Also need to replace brake fluid. Good to do when your brake fluid is due for change.

 

Imo, steel hose is good for hard braking but not necessarily improve everyday normal braking.

wow, read lots of the review getting high 30s (km/l) for fuel consumption. very impressive. i just manage to get 32-33 km/l. maybe cos i'm heavy, i dunno.

 

changed tyres to dunlop tt900 at HKL few weeks ago. very happy with the tyres but not so on the service. anyway, surprisingly, the bike has a very good ground clearance. havent heard anything scrapping the ground yet.

 

anyone replaced front forks or rear shocks to aftermarket ones yet?

 

bro seoulnow, your manual for delivery offer still up?

[Uncle]

If somebody takes your keys and know your bike, your bike will be gone already and not just twiddling with it.

 

On the otherhand, they may return to you

 

Is there such a thing as change the inition lock?

the bike is still around... last night

i'm gonna go check again, then i'm going back home to get the spare keys

 

problem with duplicating the key is that it doesn't have that piece where u use to open the ignition cover. that's why i was asking if yamaha provides that.

 

i was wondering how much it'll cost to change the lock

I think one of the key difference in fuel consumption is how you ride. Earlier I was hitting 100kmh everytime, hard acceleration from red light and hard braking. Recently I throttle down due to near accident and find that the tank lasts longer. Somemore this cub accepts 92 octane and is really easy on the pockets the best is to stay below 80kmh as it's not so noisy, not so windy, easy on fuel, safe and have time to look around the surrounding.

 

Do you balance the wheels? Was wondering how they do it on the rear wheel as lots of mechanisms there.

im taking out my nuovo this friday!! woohoo!

[Uncle]

Why need to change the shocks? The stock shocks feel alright.

no probs bro - pm me ur addy and i'll send by snail mail. you will need to transfer 35cts to me frirst though

[rollabyka]

Uncle, the shocks a bit soft for me. i'm a bit on the heavier side. so, it tends to bounce up and down when i hit bumps. And for wet weather tyres, i'd recommend dunlop TT900. Unique should have then and IMO they have good customer service, maybe a bit cheaper also.

[Uncle]

ic, looks like they tune the stocks shocks for half the max loading (160kg) as they worked pretty well for me

 

Thanks, will check out the shop as it's wet roads again.

[seoulnow]

mr. rollabyka - got ur addy, will send out this weekend. just drop some money in the donation box at any cashier counter the next time you buy something

[rollabyka]

wow, you're an angel. i wanna say 'i love you' but i dunno you and people might think otherwise. haha. but yeah, thank you man, appreciate it a lot.

[williamleesg]

ever got shop owner told me the stock shocks is enough but i juz feel like changing to make it look nicer..lol..

anyway,think if u got more budget,can try get bridgestone battlax,although more ex but think it's good.. i still waiting for my stock tyres to wear off..

[alifk69]

anyone knows whr to get coverset for nuovo?

[williamleesg]

what is coverset?

[rollabyka]

i think he meant the fairings.

[Uncle]

This bike already have fairings

 

If you mean the rain / sun cover, I have a new unused one for this bike. Name me a reasonable price

[williamleesg]

oh..fairings..did ask before,shop says need to order but not confirm will have stock..

[seoulnow]

what fairings u all talkign about:confused:

[alifk69]

im looking for those fairings that already has designs on them.. like fiat for example..

btw anyone can recommend any performance parts for the nuovo? im thinking of changing hel brake hose and larger brake disc..

[williamleesg]

if u interested to realli change ur braking,can look for ET (someone from the forum),he is selling brembo master pump,can be fitted on cubs..

[fonghc]
