[zniper]

eh, yoshi is quite durable thou... been wanting to change to yoshi racing kata from my current racing boy but no $$$ lor... yoshi is worth the price u pay for it man...

[nobitaamon]

oh.. actually am not very used to it, cause it makes my rear brake more inefficient. so thinking of changing it to another type.if u interested i can sell u cheap, just change to yoshi not more then 2 weeks ago only.

I know the braking power = crap.

 

But is there anyway i can improve the braking power? I believe its possible.

Anybody done it before?

[inrsoul]

Change the pump? I don't know, but mine is ok...

 

Mechanic says that hose too long (for rear brake) will affect effectiveness of brakes. i.e. slower response.

[Axxis]

Basically the difference is in the leverage of the yoshi compared to the standard. Just take a look at the moment arm that applies pressure to the master cylinder. Not much you can do about that. Anyway, it's better to upgrade your front brakes to an aprilia disk and pump and don't use the back brake too much.

[nobitaamon]

think its 15 ringgit, around there ba.. just pay for the bracket can liao. finally solve it, haa... damn happy. ask so many shop no one manage to solve it, think this jb ah boy quite zai..

[Pizzaboy]

SOMEBODY PLS CLARIFY THE EXAXT LOCATION OF JB AH BOY?Is the shop located here as mention below...

 

{Once you enter JB thru Wdls checkpoint, you make a u-turn and go toward JB City Square, until you see a Shell Station at the end of the main road. There are 4 lanes after that (I think).

 

The rightmost lane takes you all the way towards Pasir Gudang and the old GIANT hypermarket.

 

The second lane from the right, will take you u-turn back to Singapore.

 

The THIRD LANE FROM THE RIGHT (second lane from the left) is where you are headed. It's a mini-expressway, with motordiams on the left of the expressway, and passing under several flyovers.

 

JB Ah-boy is about 4-7km from checkpoint (estimate). The real name of the shop (in a LARGE green-and-white sign) is JOHORE CREDIT ENTERPRISE.

 

The shop is facing the road, so you can't miss it. It is after a slight left bend in the road, so you could exceed the entrance, but never mind, can go into the side lane from an exit further upfront}.

 

 

So is JB ah boy as mention above or izzit the one b4 BP petrol kiosk shop name call GUO HUI ENTERPRISE??I heard many version of location of this JB ah boy so wich is the real shop????

[Guest clef]

i believe jb ah boy = guo hui = before BP petrol station...

[eFzek17]

so u mean now the brake is efficient? wah then can go fix liao..

[nobitaamon]

yupyup, at least back to 80 - 90 % of original.

[akront]

Hello wavers,

I found another product, quality equivalent if not better than POP footrest. It is manufactured using aluminium grade close to 6061. It also comes with a patented real drum lever pointing upwards.

bro can u take picture of it?? issit the posh thingy which was placed at the end of the brake bar, where u can tighten n loosen it?

[akront]

A better picture of the lever......

[nobitaamon]

oh ok sure i will upload a pic of it. anyway its something like what Akront has shown in his pic, except that his is a bit crave wherelse mine the brand is Posh and its straight. think its able to solve the problem cause the level is longer then the original by about 1 times and therefore greater axis.

[eFzek17]

oh i also fix that one. but if got pillion also no effect one..
