i find the stock seat very nice already so not intending to change it.. i like the stock one,haha..

[alifk69]

yup.. now that you mentioned it, our stock seat is already very nice..

[bigcow]

i already changed the tires at wing yap.. dunlop.. but i only change the rear tyre..

 

Dunlop TT900? if it is, pls check if yours is made in Japan & if got state 'FOR FRONT WHEEL USE ONLY'? why never change your front?

[bigcow]

28-31 is a vast difference from 40-41 region.

and may i know the price of it when u first bought it?

 

i bought 2nd hand 6 months old for 3k+. brand new is 5k. my friend just bought his last month.

[williamleesg]

hi bros!

 

My bike has been having this high rev sounding problem ever since i changed the piston a few months back.

 

i've changed e belt, auto clutch, ball bearings.

EO changed religiously.

 

it no longer starts off fast and tends to have a pull back feeling at 80km/hr.

 

Help?

never change front cuz only rear tyre puntured.. front tyres still good, only used for less than 2 mths..

I've 2 questions,

1. Then did u check whether they have Dunlop TT900 70/90-16 for your front?
   
2. And the rear tire you're using now, does it state (FOR FRONT WHEEL USE ONLY)?

1. when changing my rear tyres 2 days ago, nope, cuz i asked them 2 weeks ago and they said they have. also uncle keong (the mechanic) asked me if i wanna change the front too.. so i assume they have stocks for it.

 

2. no it doesnt.. it states DUNLOP in huge letters.. the rest are the normal cr@p you find on tyres..

 

haiyah.. so many qtns.. u dont believe go to wing yap and ask them lah.. i realize that the shops here wont entertain PM and posts.. at most they will reply "call so-an-so and he will give you more details"

[rollabyka]

not a good idea to change to 17 inches for auto bikes.. there will be lesser manouverability and lesser power..

 

 

thats why i wanna convert to 17inch rims actually. its too nimble for my personal liking. power wise, i think i'll prolly lose a bit of pickup and gain a bit of top speed. i think i can live with that. anybody here did the conversion before? i just wanna know how much it'll cost me.

oic.. but i dunno if the top speed got affected.. nuovo has already has a low top speed..

my guess is abt 200-250 total, for the rims and tyres.. but depends on wat kind of tyres u getting.. thats wat i paid for when i changed my x1 rims + tyres.. racingboy 17inch...

wow....thats quite a bit. thanks for the info bro. at least its cheaper than changing it to sports rim which costs $380.

[rizaldinho]

was over at wingyap today, and they only bring in the sport rim types. any idea if bike production still have those with spokes?

i tink the distributor wanna makan you liao.. haha

[alifk69]

but do notice, theres a difference actually.

one is made in japan, and one is made in thailand.

not sure if the japan ones has the 60/80 though.

[alifk69]

so im guessing japan one is more ex?

maybe its cuz shipping + transportation is more? or better quality?

[Romi_ku]

do the rollers for this bike need to replace every 20km? looks nice.. im torn in between this nouvo and x1r.

sad to say the distributors are my friends. and i suspect your tire to be made in thailand. otherwise i know where they get these cheap tires from le.
