need some info...

 

1) What is the stock size for the sporket?

 

2) to top the radiator,is it the same coolant use for the rear coolant can be use ?

 

3) any recomended workshop?

hi guys, im interested in cbr150 (old one)

 

but i dont see many people selling it. is that bike not popular or not in demand or what?

Most of them COE just renewed... so owners holding on to it first... or the rest are being scrapped... alot of FV,FW plate cbrs. IMO la... its quite a popular bike la...

[eddicted]

I have an old cbr150, coe 2014, mileage 9xxxxx. Can only hit max speed of 100km/h at 7x rpm. Any more and the handlebar will vibrate too much.

 

Any idea is this normal? What do i need to do to improve?

Having the same problem as you. FBA plate. Fixed alot of wear and tear and it will still vibrate like mad after 100km/h, at about 7.5k/8krpm. Guessing it's normal?

thanks for your reply.

 

 

btw for you guys whose handlebars keep vibrating, you all never ask shop ah?

[niteblade]

its quite normal for these four stroke bikes with small displacements... putting a heavy handlebar balancer does help kill the vibrations quite abit...ahboy sells for 15-20 dollars... also doing your valve clearances will help make the bike feel smoother if it is out of spec

[Tonghoi]

The shop boss tell me that new cbr150r no warranty because under parallel import.

Lidat is very risky or not?

Btw the maintenance is expensive or not?

Hi, for starters, let's try doing this. Check if there is voltage over the two connectors of yr Rad Fan. If there is, yr Rad Fan is out. If no voltage present at the two connectors, there might be a fuse. Just check it first before going to a bike shop.

Hey there guys.

 

I'm riding the new CBR 150 R 2011 version and the bike's compared decently well. With it's good fuel economy and decent power, i believe it's a well deserved buy.

 

The only thing is, there a 6 bars for the fuel gauge. So far, I've been riding at an average speed of 90 to 100km/h and when my bar reaches the last one (blinking), my milleage hits 400km. Ok, so I decided to continue riding for about 25km more. Feeling insecure, I decided to pump full tank and to my surprise, I only managed to hit 10.7 litres of fuel.

 

How in the freaking world can we check when the bike reaches reserved tank? All I know it starts to blink. For R15, when it reaches reserved tank, the blinking will disappear and the fuel bar becomes full with the trip meter reset by itself to zero. From there we can see clearly how much more fuel we have on hand before it goes totally dry.

 

Do anyone here has the answers? Answers that are factual and not by guessing or grapevine? Really need to know.....Cheers!!

checked the fuse. all is good. tml gonna c the power. thanks for the advice

[Xyphriel]

Just to check, the old (2006) cbr150's fuel capacity is 10l without any reserves right? Or 8l with 2l reserve? I assume the redline in the fuel gauge is not a reserve, but just serve as a warning of low fuel. Cos when I pump full tank from redline(1/8 tank left?) usually only 7l then full alr.

10 L is wo reserve.

any bros selling stock handlebar and bar end weight, pls pm me. looking for left and right one. thx

Ok, after checking, there are afew pointers too. If there's power, you might be wondering what went wrong. Well, to get you to understand, a Rad Fan has a thermostat. This thermostat controls when to start activating your fan to turn.

 

Thermostats sometimes do get faulty over time due to wear and tear. There are two thermostats in your bike or in any bike equipped with Radiators. One thermo will be placed above your cylinder block. This particular thermostat actually a valve which actually retracts and extends. Its function mainly is to release your water flow from the radiator to the cylinder block. Example, every machine has a working temperature. When you just started your bike, the thermo at the cylinder block does not release the water flow from the radiator to the cylinder block. As such, your bike will get its warm up session to its working temperature. As in a raining day, your cylinder block gets splashed with water and gets wet due to the heavy rain but still, your machine is in its working temperature, controlled by your thermostat valve.

 

If your cylinder block gets too hot, the valve will retract and the water (cooled down from your radiator) will start flowing into the cylinder and in turn cools down your engine to its correct working temperature. At the same time, the thermostat linked to your Rad Fan will activate your Rad Fan to turn to cool down coolant flowing in your radiator.

 

That is the best explanation I could give you in regards to how your Radiator Fan, Coolant Flow and the two thermostats works as a team. Any mistakes in my explanation, please pardon me.

 

Cheers!!

Hi there!!

 

The old CBR is my ride before. True enough, this bike vibrates but not as much as you think it would be. Mine suffered the same before but after analysing the factors, I decided to do my own problem solving.

To explain, the front telescopic fork suspensions acts as a shock absorber and reduces vibration necessarily. In the fork suspension, there are two springs in each fork (if I'm not mistaken). One spring is very short and the other is very long. The short spring absorbs sudden and hard impacts while the longer spring smoothens the impact recieved. The fork oil in the fork suspensions acts to reduce the bumpy effects of your front fork. Example, a fork suspension will get very very bumpy when your fork oil is not at its equivalent level.

 

Check any traces of oil at your fork suspensions, somewhere between the shiny metal which enters into your lower fork. If there are traces of oil, it means your fork is leaking. Less fork oil makes your shock absorbent bouncy as it is only supported by your springs. If the fork oil is top up too much, your fork suspension will then be too hard and when your bike moves over uneven gradiant, the fork does not "play" (up and down) well.

 

 

Hope this will help you. Cheers!!

so our old CBR have no reserve ? but why i top up empty tank only 8L max ?

thanks for the detailed explanation bro. i juz changed a new radiator. was thinkin mayb the starter switch of the fan at the rad is spoiled. oh well, ill take a look into it again. kind of lazy nw. hahaaa

 

so our old CBR have no reserve ? but why i top up empty tank only 8L max ?

 

for mine, if the needle touch the red line, still can go quite a long distance. even the needle drop below the red, theres still enuff to travel for a few clicks. the most i pump was 9.5 litre when the needle is below the red line fuel.

That's why I was wondering why I hit redline then I look into my fuel tank still got quite a bit of petrol left. I guess our petrol gauge not so accurate after all huh.

[lsjice]

i kinda got bored and read through this whole page of comments since about the 3rd july onwards and well.. here goes my thoughts

 

#1 idk why some people only hit a top of 100 cause i can hit 120 very easily (and 140 if i choose to drag the 6th gear a bit)

p/s: going at about 8.5k rpm. well, its a sportsbike. its designed to perform within that range. you can't expect to ride it within th 5-6k range and expect to even exceed 100km/h

 

#2 yea i do agree with the vibrations. get some bar end balancers. i'm currently on cbr600 '06 heavy weight racing bar end balancers. feels just like a vibrating phone that doesn't 'pause' when someone calls.

 

#3 idk about '06 model onwards, but my '02 model (probably the very first generation model) currently hits a maximum fuel tank of about 6-7 litres. on average i pump 4.5-5.5 litres. when it touches red (and there's still some fuel inside when i open the cap, just not sure how much and don't wanna push my luck) then i'll probably be able to pump say 6. at max 6.5

 

pps: my bike is fully stock internally

 

cheers and ride safe y'all
