[ziggy_ziggz]

Ziggy_ziggz:

Have you called Cheong Aik to enquire about Cobra pipes?

My friend called but they only have Daytona pipes (tried googling it but couldn't find the exact pic) but i have seen it at my workshop. it's those 45 degree upwards pipes. He's not riding anymore. if you want, I could ask him to sell it to you.

But he mentioned that it's not as "loud" as what we might expect it to be.

hahaha very cool indeed.. getting?

 

I think he should start his cafe racer instead.. Haha,,

 

GN125 is cheap

haha in time to come, i would want to cafe a cb350 or 550, something with 4 pipes.. but that's in time to come haha..

 

oh i should be chopping my rear as well... whack already

[Nomad]

Hahahaha..... yeap. i have been looking around. initially was thinking of the modern cafe racer (street fighter) but after some thoughts, i realised that I still prefer vintage classics. Even for a street bike. therefore, would most probably get a bigger cc street bike to convert it into cafe racer. I'm aiming at a cb1000 '97 model. looks good. it looks like a PB1 400cc.

i dunno, i can pump more than 12L into my vlx600... most of the times over 11L... I am still figuring out what my tank cap is...cos one time i ever pump in 13L...wahahaa... JB fuel is "thinner" is it?

[Nomad]

hahaha... probably dude. Do you usually pump late night or early morning?

The ground is cooler during morning therefore the underground tank is not heated.

The fuel would also be thinner perhaps.

gmoh, seems like you got a lot on hand to mod and future projects. Do you have any mods pictures to share pls...I think it would so much interesting to see the progress. Thanks.

 

Looking forward to it.

Haha currently I'm doing up my bicycle so not much is put into my steed, probably next month I'd start... For now it's just doing the necessary measurements and sourcing for parts and places to do some metal work/fabrication

have yet to enquire, been busy maybe next week or so.

wah those upwards one no need 'hear' kena saman already. since vlx 600 can fit vlx 400 i may try looking around for those aftermarkets.

help me keep a lookout for 2nd hand fork k? Mine is 1inch treaded. I want those straight ones like the Giant OCR kind. My current fork is asap. I need to get new toe straps too cos mine broke

[Oldboy]

Hi bros, Gong Xi Fa Cai and have a safety journey everyday.

[Sprint74]

Hi bros, anyone here can tell me wat's the original size of the steed 400 main jet? I opened mine yesterday cos suspect it's the cause of my FC woes and found out it was #98 (0.98mm). Searched the web and saw that vlx 600 uses #115 and #102 so i think my main jet is definitely too big for a 400cc. Everything original except that half the baffle has been removed.

Update: Found out from a helpful guy from Eversuccess that #98 is the original size for the steed 400 main jet. Air jet should be #35. Guess have to check the needle jets, diaphram, etc for wear and tear cos that might be the cause of the poor FC.

Hi bro, i am facing FC like 17l/km, when release throttle the returning to idle is slow. I went to planet and they dun seems to noe where is the prob. Hoping that you could share the contacts you have? THANK YOU!!

Carb needs to be tuned. Maybe send for servicing at Gerry Looi (Amir) @ Tampines blk 9004 (behind tampines Safra) but better to leave bike there (cos he works on ONE bike at a time so must wait till ba11s drop) or send to ah xiong (amk industrial, 2 shops after Poh Heng Tyres) or Rosli (never been there before so no comments). But ah xiong doesn't have the parts at hand so might have to wait as well.. Any mods to your bike? My exhaust baffle removed so might have to change to bigger main jet. My bike at Gerry Looi's now for carb overhaul (check/ replace worn parts in the carb). Also you might wana check your sprocket size. According to Amir, steed is using 45 teeth original size but mine is using 42. Heavier pickup so having to throttle more when moving off also contributes to poor FC. Smaller sprocket gives better FC at cruising speeds. But in SG, you know what type of traffic we have lah.. My S4 Ver S also had the same problem but after changing back to original sprocket size (when I bought it, it had a smaller sprocket by abt 3-4 teeth as well, gained abt extra 30km before reserve. (from 270km to 300km using shell 95). Advise you to check your sprocket size first but don't change yet. Your carb definitely needs servicing and tuning/ synching first. If got Ang Pau money then might as well settle everything together so that no need to send the bike in twice.
