I do understand the need for speed.. :p Riding the '14, you feel like you own everyone else on the highway.. I was up to Thailand once with my Guzzi Stelvio.. Even a 700cc Deauville overtook me.. Comfort is excellent but not satisfaction from speed.. Haha..

 

Quick check guys on some mechanical advise..

 

'08 model Kawa, inline 4 engine.. Bike hasn't been ridden for the longest time.. We're talking like 5,000km on the odo for the full 4 years. Battery fully charged, engine oil changed.. Bike starts fine and rides fine but refuses to go above 6,000rpm. When hitting 6,000rpm, the bike feels "choked" & refuses to go further. Redline is at 11k.

 

What could be the problem?

- old petrol in the tank?

- tank rusted within?

- fuel pump needs cleaning or replacement?

- float level needs adjusting?

- synchronization needed?

- fuel line clogged?

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Haha e gsa oso very comfortable bro, too comfortable until can slp liao haha...

 

For e problem above, almost all dat u list cud b e caused bro... I recommend u send to ah tak coz he's good with kawis.. :)

Yeah, the trend for the ex '14 owners is towards adventures, I wonder why.. My buddies from the C14 has moved on to adventures as well.. one riding a Multistrada, the other 2 riding Super Teneres.. one with a GS & I myself have gotten a Tiger.. Still missed my '14.. Waiting for the right deal to snap back one.. :p

 

True that. Was considering a S10, but looking at the price of Japanese bikes now, I told myself "what the hell!". Did not fork out a single cent, yet kept my installment hovering around $400. Financially sound to me. So, yeah.

 

Of course, just like everyone here, if I were born with money, I'd love to own both. Haha! Too bad we're staying in Singapore. Keep Paying and Paying.

If you're riding a bike but not calculating the 50 possibilities in the 50 meters of road ahead of you, then you're dangerous and shouldnt be on one.

Go see Tak. Ask him to show you the dyno charts of some GTR that was tuned by him. You will see the difference, anyway PC V strongly recommended with the exhaust.
