Do remember to maintain good lubrication and tension on your chain/sprocket too.

Heard from a friend that his chain snapped in Malaysia highway. Almost met his maker.

You really do not want to allow your chain to cause your bike to jam. Perhaps locking the wheels (if unfortunate enough), helping you taste the ground (at top speed).

A little investment on precaution goes a long way in saving you the trouble to "heal up".

cheers!

WhitePhantom SG

daniuge SG

in industrial park, i was turning left, went onto a sewage cover, buang. those cover very slippery.

ah_tee SG

esp zebra crossings makings

I honestly feel that even the best tyres perform poorly (may be just as poor as the cheap ones...) when the road is wet.

You are actually paying for grip only during "optimum" conditions.

Had my first skid & crash on a scrambler. It was just after a light drizzle. Not enough even to wet your shirt. But that is another story...

cheers!

think have to be extra careful on metal roads where they are having construction. even the little metal cover for the drain is enough to make u lost control of your bike.. for me dont really ride when raining.. but if have to i'll go and 50, max 60. maybe kia si abit but no choice rite...

It’s been raining quite frequently, so please be careful when on the road. No matter what type of tyre you are using….. be safe than sorry.

What kinda tyres do Phantom200 have in the after market categories? Many campmates riding Phantom200 and they’re a bit tired of the IRC. Any good affordable but gripping tyres for Phantom200? What’s the size and profile of the front and rear? Tyre pressure?

Hi! Gals and Gals!

I do agree with all of U regarding the stupid IRC tyres!!!
I change my to Perillis (I think that is how it spell ...nvr check).

Very good in gripping and very good in picking up speed due to the good grip. Affordable too.

I change both of the tyres at LAB for $140.. I believe can get it cheaper if U get it straight from Derrick or Darren.. (Warning.. Get the service from the gentlemen rather from the other gender so as to have better deal.. if U know what I mean.. Sorry but No offence to the other gender.. OK?? Embarassed )

Well.. I got my straight from the Mechanic from the workshop of LAB as he advised me to change due to the useless IRC.. He might get afew bucks out from it though but I do not mind since the service is good and friendly. : ) Quite happy about it eventhough I waited for abt 3hrs... erghh..... Smile

The tyres have since then serve me well and very happy with it as I have experienced a few sharp turnings which the IRC will definitly fail to accomplish..

Still ...warning for everyone... Do not take everythings for granted... Slow down if U think there is danger upfront... esp when raining... REMEMBER... Slipper when wet..... hehhe Mr. Green

Best Regards
