Honda NSR150SP Riders

[mike1024]

oh and another thing - anybody have any idea how common is the practice where they take the speedo cable and attach the end to a power drill to make the odometer reset to some small number?

 

heard from a friend a long time back who worked in a shop that they did that once in a while.

guess i will stick to this. maybe spend money on a new rectifier (if that is the problem).

 

just frustrated cos this is my second bike from the same shop; i got a used phantom, which never gave me any problems at all, so i though this shop was reliable and had high quality maintenence before selling their second hand bikes. so when i got there, looked at the first one, with the smallest mileage, and just bought it without doing research in this forum as to what to look for in a used SP.

 

FT bike 37k on odometer sound relaible? or is it actually 137k???

 

at the shop, there was a new KRR, and actually i went to the shop wanting to buy a KRR, just that the new KRR would have cost almost 2k more than this bike.

 

what's a good workshop that deals with SPs around the bukit merah area? anybody been to ah koon near redhill mrt, who specialises in phantom service?

 

i think i need a mech who really knows how to debug the electrical problems.

 

looking at the engine with the fairing off, kinda scary looking - there are some cables which are not well connected to the alternator (i think); everything seems ok, but just not durably connected. seems like the last mech to work on the bike was quite shoddy. sometimes, i wish i could DIY. anybody know where to find the SP shop manual?

i'm not sure about workshops in the west, but i heard many good stuff about the peeps at racewerkz. you might want to give them a try? it all depends on luck i suppose. sometimes you'll get a good 2nd hand bike, sometimes you wont some problems you wont be able to see when you are choosing bike i suppose, only will appear when you are riding it.

 

yeah since you got the SP instead, i suppose you'll have to live with your decision. it isnt as bad as you think if you are worryin about mileage, why bother that much? even if its NOT reset, the prev owner MAY not have taken care of the bike. if you ask me, i'd take a 50k mileage FT plate SP that i know is well maintained than a 30k FT plate SP that is not. thou its mostly luck, theres some stuff you may notice when you're choosing a 2nd hand bike that gives you hints on if the prev owner takes care of it or not.

 

not sure where to get the workshop manual thou

what hints to know how well maintained a bike is? i know this is a little late now, but better late then never, eh?

 

yeah, i get the thing about the well maintained 50k bike being better than the poorly maintained 30k bike. i know i whack my phantom very hard, but i go for very regular maintanence too.

 

and another thing - noticed to my horror that the cooland reservoir was empty. today took a closer look under the fairing and found the hose connecting the reservoir to the radiator was cut *double shock*. then i realise what the little blue aluminium bottle beside the radiator was about - it was a coolant reservoir.

 

does that make sense? to have the coolant reservoir so close to the radiator? seems like the reservoir is being pre-heated by being so close to the radiator; on the other hand, it is closer to the front of the bike, where the cool air comes into the fairing; so maybe that is better? or should we not be smarter than Honda to firstly reduce the volume of coolant in the reservoir, and bringing it so close to the radiator?

 

anyone else did this before? what are the supposed advantages? i am thinking of getting that silly bottle removed, the hose replaced, and resume using the original honda designed reservoir.

at least it is distinctive. have not seen another SP like this yet.

Hey bro! Thanks thanks, yes motor tiam do one..

 

You can DIY too, its really easy, just use paint remover remove the existing paint, get some good masking tape and tape up the areas you dont want painted, get some good quality paint and paint away... sun dry after... its that easy! =) motor tiam does the same thing... oh ya.. you might want to put a layer of clear lacquer on it for the shine...

 

Szeto will be the person to look for about DIY rim's paint removal...

i had this problem with my sp last time too...bulbs keep blowing...i think you could go check your cable out...i changed a new cable that connects to the bulbs and everything was fine
