Hey RW Riders, i've been reading back some old pages and realise that the rw comunity is growing. Yeay! It used to be only some of us. a year ago. However, what i read on kind of puzzle's me.

 

Rw is a 125 bike. There are 150s. Some of you change here, change that, but the fact is your bike won't any much faster. You don't belive me? Fine, don't ask any people here, ask a mechanical grad. if it's a 125, it's a 125.

 

on straight roads, rw can and will reach 110km. if you go at 110km, and comes a down slope, rw will go 120 - 125km. i did. and it's on stock rw(only changes is the pilot screw.stsoh help me do). But i didn't try it again. even with my earphones on, i can feel the stress of the engine. Why pay $1.5k only to sell ur bike in a few years time?

 

even if you change your carb, tires, piston,block,air filter, pipe, chain and even the erp gadjet, face it; you can never beat a kips,nsr,phantom, or what ever there is else. they are jus faster with bigger piston and different strokes. you can out run a wave,x1 on the highway, but not on the streets. the only reason you did, cause they didn't race with you. this 125cc bikes have the same power as us, only tt, they r lighter. look at rw, try sitting on rw and pushing it backwards at a slight slope. feels like an elephant.

 

so pls dun go wasting ur money on speed. not worth it. u feel pain when u wan sell away ur bike.

 

PS: Nazri, ur bike can't go till 170km/h. Both ur speedo and ur friends rxz speedo is very in accurate.JB mechanic like to temper your speedo magnet sensitivity.(the mech told me them selves when i caught them with unanswred question) you wan to know what's ur real speed, test a tp's camera, or the safe way, ride beside ur friends STOCK car. at most you'll go 140.if really amazing than to 150.(by then your engine is like this--->

I’ve been reading this forum about the RW for about 3 months and ever since I bought my RW-X5. I did all that was suggested here, rode below 5000 rpm for the first 500KM, and left the bike at stock till my first servicing. I’m fairly new to motorbikes so I don’t know much about the mechanical parts; anyways I took stsoh’s advice and removed the inner tube from the exhaust. The sound is much better than before and the bike feels slightly more powerful. Anyways I have a friend to does all kinds of bike modifications, he owns a garage where they restore and customize 350CC and 500CC cruiser bikes. He has offered to customize my RW by replacing some of the engine parts with those of a higher CC Honda bike. Something about taking the bike apart then replacing the part of the engine where the exhaust is connected with a 500CC one, and then expanding some chambers or stuff like that and also customizing the air filter part, and installing dual exhausts below the rear seat etc.etc. He’s done some amazing stuff and his work was featured on local TV. He’s offered to do this free of charge as a prototype since he is planning on working with RWs in the near future. One of the mechanics told me that my RW will become extremely powerful but fuel consumption will take a massive hit, like 1 liter of petrol = 18-20KMPL. Anyways they promised me a RW that has the power and sound to match its looks. So what do you guys suggest, I’d really like your opinions before I let them work on my RW. By the way I live in Nepal.

I've actually tested with different timings on different days of the week.

For eg Monday 1 min warmup, Tuesday 2 mins, and so on). Found out that ideal is

about 5-6 mins. Anything less than 5 mins, when i hit 2nd gear, standby to stall and make alot of peak hour drivers angry.

 

Okay i shall go CKA HQ to see this gentleman that uncle soh has been recommending. Seems like he can do magic hehe. Uncle soh, what's the directions to CKA HQ?

 

Just a general question. Has anybody change brake disc at other shops beside CKA and how much? Cos CKA quoted me $120 for the rear brake disc.

Reasonable or not?

 

Btw has this thread ever had a Roadwin gathering? Just wondering...
