CBR150R Riders, Join us now!

Apparently you can get them from Chong Aik but they charge too much considering you can buy these parts in Thailand for a fraction of the cost. You can always go to LAB and ask then for a price as they have a source and it will be cheaper.

 

The newer CBR150 is available in a red/black paintscheme so you should be able to get the original fairings in these colors.

 

My friends have gone to BKK this weekend so I've asked them to see if they can find the small component head-fairing section I require. (this is made up of three small pieces which are connected together along with the windscreen.

hey the 2nd pic the CBR has a different exhaust! it so nice!

 

haha the pic is taken in singapore? who has it?

 

btw i went down to look at my bike just now, just noticed that the exhaust pipe is all rusted, damn disgusting, i dun mean the end can, the other pipe that is below the bike that leads to the engine. wat is it called?

does this bike has a rusting exhaust problem like kips?

 

how much does a replacement cost? :giddy:

[Axxis]

These are Thailand pics I believe. Taken from a website. The 2nd pic is actually from a link for the sale of the aftermarket pipe. Lots of other accesories too.

 

Yeah, that's a common problem on the CBR150's I've seen. The header pipe rusts but only surface/external rust. The pipe tubing is thick enough that it won't cause a big problem. I've never checked but you can also get this from LAB. At a guess I'd say a new pipe should be around the $40 or less. It should be less than the end can ($60+) in my opinion. Maybe a new header and end can for around $100. Just a guess though.

 

I've been considering painting mine with black high temp spray (but I can only find silver so far).

92 is fine as this is a relatively low compression engine.

The octane rating only relates to preignition in high comp engines. If you have a high performance (high comp) engine then you need a higher fuel octane rating.

Haven't translated the manual but if the 92 was too low you would experience "pinging" or preignition under engine loading which is rather easy to identify.

the cbr's compression ratio is 12:1.. is it considered low?? wat r the compression ratio for other bikes?? if i remember correctly, i only noe kr's compression ratio which is 7.5:1 i tink.. for what i noe the higher the compression the engine needs higher octane rating fuel rite?? ive always been using RON98 or RON97(m'sia) coz price diffence not much.. btw how does the pinging sound like?? izzit like metal hitting metal sound??

well the fine for using illegal pipes in singapore is quite expensive right? guess i gotta stick to the stock pipe then.

 

wat aftermarket accessories do u guys put on the cbr? or u all feel cbr should be kept as stock as possible since it's a commuter bike?

FIne for illegal pipe is $500. + many hassles. u will be booked, u need to replace the end can, after which u need to go to LTA for inspection.

 

 

its best left as stock condition.

wah 500 bucks!. no joke man. so expensive! liddat can change 5 sets of stock pipe. haha

 

any idea if the whole exhaust system will be difficult to install? think it'll be cheaper for me buy from LAB and fixing it myself rather than ask the shop to do it right? any good estimate of the cost savings?

 

thanks for all ur input guys! been bothering u guys so much lately

[Axxis]

Yes, the exhaust is easy to install yourself but hard to transport around. LAB won't charge much for installation at all but they could mess up your fairings. I would suggest you remove the bottom half of the fairings (below the headlight faring section) yourself at home and then ride the bike down to LAB. Buy the exhaust and then send the bike to their shop for fitting. Will save you time and money.

how often do we have to change air filter? wat kinda benefits does it give to the bike? if got improvement i dun mind changing if it's not too expensive! how much?

 

since the previous owner of my bike can only tell me she changed 4T for the last servicing. i assume other things she dun really know and replaced ba.

u refering to the illegal pipe ah? ermm tempted leh but the fine too much for me lah. put liao also no point, how fast can CBR150 go sia? sound nicer only right?

 

i rather save the money for my 2A bike!

[limbat]

Ok guys, ozzarhomb will be taking 1, so I got 1 left - anytakers ??

[ozzarhomb]

somebody gotta teach me how to change the air filter though! no idea how to do it! :confused:

[limbat]

Me either ...... i guess i will get a shop tt normal change my engine oil in JB to do it for me.

 

I fitted my CBR wif a HS-HID light on the right side - the lights are superb. The strong glare is still there but i manage to lower the light beam. There is a adjusting nut at back of the lamp casing.

 

Shoik man now got white lights & superb beam direction pattern, it is like the whole dark street just lights up upon switch on.

[limbat]

I kept the left side as normal to be use as driving lights. Only use the HS-HID mostly in Malaysia, where the streets are dimly lighted. I also installed on/off switch to both the lamps.

won't using those bright white HID lights be too strong for the housing and melt it? i heard of some cases stated in the forum say their SP cannot install HID lights. :confused:

 

so ya go to malaysia often ah?
