It's just a short distance in KPE only leh... FF saves lifes, just like seat belts.

 

Yes, the funny couple with 2 persons wearing FF riding a red wave will be us. Keep a lookout and honk me if u see me.

lol okies... thanks for the explanation on the clicking sound...

 

so SAD! i just reached home.. and half way while riding... my gear lever dono why have to step so much then will kick into another gear... i found that the lever was totally loose alrdy.. but cant seem to fix it back lei... wonder if it will drop out tml when i ride to work???

 

how much to change the whole lever set? stock one i want lolz

 

and also i checked with the boss of akunar about the discounts for the shocks here's the reply:

 

Hey,

 

Tried, no big discounts though but still a discount none the less. Your looking at $72.50 per fork set if interested. To get 5 to Singapore would be a further $89.78 USD EMS or $68.11 USD for typical Airmail

 

Kind Regards

[Sorrie4u]

Actually not all inverted forks work the same as factory inverted forks. Look at Honda, 90% of their bikes are not inverted forks.

[MUSHA]

Just to share something...

 

Enquired the Kawa D-Tracker (a 125cc SM) price today, it's $7500 machine price. I was like :eek: Very ex leh. Add COE, another $1400, Insurance 1st Party $500 = $9400. Phew~!

 

The KLX250 was like $11500 machine price. My jaw drop sia...

[Sorrie4u]

why u enquire those bikes? u changing ride soon bro?

 

anyway i believe the trusty's inverted forks are good la.. though i dont have them yet haha!.. do u wanna order one tgt with me?

Just because rs125s has inverted forks doesn't mean all inverted forks are good. By that logic, I can use a 30$ monoshock suspension on wave. Must be good what, seeing aprilias are using monoshock? For your reference, go to spark135's thread and read page 199. They are discussing about the cons of inverted forks...

 

But ur money.. ur choice... blahhh has warned ya

I think the newest dr200 is a better buy.. but its an offroad setup tho. It's damn reliable tho and good consumption.. alternately, if you're going to spend 10k+ on a bike, might as well go for a 2a motard..

wow wee! i just fixed my big big 4-pot CNC front brake caliper! red colour lolz... ordered from akunar.com... fixed at hua chin... with all the other parts i bought ahah... brake lever, brake master pump (bigger) , oil cooling tank , daytona spark plug wire, front big flower brake disc and some others la... ahha

 

labour - $35

brake master pump bigger kind - $65 (only this from hua chin, the rest all from akunar.com)

white bright headlight - $8

 

total got 3 bucks discount - total is $105

 

too bad cannot use the stock master pump for my big big 4 pot caliper cuz no str8 to brake at all lolz!!

 

 

But just to give an extra review from akunar.com... the bracket he custom made for me for the flower disc and the CNC caliper really fits nicely without any needs to cut or grind! wow!

 

now my braking upgrades are complete... really feels so easy to stop the bike now... maybe too easy! haha... but so far i tried there's not much risk of wheel locking even in extreme cases.. hope it goes well

 

will take a pic of my bike and show u guys soon

 

think i dun wan the inverted forks liao... maybe really not much diff i think so save the money for my rear box!

 

hua chin offer me a dono is 52L or 55L rear box... which is super BIG! with super padding(ed) backrest LOL... looks like for harley kind... no brand de... offer me for 220... trade in my old JNTAN 42L for 20bucks... so only $200...

 

do u guys think i should get it? its really HUGE! lolz the best thing is got backrest and i carry it.. and it is not very heavy too! just a little heavier than my 42L JNTAN box..

The box 52L wat brand leh?

 

The last time I had big flower front disc on my Sparkz110, I always brake hard till my fork bracket bent n bottom steering cone worn n then it starts to affect my cornering. Not to pour cold water but just something to share.
