Dude, some frank inferences:

 

1. FQ means u have about 2.5yrs at best to play with ur SP

2. It's highly likely the odometer has made two trips. Some of the FT plate SP already at 180,000km liao. So u'd probably be looking at something like 230,000km.

3. you will not know the exact number of owners until u see the log card.

4. I know of FT plate SP selling at 2.2k machine price.

5. The new things u have got probably won't have cost more than RM$200, less the spray, which must be separately determined.

 

to ur new ride.

Sam totally same sentiments n y u treat my place like storeroom ah!

Ok la i dont mind so no need paiseh.

 

Anyway bluelabel, not i want to spoil ur mood but well:

1) Although pple may say that its not e plate that matters but e condition of e bike, ultimately, ur resale value still depends very much on ur plate. The 30000+ most probably very certainly mean that it had already done one round on e odometer. I very very strongly dont believe he only used e bike for 30000+km unless its a pure track bike.

2) The things that he gave u r purely cosmetics which can easily b gotten at very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very cheap prices. You will find that u will not b able to sell this bike at all in e future unless u find some idiots to chop too. B prepared to lose e main bulk of ur buy price no matter whether u manage to sell or scrap it.

 

What i can offer to u is good luck n learn from ur lessons. You have been a super huge veg head. Sorry to be so frank but e truth does hurts.

At least u only paid a deposit. Try to get back e deposit n open ur eyes wider next time. At e very least find a friend who knows something to give u advice. Good luck once again.

haha bo pian

who ask u live so near my cai. hehe...

maybe tmr i go take from u... will call/sms u before i go

 

Anyway is it true the what earlier models of SP up to FQ has no powercut? or is there such a thing? I know my wave got powercut!! sianz...

[bgoy]

fq for 2.2k wow

tink e shop probably made a 1k profit

anyway buy liao LL

[kwyjibo]

Whats with e airbox thing? Just keep e stock airbox there.

Its not as though u have such a big carb.

To use e K&N cone filter, ur carb would defintely need to b alot alot alot bigger than e stock 28mm to acheive e optimal air-fuel mixture. 38mm is a good figure to look at.

Changing to e cone filter is e last thing one will consider. You will only need e xtra air intake after u done all e porting/big bore/bigger carbs.

The K&N to replace e sponge is ur airbox is kinda redundant too.

 

If you want faster pickup in Singapore, just play with ur clutch more. Get ur techniques right first.

Faster top end, i will just ask u to go home. Do e extra 10kmh at 2nd link for that 1min really matters? Are u sure u r able to feel e difference? Yes more violent vibrations i agree.

[bluelabel]

i brought down a friend of mine riding sp , he did a thru seach , and gave me de go ahead ,cos most of de shop we went to sp , all higher price some were plain ridiculus , but nvm la buy liao , just suck thumb and enjoy e ride . and also de spray original (maybe de pass owner respray back to original when he accident) but nvm i got new spray anyway .

and yes i saw de log card , 1 owner only .

 

but my 1st bike i bike , so abit excited ...

 

my past bike , i was my friend 2nd rider , so get to ride sometimes only...

 

but anyway price wise i might say after knowing , quite f up also , but .... aiya nvm lol , hope de 2nd bike i buy i wont kena carrot again

 

 

kakakkaa but nvm nvm

geko, u might as well say, want to have faster speed go get a busa and not sp

 

then those riding busa want faster speed should go for a B-747

i brought down a 3 of my friends all riding sp , they did a thru seach , and they gave me de go ahead , and also de spray original (maybe de pass owner respray back to original when he accident) but nvm i got new spray anyway .

and yes i saw de log card , 1 owner only .

 

but my 1st bike i bike , so abit excited ...

 

my past bike , i was my friend 2nd rider , so get to ride sometime...

I feel that what they search was just purely cosmetic.

They r alot of things u cant tell just by purely looking n test riding.

Are they able to tell if e piston rings r worn? The engine compression is gone? The electrical wirings r flared n screwed? The rear shock is dead? This r all some of e commons faults on a old bike.

Yes i know its only very natural u r excited but u kinda made a rather rash buy. However guess its ok if u plan to ride this bike for e yrs to come cos e depreciation rate is going to b really shocking.

 

Last n my most humble n impt piece of advice to u:

No matter what others say of u or ur bike, e most impt thing is u urself is happy.

