CBR150R Riders, Join us now!

[SparkerS1]

CBR 150 has just launched in Malaysia...the talk of the town at the moment over there...heh

 

wah, serious?

 

now we can wait till how the mech at jb do up the bike to improve its performance

Yeah all are curious abt the bike performance there...they read review that cbr150 can go up to 140km/h...issit true?

most not happy with the top end...but fret not...cause that is stock...wait till i see a pimp cbr malaysian version....

Ermm, i think with stock tyres 160 km/h possible.

 

But their workmanship still a big problem there la.

few months later not a problem, cos they dun have LTA regulations over there, they can mod it anyway they wan, confirm can fight wif SP/KR/TZM in near future

Bro, what i meant is the poor quality of workmanship there. I will not try until you all give good reviews. So far, did some accesories there and all turned out crappy.

let's just wait and see ba. give the malaysian market some time to pick up.

 

the bike might not sell well at all.

Guys, with rgds to my worries earlier about my FC..

other than the possible reasons behind the low FC stated my bro d0n^ earlier, can it be due to the meter guage thats with an error??

 

Heres what I meant:

 

Just now, me and derrick went JB for petrol run.. at the point of the petrol station when we move off, to a particular junction back in singapore liao, his meter reflected that he went a total of 24km while I oni did 17km based on my meter..

 

Today after I pump petrol, my FC calculated is as follow:

Start mileage - 4689.2km

End mileage - 4980.9km

Total mileage covered = 4980.9 - 4689.2 = 291.7

Petrol Pumped = 8.314L

FC = 291.7km / 8.314 L = 35.09km/L

 

SO! If considering the meter's error as mentioned, every 24km, my meter reflects 7km less, heres my new FC:

Total mileage covered (reflected on my meter) = 291.7km

Total distance that did not reflect on my meter = (291.7km / 24km) X 7km = 85.08km

 

My new FC therefore is:

Total Mileage = 291.7km + 85.08km = 376.78km

Petrol pumped = 8.314L

NEW FC = 376.78km / 8.314L = 45.32km/L

 

Hope the above is not too confusing and messy to understand.. what u guys think??? can this low FC problem be due to my meter's error?

Cos, if i take that 7km into consideration, it makes more sense right?

riding at top speed 80km/H, FC = 45km/L

well, at least i dont see any trigonometry expressions there.

may i suggest that u follow me on 1 of my cck to tampines and back to cck trips to double verify the odometer inaccuracy on yr bike?

[Am hoppus]

wah dOn^, u serious ah? maybe i can join u guys too. hehe =)

if i didn't know that you guys go JB for petrol, i would definitely be lead to think that SG petrol is very cheap! =P

I think there's something wrong with the odometer.

Anyway Ladies & Gentlemen, today is such a bad day. I got my pocket burnt.

 

Here's the breakdown

 

Rear sprocket (41 teeth) - $14

RK X Ring 428 Chain - $77

Front Sprocket (15 teeth) - $4

 

**Prices does not include 7% GST.

 

Bike servicing which includes lowering fork, change headlight bulbs, EO, plugs and changing sprocket= $56.

 

Observations on a sprocket with lesser teeth. Same speed with a lower RPM. So, i guess more top speed but compromise on pick up and its noticeable.

 

Lower RPM same speed means lesser fuel consumption? Correct me if i'm wrong.

who ask u install X ring chain. haha, normal heavy duty chain will do le mah. it cost me 50 bucks to change sprockets and chain.

 

not necessarily will be better fuel consumption, cuz it probably means that u have to throttle more to hit the same speed, engine's working harder due the the gearing.

 

as for top speed, i won't be surprised if top speed will be lesser or about the same. bike might not have enough power to pull on such gear ratios. my opinion lah, update us when u have tried. limbat tried a smaller rear sprocket before if i didn't remember wrongly

[lazy1000]

Bro, maybe we should really try that.. but probably next week liao.. Im flying off for holidays later and oni be back on monday..

 

After I come back, I'll still be on MC though.. until the following monday, 14th.

So most probably between 8th - 13th should be alright..

Leave me a msg lor cos I also dunno ur work/study schedule..

My H/P: 98778210

 

*PS: Maybe anyone who wanna comes along can let us know also.. Then we mass check odometer!! HAHA..

[zinc]

Hey guys...regarding the sprocket and stuff.. I chaged mine to the normal standard size ones 4 the front and back a few months ago. The previous owner was using a slightly smaller one b4 this. Wad i noticed was that yes there was a slight decrease in top speed. But the pick up increased. Can feel the difference. Maybe becaused i chaged to a more expensive spark plug as well.

 

As for fuel consumption, it will decrease by a bit too if u try to achieve the same speed because u will be going at a higher rpm. Hope tis helps...

uh oh, now so many bros keen to follow me on the cck -> tampines -> cck trip?! hahaha

 

yday just saw bro tpchua posted up his cbr for sales. tink his bike resembles mine the most closely so far.

 

anyway, ozzar is right about changing of sprocket sizes to improve topspeed. technically, the bike should achieve faster top speed by increasing front sprocket size or reducing rear sprocket size.

 

but due to limited power produced by our bike engine, the bike may not be capable of reaching that extra increase in speed.

 

for the same reason, FC may slightly improve for highway riding and slight deprove for street riding.

wa... change so many things... then we when go flush coolant?

ok got you. will try when the oppurtunity arises.

ok now i night owl so ypu call me anytime i go change coolant.

[collectees]

go AGL change or DIY. Derrick did it before, doesn't sound difficult. i may be going ah boy to buy the coolant first after work.

[kifakw]

just wondering

 

do u guys faces this problem, when ur tachometer goes beyond 7k rpm. ur bike vibvrates vigorously.

 

or when u're cruising above 100km/h whereby ur rpm is beyond 7k rpm, ur bike vibrates vigorously like the same.

 

is it the engine problem or is it a norm for a cbr150?

i have e same prob i think is bcoz our bike is like that de.. rpm 7k will start vibrate a bit 8k quite a lot but once e speed up to 120kmh and above cant really feel e vibration mayb due to e high speed divert our concentration ald ba..

i wouldn't think that it's norm cos my bike has little or no vibration until 8k RPM. but you must know i lube my chain and pump my tyre every fortnight. also, i try and grease every moving part i can see. i don't have any balancers, so vibrations should increase, but i do wear gloves, so maybe that acts as buffer.

 

feel free to come for a test ride, cos if there is nothing to compare, how would i know my bike is having no vibrations?

Derrick said can change at one bike shop not sure the name. i'm not going jb to do bike anymore. Sorry.
