Hey guyz.. Sorry for the late update.. I bought my cbr 150 on last monday

I went to HKL, but the guy said that cbr150 has no power compared to kr & SP

so he recommend me bikes like spark.. all those "khap" bikes...

 

Then, i thought of buying 2nd hand SP from him, then he say no stock

He juz sold 3 SP the day before... ( )

 

So i went to other shops along bukit merah lane... Then bought it at this shop lor..

But i'm not sure whether it was worth it or not lah.. the deal, i mean. Kinda feel weird

 

Total cost of bike + 3rd party insurance = $49** (excluding IU.. Haiz..)

Goodies - 2 helmet (after my mom bargain & bargain)

 

I was kinda hoping for a raincoat and bike cover maybe... Then2, if i'm not wrong

only the 1st servicing free...

 

*not forgetting.. Insurance is Mitsui, then my mom down $4k. So installment

is $115/mnth for 1 year

 

Then2, where can i go to fix my IU? & I hope that i don't need to let them keep the bike

for installing the IU

[Gimmie]

Halo fz... I am back! long time no see ya... I will be meeting Micki at Kallang KFC 9pm tonight. For those who are free pls meet us there!

U can actually go to the inspection centre with ya log card and buy the IU and then bring back to the shop or any shop that u want to help u fix. But then ater u buy the bike, u need a few days for them to register for u. U can actually ask them to register for the IU and then ask them fix.

Yeah.. Thanks for the info...

So this means that after i buy the IU from the inspection center, i can fix it on my bike

but i can't use it juz yet, rite coz they need a few days to register it..

 

By the way, i kinda ask my dad for a change of tyres from my stock tyres to the BT-39 after i get my bike, and i got lectured by him... bla bla bla..

 

"stock tyres are better than those new ones... people would rather get those stock tyres.

why?? you want to use the bike for racing, is it... Changing the tyres would affect the warranty.. bla bla bla...."

 

So, i guess i'll be stuck with the stock ones for quite some time, until i save up enough

to get those new ones.. But juz wondering guyz..

Are the stock tyres really that bad?? I read a few of the previous post and i kinda have

a bad feeling about the stock ones...

hey. congrats on ur new bike. got pix 2 show? .. hehe..

 

anyway, regarding ur worries.. hmm, actually some of the riders here has been using those stock tyres for a few mths although they thought tt stock tyres r slippery.. actually, if u ride carefully n slowly durin rain, it shld b ok la..

 

haha, i talk a lot but actually me myself change tyres to dunlop tt900 2mths after gettin my bike it's bcos i like to play2 corner, so i need gd tyres to "accommodate" my need.. hehe...

 

i tink the stock tyres r fine unless u hav those "extra needs" ;p haha.. but i tink it's better if those more experience riders giv their comments on tis cos im a newbie too

[ah fat]

mine is still stock tires lah. i dn find it really very bad. maybe cos i dn ride in the rain de. and just dn ride on the white markings of the road if u wna be careful lor

[boy_genius]

Oritey then.. Point taken, aman47 & ah fat..

By the way, i bought the red and black version.. Still awaiting collection..

Maybe on mon or tues... Wee!! Can't wait

 

Ohh yeah.. by the way, does anyone have the complete version of the "manual" for cbr 150..

I copied the one from this forum.. The one made by a lot of the tips by the members

compiled together.. But i'm not sure whether i manage to copy the full version..

[kahhwee]

Hi Winter, it's me!

 

I'm also thinking of getting the CBR150! Haha what a coincidence!

 

Have u passed ur 8.01? Hope u can make it for the TP practical test on 10 Jul (my test date). If both of us pass, then maybe can go shop around for the bike together. Hopefully can get better deal since buying 2 bikes.
