wat too colourful... i like united colours of bennetton leh....

Then u call boy boy to make you a rainbow colour one lor... every colour also have. HAHAHA....

 

 

advise on this again? they can read about the bike from page 1 to current... think we can sit back n relax n let the newbies answer the future newbies... cos they get to know the latest price.

Do you think they will go read from the bloody first page meh...? Even i myself also never read all leh.

Bro Levin, thanks for the info....i going 2 fix the remote start alarm...i got the alarm already but don noe where shop that can install it...any Recommendation??

 

Bro just to wanna share with u that it is not recommended to do the "remote start" cause i heard it can spoilt ur ECU or what easily as told by the Taihin Boss... I myself intend to fix it but later cancel because of the advised given..

 

Anyway I'm selling my 2 way steelmate alarm with the stock packaging with box and manual plus receipt to the highest offer... Still in good condition...Anyone?

Ok, those looking for a replacement mid-section of the exhaust pipe with cat removed:

Bro how can it fix to our stock pipe? I thought ours no breaking point.... Btw hav u ever come across full system?

For those who wanna know how to define the viscosity of the oil... read here...

 

 

 

or just click here to read on maxima products n about engine oil...

 

Q) Engine Oil Viscosity, what should I use for my bike? What should I expect?

 

A little background info on how to read engine oil visc

Typical engine oil specs are represented by xxWyy. xx represents the viscosity of the oil measure at very low temperature, and yy represents the the viscosity measured at 100 degree celcius. The xxW rating is obviously redundant in sunny Singapore, meant for countries which experience freezing temperatures. In Singapore, 0W to 20W are commonly found and are acceptable for all makes (see your manual).

 

Pay attention to the second number, eg. in 15W50, 50 is the number that will determine how the bike will feel, sound and its temperature This second indicator of viscosity is measured at 100 deg C. This is because oils, being polymers, thins out considerably with heat. 100 deg C is a convenient temperature to gauge the oil because it is closer to the engine internal operating temp. A 50 grade oil will be thicker than a 40 grade oil, the smaller the number the thinner it is.

 

But wait! That's only the tip of the iceberg. Brand A oil (15W50) may not be the same thickness as Brand B oil (also a 15W50). Why? This is because '50' is a pretty large range of thickness. This is why some 'racing oils' rated at '50' feels really revvy and noiser than a regular '50'

To help your selection of your prefered thickness of Maxima four stroke engine oils the relative thickness of Maxima Oils are presented:

 

Thin 40 SAE---Extra 10W40, Ultra 5W40

Thin 50 SAE---Ultra 5W50

Regular 50 SAE---Extra 15W50

 

Take note that the _W grade does not affect how 'thick' the oil feels once warmed up. This comparison is taken at 100C, close to engine operating conditions.

 

In general:

Choose a thicker oil if you rank engine and gear shift quietness as the top of your piority.

Choose a thinner oil if you rank responsiveness and cooler engine as the top of your priority.

 

Is thicker better all the time?

 

The 60 weight is too thick for most applications except some low rpm big bore singles or twins or for engines that specifically call for such grades.

 

Bike 4T requirements involves catering for the gears and the engine. While the 60 will offer good protection and durability for the gears, the effect is not necessarily so for the engine main bearings, crank and piston pin bearings. This is especially so for high rpm engines. enHANZed is right, the thinner oil cools better and that is a major function of engine oil, but it also compromises on the gearbox a little. That's where the antiwear additives must take over.

 

All the journal bearings (plain bearings) are separated from the spinning shaft (main crank, cam shaft eg) using hydrodynamic priciples. The effect is further enhanzed by the relative movement of the 2 surfaces (shearing action) that compresses the oil. A thin oil may not have that much static film strength as a thicker oil, but it can take much more pressure at high rpm. But the shearing action generates heat, which is never good.

 

There must be sufficient flow to cool down these journals. Now the oil pump, being a positive displacement pump (like the engine cylinder itself), will give a proportionate flow rate to engine rpm, so there should be no problem right? But this also means it will hydrolock if too thick an oil is use (cold winter morning), hence a pressure relief is built in to bleed off pressure and oil flow, meaning reduced flow to where it should be protecting.

 

So imagine using an overly thick oil at high rpm. You get excessive pressure in the system from pumping the thick viscosity and lots of heat from the journals. Sufficient flow isn't getting to the bearings to cool things down. Either the oil temp continue to rise until an equilibrium is reached where the oil is thin or the engine spins a bearing and self destruct.

 

The Jap inline 4 typically built for 30 to 40wt. 50 is acceptable and popular for bikes because of the gearbox. Maxima Extra 15w50 (17.42 cst) is only 21% thicker than a medium 40 and is a popular choice for compromise between durability in our hot weather and yet meeting the cooling requirements of the engine.

Bro how can it fix to our stock pipe... I thought ours no breaking point? Btw ever come across full system?

Bro, want to sell off your bike izzit?

[vendeta]

hi guys, i plan on getting a gsr400 for my 2A =) can you guys tell me more, example how much does it cost for a first hand gsr400 or even 2nd hand? how about the insurance? i am 19 this year, i know is going to be v.expensive=)

[skateboy]

wah... u hard core loyal GSR club member ah? all day long wear GSR club polo...

[devil-suzy]

hey guys...

 

im selling my jacket...

juz bought it...

wore it only ONCE...

 

its IZ-2, blue and black wif a little bit of silver...

its those riding jacket wif paddings on shoulders n elbow kind...

XL size, but ppl slightly bigger n much bigger den me confirm no problem wif it...

good for ppl who intend to go touring or long journey...

 

i wanna sell it for $100 if possible... (pretty cheap for such a riding jacket...)

need some cash urgently...

n giving u all piority so ask u all 1st b4 i post in e garang column...

do consider again.. its not that we want to demoralise you... i bought my GSR when i am at the age of 20.. insurance wise 2nd party is more than 1k already... i have been eyeing this machine since the day i pass my 2B and rode my kips.. and i started saving from there on... if i havent been saving for more than a year, this machine will be impossible for me to own.. maintenance wise and petrol can drown you... not saying you dont have the ability to own, but think twice..

well, u can post in garage sales, then refer us to the link, interested then we get from u lor... if not, others may get from u if they r interested. but u got a pic is better when u wanna post on garage sales.

u order that jacket from where???

cancel order lah...

buy from me ma..

 

my FF is THH...

cheap one lah...

[skateboy]

then u must prepare name card so that u c a new rider, u just pass them ur card can already.

 

 

u intend to buy which brand of full face helmet?

thursday night meet with fellow SBF

z^^kia and ah gui also there

had fun but cant stay long

[royston15]

wah... another one... i think i b the devil... BUY BUY BUY!!! DUN THINK ALREADY!!

 

haaa.. oks lah... actually arh.. i shall edit to i think if you like the bike you just buy... dont think so much already.. if too ex, then pay 5 yrs lah... or see can drag how many years.. die die must ride this beautiful monster... just chiong only..

the club lonly riders' outing ah... seems like alot of people... n ahgui is joining alot of groups here n there...
