yeah, managed to get info in the black market. its kinda a lose-lose situation, which i felt that buying it back would be better for myself. asked the police help, their balls too heavy to go to work... so LL i gotta buy it back...

[LinW]

yo Sev,

not big prob, but big project, heh heh heh

bike's at xtreme, doing up some stuff tt i've delayed for some time.

[LinW]

Hey bro GRassCuTTeR,

need to ask u ah...tt time u said ur frd had a cbr9 w keihin FCR, did he use the k&n open pod, or did he modify the stock airbox to fit it?

my FCR is installed alr, but the stock airbox doesn't fit, and i've got no open pod airfilter for the damn thing, so my workshop installed it the way they did their racebike - no airfilter, juz plastic sheeting at the side covering the holes between the frame and the fuel tank.

it gives crazy power now, n if i dump an airfilter on it will the performance suffer?

cheers,

WQ

whoa... finally u fitted a FCR eh... swee... my fren's bike is running on a K&N open pod filter. stock airbox ofcos cant fit, but even if it fits, the performance wont be at its peak cos the stock airbox is cannot cope with the FCR's large air intake.

 

about running without an airfilter on the road, i'd definitely will not do it. the dust/dirt etc will go into ur throttle bodies, valve seals and end up as carbon deposits in ur valves. 1st thing to screw up is the throttle bodies (scratches) and then the valve seals get damaged and it cant seal off the carbon deposits; causing it to drop into the intake valves. (of course for race, its closed course where there is not much dust around)

 

it sure gives huge power without the airfilter, but after a few months ur performance will gradually drop due to the dirt buildup. really bro, i strongly advise against running a 4-stroke bike without airfilters on the road.

fixing a K&N open pod filter gives the same power u are getting now, cos its not a pressurized airbox. it sucks in air as how u tune it. no restrictions !

 

btw, try getting a BMC open pod filter (i duno who is BMC dealer) but for K&N u can try eversuccess. i did enquire before and they told me the open pods can be ordered. do get it before u ride on the road...

 

oh ya forgot to add this; find an aftermarket header and then get a 600cc muffler; (smaller silencer diameter). eg those 06 R6 aftermarket mufflers...

good choice will be a akra evo hexagon... paired with the FCR & jetted nicely, u will get a very very impressive sound when u hit 7+k rpm onwards. just alike those sharp/raspy sound of the EFI models with ram air induction.

btw how much u got the FCR for and how much is the workmanship for installation + tuning ?

 

1 more thing u might need to observe is ur clutch, try get stiffer springs.

wah, Linw, you're into hardcore mod liao...

Okies, thanks alot for the advice! will try to ask about the BMC airfilter at motoworld. the k&n airfilter is about 700 usd if i import from usa (comes with all required adaptors)...i thot that was way over my budget. anyway motoworld takes forever to get stuff shipped in anyways, so i think will be avoiding riding as much as i can on sg roads...else later my engine overhaul again...

regarding the exhaust, my full sys is the on the way alr...i simply ordered a system for my model...i'll see what my budget can do with the muffler, as i'm alr using a gpr endcan (hopefully win toto )

oh the FCR makes a scary sucking sound when i open throttle...and the rattling idling sound is funky, haha.

i bought the FCR frm ebay at around 700sgd, but it had stuff (like some springs and screws) missing from it and my mech cannibalised them from my stock carb (external fitment parts, not affecting the performance). heng arh.

labour charges for installation + tuning (which was a real *****) not confirmed yet...coz i sent my bike in for other trickery also.

 

oh my clutch springs haven't change...

they were holding up alright, so only clutch plates changed to ebc ones...

[LinW]

wah, Linw, you're into hardcore mod liao...

 

heeh...ok lah, saw some worth-the-money stuff online then juz burn pockets a bit lo.

the bike was in workshop more for overhaul...10+ yr old bike a lot of probs to settle...after the stator gen chui a few months ago, decided to bring in to properly rejuvenate it. and then i found out that the conrod bearings, water pump, throttle cable, tensioner, timing chain, timing chain guide and clutch plates all chui also...

Seems both of u (Grassburner n linwburner) really rich!!!!..

bike modding is a dangerous addiction.

wow 700USD is freaking expensive for just a racing filter, but i guess its the price u pay to protect the engine besides gaining more hp. really leh better watch out the engine when not running without any filter.

 

wow buy new full system ? simi brand arh...

 

the FCR really changes the bike's character, rattling sound is very unique but do watch out n do not let anybody simply play/twist the throttle when the engine is off.. else u gotta change the plugs cos it wil definitely foul up, n take out the carbs to drain off the excess petrol
