SBF Silverwings Cafe 2008 - JDM/Euro 400/600

[chung]

My mileage is is far less.

My SW will be one year old end of this month but still less den 9,000km todate.

But I would like to experience the shiok factor

 

 

the unit is secured inside the left rear panel next to the battery (not visible or inside the underseat storage). elson was very nice, he didn't drill any holes but use the existing gaps available and i was happy with that... no rattling sound when moving if you also going for kukup trip this sunday, can take a look

 

yup, time will tell and i'll be monitoring both shiok factor and FC closely. so far so good over the ~70km i covered today, felt smoother riding & acceleration... don't think got more torque but felt there's less vibrations when opening throttle to set off or speed up.

 

apart from the shiok factor, i'm hoping to breakeven in 46.5 weeks, assuming can achieve 2km/L inprovement in FC

avg mileage per week = 400km

current avg FC = 23km/L ... approx. 17.39L per week

targeted avg FC = 25km/L ... approx. 16.0L per week

savings per week = 1.39L x $2.086 = $2.89

breakeven no. of weeks = $134 / 2.89 = approx. 46.5 weeks

 

better still if can get 3km/L improvement... breakeven in 32 weeks

 

just hoping

hi there is one or two person using the feelfree tires right?

feelfree??? for one moment i tot it sounded like some product similar to carefree pads http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/hahaha-024.gif

kidding nia

 

jokes aside... metzeler's writeup on the feelfree wintec seems pretty impressive... specially designed for wet conditions

don't know le.

[scoobydoo]

based on the specs, don't think the feelfree tyres can fit SWing (uses front 120/80 14M/C 58S, rear 150/70 13M/C 64S)

feelfree front width ok, also can fit rims, but the profile is lower by 10p, resulting in a smaller tyre. rear tyre cannot fit rims

Just curious, let say if I were to go back to boon siew to change tyres, would they still give me IRC japan tyres ?

 

If I use 2 different brand of tyres for both the front and rear tyres at the same time, does it matter ?

 

Which motorshop carries this feelfree brand of tyres for scooter ?

 

Thanks in advance

ahhh... i looked at the new feelfree wintec, no wonder no size for SW

yup, feelfree (without the wintec) got size

will certainly consider trying... but that will be much later

[Swing 7777]

Tyres pls use the same make n model..coz got different compounds n takes diff time to warm up n some cannot take higher speeds or the weight load.Given the Swing is quite heavy n can do some speeds,for your own saftey,dun save on the tyres..u go back Boon Siew,most prob they will get tyres avail in sg for u.IRC japan is further frm sg than IRC Thailand.all companies cut cost.

[chung]

Hi undead Bro, having changed to this sulphuric acid battery for a week liao, may I know whether the sulphuric acid leak out or not since the battery is lying on its side. Thks for your feedback.

So far so good. Feel around the battery daily and there r no leak yet....

 

This battery cost $50..... Let's hope this will last for 1 year.... it will be much cheaper for all of you as the original battery cost ~$150

To be sure, it is better to check the bottom of the battery. Any leakage will drip down to the bottom. Another way is to mark the exact level of the acid on the battery. If there is leakage, the level of acid will drop below the marked line within a month.

Ya so if i justify PA2 with payback period will take years

 

So far so good?

 

wah!!! only 8km... i travel about 66km everyday to/fro work
