QUOTE(ajaibman @ May 15 2020, 09:51 AM) You mean Chynuh?QUOTE(alexei @ May 15 2020, 10:35 AM) Like some my friends say, change bike la. JK. Seriously la never considered to change.What would you do differently once you get the bike back up and running? Different oil? Any plans to get something else? Or, still want to hold on to the previous one? I think you'll like 600cc sportsbikes, especially those non ride-by-wire ones. Lately, the price line between 600~1000cc is very blur. Of course la, older bikes, not something within the last 5 years. At most add another but I'll keep the R25. Maybe ride more sedately, married after all. Nothing to do with oil since I'm already using top of the line racing oil and doing absurd intervals like 2500 km oil changes. Opening up the engine also proven that it is nothing to do with oil, the conrods just snapped from (guessing) heat stress and seized up the entire engine. Maybe I'll get something else but it'll be on a distant future, and like I said, only add on. I'm thinking a liter class SuperSports, always wanted to record 300kph and literbikes do it so effortlessly lol. Like you said, price blurred, might as well go all the way. And with my finances, ideally I need to finish servicing my car loan and R25, that's 7 more years (9 years on my car YOLO) So who knows if by then I'll lose interest? No idea. |

QUOTE(alexei @ Jul 16 2020, 03:51 PM) Also, recommending my friends to up their fork oil (R25, Ninja 250s, TNT135 etc) from stock to 20W. i would say 15.The R25 I've tested, are firm on the rear, but front is lacking damping. 20 is too firm and may lack mechanical road gripping capability and especially worse with the stock rears. your fronts need to compress properly so you get grip during rebound. i am commenting from the standpoint of having front preload added and rear Ohlins shock. stock is way too soft. |

QUOTE(alexei @ Jul 20 2020, 07:43 AM) The ones on the right, 3M push ins - (25~28dB NRR) Didn't know 3M Had those![]() What's the stock oil wt? I think it is Yamaha 10wt. Comparing the R25 fork to the SV650 fork oil wt test video, so you think going to 15wt is good enough? I'll check on their bikes and let them know then. As long as the front rebound and rear can match, then it'll be a better start to ride it aggressively, before making further changes. Now with stock, front is lacking damping. Got check with GMT parts? I'm using 3M but without the longer stick Stock R25 is 10w and usually under filled (or their oil sucked so bad it evaporated) from factory. So the first fork service would yield the most drastic improvements. Yes I've seen the SV650 video and I still think it's over stiff. You need your fork to compress to produce mechanical grip. You'll feel nice/firm cuz there's less movements, it's akin to cars getting super stiff spring rates and say be awesome grip maximum performance So yes I still think 20w is too much especially if your rear shock is stock. I run 15w on SIC and Sepang go Kart with Ohlins rear and it's more than enough damping (on the front) GMT had one on October 2019, it was sold before I can negotiate as I'm on a tight budget. Now with MCO, I would prefer to save up cash although it is really tempting to just go HLYM and get a built/crate engine if that's even possible. |
