ahhh ic.. i will choose option 2 maybe... i guess i know e way but unfamiliar at which exit... thank kyuk! .. ani1 free nx wk...? i'll b on leave.. bored, nowhere to go....

go ahead and set a date, time & activity and wait for response?

must pray for dry weather though. seems like raining during evening time for most days of this week.

hi, will anyone b interested if i import an aftermarket air filter for tis bike? currently i m bringing in some for pulsar....

 

more details can be found at e link below http://sites.google.com/site/satyrwebstore/products/motorcycle-parts/protec-air-filter

 

currently, me n some pulsarian r using it u can feel instant improvement in pickup... best of all its washable/reusable

hm...curious...washable using solvent or just plain water will do?

filter element does not require oiling unlike K&N filter therefore does not require special cleanser for cleaning, washable using normal diluted detegent....

[jellyfish]

cool! cbr makes one go back for more lol (what about r15 tho, did u consider that too? :x)

so when/ where would u be getting ur 08 cbr?

 

r15 ah...the cost a bit high for me. and would it still look as good with a e33 box??

 

i just got the bike today from a shop at ubi.

lol.. fed up until change a new bike huh? but its true lah.. cbr150 makes one go back for more, cos its just so reliable. lar-kopi again soon!

[Norisha R.]

Shaun..

 

Onz!!!

 

Hey arrange for Sunset Grill lah/...

[Norisha R.]

are u sure? wait till worned out meaning? i heard changin of a chain takes approx 8mths-a year.. so, within these days, shld i lube it for a moment ?

 

The purpose of lubricating a chain is the same as lubricating anything. To reduce friction and hence reducing power loss.

 

Reduced friction also means that the amount of wear is reduced. Hence the chain will last longer.

 

However, the key word is reduced wear, not an elimination of chain wear.The chain will still wear out over time. Chain wear is largely depended on the rider's riding style. However, it is safe to change chains every 10,000km.

 

Now there is little debate over should you lube or not. You SHOULD.

But the discussion is largely over what is the best way to lube the chain. Some people use teflon, some people use margarine...

 

Rock on beautiful people!

[areal]

lol margarine, hope that chef washes his hands before handling any food articles, orse customers get more then they bargain for ^^;;

every 10,000 km? oh dear! my chain 8,500 km alr, time to change..anyone else need to change anot?

 

-> thanks Norisha for the info!

 

mm also, anyone care to recommend a good chain? eg. DID X- or O-ring, heavy-duty etc?

[Red_Devils]

r15 ah...the cost a bit high for me. and would it still look as good with a e33 box??

 

I dont think so. Cos the back is smaller compare to cbr. Another thing is that, can u find the right rack?

Ya loh, y dont u organize?

Additional info, sprocket also last longer. I notice for those using O or X rings, the sprocket would wear faster than the chain. But when we change the sprocket, we also will change the chain at the same time. Isnt that waste of $$? How then?

 

Chain replacement every 10k km is abit too early for O-Rings. My X-Rings and the sprocket r still gg strong. Serve me for 20k km alrdy.

[Norisha R.]

Hey where is Zed really? I hope he is alright... I have not seen him post anything is ages.

[Red_Devils]

Just get the original DID O-Rings from Everfit, cheap & good. If u dont mind pay more, get the RK brand. Dont forget to change the sprocket at the same time, if u really decide to change ur chain at only 10k km. Else there will be another labour cost to pay.

 

I wouldnt recommend heavy duty. Its not O-Rings (if i not wrong) and its meant for those scramble gg to mountain, lot of rocks 1 (hope u know what i meant). Our road here so smooth + our bike doesnt hve high tourqe, so dont need super strong chain. 2 cents.

 

If ur chain doesnt create much noise, there is no need to change. If there r noise, go to ur frequent bike shop to adjust. If there is no allowance for adjusting, thats the time to change ur chain.

 

Also, check the sprocket teeth. Clean is using a tisue, just 2 or 3 will do. If its still flat, there is no need to change. If its gg to be like sharp, its the time to change.

 

These r the ways I used to check whether there is any need to change both or any of them. It doesnt really depend on the milage we traveled.

He is alright. Dont worry. If u miss him, just call him.

Hmm, I think the point of using X-Ring is not primarily to make it last longer. The X part of the x-ring traps lubricants and hence ensuring that the chain is "smoother" when running. It is a bonus that it lasts longer.

 

I think it all depends on how you ride. If you want the most performance out of your bike then X-ring is the way to go. But if you use the bike mainly for riding around then safety is top priority and I suppose stick with regular chain and sprocket but change the whole set when it is worn.

The red sentence: thats the reason why X can last longer than O, isnt it?

 

Actually the different betwen O and X rings is just the shape of the rubber between the links. I dont feel much difference between the 2 performance, except X-Rings can keep the lubricants longer than O-Rings. Dont get it wrong, O-Rings also keep the lubricants u sprayed.

 

Forget to mention, its more expensive than O-Rings. Can diff at least 30bucks, I guess.

Lol, I would but I have unfortunately lost all contacts on my phone... don't ask...

 

Thankfully Shaun text me the other day...

wow! thanks for all the details David!

 

..so thats what heavy duty is for..

chain is slightly noisy, ching-ching-ching sometimes..bikeshop said no need to adjust nor change

..but i noticed its really getting rusty hope that it doesnt affect the performance or snap

 

um..norisha, pm-ed =p

Yup agreed! At the end of the day constant checking is best....

 

And using chains with high tensile strength will also help.

 

With regard to the x vs o rings, what i know is based on what I have read so far lah, I can be wrong but what I've read made sense to me so far. Hmm...

 

Rock on!

Y no comment?

 

"y dont u organize the spicy chicken wings outing?"

[ceedric90]

yes yes! food outings!! haha

[Jenga]

hmm why another cbr150? why not other bikes? iirc, repsol i think produce for older cbr models nia. as in, original ah. but newer ones i duno.

 

this is a strange question to ask... once cbr, always cbr.. unless of course got full license and can afford larger bike... I still miss my good old CBR.... (especially when parking my current bike - need more muscle)

i guess its mainly becos there's no other
