how come no outing planner recentli?

 

Sunday we go malacca eat chicken rice wan?

 

or maybe we go KL pa ping pong?

 

if there is one, would you guys come?

 

pardon my frankness but when we organise local outings , turnouts quite poor oredy...let alone a trip up north.

 

but if anyone wans to go in M'sia for "dinosaur-remains", lets go together..i live Woodlands.

ride safe dude! dun push too hard on yr virgin laps there and you outta be fine.

 

think for a High-Speed track like Sepang...our bikes might suffer 'fuel starvations' probs as mentioned on http://www.400greybikes.com.

 

do update us if this is the case or not.

 

enjoy!

hey benson you still riding huh? thought you sold off your bikes le......

[Shay]

ok..i didnt use to believe this but iz true...M'sia's Vpower sucks.

 

i've only been pumping in M'sia lately coz of the damn price hikes and i swear the savings are not worth the time, sweat and frustrations. time n sweat for been stuck in unexpected jams and frustrations when yr bike cannot maintain a idle on start-up.

 

Mobil's F1 was quite for my V4 i find... still feel decent smoothness of acceleration although sometimes cold starts is difficult.

 

Vpower just sucks big time. cant maintain idling, power output was crap!! cant get it to pull easily up to highway speeds.

 

maybe its just me or my v4 but iz back to S'pore's 98 for me.

 

anyone of you have similar experiences with foriegn petrol?

[john81]

uncle ah uncle, trust me for this once. I dun believe it when my friend told me. but den I tried it myself. shell95 n shell98 feels no diff on my rvf. n infact, the accel n gear changin is smoother on the 95. mileage is more too.

18-20km/L on 98, 20-22km/L on 95.

Higher mileage, cheaper per L price, smoother ride...

Pump 1 tank urself to believe it.

 

note: I'm referin to local kiosk

total agree.

 

actually Shell Fusion gives u smoother & better riding compare to 98. After 10,000km carb still look clean. Of cos V-power still the best but then again in term of millage n price is not worth it until u r rich.

 

fyi

[acidhurt]

have u guys noticed tat when using vpower, ur engine sounds louder than when using 98? Last time i always use vpower after switching to 98 my engine sound less noisier, milage wise sightly lesser..

[benson]

Guys. Just had my forks done at BikeLab n it was realli great!

Fork is so stable n absorbin that when gg past humps, u will onli feel the impact to its minimum. dunno how to describe by words, u hav to feel it urself. it realli feels like a branded aftmark forks.

 

$145nett for 2 oil seals, 2 dust covers n fresh fuchs silkolene fork oil. Every bit of the forks' assembly from the sleeves to tubes, washers, screws, oil dampers.... r cleaned up.

Make the super bumpy, uneven roads at bendemmier, potong pasir, all the to sergoon----my hse---- feels like they r new roads just made last nite.

Did u juz service ur front forks?How abt the rear shock?Mine suspension givin me a bit of problem too liao...Maybe it's time to pay bikelab a visit?

[benson]

front forks serv. cost 145

rear monoshock is sealed. can't rebuild

even if can, will cost ard 300+ as I overheard a cbr owner asking servicin of his bike's rear shock.....

how about changin to a aftermarket one?

 

Ohlins, Penske and the like may be Expensive but i read Showa has some pretty standard rear shocks too (at least better than RVF's OEM shock)

 

think i will pay bikelab a visit too when i've saved enuff for a plusher ride!
