Temperature getting cool now. More bike during TT





The otai


I like this but too high to test ride

If you dont have the car jack, you can use timber block. Place it under the swing arm on the other side of the bike. Get someone help to lift the bike.
With side stand down, turn your handle to most left. Hold handle with left hand and your right hand holding on right side pillion foot peg. Step on side stand and lift the bike using your right hand. And the other guy place the timber block. Got it?

Lift up to just enough to spin the tyre for cleaning or lubricating your chain. Use cardboard when spraying the lube to keep your rim clean (place it between chain and rim).

Im not responsible for any damage from the bike fall on this method

I never put my bike on rear paddock stand alone. Will always get someone help to hold the bike

You can use anything solid block or 2-3 pieces of timber. Unless you want to buy Packjack

Is the saman amount is the same for normal speed trap? I didnt read the details. I hv here 2 tickets from speeding (also AES). Too fast until i didnt see the camera. Each will cost me 600. I was lucky when i jumped the red light once. Flashed but was not recorded in the system. Here, jumping red light will cost you 6000

DIY bro


I saw on FB about the stolen bike. R1 and Agusta, 2 bikes at a time. I really cannot brain how they curi the bike. Immobilizer seems can by pass easily

Why not just trade in if wanna upgrade to other bike? Sometimes very hard to find serious buyer. Good luck on yr sales bro

Added on October 14, 2012, 12:56 pmFrom which bike this exhaust was taken? I think better get the specific exhaust for specific bike, even the mounting is the same. Get the LV SBK

Actually it is more on suspension setup. Long ride also same to me. My wrist also problem. My FGK cartridge seems little hard but tweaking for perfect is a never end story for me

For #8 u mean the T clamp? I already hv mine all to correct torque. What to do with that. Anything on the rebound setup!

What tire you use now? I just got a call from local dealer. They received few new stocks for S20 and only 190/50 for rear. No 190/55.
I cannot wait even more to get 003RS or Q2 from online store. I saw you knee dragging to Genting

I think it is normal for touring type

Added on October 15, 2012, 6:01 pmI checked again. They hv only 180 for 55. I need more contact patch. Dont tell me you ride like granma la bro..

Got new BT S20 fitted yesterday and try out few miles this morning. Of course new tire feel better grip but also quicker acceleration.
A little lower for 190/50 rear and little less contact patch in cornering but gripping feel still great. Need 100 miles 'break in' before next week TD during Eid. Will see how it impress me on track

I paid equivalent to RM1500 including installation and balancing

Added on October 20, 2012, 12:43 pmI use Starlane on my bike. Take note that if you use for track, cant rely on it because if you are on high speed and shifting down from 6 to 2 into corner, it always like giving 'gila' indication.

Added on October 20, 2012, 12:49 pmI just want to share with what i got from Bridgestone about tire pressure. Hope this will help. Copy paste from my email


Good Morning,

I’m new to Bridgestone S20 for motorcycle. What are the recommended cold tire pressure for track and street use for details below;

Tire: 120/70/17 Front & 190/50/17 Rear
Bike: 2006 Yamaha YZF R1
My weight without riding gear: 58kg

Also, what is the recommended temperature for pre-heat using tire warmer for track use.

Appreciate your prompt reply.

Best Regards


Dear Mr.

Thank you very much for your enquiry regarding our motorcycle tyre products.
Also please accept my apologies for the late reply.

My name is Hisao Suganuma and I am in charge of field engineering at Bridgestone.


Then, regarding the pressure for S20 of your vehicle;
1) At street: Please follow the your vehicle manual, I believe it'll be 250kpa for front
and 290kpa for rear at COLD but please confirm this with your vehicle manual.

2) At circuit: Basically, same pressure setting at cold as street use but you may reduce
it by max. of 20kpa for both front and rear depending on the hanling.

But please keep in mind this is only for circuit use.
For street use, please follow your vehicle manual from the safety point of view.

Hope this information could useful for you to understand our tyres.

Best regards,
Hisao Suganuma

Added on October 20, 2012, 1:05 pmI'm not sure if it might void the warranty because it is only an add on by tapping to bike harness. And you can always hide it when parking to avoid being stolen.
I DIY the installation. Just need the service manual to locate certain wires and after, do the 'gear teaching'. You may need rear paddock stand or can do it on long straight street. This because you need higher RPM on setting it.

Hard Racing is selling around USD100.
Im not sure about Acumen but Starlane c/w shift light and auto dimmer. So you can hv 2 shift light setting (1 on your speedo)

I guess Z800 shall be more tasteful to ride. For any bike, I normally google for ‘problem’ instead of review

Take rest and GWS bro. Dont worry about the bike. It is just fairing parts that you can replaced

I hv also some stock parts if you need. Tell me what you might need and I'll check my store. Will be FOC for you but need shipping

RM800 for plug and labor? Damn farking crazy man. I changed once before so i know how to make it easy way now.
I remember you hv AIS block off plate. Much easier if already AIS removed and installed. If you yet to, better give it as charity to me

There are online used part. Even can be found in ebay. They selling with parts full detailed photo for what ever defects, so you can decide. I saw before assorted colour of fairing with little damaged and cant really seen. Others like switches, sub frame and so on...

The exhaust can change with full system now

No, I didnt change the ignition coil. Only the spark plugs and can say no different after.
My PC now also problem. When throttle is open, the light on the PC doesnt move. Stay at bottom. My friend reset it but still the same. I need to borrow windows laptop to slowly find the problem

No need all those electronic thinggy unless you ride on track frequently.
I just hope on my new tire to improve my personal best time at Losail Circuit coming Saturday TD

where is the link?

Added on October 25, 2012, 12:59 amI still wonder the right cold pressure to apply. I feel something wrong in the Bridgestone email to me
FT are expensive. I think around USD500 when i checked before. Can get bazaaz with that price. Unlike ECU, piggy back can be removed in worse case and leave the bike running stock

Ok thanks. The same bike on youtube at post #2144 right?

Sorry to say but he deserved it because from his own mistake. He try to lean at very 1st turn, just after coming out from pit lane. Tire for sure very cold and he cracked throttle wide

Even he cut through lane when egress from pit. Too eager to go but too late now.
In case happened to some others here, remember... don't try to start your bike after you down without checking your bike. You are in track so just ask marshall to tow back to pit.

Check all damage on bike like handle, rear set, lever etc bla bla...see any oil or coolant leaking from hoses or side. Cool down the engine. Let the engine oil settle down. Check the oil level. Check also overflow hose for petrol from tank. Clean it and clean all debris from the bike.

Then only run the engine. During this, check again for any leak. Heard any unusual sound? any smoke?
Try ride it in short distance. How the bike handling? If everything is ok, then only ride it to nearest dealer for further check. Or you can just continue few more laps on track if you very well sure that the bike is ok.

Im not rich like you other guys but this not like EX5 or Kriss bike bro where you can just simply change with another new