[bluelabel]

yes yes .. seriously ar i am still quite happy sia , i think im crazy

[flykite]

after a while when the bike starts giving u problem, i think u will go crazy

[kwyjibo]

Hahas Sam enough la, u r being such a spoiler. Go n sleep! Thought u said u r working morning later. Byebye n good night to u.

 

Anyway bluelabel do come for e BBQ k? More info go to e SP outing thread.

[flykite]

yeah...

[bluelabel]

Haha , tanks gekoku

[Nu]

hmm, suprise! how is everyone! haha...

 

 

damn, got abit pissed off just now, p plate kenna stolen, AGAIN! wah tmd. any tactics of installing p plates to reduce the chances of getting it stolen? me saw riders shuffing it below their number plates only to expose a fraction of it. does it help reduce the chances???

[bluelabel]

haha tanks gekoku , anyway whens e bq ?

[Nu]

gekenkou, u r the one riding the cbr400 rites?

[Nu]

hey bro.. the airbox was designed with a purpose in mind.. the airbox of every model of bike is different if u notice..   why do engineers waste time on designing special shape for airbox when nobody can even see them?   Quoted by Vpower:   Airbox is there to guide & channel filtered air into the throttle bodies. If you notice, most sportbikes capable of going at fast speed have airbox under fuel tank and air intakes at the front. Other than that, air box can be at the side or open without a box construct.   Sometimes we wonder why there isn't a universal airbox design for every bike. We have air vent/tube to channel the incoming air into the air box. Straight, slightly bend at certain angle, single or dual air intakes create diff air pressure at diff speed and all must be taken into considerations together with the bike aero-dynamic design and air-coefficient drag ratio.   The diff types and designs of air intakes create diff air pressure when the bike moves. Often than not, designers have come a long way to build the most efficient airbox, alongside with the change in bike exterior.   [/b] yes i dont disagree with this. but truthfully i feel sp is very 'half fuk'. its not a true performance bike at stock. the designers didnt put in much effort in this bike IMHO. no offence to anyone, i like the sp, but it isnt built very well and i think its not a true sportsbike. look at the internals of the sp, tell me how it channels the air please.   of course, if you're talking about the nsr250, which you put as your very big siggy, thats a different case altogether. but dont they even have a 'hrc style' airbox mod for it? dont they have many ways to improve its performance too? the nsr250 has so much to be done compared to the rs250 (since they are the only 2 you see on the road nowadays). but guess what! the nsr250 is STILL my dream bike, too bad i dont have sufficient funds to buy one and do it up swee swee :   but as i said, its my opinion. i'd tried different kinds of tuning, i tried a few different setups but of course its based on what i want, and if i want to use a stock setup, MAYBE i'll go with the air filter. but as i said in my earlier post, theres not much performance difference in just changing the stock airfilter(sponge) to the k&n filter (fibre encased in metal?). i feel theres more performance if i take out the stock air filter in the airbox and leave the airbox empty. im not really saying to take the airbox out, but seriously its about what each wants yes? all these are all my own experiences.. so as i said its up to the reader to believe me or not. what im trying to do is, well, improve my sp's performance without TOO much strain on the fuel consumption. but sadly, my sp is not complete yet, i'll leave it to the next owner to continue doing (actually i know what needs to be done) :   this is a discussion! i hope someone doesnt get 'hot' over it eh? if weather too hot come to siglap area, i'll treat you to some POWERFUL ICE MILO ^^

ravenSP:

 

yup u are rite.. SP in fact is not exactly the best well-built sports bike.. but in order to put in the CONE filter like u said earlier, u HAF to remove the airbox..

 

otherwise.. u can either poke holes in the airbox.. which destroys the intended aero flow in the airbox...

 

or let it empty without any filter in it which in turns feeds ur carb and engine sand..

 

like gekokujyou said.. no pt removing airbox or doing intake modifications if ur carb is standard size.. it wont make much of a diff..

 

its like u can eat 1bowl of rice 1 meal.. even if i cook 10 pots of it, u wont eat much more than 1 bowl.

 

the reason i m changing to K&N in the airbox is to replace the original filter which is sponge type and will deteriorate with time and break down.. it becomes broken and the broken sponge bits goes into the engine..

Just to add it cost around $15 each for the filter..
