ixil silencer... whats that? is it a muffler/ exhaust head?

 

Umm i believe the turbo component that is looks like a semi sphere is where it sucks in air from outside... its porous (tiny holes that can sip thru), i've seen it in car's .. their are found in racing sucktion kits...i believe they are efficent enough to suck air into the engine.. but i maybe wrong until it is tested..

i'm not sure what is it........but u it can check at http://www.ixil.com

 

 

not advised to install this gadget becoz battery operated. i don't think it can supply enough airflow when running normal to top speed. moreover there isn't a filter but a strainer-like cover the inlet, so the gained airflow is the same as no airfilter installed.

 

 

so is it effect our engine (negative/positive)??????is it true that it can increase to 35%????????

 

 

ur drive ratio (15t/40t+140/60) might be too much for the engine, power not enough.

my drive ratio (14t/42t+140/70), max speed on meter is 120kph@9800rpm on 5th gear, running down TPE tat is a slight inclination of 5~8 degree downslope expressway. mechanically is max-out geared speed for rw.

 

 

so maybe i need to change my spocket to 14t/42t+140/60?????or what???

 

 

from what i've told u before,is there any positive/negative thing that u can comment about my modding.......is it i should do more???????

erm.. i got a roadwin off bt batok cka.

 

a few question of rw. why does it first gear got so much force. have not even release clutch gonna kick 2nd gear already if not super dragggy..

 

when on expressway 5th gear.

is it normal for my rpm to hit 7-8 when im travelling at 80-90 km/hr?

 

seem like my 2nd hand RW got alot of problems, when i push forth the bike, crankling sounds can be heard off the rear brake disk. when i went to cka bt batok, they said it is alright as long when i ride it din give me any sounds.

ya true enough, it wil not give me any sounds when im at gear 2 and above but when im at gear 1 , it gives me sounds.

 

ok when i close trottle , why does pop pop pop sounds heard off the rear exhaust pipe is this normal?

 

im a newbie to bikes cause this is my first one, would appreciate if guys here answer my questions. thanks!!

a few comments for bt batok cka.

i ask them to fix the rack and box for me.

after fixed it up.

you guys know the little piece of plastic thing under the seats ?

 

it cant be put back, cause the body seem to have shrinked after they fix up the rack.

the mechanic ask me not to put any more stuffs under the seats , he said it has shrink duno why, but he fixed up for me and cost me 20 bucks, they disfigure my bike's body!

 

i asked them bout the rear brake sounds, they said it is alright as long it is not giving me any problem on the road.

 

you guys here have any nice place to recommend me to service me RW?

 

and also i got a little scratch off my bike's body. they quote me 300 bucks to repaint the whole bike. but i called the head quater of cka they told me , the bike's body can be bought for around 20++ dollars..

 

hmmm........

 

any one could enlighten me bout this ? thanks..

Heres my recommendations coz im using it and v.happpy.

140/60 rear tire size ... = 15/41T

see my signature for my info..

 

i predict for 140/70 rear tire follow stsohs recommendations.

I have bad bad scratch marks on my fuel tank ... 20 bucks to replace only!?

 

stsoh.. may i know where can i buy

K&N highflow universal airfilter.. just put in no need any other handy work... and how much is it again? 60$ ?

wat's r ur mods??

 

i would only recommend enrich carb tuning n 15t front sprocket if u r using oem tyre.

 

i just took out the gasket.....modding my exhaust n use the k&n(RXZ)....ican't found rc2290 or RC-2310 here...then i just used the rxz k&n....i don't touch my carb yet...it is standard tuning...........

stsoh

15t/42t+140/60 setup is better.

 

other rear tyre size:

15t/43t+130/70

14t/42t+140/70 or 15t/44t+140/70

 

 

which 1 is better setup for our spocket???what is the diff between stsoh & MightyBoo recommendation

it shouldn't be so draggy or hard to shift from 1st to 2nd gear.

maybe u should try different brand of engine oil 20w/50 grade, eg. fuchs, motul.

 

 

stock sprockets 14t/42t n rear tyre size 140/60;

70kph@6000rpm

80kph@7000rpm

90kph@8000rpm

 

 

if u check tat the rear brake r not sticky or pad worn.

it could be the chain hitting onto the swing-arm, maybe u need a new chain-slider.

(chain-slider is the rubber guide under the chain at the front of the swing-arm, near the front sprocket.)

