Will run without rejetting but your fuel cons may be up and may well run a weak mixture, a lot of popping on the over run. You cetainly won't get the full benefit without rejetting. If you change to these I would recommend changing your air filter to a more free flowing one like K & N, otherwise you are removing the restriction on the outlet but still strangling the inlet side. Dyno run to set up is the best way to get things right.

Please heed this caution for your driving safety.

 

 

 

 

North-south highway - the new 3rd lanes

 

Just got this from my friend who builds highways.

 

This is true! I have another friend who works as pavement contractor and he shared the same thought!

 

All you frequent users of the North-South Expressway

Be more cautious when driving on the third lane.

 

 

 

 

North-south highway 3rd lanes

 

I am a frequent user of our North-South Expressway and I have this IMPORTANT experience to highlight and share:-

 

I am a building contractor based in Penang with over twenty years of experience and I have been driving my 5 series BMW (latest generation and a dammed solid road-holding car) each time I travelled to KL. Lately, the new extended 3 lanes highway had been opened up for use and since then, I have also been using it quite often.

 

HOWEVER, when I used it each time it is WET, I can really 'feel' that the new road surface is extremely SLIPPERY! To share with some of you, my car comes with a built-in traction control mechanism ( skidding prevention mechanism ) and you can feel it each time it is activated. Previously, I don't come across this kind of slippery feel except when I drive over a paddle of water at certain speed.

 

From my observation as a building contractor, the 'wearing course' of the new road surface could be TOO FINE OR TOO SMOOTH and TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for highway use!

 

The wearing course ( top premix layer ) mix design for highways should be of minimum 20mm coarse aggregate mix that will give us the required bond between the surface and our tyres. Fine wearing course ( 14mm coarse aggregate size and below ) is only suitable for normal road. ( A proper test need to be carried out to determine the mix design of the wearing course). Technically, this comment on the size of the coarse aggregate (or "stone" in lay language) for the wearing course (top most layer of the road) is correct in that it should not be too fine for better grip between the tyre and the road surface .

 

Since the opening of the three lanes highway, I had seen cars skidding in front me or in the opposite direction and approximately 2 weeks ago, one of my friends who is also a frequent user of our NSE, came to share with me about his slippery feeling as well as the many skidded cars he had seen lately.

 

I am highlighting this to TV3 and The Star with the hope that a thorough investigation could be carried out immediately to find out how or what causes the bus to skid. A proper and independent test need to be carried out urgently to determine the design mix of the wearing course. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES.

 

 

IF YOU ARE USING THE NEW LANES AND IF IT IS WET, MAKE SURE YOU DRIVE SLOWLY!!!!

[freerangestormer]

Selamat Hari Raya and hope you all enjoyed the break, where did it go?

 

Finally got the Vara back from China last week, filthy even after 3 washes!

 

Anyone not on facebook that might be interested can see a selection of my photos at Merdragon Trip

 

Vara performed flawlessly on the highway and on some very potholed road sections, surprised our GS riding Bro's, comfortable thanks to Eugene Saddlery seat mod and recover. Fuel cons good considering the lousy fuel. All in all a great trip if a bit constrained by the China TP restrictions. Traffic was crazy at times but at least they nearly always signalled

 

Have to catch up with you guys soon.

normal tuning will do need not have to do dyno at all unless there is a PC3 on the ride. wanted to get Norman owner from Race werk to do it. was turn down as there wont be any diff till PC3 come along.
