ga libug lagi ko kung XRM ba or fury....


ang fury mn gud dili kaayo common dili parehas sa XRM ga 2001 pa unya common na kaayo....

ganahan ko sa XRM tungod kay duha iya kana para shock? unya ang fury kay isa ra...

dunno about sa brakes kung disc ba na? unsay difference sa disc ug katong unsa to kato isa?

sorry... newbie pako pero dali rajud ko makat.on.

Ok, this is just a "short summary type" explanation hehehe

Disc Brakes allows you more "range" to regulate how hard you are braking resulting in no wheel lock ups (providing you practice progressive braking techniques) which translates to better braking. Drum brakes, on the other hand, tend to lock up your wheels easily resulting in lesser braking effectiveness. Locking up the rear wheels is dangerous and could result in a high side (where you get thrown off the bike) or low side (where you slide off the bike onto the pavement).

Monoshock is better than dual shocks because it is easier to tune since you just need to dial in settings for 1 shock versus dialing in settings for 2 sets of shocks and trying to find the perfect balance for them. It also eliminates "bouncing" or "wallowing" of the rear end during hard cornering since only 1 shock is being compressed. Bouncing or wallowing results when one shock is compressing more than the other one in dual shock bikes which causes an imbalance between the 2 shocks.

So go for the one with the monoshock and the disc brakes

Example of "bouncing" or "wallowing"... go to 4:06 of this video:
YouTube - My Commute to Work Onboard My Motorcycle - Mango Ave Route

I'm using an ordinary underbone with dual shocks in the vid... when I lean in on the mild curve near Ayala, the rear end starts "bouncing" on me.

naka disc brakes ba ang XRM ug ang fury?

hehe. kuyawan mn sad ta sa vid nimo. wala pa raba kaayo ko experience sa motor. XD

pero dili mn sad kaayo ko mag pa kusog sad nga mag topspeed pirmi. go with the flow lng gud hantud ma abot sa destination.

then about sa gears ba... let's say naa nako sa 3rd gear pero wala nako na tuyok kaayo ang para gas then ako ma sayup ug 4th gear kalit.... ma sukamod ko ana? mo hunong na kalit ang motor?

sorry jud... newbie pa ko sa motor. kutob rako 2nd gear sa kawasaki sauna sako father. 150cc mn to... den ga tuyok2x ra sa barangay. XD

Both have front disc brakes. But both have drum rear brakes. But don't worry too much about the rear brakes cause 80% of your braking power is in the front brakes anyway. Pang sugod ra na sa weight transfer to the front wheels during braking ang rear brakes.

Changing from 3rd to 4th gear, dili man mu sukamod, maka feel lang ka murag walay kusog imong engine inig puga nimo sa throttle. What you should be worried is accidentally changing from a higher gear to a lower gear kay kung let's say naka 3rd gear ka unya medyo taas2x na imong rev sa makina sa ana nga gear unya ma kalitan nimo ug down gear to 2nd gear... mu lock ang imong likod nga wheels due to the abrupt change in speeds... mura ra ka ning brake kalit sa likod hehe (not to mention lu.oy pud imong drive chain ani hehe)

Go with the auto clutch models lang usa... para one less thing to think about, then if you get more comfy na with the handling and stuff you could try a manual clutch one. Naa man pud auto clutch model ang XRM ug Fury.

Or if you don't want the hassle of changing gears go for the scooters... Mio is a good choice with the abundance of parts available sa market

Edit: I think ang bag.o nga Fury naka rear disc brakes na pud.

hehe. kato kawasaki sako pops kay manual mn to. hehe. din naka experience namn guro ko anang murag na pawng kalit high-low gear. pero 2nd to 1st to xa. XD.

hehe. pero dali btaw ko makat.on. i like speed mn sad...

then kanang HARD BREAK IN... unsa na xa? then unsa kaha mga things na ako buhaton first kung bag.o lng palit ako motor... fury siguro ako pilion...

salamat master sa mga replies... level up ako intelligence sa motorcycling. ^_^

[norrissee]

Master gud intawn, bag.o paman sad ko nag motor hehehehe ungo lang kaau ko sa mga rides hahahahaha sige ra kog solo rides hehe so far pinakalayu nako si siaton, negros pa nga solo ride. Ngita pako lain destination para sunod.

napa ko sa middle part sa imo gi hatag nga link nako.. reply sa ko.

asa nindot mag break in... sa SRP?

grrrr. kuyawan mn sad ko mag break in sako motor. pero for experience sad. bahala na si Lord nako. XD

den kung deceleration ba, dili ko mo brake ana sa? pasagdan lng nako gkan sa topspeed?

[norrissee]

pwede ra pud srp or kanang mag long rides ba ka... make sure lang walay bus or sakyanan sa imong likod kay inig kalit nimo ug engine brake ma rear ended nya ka hehehe

kung decelration ang engine imong ipa brake... para ra na ma seat tarong ang piston rings. Pde ra pud ako imong pa gamiton sa imong motor para ako mag break in ana hahahahahahahahaha

bitaw, don't worry too much on the break-in process... drive normally lang gud sa city unya weekends adto lang srp para sa accel/decel nga excercises, make sure lang na naa ka sa pinaka kilid sa dalan haha

[ace_maranga]

kung mag break in ba... pde ba na dri lng sa garage namo? i mount lng xa para dili mo touch ang wheels sa ground... din i mas speed? butangan lng ug dako nga electric fan para dili mo overheat...

then kanang deceleration nga ang engine akong ipa brake... dili ko mo tunob sa brake ana sa? pasagdan lng jud nako?
