Wah, 230km/h

 

You all guys really know how to whack your Zeds

 

That night I hit around 150km/h cause was pillioning my Zed Guarantor, don have guts to whack above 150km/h

[Ah Fai]

Anyway I am going in GP Esso again tomorrow night (22 March).

Wao

 

That is fast but I don think I can reach the Max speed

[Ah Fai]

Yesterday night while I travelling on AYE/ECP, I can feel my Zed handle bar is shaky & my hand feel the numb because of this. The foot pedal also feel shaky. Is it because I whack the engine too hard (sometimes 1st or 2nd gear reach 5000 to 6000 rpm then change upper gear)

Shakes could be due to many factors, try getting a pair of heavier aftermarket balancers (Motrax33 have them), find a day and start re screwing the mirrors and such.. neva had any problems with the foot pedals (something new...)

This looks better than the bigger version of bellypan. At least I see from the picture it won't hit the Tuas checkpoint hump, I think

 

But how much siah

Yes, I also read from other thread that installing heavier balancer & steering damper may reduce the vibration of the handle bar. Seems like its a good solution to go with but I no money now so will have to bear with it till got some cash in my pocket.

 

One of my friend commented that it may be because of the front tire pressure, will check it out today before long distance riding.

 

But got one time also quite unlucky, riding 80km/h then there is a little hump on the road (which I didn't noticed). My Zed just went on top of the little hump, the front suspension take the impact & a "Ting" sound was heard

 

Later I checked the front suspension but cannot find any crack, hope that I didn't done any damage to the bike siah

how much does steering damper cost approximately..? thinking of installing one after i finish running in..

Anyway, anyone interested in going up malacca this sun..? i'm joining phantom knights for a trip up... it would be a slow and relaxing ride though...

Don know how much the damper cost but I am interested in your malacca outing leh

 

But very far leh, what time go & what time come back?

[Guest yixi_31]

u can check out the phantom knights thread.. we' re leaving gp esso at 0800hrs.. then coming back at night.. it should quite a slow ride... so u probably would not get hollanded like u did last time..

 

anyway, it's not very far lah.. less than 500km to and fro.. join us and have some fun with ur zed on sun..?

Will see how things go loh, no promise

 

Cause I just came back from Kulai makan session with 17 bikers & 1 Subaru

 

But I can only reach 180km/h cause I pillion my Zed Guarantor & can't tahan the wind blast. I am the last

 

Then at 312C watch wheelie & extreme speed.

 

Now very tired, still have to work later, sian loh

after the singapore customs towards msia, the bridge is a nice place to speed up. but once down the bridge, there are about 3-4 bumps which u need to be careful lor.

Seen a couple of our local bikers' bikes going-down that particular area myself..

So jz be xtra careful.. :cheer:

I heard that this amount can buy 4 GN1250 with some change.

You mean GN125? Suzuki?

average fuel consumption I had was 17km/ltrs for local riding

for touring at 120-130kmh, i can get 17.5km/ltrs

for cruising at 160kmh, i can get 14-15km/ltrs

for high speed riding at above 200kmh, is about 10-12km/ltrs

 

acceleration from 0-100 is 2.9secs (extracted from dunno which mag), and is the 12th fastest production bike's acceleration (tested in 2004).

Hey Pauche, that mileage you'd experience on your Zed are too good to be true for me, man!!

I would say a litre/14-15km only, for local-rides, say travelling @ 100-110km/h.

And also my blinking reserves-lite would be when it hits about 200km like that..Should I say that the earlier models consumes less petrol?

Just like the New V-Tech3 with the V-Tech2 'coz the valve opens only @ about 7rpm whereas the V-3 @ 5rpm like that???

Well , most aftermarket pipes are twin cans, remus, akraprovics, yoshis, arrows, but lazers have both twin cans and a four can system... very beautiful.....

 

so far the nices looking cans are yoshi tri overs in carbon fibre....

Yoshi Tri-Oval...Yes, agree, agree, agree....Carbon-fibre sum-more..Foooh..Powerr...!!!!!

Checked with Motoworld b4 but not street-legal & was recommended a Remus & this pipes looking-SUCKS!!

When I had my zed, I had PC3 with custom mapping plus the neodyrium (dunno how to spell) magnets on it. But I heard somebody's Zed can hit 250 before blinking reserve....

So that PC3-thing's not kind of a crappy stuff after all la...Hmmmm...considerable:smile:

Thought that thing is just power booster, that's all..Never thought of getting 1 'coz no point as the stock power itself is commendable!! :thumb:

[duane_cartman]

hi An3pZ, my zed can hit 250km & haven't hit reserve but got a feeling would hit if travel a few km more, not tried once but a few times. my bike still stock.

 

normal riding around 100-110km/h, with occasional hard acceleration.

 

btw where did u get your mainstand?? price??

Wow!!! IMPRESSIVE!!

oKAY...But @ what rpm & gearing were you @ during that cruising-speed of 110km/h?

Me @ about 2nd-last gear & @ 5.5rpm..

Oh btw, I'd got my stand from BT21 @ sgd270 I think.. :thumb:

[z1boy]

You sure yoshis aren't approved???? damn..... was thking abt them....

[duane_cartman]

thanx An3pZ 4 the info would check with BT. sorry but wat bout the price of the single seater cowl.

 

on 6th gear cruising 100-110km/h would be around 4k-5k rpm(if i remember correctly)

 

i also get 2 rev the bike in 1st 4 gears on way 2 work, rev 2 around 9k then change gear, do it 3-4 time a week.
