1998 RG150E What to do first?

[pyrocam]

oh if you want to bring your bike around I can show you some stuff. im sure its pretty similar. PM me if keen


umm, whoops sorry. that wont work ...wellytron

[jimdaworm]

Yeah thanks for the offer though! I think they are pretty similar bikes. Maby mine is water cooled and yours not or somthing like that

[Racey Rider]

how close is RG to RGV?

...and dont ride at 100 for more than abour 3 hours. give it an hour inbetween.

Can't see what differents that makes myself! If it's runs alright for 3 hours, it should run alright all day given you keep fuel/oil topped up.

Suzuki took a step backwards when they replaced the RG150 with the RGV150. The RG is water cooled, full flareing, mag wheels, disk brakes both ends. The RGV is air cooled, quarter flaring, drum brake rear, spoked wheels,

yeah. I dont think an aircooled faggy bike like man could go all day.

maybe in the south island it could.

mmm diskbrakes both ends would be nice
as well as the watercooling.

Oh well, Im buying a much more reliable bike soon. 4 cyclinder 250cc of some sort. 250fxr I think I was recommended

my 98 rg150 has disk brakes and its water cooled well spotted finding that info

electric or kick?


and on another note to other KB'rs. do any bikes come with both? or is it a common feature. I definately want to have both on my next bike

My bike has both but I doubt you'd want one as your next bike mate.
It has errrrrrrr, forget it,it might be listening.

Older electric start bikes normally had kick starts also. 1970's, 80's stuff.

[jimdaworm]

My one only has kick start, but its soooo easy to start, I can do it with my hand (I was fiddling today).

Oh yeah what are KB'rs?

hehe lol.
I get the feeling that:

but fark, why cant by 2001 bike have electric.
man.
stupid suzuki. whyd the do a celeron version of the RG150

still $2000 for a 2001 RGV150 with 10000k and a free $500 jacket and so bad. pretty good I thought

Same as Celeron. Cost. Electric start is a pricey thing (and means bigger alternator, battery etc, more cost).

Similarly, water cooling costs more than air cooling.

Question is, is an electric start really so important on a 150 ?

(And I'm strange, I personally prefer a drum rear brake. Never seen any reason why a disk is better on the rear, unless you're racing. Doubtfull even then)

point, I think its just a penis thing. well, I SUPPOSE a disk brake is better. it definatly looks like you have a better bike. just like double front disk brakes. or a big exhaust (have you ever seen the little flaccid wang on the end of my bike? im thinking of removing it)

electric is just handy. out of allll the KB members ive meet, sparky is the only one who uses a kickstart. I actually get laughed at for the kick. and yes it is only a 150, so being the mature senior member that I am, I should say haHA I have less maintenace cost for the effort of a little push or 15 in the morning.....

sigh

/me use kickstart. T500 only has kickstart. On the bloody left too, which is a pig.

Lot of the off road based singles have only kick start.

Electric start is for wimps [That should set something rolling ! - open the LART shelter door, I'm coming through]

a 500 on a kick? fuck man you must be needing big heavy boots for that. AND on the left. thats a mission and a half.

Ive changed my mind, your right, electric is for pussies

I hope there is room in that shelter for me *covers head*

And me? I don't know if you'd have me though- I'd like a KTM640 Enduro, they have both 'lectric leg and OG (original gangsta) kick start.
