Neo>> the fuel is abit on the high side for carb model. Best abt 16+km/l (highway constant speed of 110km/h ) ,15km/l(City highway mix) but u need to go easy on the throttle when moving off. If you move off like a rabbit , the consumption is high. My average is abt 330-340 km per 21lit.

To add on to Kenny's comment , apart from balls at home, easy on the wanking hand (right hand) hahahaha

Also give ur air filter a good check.

 

So far how u think of the bike? Would like to hear it from someone who had changed from another beast in another class to this beast in enduro bikes. fuel consumption aside kekekeke

 

Ah nick >>

1. engine oil : 3.6l when changing oil filter, 3.2 w/o

2.25lit, 21lit hit reserve

3.check above

4.200-210km/h

5.140-160km/h

6.errr not in sg , so i dunno

7.1999 - 2001(i think) Japan but 1st few batches comfirm from Japan. Mine is 2002 , and its made in Spain ,same goes to the rest of the batches liao ( so Varadero also can consider as continental bikes not?) hahahha

 

60km/h>> urs not G Baker liao , cos this model cannot take out membrane. Urs is the higher end type = more $$$$ = U rich arrr hahahhaa

 

Prodero>> not bad mah , before u fly off like Evil Kenavil, mut wear american colors suit ok hahhaha

 

The idea for a forum of our own is good, but we don't have much members to substain it. We need at least some healthy numbers , if not it would b a waste to have such a big place but so little members.

 

A rough idea of how the forum would b and need how many members, u guys could check the varadero forum in the UK.

Unless we gathered all frens from all over asia to join in, then its worthwhile. So far , lets just "leech" on SBF till then... kekekke

oklah, i try to get use to it. now change gear every 3k. hahaha... the air filter is K&N. I think I'll be going to svc my bike lah. I think this bike is damn comfy. my missus really rilek ah sitting behind. plus i think the ex owner did a great job on the seat. the seat cover is bagster. but a bit koyak liao. looking forward to meeting u guys, but really dunno anyone. i only get to know this big guy ride vara. i met him at the JLN MANIS shop. 1st time down there.

[Kenny]

dun worry..the first meetup we ever had only involved smicerboy, varas and me. we do not know each other except that we ride varaderos..haha..

 

ur right on the comfy level, neoone! my gf would not want to sit on any other bikes except mabbe those like the goldwings. kekek...

siam soil? I dunno what u guys think, but this bike is FS plate and only got 68k on the trip. whereas my Srad is FW plate and I already done the same mileage. I only been to KL 3x, and 2-3 small trips to Melaka, but my mileage already 68k the same as this Vara. I also blur, dunno where I went? :sweat:

just a change of taste only ah. i'm barred from riding srad. the last time i was fined for "racing"with TP. this tp drive all white car, no siren no logo, no nothing. he was '"cocok" me from the back. i was going at 120km/h. then when i realise he was so damn near and still following everywhere i go, i thot this driver is crazy and looking for trouble. i went up to 150km/h and let go both of my hands and called the driver to chase me. when he did, i rev a bit more, going 240km/h on CTE, AMK. when he was gone, i exit YCK exit. skali in around 10-15sec, he come over, stopped in front of me horizontally. came out and kena F#@$*. I explained everything to him but he managed to clock me at 170km/h. I kena 6mth suspend and $1k fine. I did all this while my missus was pillioning me. hahaha....

Now i dun want to ride fast bike anymore. when u're on a fast machine, u tend to go fast. Now i rather "rilek".

 

Tonight might be coming down, but paiseh leh, dunno anyone.

Neo>> U SI BEI HOU !!!!!!!

Hi bros (esp.. Bochap, 60Km/h & Andy 2003) >>

 

The bracket for the Hella Fog lights is available next week! Only 3 sets.

The projection angle is made for my GIVI engine crush bar, but possible to adjust for other makes (H&B, SW Motech).

Common mounting method for Hella is by welding a cross plate at an angle on the crush bar. Pros, cheap and easy. Cons, hard to reverse the process after spot welding onto you beloved engine bars.

The ones that I have is a good quality brass made industrial bracket. It's clamped to the bars using only bolts and nuts. The brass will flex alittle in order not to damage paintworks on the bars. Can be removed easily when you're sick of the hella lamps . WIN WIN situation.

 

I must emphases I make no $$ from this. So cannot reduce price any further.

Cost is $52 a pair. And you'll have to fix yourself. (I can help out thou.. Can see mine for sample..)

 

Who wants to order? I'm only doing it once then have to move on to other projects.

 

COMING UP PROJECTS for VARA1K: :bounce:

 

METAL BOTTOM BASE PLATE (Like Touratech design, replace our plastic sump guards)

METAL MUSH HEADLIGHT PROTECTOR (Like 5 Stars crush bar design)

VVVV>>bro how much is the hella fog lights?with the brackets?

If can I come earlier liao. It's very hard to get escape from my missus ah. Anyway, who is ordering those Hella lights with brackets? Can fit mine ah? If can I surely want one. The sooner the better.

 

Smicer, my number is 98791922 - Neo. Thks for the hospitality you guys. If you guys need to do the wire mesh thingy, I will glad to assist you. Maybe some parts of my Vara I need to put meshes also. so let's wait and see my finished product.