 

 

carb setting too rich, open n close throttle unburnt fuel accumulate at the muffler, popped when it burnt.

try tighten pilot-screw by 1/4 or 1/2 turn. if it doesn't help, try shift the jet-needle's eclip to 3rd slot.

 

 

try cka-hq at kaki bukit.....ask for roy.

 

 

apparently he did over-tighten something or forgot to install a spacer, maybe u should re-do by remove the brackets n find out wat's wrong.

wow, boss ! u using a lot of terms which seem complicated for me. hehs. basically im a laid man, so i duno alot of things...

 

all those term dat u mention seems so complicated..

 

for now i think i understand the 70kph@6000 rpm maybe it means when u hit 70km/hr ur rpm should shows 6 rite? yah, i checked tat when im on the road just now, it is like what you mentioned here.

 

hmm.... rear brake thingy? i duno where are the brakes exactly.. hehs.. more to pad also..

chain i noe what is tat.. swing-arm i dunno ..

 

wow.. pilot -screw...... where is tat?

 

oh okay , i will go hq of cka.. might be better than those branches they had.

 

he try loosening the screw, but it seem cant put the little bit of plastic thing in..

i dunno what is wrong also.

 

the mechanic at cka bt batok speak chinese more, so dunno whether if i say pilot screw, pad all these term to him he will understand me or not. or just act like he did not hear a sounds from me..

 

ok thanks boss for answering my queries!!

erm.. when i asked bout the casing price they told me it is like 20+ bucks only..

i called them up the cka hq..

 

i want to replace it, if it is that cheap. rather than repaint the whole bike for crazy sum of $$..

beyond23,

i forgot to mention 1 more thing.

also 4 any1 using metzeler ME-1 tyres.

maintain 1 psi air pressure higher than recommended.

this might improves FC.

it is better to use digital air pump found at most petrol stations nowadays.

check once a week.

 

set air pressure:

front tyre = 30 psi.

rear tyre = 33 psi.

Roger tat..

 

eh..confuse..rear in psi is 33 or 35 :confused:

 

i ask de mech. b4 for tyre pressure..

 

front/rear

30/35 (psi)

200/250 (another unit)

 

:cheeky: didnt nOe tthere such a language converter

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

i visit those europe website b4 but give up..cant understand e wordin..

now then nOe tat roadwin is popular @ europe too..

 

anybody feels that the m1 tyres are slippery.? like if dry, they skid when ever i brake hard..

 

hey jagger..mi experience tat b4..tink is due to de large tyre of roadwin n good disc brakin system..lf not,would hv buang..cOz i jam brake mani time b4..then rear wheel lock..mostly @ 60km/h..c changin to amber..scare liao..tink my judgement no gOOd..cOz i scare beat red lite mah..

n there once i will nv 4get.. :giddy: i was travellin 70km/h @ middle lane..didnt knew tat de middle allows left turn aso..i was goin straight.. wen cumin 2 de junction..tada!! de car hvant completed his left turn..with juz 2nd arrow b4 de junction..i jam brake immediately..rear wheel lock skidded left rite left..de chain get jam too..reali scare de sh*t out of mi..

 

i muz comments though rOadwin is not a fast bike..but is veri safety n stable bike.. =)

hey Soomp!

 

dun wori..de problem u mention can be counter..cOz i hv it too..

>do u mean wen change from gear 2 to gear 1..heard loud "TUK" sound..?

>sometime cant engage to gear 1..can feel tat it bound back or sumtime it engage to neutral instead..?

 

hmm..tink wen de speed is still high..we cant engage to a lower gear..

which means we muz engage de correct speed @ de correct gear..

(i was frustated initialy..cOz de speed i travel is so slow..which i believe can engage to gear 1)

 

wat i do is >>i engage to gear 1..ONLY WEN IS ABT to stop..

 

i consulted both mech @ JE n BB..

JE mech tell mi de above theory..(my frenz aso say so..he say we muz change gear @ de correct rpm range)

BB mech say it normal cOz he try another rOadwin bike..aso has tiz feature..

 

hmm..ya..rOadwin has got slow pick up speed..sumtimes slower than kups..

tiz is bcoz rOadwin is heavy..wif onli 125cc..it reali suffer haha..

 

the mechanic at cka bt batok speak chinese more, so dunno whether if i say pilot screw, pad all these term to him he will understand me or not. or just act like he did not hear a sounds from me..

 

:cry: i agreed wif u..i service my bike there too.. sumtime i explain to him abt my problem..i mixed wif sum english too..it reali worries mi..dunno if he fully understand my problem anot..haha..as least i not alone.. =D
