[Guest faziwuzy138]

i was wondering wats the maintenance cost of nsr sp and cbr150 monthly??

and the pros and cons of both bikes?? and also recomend me a workshop which repairs your bike very cheap price....

CBR 150 is lowly powered. NSR got good pickup but often got problem with heavy white smoke emission

[cOngx]

well if u want fuel economical bikes get cbr150. if u want speed , fast get nsr150sp

 

cbr 150 will sure be a cheap to maintain bike.

with proper tuning and right amount of 2t, the bike can be almost no smoke and has power.. and it dosent leads to any piston jam.. that's the beauty of perfect tuning.. but nevertheless.. 2strokes are always smokey.. lol

[Aman47]

cbr no need 2t, sp need 2t. cbr no power, sp got. but in sg, how much power u want? .. cbr FC 40++km/lit, sp 20-26km/lit.. cbr no smoke, sp mostly i c got smoke.. sp outlook very nice, cbr ok2 to me la..

[roseonfire]

sp half d time kick start problem. cbr 150 is electric start.. no need to trouble urself by kicking early in d morning..

[roseonfire]

sp full tank more exp, cbr cheaper.

[Aman47]

sp full tank more exp, cbr cheaper.

 

haha.. nt really wat. i tink both 10litres only ting is tt u need to frequent petrol station more wif sp as compared to cbr

[jeffed]

sp is a great bike to me. thumbs up for sp!

[Guest faziwuzy138]

ok thx guys but cbr150 head looks kindda small and flat, any modification to make it look bigger??

I'm quite amazed by the general replies here to the threadstarter's question

Bros and sis', put it this way as knowledge. I'm going to compare the CBR and NSR based on your replies here.

 

CBR 150 is a 4-stroke bike. Since the engine rotates in 4 stages (hence the term "4-stroke"), it generally gives the bike better torque and is reliable but this design does not give the rider any "pickup" gains. One more advantage: Underneath the engine, 4T oil** constantly lubricates the piston and cools the whole engine by flowing around it. The oil then returns to the bottom of the engine (the bowl that holds the 4T oil is called the sump). The cycle then continues -- essentially, you can say that the lubricating oil is "recycled" this way, lubricating the engine at every cycle of engine rotation.

 

=====

 

NSR is a 2-stroke bike. Yep, a lot of bengs (and maybe 'lians) swear by it in terms of "lacer lacer" look, image, and performance also. It's somewhat true actually.

 

If you had been following me all this while, you might already have figured out that 2-stroke bikes = 2 stages. And yes, this kind of engine rotation setup is simpler, and guess what? This is actually why 2-stroke bikes have pickup. And it's loud too and eats up a lot of petrol because of the high power output

 

To lubricate this kind of engine, 2T oil is used. Unlike the fact that 4T gets "recycled", 2T oil is designed to be used once. It gets mixed with petrol before both gets into the engine itself.

 

Petrol burns during the combustion stage while the 2T oil lubricates the piston. After that, they get blown out the pipe.

 

So the "smoke" and "emissions" you guys were describing, was actually a little bit of the petrol, and a lot of the spent 2T.

 

Oh and unlike recyclable 4T which is always there, 2T needs to be topped up. No engine lubrication = imminent piston seizure (piston jam in SG slang)

 

======

 

If you want, you can invite your friends to lim kopi one day and snicker at him for having such a slow 4-stroke bike. Then he can fight you back saying that your 2-stroke bike emits so much smoke and is loud. But don't say redbeacon korkor say one hor. Wait i kena hentam.

 

** I was being told that "4T" is the name of the type of lubricating/cooling oil that is used for 4-stroke bikes.

[Aman47]

wow

[Guest faziwuzy138]

woah so very well explained. ok thx for all you guys help.

One of you said mods at JB?? A bit scrary go JB on bike go there sia....

alot of theft case there.....

[redbeacon]

Uhh...forgot 1 thing.

 

4-strokers do need to change their 4T engine oil too. Only when it gets dirty or as recommended by the service manual

(some say every 3 months, some say less...)

[Guest faziwuzy138]

Ok. how long is the usaully?? to change 4T oil??

[redbeacon]

Usually, if you consult the user manuals (in your case, the CBR150 user manual), there's a page on the recommended KM (kilometer) intervals on when to change the oil.

 

Otherwise, some say 1 month, some say 2?

Sorry ah, I don't own CBR150 so i dunno.

Bikeshop uncle knows best so maybe you can ask them too?

[Guest faziwuzy138]

okie dokie thanks anyway

[Lass]

one more thing if am not wrong, u can get new cbrs but unlikely for SPs

[Guest faziwuzy138]

oh ya SPs out of production rite if im not mistaken?? That means im ganno get a cbr150 then

every 2000km or the most 2 months if u budget or u seldom ride

[SparkerS1]

oh ya SPs out of production rite if im not mistaken?? That means im ganno get a cbr150 then

 

SP not in production and not imported since 2003 if not mistaken.

 

If u wan SP, get a 2nd hand one.

If u wan CBR150, new and 2nd hand available.

If u wan brand new bike between cbr or sp, cbr is the one.

[Guest faziwuzy138]

Nsr Sp out of production in the WHOLE world or just in Singapore??

[stsoh]

no longer in production means honda factory is not manufacture it.

reason is tat 2-strokers engine was not able to conform to euro2 environmental standards.

currently governing authorities has raise it to euro4 (stricter CO2 emission).

tat is the reason why current bikes manufacturers r only produces 4-strokers.

carburetors will be phasing out soon, whereas FI (fuel injection) can proper manage CO2 emission with Oxy sensor.
