[Group] YAMAHA RXZ

[lurhaf]

Thanks xaviervax.. other than that, in terms of bike wise?

[xaviervax]

Nothing really much . Just ride n see bike condition if 2nd hand. If first hand run- in i guess? remember to pump petrol . buy 2T . nothing much actually. Just basically look out for bike condition . thats all.

You can ask your mech actually they would normally tell u what to do all this. And what to look out for.

[faris]

@lurhaf check if the 2T pump is working. Remove the 2T filter if there's any (most FS or FT plate rxz have them it looks like a small black colour bottle on the right of your bike) check the wheel bearings and brake lights and horns. Then check bodyframe number and engine casing number if it matches. Either then that seee if your exhaust is loud or not. And lastly make sure to duplicate your keys!!

Some info for you guys planning to go over to thailand


Special thanks to Fib for posting this . Just want to share with you guys.
Saw this when reading thur his 1 Man Biking to Hatyai





If you have never drive your own vehicle thru the Thai borders before, read this post carefully. I've searched extensively through online forums and blogs to get an idea of what needs to be done. But no one actually described the process carefully.

See the form above. Its the most important to you next to getting your passport stamped.

Go the the little control office set to the side of the checkpoint. Its usually located somewhere near the toilets for your convenience.

Get an immigration form from the Thai personnel there.

Fill in the details as usual.

Do not queue up like bus passengers for the normal immigration clearance.

You are vehicle owner so you queue at the vehicle booths. Yes, it don't make sense but that how you, the vehicle owner clear your immigration.

As SG passport holder, you are advised to slip in RM2 somewhere in the passport as a tip. The Thai customs officer will not stamp your passport unless he sees that RM2.

There may be questions from him. But nothing to trouble you so far.

(MY passport only need RM1. SG passport RM2. Dun argue.)

Show him your LTA Log card. (The vehicle particulars from onemotoring.com.sg is enough. Just make sure all the vehicle and owner's details is inside the print-out, identifying you as the owner.)

He will not do anything to the LTA log card. You just need to show him this LTA log card.

When your passport is stamped for entry, go to the last booth in the place. You will see a lot of drivers queueing up with their log cards. Join them.

Show your passport and log card to the lady. She may seek some clarifications about your vehicle but the LTA printout should be sufficient.

She will give you the blue colour form above. (Without the chopped stamp.)

At this point, dun be blur-sotong like me and happily go off.

(Yup... I just happily rode off with an unsigned customs declaration form....)

Go to the next window in the same booth. Sign your John Hancock on two places in the form. (They pasted a handy sample form next to the window for your reference).

The 3rd officer will sign and chop the form. Just like above.

Keep this form close to you at all times.

You may be able to leave Thailand with your vehicle even if you lose this form.

But you will never be able to come back to Thailand without paying a massive fine.

Look at my form, my penalty fee is 600,000 baht! That's SG25k!!

wah seh quite ma fan uh..but thanks a lot for the info man..i wonder what will happen to those who never slip in RM2 @_@

bro out of curiousity uh..why must remove the 2t filter? isnt having a filter good?

[LoudnessFz]

bro out of curiousity uh..why must remove the 2t filter? isnt having a filter good?

if air filter can still understand why must put..but if u see from where the 2t come from...why is there a need to filter?unless u put dirt and sand inside the 2t compartment then of course la...other than that dirt wont really easily go in..

it comes to basic..yamaha didnt come out on 2t filter since rxz was released until now so i dnt think theres a need.

lastly,having that filter may constrict the 2t flow,and may just cut off 2t supply altogether if its blocked and cause seizure.

its a redundancy...dont need it.

[xaviervax]

Besides Ban Hong Leong @ Kitchener Road
and one in desker road.


Sourcing for some unimportant parts for my bike.

[xaviervax]

Hehee not only you wanna learn diy . I also wanna learn DIY. Feel like opening out my block n carb to do some polishing. ~.~

[musibot]

hey sorry guys got some prob w my meter.

recently just bought an original meter from the scrapyard. was quite happy to change to an original one. the thing is guys, the speed meter is really not accurate. i ride about 70+km/hr and it shows me 90-100km/hr. it doesnt feel 90-100km/hr at all. and also my friend riding beside me, my speed meter is always higher. he ride around 90km/hr, my meter shows 110km/hr alr. last time i used a local meter and it its about the same problem, only that the speed meter not so "rabak" shoot until so high. hope bros can help with this :/ rpm is reasonably okay.

thanks!

