I topped up around 1/2 tank so from estimation, I'm doing approximately 350km with high rev before changing gears. All the time below 90kmph, 80% on highway.

 

Understand someone has done slightly over 400km.

 

 

Tank size is 11 litres.

On dash, it shows 36, 37km/L most of the time. When cruising on highway, I have seen 60+km/L. I have no idea why.

Managed to quell my curiosity when I went to geylang serai tonight.

Sat on bike to feel if it fits me. Must say it's not a bad looking bike. Will attract plenty of attention due to styling and looks garang.

 

Only issue I had was my knee might get sore if I ride long time cos of the foot pegs. I am six footer.

 

I know what you mean. I'm getting a little uncomfortable resting my foot on gear/brake paddle.

 

Going to check if can increase the height a little more by turning the rear suspension.

I get the same problem with most 2B bikes except Honda Wave,Vespa and Daystar. You'd be surprise how comfortable a kup zhai is for a tall fella cos the seat is pretty flat.

[m0bIlEnErD]

Neoprene is softer, easier to slip on.

 

The rubber sock is much harder to get on. But will last longer IMHO cos it's thicker.

[edwinling]

Maybe will try again when bike is jacked for service.

[m0bIlEnErD]

If I am not wrong, the neoprene sock has a zip. Should be pretty easy.

Unless your gear lever is too big or the angle is different.

[danielb]

where do all the p-platers mount your fron p-plates huh?? got nice photo for ideas?

[tealbutt]

Did you see Hidayat's at the launch? Front one is sticker on front fender, behind one is mounted below license place, but close to half of it is covered.

[edwinling]

Got to remount the front number plate. Industrial double sided tape is not working well.

[edwinling]

Radiator mesh by GS is on the way. Stay tuned.

Used. The fork decal surface is not allow good adhesion and coupled with elements.

[danielb]

Well that's a problem huh.... Tot there's nothing 3M mounting tape can't stick to.. The red type? Maybe need to clean with alcohol wipes or what

[edwinling]

Can stick but not that good. Going to make a holder for the plate.
