Chowyunfatt Turbocharged August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 I just bought it 3 months ago. FP plate. 1997. Cannot keep for long already cos no more parts. After COE up I think just nice scrap it. If its an "L" model ... You might consider exporting it ... its still very popular in other countries ... or even better, keep it ... They don't make Bike like these anymore ... ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4vtec 3rd Gear August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 Couldnt agree more. Its really so irrelavant, relative to the bike models avail these days. Where bikes are concerned, 2A is maxi scooter or Honda Kup Series.... And thanks thanks to this archaic system, so many bike models are excluded in Sg. And Singaporeans generally dont have the physique of a Japanese.... The intent to keep novice and inexperienced riders off more powerful machines is fully understandable , but using engine capacity as a limiting factor is really from the dinosaur ages, If memeory serves me right , countries that adopt somewhat simlar restreictions on new riders include UK and Australia , but the limit the riders to engine output . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Supersonic August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 The intent to keep novice and inexperienced riders off more powerful machines is fully understandable , but using engine capacity as a limiting factor is really from the dinosaur ages, If memeory serves me right , countries that adopt somewhat simlar restreictions on new riders include UK and Australia , but the limit the riders to engine output . Yes, Europe is now based on A1 & A2 system iinw, - A, limited to 33hp - A2, limited to 48hp Or for Australia / OZ they use the LAMs which is by power to weight ratio. Not more than 0.26hp per Kg. In any case, even with a restrictor kit to make it conform, the original hp of the bike cannot be more than 2x the restricted version. Hence the likes of rockets like cbr600rr, R6, G6, zx-6, would still be out of bounds more novices. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am really serious about getting the header (in the future not now), the best place to find probably scrapyards. So many CBRs have already bite the dust. Pretty sad.

You reckon a 150cc old bike's engine can tahan the stress of traveling for three to four hours straight? @BabyBlade You won't be riding for 3-4 hours straight, there will be at least one fuel stop along the way, probably at Machap around the +- 70km mark of the NSH and maybe another one at Pagoh if you guys aren't in a rush. Fuel stops might be dependent on the mileage of the various bikes in the group or simply a matter of taking it easy and having regular stops/smoke breaks. Remember to bring raincoat. Don't tompang any of your belongings on other peoples' bikes (eg. topbox or panniers). Make sure your fluids are topped up and it wouldn't hurt to have some extra 2T with you. If you suay suay run into problems, m'sian bikeshops should not have problems repairing an SP or in the worst case give my buddy Shanker a call (90619948) for bike recovery. He's the guy I trust to transport my bike up and down from Sepang, his rates are reasonable and he really goes out of his way to help (he will rush off in the middle of the night to rescue breakdown/accident bike from up north past KL). Don't hold the same revs for prolonged periods, particularly if you're whacking. 2-stroke engines will develop hotspots in the combustion chamber this way which will eventually lead to pistons seizing. Vary your revs or as I prefer, occasionally open/close the throttle to vary the flow of gasses in the chamber. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vary your revs or as I prefer, occasionally open/close the throttle to vary the flow of gasses in the chamber. Thank you @Myxilplix once again. A few questions... 1. Don't tompang any of your belongings on other peoples' bikes (eg. topbox or panniers). Why is this so? 2. If you suay suay run into problems, m'sian bikeshops should not have problems repairing an SP or in the worst case give my buddy Shanker a call (90619948) for bike recovery. Well noted! Thank you. Btw, Shanker is local but goes all the way up North? 1. What the average charges for a tow? 2. Do you normally tow to the nearest bike shop in M'sia or back to SG? I've heard towing can cost up to a few hundreds to get it back to SG. 3. Don't hold the same revs for prolonged periods, particularly if you're whacking. 2-stroke engines will develop hotspots in the combustion chamber this way which will eventually lead to pistons seizing. That's the biggest fear - chances of my piston seizing. Does not cost much to replace a 2 stroke piston but up North.... Haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest taking the NSHW and leave early... and exit Ayer Hitam for first break.... At Ayer hitam and turn right to hv breakfast at either Kulang Railway station or turn left to try the famous Ayer Hitam bao... or can go into Batu Pahat (32km away from Ayer Hitam) then stop in the town for break fast (can check out the choices at the batu pahat thread) If going into Batu Pahat... then can ride to Melaka via Muar... if you prefer the small roads... ayer keroh is ard 200km north... it takes 2.5 hr max to reach melaka ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
