front bulb is 12v 30/30w

try using e recommended wattage first

Morning peepz

 

Morning saw an accident along commonwealth ave, car and bike...seems like an SP but not too sure as in a rush to work but bike is white/blue paintwork.

 

For those who's bulb keep on blowing, check yr bulb wattage, etc and also wirings.

guys help... my bike has valve problems... my valve always get stucked and it has problems opening.. my bike has no power at all when i hit rpm 4+.. so now no choice i got to keep whacking till above 5rpm... does the problem lie with my jet setting or like my mechanic say it may be the valve controller?? sianx... wonder jet setting tuning and valve controller will cost how much... anyone can advise or help??

bgoy i checked my bulbs already. typo error. its 12V 30W

 

u guys know snowman bike right. her front big bulbs also burn out so there bulbs are just inserted into the big bulbs but without holder so they are dangling. will this blow the bulbs cause i heard if u knock the bulbs onto things, they will also blow.

so in this case the vibrations of the bike may knock the bulbs onto the big headlamp thus blowing the bulbs. can verify?

 

 

cause i changed a new original honda socket which connects the bulbs to the bike and of course new bulbs. then blow.. sianzz

i'm sure your dangling dosen mean dangling too much right...last time when my headlamp cracked and b4 i changed it i oso fitted bulbs on dangling...it wont suay too much or e vibrations wont cos it to shift out of position 1...dont worry

 

but i think if ur headlamp has cracks, eventually air will enter and cause the bulbs to turn yellowish and eventually they will fuse so just change e whole headlamp la!!

then u can take out ur white bulb and fit in e yellow bulbs

this is not a prob..v common

either upshift or open more throttle

guys...dont mind me askin...but which bike is more harder to maintain,sp or krr??? cos i'm quite new and i wanna get a 2nd hand bike which is not problematic...hope u guys can give me an unbiased answer...

[DM]

you ask for an unbiased answer in the sp thread? lol it's going to be a little difficult to mince our words. i find my bike to be really easy to maintain. never broke down once (unless it's out of fuel). sounds like sh*t (i refer to 2-stroke noise) but runs at a safe and acceptable speed. i didn't choose the krr even though it was more reasonably priced and in better condition because of it's pipe that guarantees rust formation in the shortest time possible unless the owner were to sand and spray high temp paint over it for as many times as he needs to. i can't comment on them performance wise as i bought this vehicle for transport, i don't exactly care if it is able to clear the meter or not

[noBody]

Both also the same loh.. c u lucky or unlucky only....if u r lucky.. u ride a aprillia oso not problem...

maintenance for regular riding both bikes are more or less the same

both SP and KRR have its own problems

SP = clutch housing noise

KRR = pipe rust easily & fuel gauge not too accurate

 

having riden both bikes before...i would say KRR in generally has lower fuel consumption

used to clock 180KM on a full tank for my ex-SP and my current KRR is able to go 280KM easily on a full tank of size similar to that of SP

appearance wise of course SP wins~ in fact i still do like SP...thats explains why im still bumming ard this thread...its just the fuel consumption that killed me interest to continue owning one

otherwise SP is great bike!

 

buying a 2nd hand bike is like playing blackjack...u need the luck to get a bike w/ at least okay condition....once u kena a lousy condition bike...be it KRR or SP...both will be costly to maintain

[nakada1031]

don, i beg to differ... my kips n sp fuel consumption almost e same leh... think its more of wat was done to ur bike n ridin style lor...

 

anyway... both bikes r veri similar... jus find a gd bike, take gd care n it wil take gd care of u oso

Yes cos the engine is still cold..After which it will be less once the engine is warm up..

Like what we mention in irc last night, stock size is 120 for rear..OEM IRC tyres 120 will look smaller than Dunlop 120..The tyre u are using now is gonna affect ur cornering and makes ur bike heavy...

From my views, it's only best if u use back the stock sizing which is 120 for the rear.Dont forget this pt..Factory design and tested the bike on that size, so it's something which they deem fit for the bike,thus fitting on that size..

ok. even more newbie question:

 

when reporting tyre sizes it is usually 120/85(eg) 17 or something like that.

 

i remember reading somewhere before that 120 is tyre width in mm, 85 is the sidewall thickness as percentage of width, 17 is rim size.

 

correct? help me refresh my memory please!
