Last year April, I bought a MHR Venom helmet.

But due to my carelessness, occasionally dropping the helmet, the side plate was in a bad shape. Visor will come out whenever I ride fast or when I wind up/down my visor. Asking for the price for the replacement of the side plate costs about $10. It’s totally not worth to change consider that I bought this helmet for around $20++ ?

Henceforth, I went to buy a white Mfizz Evolution II helmet. Free delivery to my house and a free helmet bag. Costs me $65 due to its light-weight and fibre glass shell construction. In my opinion, I think the pricing was better than Lim Ah Boy (LAB) where I was quoted around $70.

The best part is that when I bought this helmet today, it comes along with a First Street Legal Tinted Visor. Totally love it! No more risking paying $40 fine for wearing tinted visor!

For those interested in getting the helmet, you can find the supplier @ http://www.helmetboys.com.

The original and the perception that this is the only stock paintwork of NSR 150:

No! This is NOT the only one. There is another one too!

However, I have yet to see this stock paintwork in Singapore yet. Maybe Singapore doesn’t import this paintwork of NSR 150. If my memory did not failed me, I saw this paintwork before at some Taiwan and Hong Kong websites.

This is very disappointing despite the sales of NSR 150 in Singapore was very good during the 90s. One old friend of mine even told me that NSR 150 SP was so hot and popular during the 90s such that every car-park has at least two NSR 150! When he was still studying at Singapore Polytechnic during year 2000, there were about 30 ++ NSR 150 in the car-park!

Now on the road, we could still see quite a number of NSR 150 alive. Its reliable engine and low costs maintenance still makes it a popular choice among youths. Even some uncles are still riding it, with the mounting of rack and box! Hope the spirit of NSR does not die!

Recently, got into accident again. My NSR takes much of the damage due to the nature of being a fairing bike (sports bike). As this time round I can’t didn’t claim insurance, all the repair works have to be D-I-Y by me alone.

I noticed from experience that once NSR fairing(s) absorb the damages, caused from the accident, the frame “leg” holding the fairing together tends to get crooked. Rather to buy and waste your precious time looking through Honda Distributor for a new one, might as well you KNOCK it with hammer.

Yes, knocking the frame leg hard enough can get it back to shape. But you can’t expect it to 100% fit the fairings. You need to squeeze before you can really tighten the farings together.

In the mean time, I will go take some pictures of how the frame leg looks like. Do bookmark!

This is a guide written by me to adjust Honda NSR 150 SP Oil Pump to increase or to decrease your 2T Oil intake. If you are having too much white smoke, you might want to decrease your 2T oil intake and vice-versa.

Warning :: It is highly recommended that you have some basic mechanical skills to perform this job. You must understand that a wrong adjustment of the oil pump might caused piston seizure or even reducing the lifespan of the engine. Henceforth, I hold no responsibility for any damages caused by following this guide to adjust your NSR 150 oil pump.

First of all, remove your right cowling to access the bike Oil Pump system. Then,

Next, understand that the red highlights in the picture below is the Oil Control Cable.

With this in mind,

You might noticed that there is a lock nut too below the “documented” lock nut in the picture above. Remember to screw both lock nut tightly once you have finish adjusting the oil control cable. Failure to do so might result the Oil Pump system going haywire!

Do keep in mind that the aligning mark on the oil pump drum MUST aligned with the index mark projection on the oil pump body when you do a full throttle. This is the default setting for the Oil Pump system. However, an extra adjustment of 1mm (0.04 inch) of the oil pump drum aligning mark going pass the index mark projection is acceptable. The 2T intake will be further increased.

In addition, NEVER let the index mark on the oil pump drum aligned before the index mark projection. Failure to do so might result in serious engine damage!

Once you are done with the adjustment, just tighten both the adjusting nut and lock nut to “secure” the oil control cable.

That’s all for my guide. One last tip to share, a few round turning of the top lock nut on the oil control cable is very sensitive. A few round can affects the 2T ratio to petrol even though the Oil Control Cable doesn’t seem to be going downward. Adjust accordingly to your own needs.

Good luck and have fun!~

I talked about having a new paint job since Feb but didn’t update the picture. Now here is my NSR picture:

To “Ah Gua Lane” at Johor Baru, Malaysia!

I went in, for the first time, to service my bike and to pump petrol. It is dirt cheap compared to Singapore and their service is not that bad. I went in with SGD50 and convert to RM120++

These are what I did at AGL:
- In-line Fuel Filter (add a new one for my NSR)
- Decarbonize exhaust pipe, header and belly
- Washing of carburetor
- Changing of spark plug
- Drinking nescafe kopi and some biscuit
- Pumping Petronas RON 97 petrol until FULL FULL

So shiok ahhh!!! SGD50 go in do so much things. In Singapore, 50 bucks alone can’t even cover the costs of decarbonising my exhaust. However, the mechanic at Hou Heng bikeshop scratched my rear left tailboard deeply. I didn’t blame them because the guys at H L Cycle (Singapore bikeshop) adjust the fuel knob in a slanted way, which result in scratching the tailboard when the fuel tank was to be install back on the bike. It was an honest mistake

Nevertheless, I will go in again to familiarize the road and see see if I could get any accessories for my NSR

FYI, the place is called Ah Gua Lane because the lane behind those bikeshop, stands a lot of Ah Gua. I didn’t knew until I went to test my bike which go around the whole place. When I came back, my friend was amazed by me who say I went to the back-lane alone. I freaking don’t even know there are ah gua behind. Got trap!

I have a bad experience to share about Caltex station @ Tampines AVE 10.

First of all, the least octane of fuel that can be pumped into Honda NSR150SP is RON91. Any fuel that is lower than this octane will causes engine knocking, resulting in serious engine damages.

And yes, I encountered engine knocking while traveling back home today. My NSR keep on jerking and jerking till it stalls half-way while I was riding. It was a damn scary experience as it was the peak hour on the road. Worst of all, the engine dies off 3 times and I have difficulty starting it!

I have to on-off the engine kill switch, turn my fuel knob to reserve, pull out my choke, and keep on whacking my throttle while kick-starting the engine at the same time.

Of course, I was freaking tired and exhausted. Previously, I did not encountered any engine knocking about Caltex Regular 92 petrol on other stations. The engine knocking occurs whenever I pumped RON92 at Caltex Tampines Ave 10.

This seriously probes the octane of Caltex Regular 92 Petrol at Tampines Ave 10 pump station. Out of the grace of my heart, ‘m going to write in to question the octane issues before more and more drivers/riders have their engine screwed up.
