[usmonkey]

Avoid Sundays,

Its quite a mess.

Hey Yall,

 

Due to the unpredicted bad weather, im not able to join the JB makan event.

Next time ya. Sorry!

 

On average track tires will last 3-5 sessions. Depending on the agression of the rider.

 

On track grip is irrelavant to thread wear, meaning to say the tire compound loses its ahesiveness as session goes by. Heard its due to the heat excerted to it, compound breaks down gradually.

 

Mine is on its 4th session. Maybe still can last 1 more trip.

that yellow gixxer is the new K4 600 si boh, heard that it is rated the best in the 600cc. maybe in 2 weeks time can try on it liao, then ride it back to back together with r6 n cbr600rr. buzz, jealous bah. hahahahahaha.

 

 

jungleboy, dun push urself too hard, from how i see u ride in sg road is u apply too much force to the handle bar, try to go into a corner smoothly by using body weight, not applying too much force on the handle bar, just hold it, turn ur head more and hold in that angle n feel the corner, dun think of the speed, u focus too much on the speed i think.

 

the key is to corner smoothly, then when u can corner every corner smoothly liao then go on to work on the speed n the timing to go into the corner but still must be smooth. corner not smooth = failed corner. The feel is more important rather than the numbers that ur meter shows. anyway, this is how i corner in sg roads lah, dun noe can use in track anot. heh heh heh.

 

i never been to track b4, cos no courage, cos i afraid wait cannot control and start to cross over my limit. i buay tahan buang.

 

 

anyway, how u buang?

 

 

eh, jungleboy, i started to feel that u r the buang king leh.hahahahahahaha no offence hor. take care of urself pal, i had been emphasizing in protective gears recently.

 

 

eh benson, buy a full face minimum leh, dun wear open face liao. $100k open face oso cant save ur chin. take care everyone.

Just changed engine oil to Silkolene Pro 4 10W50. First experience not bad. Seems quite smooth.

 

Had a hard time taking out the oil filter. Bloody mechanic screwed it on too tight last time... and might I add... Same as the one victor went to that caused the problems... what a nice coincidence... By the time I took out the oil filter, it was dented here and there becoz I used quite alot of force to unscrew it.

 

Repair costs :

2 mirrors - $38x2

Metal bracket for mirror - $68

More to come....

 

Those who interested to change their own oil filter, I got the tool, can borrow from me.

 

Btw.... does anyone have a "chao ta" smell coming from the coolant area of your bike? (The right side - more like the whole right area, dunno where exactly) I just noticed some "chao ta" smell when I on the engine.... but when I took out the fairing to check... nothing seems to be melting or burning leh... very weird
