Yes would take note, I intend to ride SP for 2-3 years, for now there isn't any 2A bikes that attract me. I intend to get a R6 in the future, probably when I'm about to finish my NS which is after my poly or maybe during my poly years.

The thing abt getting an sp from my own experience - direct from owner probably best, even more so if he a malay guy (my theory). They really sayang their bikes rest assured. When I bought mine it was new paintwork & just overhauled with new piston, block, bearings etc. So all good... test ride also shiok. But dont forget, sp being >10 yrs old, the parts which did not give him problems before might start to breakdown & give you problems 1 by 1 later. So its a heng suey thing. Since my sp is going to be with me the next 3 yrs at least, i dun mind spending. Eventually will effectively get a "new" bike.

 

I went to Mr Tai Seng Kooi in Jb for full service. But I was surprised that he found a tiny chip in the piston near the lower ring area. He said must change. Must meh?? Almost cant notice it actually. And that piston abt a yr old only! That so small thing can cause problems meh?? Anyway total damage was rm 478. New piston, rings, pins, bearings, gaskets, plug, fully synthetic eo, clean carb & realignment of rc valve. Price quite goodlah... still less then sgd200 & get new piston somemore. In sg, piston alone is abt $180.

 

For piston change, is there a break in period also? How long or how many km??

 

@sporeknight - at axa, they wont even entertain you if you going to own sp unless you hv at least 1 yr riding experience. All other bikes can, but not sp. So I went straight to ntuc, no problem. Insurance go by age & no. of yrs road experience. Since i hv many yrs drvg exp so they give me cheap cheap - $366. I uncle lah! haha

Sorry bro, dont agree with you.

 

Not all like that. I met few seller last time, they modified heavily and some for me is not worth buying the bike despite race of owners.

u haven go army yet right ?? by then the bike would be of different price range,

the onli thing that would have gone down wil be your insurance as you age.

 

i suggest keeping the money aside till you are out of army .

Bike tat is heavily modified pls b careful. certain things may NT pass inspectn n LTA on the road alwys look out for such things. Worse if they modified some electrical wiring, the bike may risk of short-circut n catch fire. I Nev modified my bike, at most paste stickers at fairing Nia.

This so-called additional 10% discount is one-off only given in the form of riding defensive lesson last year. You must take and pass this defensive riding lesson at bbdc (3hr), both classrm lesson and practical lesson. If u pass, then you will receive a e-cert and use this for 10% discount on yr next premium. Mayb bro jbdoggy's insur is comprehensive 366$. Mine also 3rd party :arnd $140+ (max discount inclusive of 20% ncd). I guess I older la. 😎

Really ah got 10% discount?? I attended the half day defensive riding course last mth at cdc just for fun & rcved my cert (hardcopy). My insurance is 3rd party fire & theft, not comprehensive. A few of my batchmates arnd same age bracket as me also less then 400. All the 20 somethings i got to know while learning around 800-900+, but for those who want sportbikes 1000+

 

So that means you, me & wait4me are the unkers herelah! hahahaha:D

Chk out some bike forums in the internet c who selling SP, at the very least chk the prices. Internet online purchase more cheaper as shop wana earn commission as well as interest loan. Las resort then shops.

The thing is i can't really afford paying lump sum. As my insurance is expensive, i would rather pay by installment which is by shops. Any to recommend?

Hi all, Wanna ask something, been riding my SP for almost half a year since buying from a buyer who had it for a year, spent a lump sum on repairing since previous owner didn't take care of the bike before I took over from him. Is there a need to do anything to the internals of the bike like the engine and gearbox? Feels fine to me when riding although I don't really know how a good condition sp should feel like in the first place. Cause wanna save the money on changing the harness and brake rotors instead.

Regarding the subject of exhaust sounding empty: I went to lorong bapok/ah gua lane to decarbonise my exhaust. Now after all the carbon & 2t residue heated up & blown out, my exhaust feels very light & empty. Sound is a bit louder & more metallic esp at the 4.5k-5.5k rev range where previously i said sounded like machine gun. So could it be that its a normal thing for a cleaned out exhaust??

 

Anyway the cost to decarbonise belly is rm48 & endcan is rm 28. Done at X Performance Motors. They also sell Motul Transoil Expert Rm58. 15 teeth front & 39 teeth rear sprockets & chain set i saw was rm115. http://www.xperformancemotor.com.my
