[Group] SBF WaveRider

[Blahhh]

I noticed most riders here own two bikes and/or been riding for a few years already. Most lao jiao oready. Haven't seen any new bird lately, guess this bike isn't popular with the newbs as compared with spark135/x1r?

i think its becoz sparks/ x1r looks more race orientated than wave.. and not forgetting the 7time world champion is not riding honda anymore. i seriously wonder what singapore's cub market would be like if rossi joins ducati or smth...

dun count in the baby and teenager championship laaaaa..... anyway i'm rooting for nicky hayden! cant wait for e show to start....

 

btw i dun like lorenzo as much as rossi does... yes yes, keep all ur secrets to urself rossi... hahaha, dun share info!! i really like ducati's style, when nicky's 1st bike didnt quite work well, casey's guys went over to prep nicky's 2nd bike.... dats wat i seriously call team effort!!!! and they share information w all the ducs brand as well, veri family feeling... makes me wanna get a duc myself!!

[kickarse]

ya i think hayden will do well this season. just look at the way he rode in Qatar. almost making it to the podium. But also must keep a look out for Ben Spies. He's a Superbike Champion afterall.

my prediction this season

1st: Lorenzo

2nd: Pedrosa

3rd: Rossi

 

Come on Jorge!!

[NightPhantom]

at the end i was hoping that lorezo overtake pedrosa.... which he did... but after looking at the world standing... i wish he didnt.... exciting race i would say...

[kickarse]

yeah! well done lorenzo. and hayden too. hayden getting more comfy with ducs now.. twice 4th will be in the podium soon i guess. moto2 also not bad lehh. the last few laps very nice esp when tires start to slide...

Hi all,

 

I am a new rider I just got my wave about a month back.

 

What is the recommended tire pressure for wave? I am running Front 70/90 Rear 90/80. Do you guys pump according to the recommended pressure on the tire side walls?

 

And this bike EO can last for how long?

 

Thanks in advance.

just follow the indicated pressure .... eo depends on what type u use, mineral oil 2k km, semi syn i think 3k km... fully syn 5k km....

 

however, our bike no oil filter, so i usually change more often... i use semi syn oil...

ya, i really liked 300v... den i swtich to castrol once i dun really like it.. den i change now to amsoil which i feel its okay also... but i really really like 300v... just tat its on a pricer side...

 

e following info is from mike aka Uber store in sbf...

 

Engine oil are made up two component.

 

1)Base Stock

2)Addicitives

 

Base stock determines the majority of the oil characteristics and performance. It also determines if the oil is true Synthetic.

 

Basically Base Stock comes from 5 Category

 

Group 1, 2 - Dino Oil/Mineral Oil.

They are never 100% purified due to cost, hence addictives are added in to provide ample protection, however they are never friendly with heat, heat is always the no.1 Killer for Engine. Oil from these group never sufficient to protect against the no.1 killer.

 

Group 3 - Marketed as Synthetic Oil, basically they are fake synthetic oil in my context. They use Mineral Oil, modify in the lab just so that they perform like a true synthetic oil. usually Group 3 "synthetic oil" are cheaper. But then again, due to market forces, some oil players charge exorbident price for it.

 

Example of such oil using group 3 base stock, Castrol, Shell etc etc.

 

The true Real synthetic oil uses

 

Group 4 - PAO

 

Group 5 - Ester

 

Oil using the above mention base stock are usually more pricey. They provide very very good protection against heat and many other damges.

 

What differs among these group 4 and group 5 oil are actually their base stock and clutch addictives and most importantly, how they combat acidic build up in the tranny

 

**engine operating under our tropical climate, produces lots of condensation, thru heat cycle acidic foam forms and can be detrimental.***

 

Example of Group 4 and 5 oil

Amsoil

Redline

Motul

 

That is some informative write-up!

 

Ahhhh.... the more I should go for Motul. Just an update on my FC... after pumping Caltex95, my FC is now better than before. I can clock 42km/L, used to be 37-39km/L avg.

This current tank fully on Caltex95 (previous tank Caltex95 mixed with Esso95) seems to be even better.

Yeah i removed mine before. NOT GOOD DON'T TRY. I don't recommend if you are gonna take out the whole airbox and leave your stock carb bare. The response was like crap and it destroyed my engine. Do note that the carb is faced forward and that means dirt, sand and **** will get into yr carb with ease. All you gonna get is a deep engine sound after that and maybe an engine overhaul.

 

I also tried taking out the filter element and leaving the air box empty. That was much better except that its not so easy to get the proper air/fuel mixture so sometimes the bike will die on idle. This will also give you a deep engine sound.

 

Tried using a K&N open port filter (the cone shaped one) and the response was impressive. But then again wave's stock carb is decently small so you wont really get a better top speed. The most you'll feel is a slightly better acceleration. But the downside is that you can't travel during rainy days as water will get into your open filter and carb.

 

But after studying a little bit about engines, i came to conclude that whatever it is a form of air filtration should be present at all times. It protects your engine from small particles that gets sucked in. The small particles are the culprits for destroying your engine in the end.

 

Ultimately my advice is, leave your air filters stock! hahaha. Its still the best if you wanna save fuel and maintenance cost on your trusty Wave

 

Good FR u got there. Thanks, man!

I intend to try using the original air filter with the paper filter element removed, just the metal plate and wire mesh and see how it can perform.
