sportsbikes have the definite advantage of stability at high speeds becos of the fairing. as long as u have to ride upright and take the blast of the wind, u r ruining the stability.. heavy doesn't mean good lah..

 

Machiam u drop ur naked bike, then have nothing to repair lidat. sometimes ur fairing can save some damage from ur engine too, if u r unlucky enough to kena the engine area.

 

Now with these arguements, which do u think is better?

Bro, u're barking up the wrong tree lah.....

 

All I did was to relate the time when I was considering between the Pulsar and CBR150. But u make it sound as tho I was writing a bike review to compare sportsbikes with naked bikes. Pls lah, I'm just a newbie who got his 2B licence only 2 days ago.

 

For u to ask me which bike is better is quite silly lor cos they're 2 different types of bikes (and dun forget we're talking abt CBR150 here, not sportsbikes in general). But since u asked, let me put it this way: A forum member advised me against getting 2B sportsbikes (not worth it, he said) and recommended naked bikes instead such as RXZ or Pulsar before upgrading to S4. And he rides a Hayabusa himself!

 

At the end of the day, I chose the Pulsar over the CBR150 not because the Pulsar is better. It's because of the features of the Pulsar that I would rather have at the expense of certain features of the CBR150 (e.g. low fuel consumption at the expense of speed). After all, a bike for transport is what I'm looking for.

 

Cheers

failed my 6.01 again

think got problem with my dropping of gear.. shd i release a little bit clutch when perform dropping gear whenever i stop the bike, always thought that i've kick down to 1st gear but when i start to throttle again, then realise i'm still at 2nd or 3rd gear engine never stall but will have irriating sound when moving off.. then instructor will come and tell me that i'm at wrong gear..

 

and can anyone tell me when shd i kick up to 4th & 5th gear when riding..

yup, should release clutch to biting pt, then clutch in again to kick down. sometimes the gear got problem and thats the method to rectify it.

 

as for gears 4 and 5. my method to know what gear to use is 40kmh(gear4), 50kmh(gear5). 40 means 4th gear, 50 means 5th gear. no problems with that. but as long as you're on the road, use up to the maximum gear

[EeYoRe_159]

yesterday I was late for lesson, so unable to chat with u

anyway Congrat to MonoWorld on passing his 7.01 yesterday..

same goes to Kitty23 on passing her 3.01 too..

 

MonoWorld: All the best to your 8.01, on which day huh..

Kitty23: All the best to your 3.02 too..

 

:goodluck:

[nebulaz]

just release ur clutch lever abit more and pulled it back (fanning motion) together when you have difficulties in dropping or engaging gears, my 2 cents

Thanks for all the info.. but hor can I ask somemore question..

 

when turning left or right turn.. must I use 1st or 2nd gear.. bike still moving..

wah i so long never post liao haha...

 

for me it depends mainly on the speed at which your bike is still moving (and also, how sharp the turn is)...usually, i will turn at 2nd (or 3rd, if its just a gradual turn and i'm moving relatively fast) gear...

 

if you're talking about those like 90 deg turns eg from major road to minor road esp in circuit, then 1st gear if your bike is almost coming to a stop but usually 2nd gear if just slow down abit...

 

on the road, very very seldom use 1st gear for turning...but that's all dependent on your speed...

 

hope it helps!

[MonoWorld]

mabel, my 8.01 will be on friday session 7. SP at session 6.

gd luck to ur 6.01

and make sure u pass, and sure can pass de

 

for the kicking down gear b4 stopping, let's say i m at gear 5, i kick down to gear 4, den let go clutch for engine brake. den kick down to gear 3 den let go of the clutch again. den if the speed is not too fast liao, i just use front and rear brakes to come to a stop. b4 stop, i always kick a lot until cannot kick (gear 1). if i wanna stop fast, i just kick 2 gears down for more effective engine brake.

 

for the appropriate gear at turning, i always kick down to gear 2 b4 the turning but like thelittlepenguin said, it all depends on speed, conditions and how fast u wanna turn.

 

gd luck!
