rating for your tyre pressure.

 

if you are always travelling with heavy load(box full, underseat full or pillon) try to have a higher pressure on your rear. remember the rating on the tyre sidewall is the rating when the tyre is cold. Rear pressure should be more than the front by 2-3 psi.
