Be more specific with your qns. I assumed you are talking about less draggie or less stress on your 5th gear when riding. This is wat you can do.

 

1) If you are using stock air filter, try changing it to a washable one as they provide more air intake which help to smoothen your ride. (eg. K&N air filter)

 

2) Change your sprockets for your front (more teeths) and rear (less teeths), this ratio helps to increase your top speed and lower your pickup rate but it help to smoothen your ride as well. Great for long distance travelling.

 

3) Check your front and back tire air pressure, they might be a little bit on the low side which cos your feel on heavy and draggie. This is something which I m often forgotten.

 

4) Check your gears space if there is any possibilities to add a 6th gear, some bike is able to do that. This will sure to help with your stress feeling on the 5th gear.

 

5) Change your displacement. More power output is achieved and thus draggie feeling will be ceased at the same speed you used to feel draggie before.

 

6) Finally, did you change your engine oil as least once every 3000km?

Other than seeking Andy or Dawn for issues on the T-shirt, I would advise you guys to check with Isaac as well as he is after all the mod and leader for our Kruzers team or even Jocelyne as it is more polite to do so.

sure, but currently, i am still looking at wat the response is like. cos, if too little people, the cost will be high, in turn, the tees will be more costly to produce.

 

however, if the repsonse is good, i will let u guys know

Wah Nights, Thanks for the detailed guidance, that would solve my problem. Yeah question was not very specific, what I meant was the feeling on fifth gear is like when you hit about 120km/h and release the throttle the bike slows down feel like it's on auto brake! should it drop speed so fast.? Good thing is I do not have to brake when I reach corners but it does consume more fuel to keep up the speed I think. Ultimately this bike is cool but it gets very hot under the legs when travelling long distance. Anyone knows the perfect speed for cooling and riding? Like a speed where it cools efficiently?

 

Thanks mates

Your description sound just like a engine brake to me which will only occur if gear is lower. Another possibilities would be your clutch plates which might have worn out which is why the griping is not there and thus speed drop fast than normal and yes a worn out clutch plates will of course contribute to more petrol consumption as end of the day, the griping is not there and thus you will be actually stressing the engine to do 130km/h while it is showing only 120km/h on your speedo.

 

Dragstar is basically air cooled & oil cooled thus if you feel that it is too hot for a certain riding condition, I would strongly suggested you to change your engine oil to a better grade and higher density so that the cooling effect is max. achieved. Good engine oil (eg. 20w50) is necessary for old age bike.

i think normally min order is 50pcs... so a little difficult as i dont think there are so many draggies here... cost will be very high..

 

and just a little comment...why cruiser always must have that "flaming" thingy?? haha.. for gals not very suitable leh...

 

btw, any Dragstarians changed their handlebars to straight ones?? can give an estimate of cost?

 

How about disc brake.. mine is FP and front disc brake is uneven since purchase half yr ago.. checked out Gerry Looi and was quoted $280/-. any one bought part from Yahama part agent? how much was it?

 

thanks a lot!!
