no leh. my no. plates are black. haha.

my steel braided hoses are pirated ones.

but lasted me so far so good.

done ard 40,000km on them liao.

 

my bike came w/ problematic headlight casing too. looks like the headlight casing on our ride can tahan only ard 4 - 5yrs max.

uncle lim did mention before the likelihood of sparking occuring at the socket/connectors resulting in heat and melting subsequently.

Hi guys, another favour. Do any of you still remember what happened to my headlights? the thing melted incident when i tried to change blub at lim's place? Am i suppose to buy the whole headlight and does any of you by chance knows how to put the thing in place?

ahah really? cos i think CBR's rear braking SUCKS.. rly.. cannot really hold you down one..

 

but does the steel braided makes ALOT of diff and is it worth the investment?

but sparking? i don't think it happens that EZ-ily ba. Cos just now i was fixing my head light, i start bike then on headlight then use the bulb and twiddle on the socket.. i do see sparks, but if the light bulb is install correctly and properly in the first place.. i highly doubt this will happen...

 

unless water got in?

 

Okay. I believe you don't keep one fiddling with your electrics i think it will be fine.

 

My socket was badly melted, and thus i had to get new ones.. Must access the damage of yr head lights first..

 

I think most likely no need to change whole headlight if you still can remove your bulbs without problem. Only maybe the socket you need to change.

try not to buy fake ones... the original does cost abit more.. but its damn worth it.

 

my headlight now shines happily using the old stock bulbs.

i have never used expensive brands of steel braided hoses like HEL, etc so cant comment much on them.

for cheapo aftermarket hoses, they don't really improve much of braking effect (if they ever do at all).

 

the reason why i got them is a combination of cosmetic and preventive measure. the preventive measure part came from some article or hearsay i heard before on rubber hoses. dont quote me on this. but what i heard/read was that with long term usage, rubber hoses will start to weaken and expand slightly when brakes are depressed. this expansion somewhat reduces the brake oil pressure delivered between brake pump to calipers and result in weakened braking power.

 

maybe we should do a poll. does this make sense to u guys?

zed told me the same thing, he said

 

normal brake hoses will expand upon hard braking.. so what you get is not a smooth braking curve.

 

whereas, his brembo coupled with a steel braided allows him to have a better braking curve.. no need to press abit no power.. then press more suddenly lock wheels kinda situation.

 

thats why i wanna go and make also. cos my rear really CMI. duno is it the pads or what.

[ethanleeqh]

Anyone? assistance requireddddddddddd.

Anyone? assistance requireddddddddddd.

 

what is the problem? List down the problem more specifically?

 

cause i read read read.. i still duno how to help u.

Good morning PPl ....................... we should organise a DIYing get together .... there are some new CBR150 riders here i have not meet b4 .... i should be in SG for the next 2 weeks.......

I was reading the pages, some terms must be used correctly. Headlight/Headlamp Casing & Headlight Bulbs. The original Headlight Bulb is a pair of filament bulb - those sold in the aftermarket are Halogen bulbs. If u do take/replace/check your headlight bulb always try to grease the Headlight holder b4 putting them back to prevent electrical sparking, which does happen due to vibration, wear & tear.

welcome back Uncle Lim! a lot of the guys have been asking about you!

i was with him. i don't remember the exact mileage, but i knew he did so because his plates were slipping at top end speeds.

 

unlike engine oil and spark plugs, i believe clutch plates should be changed when necessary. different people have different half clutch techniques, so they would require change at different mileages.

zed upgrade to brembo pump liao ah?

w00tz~

[Cpt.ZR]

zed the front brake is using brembo. the handle, resevior, and the master pump.. but the caliper at the wheel there is not brembo if i rmb correctly.

 

 

i duno whats the correct term .. hpe u get what i trying to say lol:lol:

[collectees]

zed upgrade to brembo pump liao ah?

yup, i changed to R1 OEM Brembo master cylinder when my stock one broke. something in the internal pump gave way so i could pull the brake lever all the way to the back with zero effect.

 

cost me $100 cos it was 2nd hand.

zeddo, ask u arh. got some front brakes got this thing..

 

19X-- whats the numbers for?

 

and also, i saw one guy selling brembo brake master cylinder.. selling for 520 man.. whats the diffs?

[Cpt.ZR]

it's the bore x stroke of the brake pump..

 

this is the newest and latest brakepump that can be interswitch between 19x18 and 19x20..

 

number 19 normally means for dual disc bikes..

number 16 normally means for single disc bikes..

 

19x20 has more direct bite, but lesser feel (aka modulation)

19x18 has more modulation/feel but the bite is oso the same..

i heard gp uses 19x16..

 

main difference is the feel of the brake.. u can feel hw much it's braking.. normal road riding 19x20 setting is good.. for tracking wise 19x18 wld be more ideal..

 

this has the both of best world.. esp if u visit track quite frequent or on n off basis.. can consider investing in 1 of this great pump..

 

 

sry i self answered the qn! lol ayway its FYI for all!

Organise a DIY get-together laaaaaaaaaaaaa - last time u should have tried to change it when we were doing the DIYing..............

Hmmmmmm tt is interesting ........ how may i help - I really need to talk to you abt a new project of mine - a bike mounting system !!
