He picked up that pipe in Thailand for like $15 SGD. It's also oversized so it has slightly better flow.

oversize doesn't mean better flow, if his engine never mod, using oversize pipe will worsen the performance. The top end will be more jialat than original pipe

[Axxis]

Yeah, less restricted flow can sometimes reduce the tourqe and worsen peformance. If the flow in and out of the engine isn't balanced then there is little point. He changed the cdi, carby, mod the airbox and after some tweaking the performance was significantly better than stock.

[lifeless99]

so have u intend to keep ur sonic

[Axxis]

totally confused at the moment. My friend says he wants it after he passes his TP (2nd June, fingers crossed) so if so I'll sell it to him so I know it has a good home. Still considering if I should sell the CBR150 and get a DRZ400 motard as a daily ride. Only wanna have 3 bikes and the DRZ motard can be used for daily riding and fun at the go-cart track and PG and then I have my KTM for dirt use and the RS which is my cheap track bike.

It's not the best motard, kinda low on power and a little heavy but it's reliable and elec start unlike XR4, WR4, KTM etc. so it makes a good daily rider I think.

[Guest rookie517]

i use my drz for daily tpt for a short period of time

 

so far, it is as reliable as a xr4

no problem.

i will le u know the address.

 

Actually Sonic just make nice nice can liao, dun need to mod. In Singapore, i dun understand SMSA, how come 4 stroke Sonic must race togethere with 2-stroke bike.

[Axxis]

lifeless> it's coz the sonic will kick all the other 4 stroke cubs butts if it's allowed to race with them. It's kinda biased I agree but that's the way it goes. Apprently the sonics don't race with the other 4 stroke cubs in Thailand also.

[lifeless99]

aiyah, dun understand all also 4 stroke 125cc, why can not join togethere.

[Axxis]

yeah. Anyway, I was told that it's basically because most cubs are very simple air cooled 4 strokes with 4 speed boxes whereas the sonic has a 5 speed box with closer ratios, it's water cooled and the full length front forks and rear monoshock make it handle better than other cubs so they say it has an unfair advantage. Still waiting for e Raider150cc to come to SG. SUPERCub!

[lifeless99]

aiyah wat to do.

[Axxis]

My friend passed his TP today. I am no longer a Sonic owner. I'm sure gonna miss that little machine.

=(

[lifeless99]

i though u say u not selling liao

[inrsoul]

muahaha... it is i. the sonic takeover.
