[Group] SBF Yamaha Nouvo

[bigcow]

so im guessing japan one is more ex?

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

 

japan quality is totally different & much better. the thai ones have very little wires in the tire. thus making the tire to fold when doing sharp and low corners.

[bigcow]

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.

 

who needs size 60/80-16?

btw, stock front size is 70/90-16 & rear size is 80/90-16.

[bigcow]

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

5. speed?

nuovo is 1,2,3,6 i believe.. dunno wat the other riders tink..

[rollabyka]

a standard nuovo comparing to a standard x1r has everything except top speed. but it wins in accelaration. but x1r doesn't have that plenty space under the seat that nuvo has. and its auto against manual.

 

depends on wat romi_ku's riding style and preference.

[rollabyka]

anyways, can u guys tell me wat eo u use for ur nuovo?

 

my eo using yamalube. dunno wat rating. i just get the cheapest. cos i change it every month.

Nouvo FC sucks big time lo, my spark with carb changed & perfectly tuned, top speed at 150+km/hr & FC at 42km per liter.

My nouvo variator mod a little, but pick up will forever lose to my spark.

Wat is the FC of yr Nuovo bro? Me interested in getting one is the price is right.

every rider's opinion of FC is different bro.. some ppl say nuovo FC sucks, but some say it good.. up to u to decide.. for me personally, its ard 40km/l cuz i got use a fuel catalyzer but everything else is stock... also, i use for dispatch, so my mileage very easy to keep track..

FC also depends on how u ride and if u got mod the engine.. if u whack throttle everytime u ride confirm FC will be lower... but then again.. nuovo u whack throttle also no point.. top speed 120 only .. i managed to get 125km/hr but that one also got steep slope.. haha

used to be 28km/liter. now 31km/liter after modding the variator. but i've got a 46 liter rear box on.

[bigcow]

i've just went down to Wing Yap yesterday. they using Dunlop TT900 80/90-16 (FOR FRONT WHEEL USE ONLY) for both our front & rear tires.

our actual size for front is 70/90-16 & rear is 80/90-16.

and they told me that tire, they selling for $90+. when i told him u said change tire, including tow & change spark plugs, abt 70.. after begging for discount, he said, cannot be la... that fellow must have lied to u. he laugh & also said, abt $70, he still got to top up to cover. so wat is wat? weird leh.... why not u bring me down to verify?

i would really love to take a look at your tires. let me know when u going down. call or sms me. i do know the Dunlop TT900 (Made In Thailand) prices whether i'm in Singapore, Malaysia or Thailand. this is already my 16th bike. I've also riden X1 & Spark LC135 before. and from wat i know, Thailand Dunlop dun make 16" tires for Nouvo. so they normally use IRC or Duro. Cheers.
