small bikes usually show higher speed on the speedo than big bikes. My friend Super 4 showed 110kmh when my wave shows 145kmh. Another factor is also the change in front sprocket size that affects the speedo accuracy.

I guess most ppl who r riding wave or smaller bikes should know more or less that the small bike's speedo is inaccurate. And also....not only by changing the front sprocket size will affect the speedo......even the rear 1 also will affect.

 

And also....... ur fren's S4's speedo was 110km/h when u reached 145km/h? Hmm.......i ask me fren to ride my S4 to follow my wave be4 also, but wave 120km/hr=S4 100km/hr. So means u only get 10km/hr more top end after changing the carb.......which in turn cost u more petrol consumption?

 

Moral of the story............is the 10km/hr extra top end, worth the extra fuel consumption? Everyone think for urself.

Well said!!n well calculated!! Anyway, some ppl juz have this idea that their waves are very fast becos the speedometer can go higher den normal wave. That's very normal becos all of us rely on the speedometer as a gauge for our speed.

 

For eg: When 2 waves (1 modded and the other din) are to ride side by side, 1 wave shows the speed at 110km/hr and this wave can "lambong" another wave goin at 130km/hr. Dat modded wave will be very disappointed but he realised that this increase in speedo is jus a hoax.

 

Juz like when someone is carrying the imitation LV bag, it's hard to judge whether that is a genuine one. But when a genuine one and a imitation is placed side by side, u can easily detect it.

 

Gers tok...hahahahaa.

i guess its all individual preference to mod or not to mod. afterall wave accessories are so cheap, especially if u get them direct from thailand. fuel consumption is also so economical, hence still can afford to mod a bit here and there.

Wah so happy ! Just got my wave today. It's a Blue wave ! Which engine oil is recomended for Wave? The shop say this one new bike after 800km must change engine oil already. Is it True?

i'm using shell advance racing 4t, $21 dollars plus i think, i buy this one cos i happen to drag a lot plus i often make my bike go 100km/h, so must let the bike at " Good " stuff.. trying out Castrol R4 at next oil change, see better or worst than shell...

cause it's new bike...

supposed to do a run in for the engine...

try not to zhua the bike too much during 1st 1000km bah...

after 1st 800 or 1000km go for oil change...

change to either semi-synthetic or fully synthetic engine oil (better grade type)instead...

as only mineral oil is normally used for running-in process

im currently using the castrol activ-x

bought for $5.50 nia

regretted...intended to get a fully synthetic oil initially....

but dint read the label behind properly

it says 'engine oil with synthetic particles'

so i doubt activ-x is a fully syn oil lor

cause semi-syn also can have syn particles what...not necessary fully syn

going for another oil change soon

hmz...so far no complaints frm my pillions

perhaps vibrations on moving vehicles are normal bah

and there's nothing much on the left hand side which can vibrate leh...

the chain???

U mean Castrol Activ 4T(20W-50) NO GOOD is it? What I know Castrol Activ 4T is synthetic-base. Not Fully synthetic. So How does it perform on your wave don?

[RxzDelux]

The front basket for wave is ILLEGAL is it? I heard some of my frends say it's illegal? Anyone here knows or Stopped by TP b4 for haveing the front basket?
