hahakZ.. yepz tot of upgrading cuz my workplace now very far at tuas ride 135 sianz le lyk wen im gonna reach.. hahakZ.. my tp is in Aug.. so now survery survey first la.. i've got a few in mind FJR TDM900 AT or FZ1.. and sometimes can ride up north once in a while very fun.. actually looking for somethin then can cruise at 160 to 180 easily without any probs.. any recommendation..

 

TDM - had a friend who used this bike. A great workhourse with good f/c. But not so suitable for high speed touring of 160kph to 180kph as it is a light-weight sport-tourer. Have to fix after-market storage ($2K??)

 

Fazer 1 - Makes a powerful tourer but small petrol capacity - with only 18L, you'll have to make more fuel-stops for high speed touring. Have to fix after-market storage ($2K?)

 

FJR - F/C 15KM/L x 24L for 120KG passenger weight = 360KM distance at speeds of 150KPH. Comes with side-panniers. Is that good enough? Of course, the faster you go, the more fuel you consume. FJR is also stable as it is a heavier bike. With adjustable windscreen - you'll feel comfortable even at high speeds.

[weizhong]

aww... come on.. nothing to be paiseh abt...

 

haha.. ok next time u will see me park beside ur if i ever see u guys again..

just to add a little for FJR, if travel at 200 to 220km/h constantly from Thailand back to Singapore, i was only clocking 12km per liter.

[bigcow]

Original Size-Front: 120/70-ZR17

Rear: 180/55-ZR17

 

lets say if i change to

Front: 120/60-ZR17

Rear: 190/50-ZR17 is it ok? i need to lower my ride cos i got BIG prob reversing dis bike..dun tink bout the main stand!

 

yes u can. but the geometry of the bike will change. handling will be different also. not advisable.

Just want to say something, since the time i had my engine header block changed that was 2yrs back, had been noticing that my consumption has lowered like tremendously, sometimes it runs up to 420 and yet i'm still on 50km(on reserve)

 

Anyone experiencing anything similar, it used to show 380km with the (80km) coming from the reserve. now it's like up even further.

 

Rite now i think it's a blessing but not sure for how long this is going to continue...hopefully no curse in time to come...

you cut your seat on top or the sides? u must understand where to cut so as not to compromise the comfort for long distance riding.

Hey, why so poor response again? I thought you guys were all looking forward to a meet-up? Now that there's one, so few coming out?

goddammit! connection problems and i missed out on this one..any meet-ups feel free to text me @ 81002572 alright..

[ReBornBikeR]

Today I went over to Hong Leong to get the mechanic to check on my bike due to rattling/ticking noise again.

Found that it is a recurring problem of the chain cam tensioner.

Was told that I might have done some sudden revving of the engine that cause it to give way. This tensioner is very delicate and any sudden revving can damaged it.

So a friendly reminder to fellow FJR riders, go gradual on the throttle when overtaking on the road, try not to rev it too suddently or else $$$ will fly away

[deanz4]

hi all still remember me??
