blackpanda Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I decided to put my money were my mouth is and put the 520 chain on my bike. Front sprocket 13t from the NSR Rear sprocket 41t from the Phantom It all cost me about 1000 baht with the install done at Honda. I didn't buy the parts from Honda just got the service there. Everything works just fine but the bike revs about 1k rpm more for every 10km 100km/h=8k RPM. Before 100km/h=7k RPM. I prefer using the old gear ration but for that I would have to drop the teeth on the rear sprocket. I've looked at a few shops and everyone tells me "phantom luck 41, only 41, don't make other" The chain that I thought was a 520 was actually a double o-ring 428 chain. Anyone have any experience with phantom sprocket? I would like to drop the rear sprocket to 37t to 39t preferably 38t or 39t. I found a 40t but I didn't buy it because I would like to drop at least 2 teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjay35 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hi folks! This is a great thread I'm looking for a distributor for parts for the CBR125/150 series of bikes. The kind of place that akunar or aseanmoto buy there stuff from. Does anyone know where local businesses are sourcing their parts for these bikes from? Any help would be appreciated!

mania Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 hello, Couldnt find it browsing through all these pages so that why im asking if anyone knows a mechanic in Chiang Mai who knows what he is talking about when it comes to slightly tuning my carbed cbr150. any cbr150 specialised shops in CM? thanks for any info I would tend to think there are quite a few as it is such a popular bike. If you wanted to play it safe you could go to a big place like Niyom Panich down the road from Airport Mall on your way back to the moat Right next to large Toyota? dealer I think it is. They have a very large professionally staffed service area around back good prices too. Or you could also try the Piston Shop where Nat speaks English very well & does a lot of modding of various bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpanda Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 http://akunar.com Has bored up kits. You can order whatever they can ems it to you. Any honda dealer or small motorcycle shop should be able to modify your bike. As long as your going to bore to a reasonable size. You can email akunar they speak English and email back pretty quickly. I would worry more if it were a fuel injection model. But of course I figure you don't want to go with a bike Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo78 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi I have 2013 CBR150i now on 1300 km. Few days ago I bought akrapovic carbon full set exhaust from Teera Motorcycle and installing was done there. Sound quite cool when compare with stock exhaust however most of time when I let off throttle and slowing down exhaust making small booming sound. Its like small explosion. I wonder if it's normal. And if its not normal will my Honda dealership can fix that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes from lessening the exhaust restriction/baffling Some will say you have a leaner condition some will say richer. (arguments can rage about that one ) You can now add a EFI controller like power commander etc. to lessen it & take more advantage of your less restricted bike if you want. That aside what you can do right now to lessen it is when decelerating completely let the throttle close It will probably not pop at all or very slightly. The popping mainly occurs at partial closure/ slightly open throttle while decelerating. Of course may not always be feasible but try it as it is easier done than explained Edited March 4, 2014 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 74 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Nov 13 So how long should a chain last? A year, two years or 20,000km, 30,000 km? DID chains are DID chains. The difference is the size 428 CBR 150, 520 CBR 250. No, they aren't the same. A non-Thai DID chain should be good for over 50k km, ime. http://www.yaban.com/upload/en/85/14_file_1.pdf Your wrong the size of the chain matters. The bigger the chain the more durable it is. This is of course true, but you seem to be completely unaware of other factors that also affect durability. http://www.didchain.com/chainSpecs.html The stock CBR150 chain is Thai manufactured. Hearing from owners they seem to last about 10-15k km. The stock CBR250 chain is Japanese manufactured. Hearing from owners they seem to last over 50k km+. Quoting your own link, you can see that each size has different levels of streght. Standard, heavy duty and extra heavy duty. http://www.yaban.com/upload/en/85/14_file_1.pdf I hope that helps your understanding.

Using the front 14 from a NSR and rear 41 from phantom. I've ridden about 10,000km and I've not once had to move my tire back to compensate for chain slack. 520 is just a better chain.

mania Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 So I wonder where I can buy PowerCommander in Bangkok and tuned by professional? I have heard places like dirt shop? sell & do dyno tests. But really you do not need a pro tune & probably none really do alter maps. Power commander usually has a few maps to match likely modifications such as changed exhaust & air filter. That would be close enough. But also all EFI controller come with software & if you are interested you can alter the values of rich/lean at various throttle settings. I am not even sure they do one for CBR150? Probably as it is a popular bike. But also you can order one from abroad too. You may or may not get hit with customs charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 RE chains on CBR 150's: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the older carb version had the more expensive 428 O-ring chain as stock, and the newer injected model uses the cheaper 428 non-O-ring type. Local dealer would sell either only as a set with sprockets. ~2600 &1400baht respectively if I recall right, and they are functionally interchangeable. I needed to replace a really rusty chain on a low mileage 2008 model. As my sprockets were still good, I chose a non-O ring unit at a small shop for 450baht, installed.

Dave 74 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Resale value of both the CBR150 and 250 are terrible, really. Last time I enquired the new 150 was 90k baht. Almost new 250's seem to be going for 80 odd k. Must be hard to get rid of them, even without the new 300, or 284 coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
