hey bro, dun worry about the seat. i'm 68kg and i used to be able to pillion my roomie who is about 74kg last time.

 

bike small = seat small. LOL

 

just dun expect the seats to be comparable to phantom or super 4 which has a generous seating space. it's alright for 2 person de, only thing is tt bike feels underpowered with 2 person on it. but then again, which 2B bike doesn't have this problem minus the 2 strokers? :smile:

[Rooney10]

bro u got private message from me! (: just some queries ah. hehe.

hi! i'm planning to get myself one cbr 150, firstly want to know how many model/version are there for cbr 150 in s'pore, coz after reading dis forum i understand dat there are cbr 125 n cbr 150, scared of buying e wrong model, which model of cbr 150 is powerful n heard dat top speed can reach up to 140+km/h is't true, cbr 150 2nd hand starting with what plate number f?. thks in advance. currently riding yamaha x1 very tiring n stressful on expressway.

it used to be my bike..

plan to buy it back lah...

i really miss it so much..

 

i go shop.. shop dunno ley...

[Metal Gear]

Hmm I'm sold on this bike. From reading here, think it's the best out of the 2B sport bikes available (Low FC, not bad looking, enuff power). Was wondering if Boon Siew has the 150 model though. Their webby only lists the 125 cc make. Thinking of geting it first hand but not sure if can get ard 4k (or less).

 

Anyone know of a good shop(s) to get one of these? Might have to find time to go out surveying soon.

The new 125 model's got a nice head...

Hi merbukcorner !!

I don't think they sell CBR125 in singapore (i'm in indonesia though)...

CBR125R only available at Europe & surroundings.

In Asia, we have the better one which is CBR150R!!

 

WIth DOHC and 21ps power, a stock CBR150R could run 150kph.... ! Trust me mate!! Just find a straight long stretch, and you'll head up for 150

[joey_sfb]

I second it. Very happy with the low fuel consumpation vs the power output provided by the cbr 150r. As long as i maintain 7000 rpm for most of my travel (60 -100Km/h), one full tank could last for 5 days to and forth pasir ris to clementi plus some side tracking.

 

Cheers!!!

[joey_sfb]

Just want to add, must change tyres to good ones, e.g bridgestone and others, otherwise need to take extra care under wet condition. i buang twice to learn that.

 

Ride safe

[blurger]

hello all,

 

can i check with u guys, whats the selling price for a 1 yr old cbr150 FZ plate ?

 

thanks

[Aman47]

waah.. getting more and more CBR150 riders still remember the time when tis bike is not tt common. now see a lot on the roads now

 

anyway, just asking.. what is the mileage to change our STOCK sprockets and chain? and roughly how much is both? ..

 

btw, just changed my rear wheel bearing yesterday, $28.. damn suey, riding in the rain den suddenly hit something. i think it's a hole in the road.. suddenly bike not stable already, like fishtailing all the way.. lucky never fall.. send to shop, they say bearing spoil.. after replace den ok liao..

 

so to all riders out there, especially new ones like us... be extra careful in this wet weather.. hazards can come and go anytime when u least expected it.. dun be like me.. haha.. take care ppl..

LOL, even after riding for almost 2yr plus liao i am still a noob, i can't relly troubleshoot my bike

 

can't help much too, ermm i usually send my bike straight to a bike shop after i buy for an inspection. for urs, just try riding first lor, see wat things u find strange or weird.

 

i always feel that a visual check on a bike is useless for untrained eyes like mine. must start riding then will know if everything's alright.

 

common problems for this bike, is slipping of gears, meaning when u are in 4th gear, suddenly got TOCK sound then u're in another guy. or perhaps the bike engine cough cough a bit here and there.

 

think i better leave it to the experienced guys out here. :cheeky:

yup nowadays really see a lot liao. not surprising lah, with the bikes wonderful Fuel consumption and practicality, consumers will choose to get the best deal mah.

 

as for the chain, i will say it depends un ur riding style, check ur sprockets by seeing if the teeth are nice and round or sharp and thin. worn sprockets will appear sharper and thinner than it used to be due to wear and tear.

 

chain see how much slack there is? another tell tale sign is when the chain cannot be tighten anymore right? the rear axle there would have been maxed to the end le.

 

i will estimate the stock chain to have a lifespan more than 10k mileage. perhaps 15k or 20k ba. :smile:

You might want to find a reliable shop to do a full servicing. For my case, lucky i took my friend advise to do it. When do the servicing we discover that there not much engine oil left and could cause serious engine problem if i continue to ride without engine oil.

 

Very cheap skate the motoriam... did not even fill up a bottle of engine oil yet tell me everything do until suysuy when i collect the bike.

 

Good Luck!

wah.. i think i better do a mechanic shop soon..

 

anw, i alr encountered a prob. my bike will rev up on its own . for eg, im in neutral gear, the bike suddenly rev up till 5rpm without me touching the accelarator. and when i switch to gear 1, the bike will move by itself when i release the clutch (didn't touch the accelerator). anybody know wad's wrong?
