Honda Varadero 1K

[Varas]

Atwin>> i got it from biketech 21, u guys could check with unity too if i am not wrong..

 

Anyway biketech 21 no more stock need to special indent. So = more $$$ ... i suggest u guys get a few orders and do it together ... might be cheaper... I thin know cost > 170 a set

 

installation i do at looi

[Trex]

GS got looks but no power.....KTM got power and looks but parts big problem......VARA looks UGLY, FEARSOME, POWER and parts easy to get.....hope bro VARA can hold it till end of the year..

[riddick]

trex....>> geta vara.... sorry to hear abt yr vara lost.. it feels like a LOST! like someone jus take d life of a fren.. wished it was a dream..

 

chris....>> right on bro..

 

atwin....>> i have a fren who brings in dynojet at much cheaper rate.(tat is wad he says, we'll see.) now im waiting for a call from him. and recommend to do at loois(men tong) so any of u guys wanna buy one? maybe even cheaper.. oso contact me..

 

i jus went for an unexpected ride to gunung ledang wit a mate. still, we oso ended up in kl for a nite. which happened on fri noon till sat noon. its a very unexpected ride. anw, if all goe well, ill do it again on may. top speeed was 210, before pagoh, but i burst my tyre valve so it was 40-50km/hr to pagoh town.. hehe anw, sorry atwin n chris.. i make one more ride ok... hehe

 

anw, im doin my tyres wit hkl this tuesday morning. n head to chan for my suspension upgrade!! any bros wud wanna join in d 'ride'? or have a tyre change? pls do inform me.. thanks!!

[ATwin]

rididck>> tyre valve burst...can still manage to come back s'pore.....izzit air leak most of the time when u travel back. That's mean u need to replace a new tyre since the valve not easy to repair. Is there any preventative measure to take care of it or just wear n tear. Wow 210km/h....haven't try that kind of speed:thumb:

 

Let me know when the stock coming, count me in for the Dyno jet.

What suspension u getting, the front or the rear.

 

Trex>>GS no power ...i think u r refering the 1100 and the 1150 izzit. So far haven't try the GS before, if got chance must compare GS n Vara Bike.

[Varas]

All bros still using tire valves thats rubber type , better change to those metal type.. the rubber type is not durable and wil fall out easily, resulting in a total flat tire.. I kanna before.. The tire valve could be easily removed and replaced... its just a $5 job nia.

 

ATwin>> maybe the 1200 offers more excitment... but 1100 & 1150... nice looking bike. Period

Riddick bro on flames liao .. he's getting the whole set of happy meal..kekee

 

rididick>> dude , u might have to order ur sets of needle liao... need it back. Need to give to new owner if my bike is sold..

 

Trex>> the more I ride my bike now, the more I can't bear to let it go.. but if sell to you at least I know its well taken care of.. I just hate to see my bike being sold to ppl who don't know how to maintain it... sad u know..

[ATwin]

vara>> Tthe rubber valve is intact with the tyre...that mean we need to remove the tyre n take out the rubber valve inorder to replace it. Where can we get it.

I think change tyre then install it.

[chrislayer]

ATwin

 

i just replaced my tyre valve to the L-shaped sticking out metal type at K&T as recommended by trex..mine burst recently too...

 

anyway how frequent do u guys replaced the clutch cable...any kind souls can teach me how to diy?...and what abt brake hose?..if change to those HEL brake hose supposed to be better performance rite?

[Varas]

Atwin>> usually when they replaced ur tires, its a common practise for them to do it. So u can wait till ur next tire change

 

Chris>> changing of cable is easy , tie a string to the end of ur exisiting 1 to the begainning of the new 1. So when u pull it out, the old 1 will pull the new 1 along as well.

Change when all wires inside is going to snap and its only hanging on by a few strands... else its good for years

 

As for steel brake hose, need to change at least 11 pieces, all in all cost >1k, quoted from vector1. Becos of the damn CBS system.

The dyno kit so ex arrr... does it include installation and tunning?

If it does.. then good deal. .. sipey good deal..

actually the seller bought the helmet 2 months ago but not worn at all as he decided against buying a bigger bike due to accident recently.......helmet is like a brand new one of the shelf! helmet's date of manufacture: 16/11/2005

[Varas]

riddick>> so hard sell meh... DIE DIE must get??

But tell u ar, overall fuel consumption will increase as the new found power will tempt u to buka every now and then ... now I am rev-happy addict ... getting 14.8km/l ... damn man ..

[Don Didie]

[riddick]

Varas>> cos my fuelling very lean ar.... very lean.. sigh... most to most sgp rd ride slowly la.. cant open much oso.. somemore tp everywhr.. but at least d pick up n attitude is thr.. but im jus wondering if goin lots of touring, will it consume more?? or stay d same? or lesser....? hmmmm....

 

d airoh looks fierce la... but still nothing beats arai...!! i dunno abt shoei... wanna check out on monday morning bro??

[ATwin]

Sad news.....one more vara sold at a great loss. We miss u keihin.

 

 

ridick>> i will check with unity n let u know the price for the dyno.....

 

Vara>> still very busy with u work...waiting for u to organise for a short ride

[Varas]

Atwin>> got a strong feeling the buyer for Keihin's bike is the same 1 who came over to view mine... hmmm

Was damn bz with my work, weekends burns like no tml... worst than army...

shortie... I really need a shortie...

 

Riddick>> mine set up or rather dynojet configurations are more for top end.. my bike is most happy above 3.7k rpm... so pick up and change gear at that range is most powerful , IMHO..

So if u r talking abt riding at low rpm, 3k... the bike feels somehow no fuel going in ... So I always changes gear at 3.2-3.7k rpm..

But its revs freely when u throttle it.

 

Monday morning? gotta work leh...
