Topic : New wave S

Description : Some queries

 

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

 

Hi guys i just bought a new wave S recently from Looi,s Motor

i change a pair of rear suspension( lousy type i guess the brand was GBR) and a a pair of sports rims and tyre( back is 90/90 front 70/90)

A few questions to ask

 

1) Is it normal that a stock wave has lousy pick up

2) how come i always feel that while travelling on the expressway i got this feeling that the ride is always very bumpy? ( bcos of lousy suspension)

3) when going over 80 km/h and above it would seems harder

to control the bike.

 

Hope to get some advice from you guys,thanks a lot !!!

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

 

wave , x1 or which type is more econmical .

with clutch better or without bettter?

lastly wat to change when buy a brand new cub..

[inrsoul]

I think stock tires gotta go... Especially those on a brand new sonic. Right axxis?

[Axxis]

Actually it depends on the importer.

The stock tyres from Bike Production are crap which is great if you're intending to fit wider wheels anyway. I think the same bike from Mah is fitted with slightly better tyres on sports rims.

But I don't think that quite justifies the 1k or 1.5k difference in price

Topic : Buying Wave or X1

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

 

Hi folks just like to seek some opinion if I wana buy a bike for going place (to & fro from work roughly 7km per trip) which bike should I buy? With the increase in petrol price hope to get a economical bike.

 

Like to hear from you folks..

[Axxis]

none of the above!

Get a sonic... as economical as a wave but WAY more fun.

Around 2+k 2nd hand depending on age and condition.

or 3.5k or so new OTR from Bike Production.

=p

[sky_80]

Wave Or Cubs are all similar..........

 

Economical.............. They are no different from each other.........

 

To get Extensive parts and servicing available... WAve is the Soloution!!!

Don't be fooled into believing this...

 

Certain cubs are very different in terms of handling and response. The key differences being 2 or 4 stroke, the number of gears, and automatic or manual clutch and the front forks and rear shock...

 

difference in the various bikes as follows:

Engine type... 2 (125z/dash) or 4 stroke (wave/sonic/raider/x1)

Air cooled (wave/x1/raider/125z) or Liquid cooled (sonic)

Gears... 4 (wave/x1), 5(sonic) or 6 speed (125z/raider)

Clutch... auto (wave/x1) or manual (sonic/raider/125z/x1-optional)

Shift pattern... traditonal or inverted shift (up vs down)

Suspension... twin rear shocks (wave etc) or mono-shock (sonic/125z/raider)

Front forks... half length (wave/125z/x1) or full length (sonic/raider/dash)

Brakes... disc or drum (rear)

[lo-on]

Think X1 petrol consumption is the best in the local market currently ...

 

$5+ of unleaded 98 can hit around 200 km without touching your reserve tank ...

Not yet, just ask around first then thinking of buying lor, anyway not the type to chiong with others.

 

In term of price which is cheaper? $3.5K for a new wave, how about X1? Wow all the comment sure is good for reference must remember that. Thanks to all who have forward your comments appreciate it.

[Axxis]

alj> I believe the Wave-i (injected) is the best as far as fuel consumption is concerned. They claim it's something crazy like 60km/l

 

Good thing about the X1 is that you have the option of buying the auto or manual clutch version.

From what the feedback from wave (I) and X1 riders who i have come across is that the eventual better fuel consumption winner still goes to X1

 

What u have mentioned that wave (I) can cover 60km/L is something which i did not receive from the riders

 

Anyway thanks alot

[2wheels]

wads the cheapest 2nd hand x1 arnd? seems like a gd transport bike for me

X1 $3.3K OTR w/o ERP unit frm bike production

 

anyway i tink the distance frm yr home to work 7km is super short lor

u r better off w/ SP in that aspect

i travel between CCK and Tampines 2-3times per week

so my wallet hurts more

[GrimReaper]

Get yourself a X-1, great bike for commuting, advice u to get the gear version, cos can pick up faster. But Still R1 is my baby.

hey bro dont get the idea that X1 is for super distance travelling

I find that X1 is actually very good for short trips compared to wave

 

 

sp the riding posture not very relaxing

(not relaxing to my balls too)

must spend $ on 2T also+white smoke+inspection

 

get X1 best la! u sure like it!

 

No 2T, new bike no inspection for 3 or 4 years?, relaxing!

[IdiotiClown]

hahahahahahahaha...each bike gt their own pros n cons..would a BMW salesman ask u to go buy a Honda car? fuel consumption is nt fixed unless u ride 60 n below..wat manufacturers states r jus guidelines usin calculation...bt back 2 basics: less fuel consumption = less power..as someone jus said:Certain cubs are very different in terms of handling and response..bt we r sayin abt fuel consumption here.....lets us nt argue abt which cubs r better...tis community would nt be made possible w/o u noe who...so do show some basic mutual respect...yeah 1 more thing does fork n shocks contribute 2 fuel econ? Never Discriminate each other..tis is a thread done by cub riders for cub riders..hope u guys get wat i mean...
