CBR150R Riders, Join us now!

Heyo cbr150r riders,

 

i have a question then im curious about.

I just pass my tp yesterday & im thinking of getting a cbr150r,

but was wondering if the headlights can be changed with cbr125 ones?

 

& how much it roughly cost? thankss!:cheeky:

 

What you mean is changing the overall fairing to CBR125 which I believe will not fit one on one. Else we would have seen more CBR150 look like CBR125 already. Please anyone, feel free to correct me if I got my facts wrong...

frm yr choice of bikes, u prefer auto gear?

must be prepared to pay abit more for fuel and maintenance for auto transmission bikes.

 

The reason for my choice in scooters:

 

1) Its just that a gal would look better on a vespa rather than on a sports bike.(Disclaimer: I'm not that very girly girly kind. I've done ragged sports before)

 

2) I want a bike that would not break my back in the long run.

 

But ultimately if i could'nt find anything that suits me i might go back to CBR150, which is also 1 of my considerations.

Nope. i m guessing that too. Since CBR125 head is much nicer. But too bad.. U cant. All u can do is peak up ur performance and let the bike that has earned lots of criticism beat the crap out of noisy bikes =D

hi, anyone has good price recommendations to replace the brake pumpkit and battery locally?

Anyway, its good to see that David still reading up on the stuff ongoing in the forum and with the CBR family. Shows he really is part of the family still hahaha

What u been up to lately David?

 

Haha.. I only can read up when im on leave. Other than that, I couldnt follow up. Been busy making money for doctor. LOL

 

pricing?

have been on $9/bottle Castrol Power 1 Semi-Syn for a long time. recently find gear changing not so smooth already even after changing fresh oil.

 

not too sure if wan to try Castrol ActivX, a cheaper oil compared to Power 1 Semi-Syn but viscosity 50 instead of 40 (Power 1 Semi-Syn).

 

U might want to adjust ur clutch cable. It might be the source of the changing gear prob.

 

50 is healthier for the bike but u lose out in fc and power. I believe u knew this. But bike used only to go office and come back home (no more cck - tmp - cck right?), 40 is a better choice. U might want to consider other brand. Perhaps mobil?

i'm thinking of dismantling the whole head and just put a round headlight in.... and then put a super tall wind-shield.... heh heh heh... doing research on how to go about doing it....any knowledgeable persons know how our headlight systems work?? Relays??? Wiring??? switches??? etc??

haiz..this reminds of my dream project which i gave up after the minor accident abt a year back.

 

i believe it is possible to get the cbr125 front fitted on our cbr150. nils, u may just be the man to assist any of the bros here interested to attempt this project! i see plenty of 2nd hand cbr125 fairing & parts available on ebay~

 

but it costs just too damn much to ship those parts over to Spore seperately. maybe a consolidated shipping package may bring down the cost by quite a bit.

 

ordering the parts fresh from Boon Siew doesn't work either. they do not have the parts available off the shelf. and my unfortunate experience with them ended up with me high & dry, without a complete quotation provided even after letting them know all the parts i require. estimated cost using brand new parts = $500.

 

The reason for my choice in scooters:

 

1) Its just that a gal would look better on a vespa rather than on a sports bike.(Disclaimer: I'm not that very girly girly kind. I've done ragged sports before)

 

2) I want a bike that would not break my back in the long run.

 

But ultimately if i could'nt find anything that suits me i might go back to CBR150, which is also 1 of my considerations.

 

no worries lah. each type of bike have got it's attractiveness & pros & cons. actually it isn't that stressful on backs to ride the cbr150 as compared to those class 2A & above sportsbikes.

hm..not expert here, but what do u wan to know about headlight wiring? Positive wire split into 2 (cause we have 2 headlights). applies for both normal beam & hight beam. shared grounding (green wire) along w/ the signal lights & what-nots.

 

i am just wondering how u r going to cover up the metal bracket supporting the front fairing & meter assembly after stripping the front fairing off. how abt where to hide the wire harness? and also assuming that u intend to keep yr side fairings away as well. if not they will stick out like sore thumb.

major project!

 

perhaps can try changing to digital speedo so u can do away w/ the entire meter assembly so u can trim off/modify the metal bracket to complete the look!

 

U might want to adjust ur clutch cable. It might be the source of the changing gear prob.

 

thanks bro. will try it out.

He not free... very busy loooking for job.... let SSGT chris organize... anyway zed our school starting soon.... sooooooooooooooo............... back to the rat race for now!!!

I'm going to strip down everything and leave the 2 headlights on like this..... when i can be bothered to dismantle the meter cos i think it has to come out together with the head cowl....

[d0n]

wow thats quite ex....

 

that's price of a new brake pump.

for brakepump kit (consist of only a few small tiny parts), damage is prolly ard $20-30? i did mine in JB for ard RM$45 if i dint recall wrongly.
