If comfort is prime, then high screen and a Corbin seat are a good addition, expensive for Corbin, but a lifetime investment.

 

As for the heat problem, I will not consider it solved, at least when stuck in traffic, after all you have a massive engine between your legs, what do you expect.

 

I switched the OEM coolant to Bel Ray, the Muzzys fans, will generate far more air than the stock plastic ones.

I notice a very small difference in traffic on hot days, the fans kick in but stay on less longer than the plastic fans, therefore you save also on your fan motors.

However, once you get running the bike will cool down much faster and will stay cooler on hwy riding.

 

My advice to you, is that if you have a 2B bike, and you do not need to trade it in, then keep it for CBD riding. That is where the GTR is a nightmare to ride.

But once you are on open roads or touring up north, then that is the best tourer one can ride.

 

thanx frenchbiker, btw where u bought ur muzzys fan from? motoworld?

Ya....its a pain to pump the air in SIngapore gas station ah. When i first tried to do it, i took 30mins! Luckily there werent any cars in queue.

 

Eventually I bought a motorised compressor to pump at the car park....aahahahahh....

Not too sure whether the GTR can use or not. Because the tyre sensor is built together with the stock valve. You change valve, you change the sensor

Bro, its not street legal ah. Make sure you have another bike or car for daily transport.

 

French biker recommendation is correct. If you have a smaller cc bike, keep it. It will come in real handy. Now i only ride GTR once a week. Slow the maintenence cost too. ^_^

Hoot...back from a day ride to melaka. shiok! >_

[SoLoWinG]

The sensor is not built together with the stock valve, its just a sensor stuck onto the inside of the rims.

 

Our bikes are capable of extreme speed, braking and handling. I wouldn't want to skrimp on something like a tyre valve, so only the best will do.

I do not get any accessories from Singapore, I ordered the Muzzy's fans directly from the factory in the US.

nope, u dun have to remove the tyre. is a L adaptor that u just screw on to the tyre valve. less than 5min installation haha.

Hoot! you got it too? from the jason?? Which one did you buy? 6k also?

 

Malacca trip was awesome! I brought my wife along and we spend most of the time sight seeing. DId not do much shopping as i am not familiar with the place.

 

My average speed was 160km/h-180km/h ah. If i am tired, i go slow at 120km for my wife to look see look see and take pictures.

 

Sometimes i hit 200-220km/h to chase away the zzzz demon.

 

Do join the kawa group! Time for touring again. My friend jio me to go melaka again. eheheheheheehehehheh

 

I wanna go Penang and Ipoh! even KL!

Go on trip for makan session, you finished run in within 1-2 months already. wahahahahahahah

 

Bro, even though engine under run in. You can still go 100-120km/h on overdrive gear. Thats a very very comfortable speed, i say. Around 2-3RPM. You have not exceeded the run in limit. ehehehehhee

 

Thats the advantages of big engine! Run in, also can go fast.
