Hey all,

Curius to see how many of you guys in Japan ride your bikes around the scenic routs in japan ? I'm a bit of a fan of fitness and I think riding your bike around Japan is a great way of seeing the beautiful country. do many of you experience this ?

found an awesome webpage http://www.kancycling.com/Destinations/Des...stinations.html

with routes and destinations for bike riding.

I don't but I have been riding to work for the past 5years...something I probably wouldn't do in Aust, so I think it's great. I prefer to take drives and have seen some very beautiful country, then when I arrive take out my foldup bicycle for a ride around the area.

But I have 3 mates who do cycling around the Kansai, Chugoku and Shikoku regions during the holidays...in fact you tend to meet other foriegners cycling around too. A mate met his canadian wife this way ;)

I'm the opposite - since moving to Japan I hardly ever use my bicycle. It's way too hot and humid in the summer and in the winter too cold and windy. But if you don't mind the weather and the hard work involved in cycling up/down numerous mountains, then a bicycle is a great way to see rural Japan...

Hehehe - got to wonder how many bikes are stolen each year by drunk salary men, who aint got a clue which bike is theirs after one too many drinks...

I've seen on two occassions guys smashing the hell out of a bicycle lock outside an izakaya only to realize later they were trying to unlock the wrong bicycle! :P:) :)

Yeah, but it is weird - in a country where crime is very low, bicycles are stolen all the time...

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
