actually that prompt one question. when u just start the engine, i.e. engine not in warm up condition yet, does the coolant pump start running already? or does it wait till it senses that the engine has reached optimum temp before the coolant pump starts running?

 

I think you are asking about the water pump. It pumps coolant around. Yes it starts running once the engine starts. But the thermostat is the one that keeps coolant from entering the engine until the engine reaches the operating temperature. The water pump is in the right side of the crank case. There is a line going from radiator into the crank case in the right side. It goes to the water pump inlet.

icic~

thanks for sharing!

by the way, does it mean that prior to the thermostat allowing coolant to enter the engine, it means all that pumping of coolant by water pump is actually useless?

wah..i thot i pump 240 already abit high liao. sekali u r one higher mountain than mi.

 

i usually only get to do the pumping when tyres are warm, so overpump a bit to compensate.

my front 230, rear 300.

Isn't that a wee bit high? You run the risk of losing contact around corners. Not to mention squaring off your tires.

 

In corners it is the rear that does the steering so please reconsider those pressures.

 

Entering the corners it is the front but you need to maintain grip in the corner itself.

Dont worry about him. His rear tyre is the biggest among us (120/80). So wont lose contact with the road 1. Anyway, our CBR also quite heavy so the risk of losing contact is quite slim. Unless u cornering @ top speed.

 

Also, do u know that in less develop country, they pump tyre just by estimation. Pump alrdy kick kick, not enough pump again. No measurement 1. Just like what those bike shops did when they just change ur tyre. If I not wrong the last time I change tyre, I went to shell immediately to re-pump (learn from Kenneth 1). It detected 3XXkpa.

 

Why not we ask our friend 'Kumudug', what pressure he usually pump.

 

I pump 230 front & 280 rear BT39 110/70. I still feel my rear tyre pressure not enough when pillion pai seh. Just follow the recommendation from the tyre itself, Kenneth told me 1.

This is why you can always hear the ducati when standing still with engine on, the clutch plates rattle a litte... but the best sound is from their exhausts of course... just wanna own a ducati for the sound alone

convention centre entrance must pay anot?

behind carrefour there at tower 3/4 also has 2 carpark entrances..

one is foc and stand-alone but the other im not sure, probably this one links up underground with the others.

 

if its alright i park at the tower 3 carpark?

i usually park there so more familiar with that area and no need walk thru the linked carpark hunting for my bike =p

cuz i think suntec there arent any designated lots, might have to split up right?

[collectees]

Kenneth, remember the ??? bike we saw outside Zouk? it's the Yamaha R125. yes, it's different from the Yamaha R15.

I was running similar tyre pressures and I lost my rear in a corner. So I am mildly concerned with such high pressures.
