personally i prefered brake disc as the braking effect is better.... was riding a smash for a few months back and realised that the brake drum as compared to brake disc isn't so good..... more for safety reasons.........

 

beside that i was riding other makes before and now, still prefer disc braking than drum braking........which is why i enquired about it.....

 

but don;t think will get a wave that soon as now still having a project on my current ride......maybe year end or next year depending on $$$

[y0s_bikey]

yea dats for sure 1 great instance u wont see a sports bike with drum brake... personally i oso feel dat disc brake is better dan drum... so im still waitin for a nice kup with stock rear disc like the new wave X i spotted in thai website its disc but in sg its drum will find out more infos regarding dat.

[Ashcroftx]

I believe there is a reason for major cubs using drum brakes have their own

 

reason and specs. If not every cubs already using disc brakes

[SmallCC]

Reason for rear brake drum not so power because not to let the rear wheel lock during emergency brake as this will cause the bike to slide on the side which is very dangerous. So when modding the rear brake to disc type, make sure the rear disc caliper is not so power. Do not use the same front caliper type to mod it to the rear brake!

You can check those racing bike, the front and rear brake calipers are different.

Changing an another cc carb would affect the petrol consumption greatly.

 

I would suggest changing the cdi is enough.

 

A fellow forumer currently selling HRC racing cdi for wave at $110. can ask him

 

Gd and cheap stuff. Racing cdi, in general, removes the rev limiter, so as to

 

make the bike move faster in terms of pick up and high end. It also smoothens

 

your ride. Put in a cdi and you'll feel the difference!

[Ashcroftx]

In anycase, you can always pm him..

 

 

His selling thread

 

Cdi's for sale

[revenge]

but would changing to a bigger carb have bad effects on the engine meaning like hurting the engine?

[Ashcroftx]

Cubs are not meant to Rev.. so in some means.. it stresses the engine..

[revenge]

ok, thanks alot, will let my fren know. thanks

whel locked doesnt means dat the bike will slide to a side... if u encounter sliding to a side dat means ur posture is not right... basically a kup stock caliper is only 2 piston at most u cannot possibly mod a 4 pot on rear disc... so basically the rear caliper will b the same as the front...

[Ashcroftx]

I think the front caliper is quite MAKAN one.. if rear and front also MAKAN

 

alot then hw u fly infront?

[SmallCC]

ok, thanks alot, will let my fren know. thanks

 

No problem, always think safety 1st not garang 1st. We are on 2 wheels only not 4 wheels. Don't anyhow mantle with the brakes . The manufacture design this bike have gone through calculation and testing, not suka suka think can work then put in. The disc brake itself oridi have more makan power than the drum brake.So installing a rear disc brake will more likely cause the rear wheel to lock and increase stopping distance.

[madboi]

the best is to change cdi first izit? anyone know the price of the cdi? wat kind of brand is suitable for wave?

[Ashcroftx]

Best is to change cdi to go alittle bit faster.

 

Wave can't fly fast.

 

Its the most petrol saving bike.

 

How fast u want it to go? Lol

[madboi]

not expecting much. the moment i buy kup kia i already know le. Just wish to haf more pick up when having a pillion.

[inkedz]

what others can change to have a increase in speed and pick up except for CDI

[y0s_bikey]

u can only choose btw pick up or top speed...

[thrasher]

wave ah... haa, if it were me, i'd mod the petrol tank become larger.. top speed not important... economical more important. gahahah

[ah_hong]

125z can change cdi?

[madboi]

all bike can change de lo..... cdi remove the power cut for ur bike.....
