As long as the patch is done properly, there won't be any problems. Since we are only using the bike for normal roads, not on track.

 

As for the method...................

 

Refer to the instruction guide.

 

It's a simple process, but quite difficult to explain in words. Why not get someone to show you for the first time?

ya lor.. still surfing on sbf forum but not wave section.. sometime just take a look see see...

hey guys.... Question on Wave 125S

 

My brother went to HKL to change to sports rims and tubeless tyres Dunlop TT900 Low profile.

 

I noticed that they actually fit the same type for the front and back..... Is this correct?

I found out that ContiCity from Continental are tyres recommended for our cubs. The tyres are stated universal, so it's no issue to fit the front and back wheels. Just that KinTai told me no stocks. They are the dealer for Continental.

 

Size varies from

 

2.50 17 (43P) TT ContiCity Universal

2.75 17 (47P) TT ContiCity Universal

3.00 17 (50P) TT ContiCity Universal

90/80 17 (46S) TL ContiCity Universal

110/80 17 (57S) TL ContiCity Universal

 

According to calculation, 2.75(f) and 3.00® should be close to a 70mm(f) and 80mm® right???

 

 

Care to share the prices $$???

1 question. what's the original size of WaveS 125's tyres ? I'm referring to the slim type, not the fat tyres.

 

Currently I'm running on 80/80 Front + 90/80 Rear, bike feels heavy, so wanna change back to original size.

 

Anyone knows, Thanks in advance !

Bro Very hard to get the original sizes la. Maybe u can try use these size.

 

Front - 70/90

Back - 80/90

 

Currently I am using the IRC GOLD WINGS tyre. It's a soft compound tyre. Not bad in the rain also got grip!

[maxbg]

Issit ok to use 80/80 for both front and back? the steering seem a bit hard to turn.

[RxzDelux]

Forgot to mention that the bike is also installed with new sports rims front and back. Air pressure 225 front 250 back.

 

Now the bike just want to go straight. Need more effort than the normal setup to make a turn. Any idea if this is normal.

hi all,

 

i am thinking of changing bike from wave to others. i have fixed original Honda black rims and Bridgestone Battlax tyres about 4,5 months back. I can swap with u guys' original set and u guys top up. only one set. both in excellent condition. i don't throttle when i corner so still very good. used for about 10km or so but another 1 yr no prob. I spent $330 for this, all brand new rim get special discount cos clear stock by my mech. can pm me if keen. i disposed my old tyre and spokes rim set so we need to settle down at a motordiam and have the deal done. then i go change bike.

 

One thing for sure, Battlax rulez. if u fell down, during cornering, that's ur fault only. cos footrest and road collision is the limit u need to care.
