Dunno where to buy ask here lah.

Go to any newstand or bookstore.

Buy those kupchai magazines. Look at those adverts.

Ask ur hotel sexy puying to call and enquire if they have stock and also the location.

Then grab a taxi and go and buy.

 

 

 

At times only ha ? Must remember to make it a point to be harse ALWAYS ! :lol:

 

 

 

Depends. If tyres are stored incorrectly, complication may arise even if they are new.

U can take 2 years to wear out a tyre. But tyres can harden after prolong periods of unuse.

Tyres are ur only contact point between ur bike and the tarmac below.

U decide.

 

 

 

With me around....u need more than a pinch of salt.

 

 

 

Ur ex-S4 cannot make it lah. :slapforehead:

 

But according to the post below......apparantly....U cannot make it ! :thumb:

 

Oh well... whatever... :angel:

Just to share my experience.

How time flies...

 

Big is certainly a warning but small can be downright scary! Never underestimate the effectiveness of small.

sometime its not the bike cannot make it... its we dont noe how to pick up fast... to be honest and frank.. i really suck at moving off... so not surprising even if a s4 win me.. =))))

 

Well... maybe lah. But I still overtake him, on my ex-S4, at 80kmh and blast till 160kmh and I see him disappear on my rear view mirrors. :cheeky:

How time flies...

But again, I was thinking of getting (another) a lightweight bike with lotsa torque - what will be a good bike? Class 2 excluded - no licence, cannot afford also. :angel:

Hi I want to change my wave's stock chain and sprocket, I have been riding for almost 4 years, mileage 40k plus only, never changed the chain...is it OK to continue using the old chain, it looks OK leh...

 

If really need to change, any better chain or sprocket you guys recommend? Price range? I don't need the top performance and slightly better than the stock is enough for me...

 

I ride 70 to 80 km/h on high way... Thanks...

I would advice u to change if possible.

Cuz the stock chain is not heavy duty.

 

I would rec u to get either

 

1) Original Honda Front and rear 420 sprockets + DID 420 O-Ring Chain

or

2) JT Front and Rear 428 sprockets + RK 428 O-Ring

 

Sprocket sizes is ur preference.

 

1) can get at motorworld

2) can get at Chong Aik but must DIY or bring to another shop.

 

Prices should be about $100-120.

 

Remember, O-ring chains are not miracle products.

They work excellcent if u maintain them properly.

 

Cheers !

hi guys, any idea on improving the stability of the bike? Due to work requirement, I often have to pillion my colleague who is quite heavy. I have to move off in a real slow and steady manner cos the front become too light. I am now unsure whether I should change bike or not. Hope someone can give a solution to improve the stability of my wave. its already with sports rims.

By right, u are not suppose to pillion someone heavier than u for safety reasons...

 

Try sitting more to the front of the seat??

Cry every time I get on my motorcycle.

I did shifted to the front but that doesnt help much...moving off, turning especially u-turn was really difficult...can only turn my handle, dun dare to tilt my bike for every turning..I was thinking should I remove my rear box but dun fix back the pillion hand grip...without box, pillion will be less likely to lean back which will only worsen the handling, minus the weight of the box might also help in reducing the load on the rear...but without box is quite a hassle especially for someone who are too used to having a box...

The rear box doesn't make much of a diff lah~ I have seen a rider with 46L box throwing the Wave into corners and yet still very stable - w/o pillion of coz. :cheeky:

if there a box, there a 99% chance of pillion leaning on it...:cry:

 

box = no problem

w/ pillion = no problem

box w/ pillion leaning on it = serious problems...:cry:

Err....420 and 480 is up to my choice, so 480 is meant for better pick up due to have more teeth? Then I should stick to 420 then...I like stock configuration:cheeky:

Guys, any one knows where is the cheapest place to replace Honda Wave's battery? Thanks!

 

buy from ah boy..cant remember it is $25 or $35....it is the dry cell but got to diy a bit before use..got to top up the liquid into the battery and leave it alone for an hour or so before putting on the cap to seal the battery...

I say say only lah~ But there are down sides to KR - higher FC, more expensive parts, more ex insurance & tax, etc... only good is power. :angel:
