It almost the same form getting from bikeshop, unless you know the bike shop real well and the bikeshop know the dealer well. You getting from which bike model. ?

Dealer normally cnat sell you cheaper cos if they do, the bike shop wont be helping them to sell. Cos if dealer sell cheaper, who would wnat go to bike shop and buy. As you know bikeshop will get the exhuast cheaper, and it will depend if the bike shop going to sell you that price he got from the dealer. It all about bussiness and how well you know the bike shop.

Finally a clear pix! Nice man!

 

Amba... the race fairing izzit consists of the front, 2 sides & back? What about the tank?

Do you need to drill holes yourself? Also any brand i should look out for cos i'm thinking of

getting one myself too. Any suggestion?

this set by sebimoto.....from biketech21.

 

quality good, but quite ex.

 

the tank cover by germa-racing.de, they make engine armours too

 

all holes gotta drill urself.

 

actually, if u were to order "race" windscreens from puig or ZG, they will come with no holes too. but the ones we get here are dubble bubble made for stock fairings. but they will fit fine for race fairings.

 

HOTBODIES were condemned for r6 06 race fairings, international r6 forum. duno why

[wait4me]

how abt yoshi??

was thinking of a yoshi...

 

 

 

 

and is it advisable to put damper?

heard tat the power kicks in after 10k RPM....dunno whether true or not.

yesh... power band is somewhere ard 10~16.5k. But the fun part is prob somewhere ard 12k actually. Try it with the older gen 600s, sure kanah chieh 1 piece 1 piece. Once it hits its pwer band.. see how it gains on its opponent.

For every different bike, there is only one power commander 3usb for that model. Different model of bike use different. Which mean , a 02/03 R1 PC3 cant be use for a 04/05/06 R1. and if you got a PC3usb that is not your bike model, you cant even install it. As the plug to the injector is different.

There use to have PC and PC2 and PC3. But now there is only PC3usb for newer bike. PC3usb is just like a improve version of PC, PC2 , PC3. And now dynojet is only offering the PC3usb. No more PC,PC2,PC3.

The usb thing is just that you PC is using the usb port to transfer and recieve data from the dynojet machine.

Anybody in SG knows how to use TuneBoy?

 

Some say its better than PC3.

humm

 

is it expensive to put damper??

 

whats the difference betweemn the exhaust pipe like yoshi, micron etc etc ?

i juz got a bitubo damper... the prices of the dampers are all almost the same juz that ohlins are slightly more expensive...

 

i chose bitubo cos of the after service provided... i know wherthe distributor is so i know wher to go if its faulty and they have the equipments to fix it. the peeps there are friendly too....

 

yoshi ,micron akra etc... are juz to ur personal preference. i cant decide for u on which brand to go for cos i also have not made up my mind.

what's the fuel consumption for R6?

 

if it's rated at 210km when reached reserve, what does it show? Running at lean?

But a tankslap on 200km/hr, a damper will come in handy.

guys last track day, i complained that the r6 brakes wasnt braking properly. was like braking 50m ahead of every turn. it never occur to me that there is something wrong with the braking system till fat di spotted the brake disk turning purplish blue. i was thinking suspension setting gone wrong.

 

i was still using the stock brake pads. when i removed the brake pads to check yesterday, it was shiny blue tint surface. very smooth. i checked on r6-forum.com and they mentioned the stock brake pads wont be able to take the heat torture on track. so, the brake pads went through a heat treatment.

 

so guys, all track junkies here, have ur pads changed to HH rated. or end up like very slow last track day.

Yah... i remembered you complaining about your brakes!

If rotors turns purple... that means it's 'cook'?

Do you need to change the rotors too?

If i'm a slow rider on track... you think i need to change the pads too?
