********************************************************************

 

I always felt that my rims are like bicycle rims and they dont seems very stable, would like to ask for advises from brothers and sisters here on what type of rims should I or can I use on a Suzuki Katana 125? I would like to know how much it would take to change the rims as well..

 

Thanking all the brothers and sisters in advance..

[y0s_bikey]

if u have the time u can go malaysia to change ur rims as malaysia is always cheaper dan SG

while rims all sorts got all sorts of price range btw $80 - $130

price not inclusive of tyre

while if u dun have the time den have to do in sg

range is bout $100-180 depending on models and brands

 

hope the info helps!

[Gal_SGRider]

ermmm... would a slightly wider rim be ok?? will slow down the speed?? but so slim like very unstable leh... somemore its those spoked rim... look and felt like a bicycle rim leh...

[y0s_bikey]

sports rim is heavier than the spokes rims thus will be slightly more stable

but top speed oso will be slower liao due to additional load

anyway most sports rims are slightly wider dan spokes rims

yes its possiblr to use wider spoky rim... but its more advisable to use sport rims as it last longer BUT its much heavier then spoky rims...

[Gal_SGRider]

ooooh ooooh... so if i want a more stable rim then i will have to sacrifice speed (which is already not fast...)??

 

hmmm...

 

my reason for asking is because, the bike is so light (less than 100kg) plus me (only 50+ kg) when riding esp making turns and esp with strong wind, my bike will sway... got once i nearly skidded while making a left turn because of the strong wind...

yeah.. well i leave it to u to decide.. well i'm using sport rims but it dosent affect the speed that much..

[Gal_SGRider]

may i ask which bike are you riding?? Mine's the 4-stroke manual clutch katana 125... very bo lak one...

 

btw, you were saying doesnt affect that much... hmmm like 5km/h??

[RempitburnOut]

hey bro...im using sport rims too....i also thought my bike will slow down when change to sport rims. but i tried alreadi, it doesnt effect at all...my bike can still go up till 120km/hr. if u wanna play corner, i advise u use sport rims, it felt nicer when cornering using sport rims. if u wanna make it faster then change bigger sprocket lor...

[y0s_bikey]

most of us are all riding 4 strokes bike ah... but i would strongly recommend a sports rim more! no time to go malaysia can let me know i can get slightly more expensive dan malaysia but cheaper dan sg
