hi guys!!

 

I'm a pround sonic rider too :) I want to mod the bike so could someone share some experiences. I'm thinking of:

 

1. Buy a racing cam: anyone knows which cam is good and where to buy it?

 

2. Caburetor: I heard alot about Keihin cab but it's expensive!! So anyone knows other good brand cab or where to get the Keihin cheap? Also what is the best size for Sonic, 28mm?

 

3. Exhaust: is the Endurance muffler sold in Thailand good or I should go for Yoshimura and which model? And replace the muffler only or the whole pipe?

 

4. Brake: Can I fit brake disc from CBR( or TMZ or Aprilla) to Sonic? Is it really better than the original brake?

 

Any other suggestions ?

 

Thank you very much guys!!

Ask urself 1st u want mod the bike for what sort of purpose.

 

If for track purpose then it's diff from mod top-speed

Posted

Thanks lah :)

 

lifeless: not for track. I just want to get a bit more performance for the weekend runs :) Like more torque for accelaration, that sound-effect (like the bigger CBR!!) from the exhaust (hehe), better stability (I only rode up to 120 and the bike vibrated a lot!!).

 

I use it everyday so really don't want to racetrack-mod, but more like "upgraded" performance :) can you give some hints on where to start?

Posted

srs125> i run at 130 before, head down, straight flat road. vibration smooths out about that speed. it's bad at 120 somehow.

 

start with carb :D

 

axxis and i saw a sonic with a cbr150 carb... niceeeee...

then maybe u just get a bigger stroke cc engine will solve ur problem.

 

I have one extra engine, if u interested then let me know

Posted

replacing the engine is to much troublesome, I think :)

 

Talking about carb, which brand of carb and size is good for Sonic, anyone can give a recommendation lah?

Kevin> It was a CBR150 HEAD (DOHC) with a modified crank and a flatslide carb.

I think the total capacity of that engine was near 200cc. NASTY!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

Sonic is one of the easiest bikes to push start. I always used 2nd gear though.

1. Turn the key to on

2. Place in 2nd gear

3. Pull in Clutch

4. Push the bike until it gets up to a reasonable speed (very easy with a sonic)

5. Jump on (or you can push while straddling the bike)

6. Dump the clutch and the bike should start.

7. Normally right after the engine fires it's advisable to pull the clutch in again and rev the bike a little to warm it up.

 

Anyway, sounds like your bike has a flat battery which could be due to the rectifier or just due to the battery no longer being able to hold charge.

 

You don't need to press the starter button at the same time. DO NOT DO THIS!
