Haha.. the chain lube i got was just lucky..

actually the lucky draw was over.. din get anything but they got some chain lubes left and decided to draw it out..

LAST name i tio.. haha..

 

Actually was biting the teeth hoping to tio a helmet!

Cos been looking for a new helmet since I wrecked mine in the accident.. but din tio..

Continue hunting............

 

ya wee boon got a service package of 4 bottles of eo and spark plug brand ows , blur glur have a vepa jacket and zhenyuan have a chain lube haha only me empty handed haha never mind lah no much luck this year but the t-shirt they give not bad liao and the food $15 is worth loh so is fine

Hey guys, talking about FC.. I dunno y mine is so low leh..

 

Since my 1st tank til now, I've been doing 30km/l

Maybe last time cos the way I ride, keep chiong one doing 30km still agreeable..

 

But my most recent tank, my top speed max 80km/hr BUT I still doing 30km/l leh..

 

perhaps could be due to fuel not being combusted efficiently?

 

try the regular servicing stuff like spark plug, EO, air filter & cleaner, wash carburettor + retune, checking of all cables (throttle, choke, clutch) etc.

 

if the above doesnt help, then it could be due to power frm engine not being transmitted to the rear wheel properly.

this one could be abit more tricky as it will get more costly to 'tikam' which parts to replace.

 

possible checks include whether the wheels can rotate smoothly, chain/sprocket condition & size, whether engine oil gets consumed by engine, etc.

 

if still doesnt help, i guess will need to open up the engine for checks and replacement of wear & tear items.

 

truth is i've been planning to send my bike for sucha major servicing but till now, have yet to find a shop which gives me confidence that they are familiar w/ cbr150r.

 

hopefully after cbr150r gets launched in msia, the mechs there can pick up more abt the bike. at the same time, i also hope we dont find cbr150r becoming common target of bike thefts like rxz, etc.

[lazy1000]

Fact is, mine is a new bike thats troubling me..

Is it still possible that I'm facing such problems that u've stated??

 

Btw, thanks for the advise bro

i think it's possible woah, manufacturer's fault maybe? 30km/L is really chui.

[d0n]

i think it's possible woah, manufacturer's fault maybe? 30km/L is really chui.

 

this reminds me. i once spoke to a freelance mechanic who does on-site repairs. got him down when i short circuited my bike some time back.

 

he shared with me a case of cbr150r manufacture fault resulting in loud noises coming frm engine. after going for overhaul, problem solved temporalily but re-appeared after that.

 

guess the most saddening part was when he offered his opinion that my previous X1 could have been more reliable than cbr150r.

[lazy1000]

Wah :faint:

 

Let me continue to ride conservatively for another tank see how.. If really still doing 30km/l, I think I need u guys to help liao.. teach me how to check those stuffs..

Hope u all dun mind..

perhaps he made that comment cuz our engine is a bit more complicated than X1. might be the coolant part ba. cubs should be all air cooled i guess.

haha, not all cubs, spark is liquid cooled, then because cbr150 not very common, so most mechanic just troubleshoot like any other sports bike

[SparkerS1]

 

Actually I looked ard the forum and also heard ppl who changed BT39, most of them changed at $150 if not all..

And BT39 reviews for it is that the grip is good, be it wet or dry weather however it wear off faster..

 

Our stock size are:

Front 80/90-17

Rear 100/80-17

 

actually ppl also got change to bt39 or TT900, size is front 80/90 or 90/80, rear 90/80 for pick up, TT900 is also gd

new bike???

did u run in properly?

[winwin]

ya that day i went to a boon siew distributor there the mechanic there told me slowly they will bring in more accessories by that time they will know more abt our bike ba

 

but bad point is our bike sure will become bike theft's common target... so guys be extra careful when go over jb.

in car theory, the initial part when you run in your engine. your fuel consumption will be much lower than on the papers. for car maybe it's about 2-3kms less per litre.

 

after you run in your engine already, change your engine oil to another kind instead of the mineral. and after a while, your fuel consumption should be constant and able to hit 35 to 40 and above.

[malik88]