[xaviervax]

? u using 17" rim is it ? haha. Did you change your speedo cable?

ban hoe leong can get ori piston and everything for 40+ 50+ i forgot..rebore only $12..waiting time depends on the workshop if got many block to rebore u have to wait..but normally about less than 2 hours i think..they take ur block and rebore elsewhere..

but for me just buy the piston and polish block a bit and just use the same size piston no need to rebore..ride ur bike until seize then rebore..block size is precious..try not to rebore unless the scratch inside jialat like seizure scratch...sorry donno what term to use other than scratch..haha

for small bike how they calculate the speed is through rim size,the cable located at front rim,if ur using 17" rim for sure therell be offset,not sure for 18",u cant rely on ur fren that much also and what bike is he riding?because his speedo might not be accurate too,and if ur comparing with bigger bikes such as S4,better dont.. S4's speedo are more inaccurate than small bike..coz they depend on sprocket size.

haha thats one of the fear i always face on other stuff besides bike. Fix back everything end up something will spoil.

aiya learn from that lah...last time i open up and fix back my block also nobody teach me..trial and error..then my carb slider spoil..plus a thing or two idk how to fix back block after opening up..then i call my fren ask him to teach me over the phone..hahaha

stuffs u wanna learn,u have to be brave to explore..no pain no gain!

Bro . what are the stuff you changed before? Like rim size all that? and did you change a new speedo cable? Or your front rim the speedo in the hub there not good already?

You guys perfer where? Simpang Bedok / Kampong glam Cafe / Geylang / Jalan Kayu / Or gimme more suggestion . Time will be 6.30pm? If you guys want it later or eariler please inform me also.

Hi guys for spareparts first place you need to go to is united motor along rowell road beside weda. Then further up is auto machinery. United price is fairly cheap. Like main jet is $5 auto is $8. But auto machinery mostly carry the japan parts. So you need to ask carefully if its malaysia or japan.

DIY your rxz: ive done many diy projects myself important thing is to make sure what ever you take you put back!! Some screws are long some are short. And some is facing up some facing down. Before beginning to open up your bike buy the top gasket and bottom block gasket. And make sure all your tools are complete. Open up your block using a socket wrench. Size 12 or 14. The tricky part is to take out the piston clip. You need to be careful not to let the clip fly. Open one clip will do then the piston rod can be taken out then you take out your piston lah. Clean or polish do what ever you want with it. But most importantly people take out piston is to change the piston rings. Changing piston rings will add a little life to your piston. And it will not sound that loud. And its cheaper and easier compared to rebore your block and change to a newer piston. Estimate cost of changing piston ring DIY without plug is $20+ (rings+gaskets) when tightening up the block do it across then across again.

Its not as complicated as it looks !!!

I might be having a DIY session for a friend bike change clutch plate on the 30th April tampines. So those who want to kaypo kaypo can come down lah. Any other DIY session please sms me so i can book a date and help you if iam free. 84797926

rim size is standard, 18". speedo cable and speedo hub is one of the factors too? never check those two. sorry bro noob at this :/ thats why my mileage spins faster :s

[LoudnessFz]

okay now i very confused. haha. my bike piston now can hear very loud already. idk if need to rebore or top overhaul or something. any advice?

piston can hear loud doesnt mean need to rebore..might be ur conrod shaking also...but whatever it is what faris said is true..no need to rebore first..unless ur sound is bcause u seize already..just change piston and polish block will do..

rim size is standard, 18". speedo cable and speedo hub is one of the factors too? never check those two. sorry bro noob at this :/ thats why my mileage spins faster :s

if 18" then got prob..i think something wrong somewhere already..it shouldnt have this prob.

Yea . shouldnt have problem. Maybe your speedo cable give way already? take out the cable n inspect if it looks damaged or anything. And remember to put it back properly it has like a square end it must be directly fix into the hole IF not properly fixed back the cable or the speed thingy inside the hub can be damaged.
