Thanks.

[demo]

Tks bro,

 

I used to ride a Phantom followed by X9, this is definately a bad experience for me. On the day that i collect my bike, i realise that the speedometer wasn't working, got to make a u-turn and asked them to fix it. Thereafter, i discovered that the IU is not working. After some bargaining, they willing to change a used one for me but got to wait. After getting the bike than they told they only garantee.. the engine.

 

Sigh..

 

The vibration is bearable but it is the disappointment that bother me. Look that after fixinng the IU, i will switch to Toh Guan.

 

Once again tks for the input.

woah, is there a 200cc engine for daystar?

[demo]

Bro, on the rack Daystar only comes in 125cc (old model) and 150cc (new model). However, if you are willing to spend around $600, they can modify it. Not sure if it would performce well cos have not heard of anyone doing it. To me, its kinda expensive also. Cheers..

Hi demo,

 

A warm welcome to the forum! Judging from your experience, it is very unlikely for a motorbike of 125cc to produce heavy vibration at the mentioned traveling speed that would cause numbness to rider upper limb and I am pretty sure most motorbike enthusiast would concur with my saying.

 

My opinion.

 

a) Incorrect installation of side or rear box.

b) An unbalanced wheel.

c) Faulty transmission or drive shaft.

d) Crankshaft balancing.

 

As much as the shop would like to persuade you in big boring your engine, I would advise you to give Kaki Bukit CKA a visit and look for Roy, a reliable mechanic in my opinion over the period my owning of the Daystar.

 

In regards to big bore, someone did a similar in 2003 with his Daystar 125 to 150cc and managed to achieve a better performance without much affection on fuel consumption. However, it is undeniable facts that big bored engine would constitute a quicker wear and tear effect or rather engine parts would worn out at a higher and faster rate.

hmm but in e first place from 125 to 150, did he mean modifying ur current engine? or changing a new 150cc engine into ur current chassis? n is the mod or change certified? i.e comes w approval cert or smth from lta? ha..

[demo]

Bro Nights, thanks for advice. Would find time to look to Roy and seek his help to rectified my problem. Have not done up my bike with any box yet cos was rather disturbed by the vibration. Once again thanks.

 

Bro Maniahk, I think they only mod the engine and not change the whole engine. I doubt it is legal. Personally, I don't think I want to mod it cos if the machine is not meant to operate at the level, by modifying it might shorten its lifespan and result in other problem.

Bro Nights,

You are spot on. the problem is due to the shaft, on top that the exhaust also got problem. Hm... finally i got toenjot the ride of a Daystar. Once again tks.

 

 

By the way, anyone has any recommendation suitable side box for Daystar? Would be good if it can fit in one helemt. I dun mind saddle bag also, as long as it looks good and can fit one helmet.

[nights]

Glad you solved your problem!

 

If you are thinking of putting a full-fledged helmet, don’t think it is suitable to have a huge side box as first; it can cause some difficulties if you like to squeeze thru traffic and second, it may cause some balancing issue when you ride but, this is really individual. Go for the Givi E33 if this is what you want.

 

However, if it is about half-cap, you could consider Givi E21 side pannier or any saddlebag that may fit in a half-cap but beware that these saddlebag are usually not lockable.

 

Anyway, looks wise, cruiser always goes best with saddlebag in my opinion.

 

[demo]

Bro Nights, Thanks. Will look around.

You may consider Givi E21 for storing your rain gear or half-cap. Any bigger size pannier would definitely be a consideration for balancing of the likes and if you tends to squeeze between cars during a traffic jam. Otherwise, rear box maybe the only reasonable option for storing your helmet, you may opt to install the original Daelim Daystar rear box pillion board steel bracket available at Choong Kok.

am i too late to hijack this post? haha..anw, seriously cn juz change d engine to 150cc at $400????..tht dae i went down to CKA kaki bukit, they offer to trade d whole bike wit my 125cc.they did nt name d price(they claim it wld b good price),bt i tink d idea itself is alil extreme personally 4 me coz i noe d price will surely b sky high..

 

anw, cn any1 recommend me a shop tht offers a good price to re-paint bike (east side preferably)..mayb sum of u hv done it b4.? take into account that i only plan to repaint my bike to plain matt black..not multicoloured nor personalised designs..roughly how much do i hv to pay fo d job? i only want a chopper bt never want to get CHOPPED.haa

 

lastly,for d sound..how to increase d volume? i mean apart frm changing d pipes..some cub bikes nowadaes reli hv those roaring kruzer sound tht don reli match their bike sia..

[nights]

My guess is Choong Kok is trying to phase out the 125cc version from the local market.

 

You could enquire with the following shops for price quotation.

As for your question on a louder pipes sound, you may seek advice with Roy from Choong Kok Kaki Bukit branch.

[Kan]

haha no problem bro, let me know if you can afford close to that, probably I reduce my price to match yours =)
