CBR250 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 CB500 as a shopping trolley - need a custom rack (2,500 in stainless steel) and top box (Jintan are cheap and long lasting - 1800). Or wear a giant backpack and don't lean too much in corners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilm Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) I want to drive my children to school on it. Is there a gas tank seat mod out yet? Perhaps use the frame sliders, one standing on each side? Edited April 14, 2013 by pilm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the sarcasm font when you need it There was a school near my old condo. Many mornings at the traffic lights I'd see a policeman taking his two young kids to school on his bike. One on the rear seat, one splayed out flat on the gas tank, no helmets of course. Then running the red light if nothing was coming. Imagine the results of that in the West. Policeman sacked and possibly imprisoned, kids taken away to care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatsupreme Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 so how are you satisfied with the bike guys? Was it worth buying or are you tired of it already? Can somebody make a youtube with a real bike sound, I still think it sounds like a scooter thy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilm Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 so how are you satisfied with the bike guys? Was it worth buying or are you tired of it already? from most reports it's a great bike for what it is. For 200k it seems like great value if you're looking for something like that. Can somebody make a youtube with a real bike sound, No they can't. get one's lazy ass to a dealer and ride one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserlazer Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I am totally satisfied with it. I can commute, tour ans go for a track at the same day. Great allrounder. Of course it should be better 20 horses more. For 200k great value for thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the US version have more HP? if so, how? 15-20% is a quite reasonable expectation. Some 5-10 hp...still well below a ER6.These are are global bikes meaning same power everywhere. Unlike the N250 which has (had?) carb'd versions that put out more power; regardless of the claims that the Thai FI was more powerful than the European version.

Cams, porting etc? yes possible to see the 10hp+ gains Pilm, there was a rumor originally that the US got a 54hp version rather than the 47hp but that was just a rumor it seems.

loserlazer Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) 20% is an optimistic number i think. I say 15% max which is still a good number more than 50 rwhp. And i hope the rumors of 54 hp for usa is true as i am sure a pc5 can solve the problem. Edited April 14, 2013 by loserlazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That upper estimate was based on the 20-25% increase that the N250 (carb'd versions) are getting with the snorkel removal/full systems on the ninjette.org board. I concur that most likely the 54hp is crankshaft...it dovetails quite nicely with the standard ~12% drivetrain loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubberSideDown Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 When looking at new exhaust systems, the dyno sheet is only one aspect- dropping weight will increase performance just as much as adding power- find out how much the stock system weighs in comparison to the aftermarket system you might be considering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree here 100%, unsprung weight reduction will definitely release a few ponies used to haul that extra weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserlazer Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 From aftermarket pipes, you get nearly 4-5 kgs weight reduction. Remove some more and some aluminium parts maybe get another 5 kgs. Unsprung weight reduction starts from 30 or 40 k thb rims:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sup3r1or Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 How is everybody doing? Sorry for the long absence I was on the holiday and had my hands full. Aftermarket exhausts are great problem is they told me straight away in the BW that fitting one will void my warranty straight away. I can however buy it from them and they will do it which is fine. But they want 40k for Moriwaki and 50K for Mugen which is very expensive. I have get one from Europe nearly half of that. Besides I really want to hear how it sounds first each one before making decision on which one to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you change the exhaust, you only lose the warranty on the exhaust. You change your brake lever, you only lose the warranty on your original brake lever, and so on and so on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Same thing Kawasaki said Does not void warranty but warranty will not change or replace aftermarket parts is all Same for insurance claims.
