Dear All,
First of all let me introduce myself,
I own a Msx since February, i was a very first one to buy this bike since i'm an expat living in Bangkok and i went to buy it as soon as i could after seeing it in a shop (which of course had only 1 bike for show but wasn't selling it!!)
I'm very glad with the bike, I've done almost 7,000 Km in Bkk since (and around) without a single problem, as for all Honda's, except small crash into a Toyota Hillux but that's an other story !
Now i have a couple of questions, i'm definitely not a mechanics, never practiced and i believe that you guys will be able to help me, on the other hand if you have any question regarding the bike i'll be glade to answer it, i'm starting to know it pretty well.
*First question, i'm really starting to consider of upgrading the exhaust : What is your option (without talking about the price), should i go for a Tyga, a LeoVince (Cobra), a Yoshimura or akrapovic ?
So far i love the sound of the Tyga and LeoVince but not sure about the perf.
*Secondly, i've read that we could mount a KN Air filter on the bike, is that correct ? This model : R-1100 - K&N Universal Air Filters, Universal Rubber Filter direct from K&N what improvements can we expect with that ?
*In 6 months i can tell : the front brake is simply a piece of *** it works well if you don't go faster than 70 kmph, after that speed any emergency brake is quite dangerous, the brake is so soft (the rear brake is doing the job properly) :
What could i do to improve it, should i change the Caliper, if so what brand / model should i use ? Also and except Kitaco is there any other brand who made some alternative Brake pads ?
*Is there any interest to upgrade the ECU / Injector with the original cylinder / piston ?, what about changing the valve by setting the one available from Yumimashi ?
*Last question, except air filter and exhaust, without talking about light bore kits, what else could be changed in order to improve the performances ?
Thanks all for your help, and once again, i'll answer to any question if i can.
