it the same as having sprockets 15/40 setup, 100km@8000rpm.

i'm using ME1 metzeler tyres, both front n rear cost me S$175.

320 for front & back tires? quite costly man. But if i got money maybe will try.

Dats the standard price for the tyres coz i used them of my Mito b4. Very very very stable....and long lasting. Last me a year plus b4 it starts to wear with race track performance.

Hello everybody,

 

15t/42t sprocket ratio is still the best option for rw.

 

i agreed with the recommendation. The best ratio for RW is 15T and 42T.

I just changed mine : 16T 40T....pick up is very good but no top end. 7rpm at 100km but difficult to get 110km- this afternoon i changed to 15T 40T. BETTER PERFORMANCE as improve the top end . easy to get 100 to 105km 7.5 rpm at 100KM. but still lack of juice compared to 15T 42T.(previous ratio)

I think Max speed of 120 can be achieved using a 14/40 setting since the 15t sproket will be putting an greater load than compared to changing the rear one. But dats just my intuition.

 

Theory wise....i forgot my physics / weights & pulleys oredi :smile:

I'll be switching back to the 14t on my next oil change since i've never tried the 14/40 setup....only the 15/40, 14/42 (stock) and 15/42

 

Another way is to replace the rear tyre with a smaller size one to reduce drag. CKA selling their set of Pirelli Dragons for $320. Recommend those seriously....very very stable.

 

I've always gone to the HQ @ kaki bukit since its only five minutes away by bike. Recommend Roy as he's most honest in his opinions and recommendations. But like all ppl doing business... they'll always recommend u things that u dun need so please only get those that u want. I've fallen to their traps a few times....but not always....haiz

wat u mean by 14/40 setup bro? u mean the carb set or wattt????

need to pay anything or not for the setting???? now u r using wat type of

engine oil?? i think i wanna try ELF lah bro.....u ever try that ????

 

:confused:

Wow....the X5 models for the RW and Daystar seems to have more pickup and power! A FZ RW rider just traded in his 2-3 months old BRAND NEW RW for the X5 when i did my servicing yesterday!!! but dun be mistaken by sales talk.

 

IT IS NOT 150cc only 140 ++ cc.

 

Also, i did see the EGR on the new models...din happen to notice on the new Daystar though. So it may be of a disadvantage to some with the EGR.

but the X5 how far can it goes bro???? i mean wat is the max speed for X5 ???

 

:cheeky:

Eh abang raden.....u wan to earn more quotes issit?? haha.

 

Read the previous postings la...all the info inside there. The gal rider is riding a black RW.

14/40 ot 15/40 is the sproket set up.

 

And as i said....engine oils are up to your preference la bros. Some bros like the girls boobs to be big ....some like medium, some like man boobs instead..hehez The point is i may say the oil is good but u may disagree. As long as the oil is synthetic fully, it should be good for the bike....unless u adding synthetic coconut oil or minyak kelapa sawit.....than thats a problem!

7.5 K OTR or bike value only? If bike value only then really not worth it. Rather upgrade via M'sia means.....

Nope havent tried but friend recommended . U can try it and tell us if it is good. BTw next time during your checks. make sure your air filter has this sort of plastic inner tube. During the last check they realised mine was missing. But i think it was missing for quite a while but no one noticed.
