I spent almost that for 0 power gains on my R25

Not bad stuck by your words.

Words of caution:
1) Chipping/breaking exhaust valves (ironically this didn't happen on my bike)
2) snapping con rods
3) badly filled front forks
4) 3 recalls
5) burning wirings
6) burning stator coils and/or rectifiers
7) burning wiring sockets

You didn't brake at corner with that Ohlins .....

Lies

i am also a witness to this

main 3p

Thanks . Damn , that list makes me tremble. Is there a specific year model that all of those have occured? How does one know whether above has occured? Still relatively new with this bike. I'm praying that the 2018 models would be corrected from most of these problems since my bike didn't fall under the models for HLY's recent recall.

should be corrected.

praying more maybe helps.

my bike power train/engine etc all bone stock.

in Quaza's case.... not year manufacture problem...

but rider problem

I see, did you experienced any of the aforementioned problems during your time with the R25 ?

I've been told the same as well. Do you know what handling methods would cause the problems listed above? Or rather the proper steps in handling a bike? Would like to ask because I've just started riding and have no idea whether the way I ride is considered detrimental towards the bike, perhaps I could get some inputs from the sifus here. Here's what I've been doing/faced so far :

1) Riding around gear 3-4 at 30-40km/hr within town area (maybe less, I don't often see my speedometer as of now) - reason being I'm still not ready for highway rides, even for a short distance. Still learning how to upshift at the right RPM, but usually I upshift around 5000rpm for gears 3-4 , but for gear 1, usually at around 1000-2000 rpm i'd shift to gear 2.

2) Rev-matching when downshifting - At times i do experience a bit of a jerk with a somewhat-loud engine roar, could be improper rev matching ?

3) Coming to a halt at gear 3 then only shifting down to gear 1 while stationary - was been told that this is okay for the bike

4) The standard checks for coolant, brake oil (front and back), engine oil and lubing the chains

5) Speed bumps - Sometimes I come in a bit too fast but not until the point it hits the chasis or engine (no sounds of materials scratching?) but the bike has that "oomph" feeling whereby you can upward force travelling throughout balls till your head.

6) At times when slowing down (eg: when a car slows down right infront of me) I tend to forget pulling in the clutch which causing the bike to have that jerky-soon-to-stall feeling , but never has it ever stalled because I'd pull in the clutch and downshifting + rev match.

7) When approaching the red light, I'd drag/press the rear brakes and pull in the clutch (plus cutting off the throttle) and gently pull in the front brakes, will pulling in the clutch while the bike is moving be harmful? I've heard some say it'd "eat" the clutch.

8) Avoided gravels , muds and stuff

9) Giving the bike a bit of throttle while letting go the clutch slowly during take-off

10) Currently breaking in the R25 until i reach 1000km by not exceeding 7,000rpm as per what the manual stated. But at times, still a virgin biker, I tend to throttle to much with the clutch pulled it, causing the rpm to raise pretty high (but not till red line) while stationary. This happened 3-4 times since the 1st day while taking-off at a traffic light which just turned green.




Lastly, thank you to those who helped I hope my long silly questions are not too extreme

Pay attention to my post, notice there was only one item I mentioned didn't happen to my R25.


2) yes.

Is your bike new or used?

Wow fck me sidways, that's a lot of problems . It's new 2018 model.

EDIT: What do you think of no.3 ? Downshifting at a stop.

1/ fine as long as ur comfy with it
2/ yes
3/ this is fine. i sometimes do from 6th on my bike lol
4/ can do this when u service but no harm taking a peek every now n then. for lubing chain, i recommend lubing every time u fill a full tank. wash once a month minimum
5/ normal... slow down lor
6/ usually fine, best to avoid
7/ what ur doing is fine. clutch is only "eaten" when its engaged. pulling the clutch disengages it. stop listening to those some people.
8/ yes
9/ thats how ur supposed to do it
10/ no worries. its fine.

Doesn't matter on 3

Thank you bro for the answers and guide.
