Hi, Anyone got any pics of a S4 with a HID installed? Just wanna see how diff is it. Any? Thx in advance.

anybody here installed a HID kit into a S4 before? care to share some photos on how it shines? especially spec1/2. Thx. Just wondering.

does your coolant level drop every 2 weeks in the reservoir? Mine does..but no coolant leaks to be found anywhere anytime.... is this normal ?

just a question... when k&t does carb wash & tune...what tuning does he do?....coz my s4 has a problem where on initial acceleration from start, there is a lag before the power comes in....i've washed my carbs just a 2/3 mths back..also just clean my air filter 2wks ago...any ideas?

good as a sticky..and best with more DIY's from fellow bikers.. Good job bro..

hi guys, for those installed the horns themselves, where did u put the fuse and relay? Will it get wet? anybody willing to give some pointers on installation onto a S4? I just want to know if u connected the horn supply wires to the fuse box or just lay the wire from the battery terminal --- fuse holder ----horn? Another thing, the fuse used is an automotive fuse or just a normal fuse (from shop eg..)? I have decided to install them myself coz of the $$ Thx in advance

just purchased a new set of BT 020 for my s4 - 120/160 for $280 w/ balancing. So far quite nice compared to my old M1. Much stable on straight & absorbing bumps especially road strips. Waiting to see my consumption & the wet weather.

Currently using a Sportec M1 but wearing out, need to change...actually thinking of Pirelli Diablo....M1 is a very good tyre but thought of trying something new....ANy idea how much for the Roadtec?

can someone help to add component price lists for horns?

hi guys, does K&T sell stebel magnum horns..electric ones? if yes..how much?. Thinking of changing my lousy horns to one that matches a car.

hi guys, wanna ask if capitol building car park is the so called "Capitol Carpark" based on sign board. Its located opposite the church right behind capitol building ? just curious, i used to park there, now long time nvr ride, so not sure now.

today, decided to go there (hougang point) during lunch time...it's freeeee... lotsa bike parking....

hi guys anyone knows if bike parking in Hougang Point is free?... Also in Suntec city, which parking entrance is it for bikes?? the one in front of the convention ctr entrance?

well mate, i guess it's a standard air filter, coz usually i get them cleaned every month..didin't need to change it (coz cleaning it regularly will be good enough unless it's very dirty and degrades the air intake)...that air filter lasted me quite a while even till i sold my bike...it ran very good w/o problems, so why change something that's not faulty. I wasn't sure bout the type of filter they use (probably can check the manual) coz mostly i go to Boon Siew to service..as they know my bike upside down (after providing them experience on my type of bike!).. (make sure u leave just a little bit of petrol in the tank, or else u guys are gonna suffer removing the tank to access the filter) - very tricky. if u want u can go to Boon Siew ask ask them to do it...they'll know how to (if that tall skinny specy chinese mechanic still there - not sure of his name- ask him...) well no worries. JV

so finally u're selling u're bike. What's going on?...thought u were one of the few Vara fans (like i was too)...

Hi guys, just want to say 'keep up the good work' on keeping the XL125 image ....seems like the bike has gotten lotsa fans ever since 2001... Hi vt125, Looks like things are well with what i've been reading...Really miss that bike. very good bike. well take care and drive safely u guys . Mini-dero out.

Feels like that this bike is going pretty famous in sg roads now.....maybe becoz of the reviews and experiences that we had on this bike. Good to hear more ppl are opting for a safer bike and more stable bike comparing to a speedy and noisy 2T bikes (No offence, guys!)....

since you sold ur varadero125.. so what bike are u riding now? a 4 wheel drive that can carry 30 ppl... ..hehe i'm going on an overseas assignment for a yr.....kinda miss the feeling of having a good trustable bike..

wow..ex man....i was only charged $600 for 1st party (from AXA) and i'm 25.

All New For 2003: Introducing the all-new FJR1300 - and with it an all-new class of machine: the supersport-tourer, where open-class sportbike power and chassis performance meets the luxurious comfort levels usually reserved for touring machines. Engine: Compact, lightweight 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled in-line four-cylinder engine delivers massive power and torque (145 hp @ 8500 rpm and 93 ft.-lbs. of torque @ 6000 rpm, respectively) for an unequaled spread of muscle over a wide RPM range. This state-of-the-art mill has been constructed using much of the advanced technology found on the YZF-R1 powerplant, including an R1-derived one-piece cylinder and crankcase assembly, which provides tremendous engine rigidity that's lighter and stiffer than two-piece designs. Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight frame design. Compact slant-block engine design uses stacked, tri-axis gearbox shafts that help minimize powerplant size while optimizing chassis geometry for a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution. Lightweight forged pistons with carburized connecting rods provide superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass for outstanding high-rpm durability. Patented electroplated ceramic composite cylinder bores ensure greater heat dissipation and thus reduced frictional power loss. New-design high-compression four-valve cylinder heads are operated by compact, side-driven double-overhead camshafts, and for strong, dependable high-rpm performance the plated cylinders feature oversquare dimensions of 79 x 66.2mm. Advanced electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is ideal for long-distance supersport-touring, delivering crisp, seamless throttle response in a variety of altitude/weather conditions, enhanced fuel efficiency and instant, choke-free starting. EFI system features TPS, which monitors throttle position and, in conjunction with a battery of sensors (air intake temperature/pressure, atmospheric pressure, coolant temperature, crankshaft position and engine rpm), ensures precise injection intervals and timing for optimal performance. New-design, low-vibration crankshaft features two gear-driven secondary counterbalancers with built-in shock absorbers that help deliver a glass-smooth ride with reduced rider/passenger fatigue. Constant-mesh 5-speed transmission utilizes wide ratios to deliver relaxed long-distance touring performance combined with seamless power and acceleration. Special scissors-type primary driven gear helps prevent backlash while greatly reducing transmission noise. Light-action hydraulic multi-plate wet clutch provides smooth, effortless shifting, minimizing both rider fatigue and maintenance. Gear shift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting. All-new shaft final drive system is super-durable and virtually maintenance-free, and uses new-design mechanical cam dampers in its drive pinion for quieter, smoother power delivery to the rear wheel. New-design 4-into-1-into-2 stainless steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the powerband and features a three-way catalytic converter and Air Induction System, making this one of the cleanest-running large-capacity motorcycle engines ever built. Wet-sump oil system uses a new, easy-access cartridge-type oil filter mounted on the engine's left side. Chassis/Suspension: Hollow cast aluminum frame, featuring massive, widely spaced twin spars, is incredibly light and extremely rigid, the perfect combination for sharp, sportbike-like handling. Fully detachable aluminum subframe helps keep weight down while permitting easier rear shock access/maintenance. Lightweight, cast aluminum swingarm's unique design incorporates the shaft drive into its left side, ensuring superb rigidity with reduced unsprung weight that delivers incredible handling and suspension performance. Fully adjustable (preload, compression and rebound damping) 48mm Soqi front fork with 5.4" of travel provides quick, responsive steering with excellent rider feedback in a wide range of conditions. Adjustable (preload and rebound damping) 46mm link-type rear shock with 4.8" of travel features a handy, two-stage (hard/soft) preload adjustment lever that allows the rider to switch quickly between solo and two-up settings. YZF-R1-derived dual 298mm front disc brakes with one-piece 4-piston calipers and 282mm rear disc brake with a slide-type dual-piston caliper provide outstanding stopping power with exceptional feel. Cast-aluminum 3-spoke wheels wear sporty-spec 120/70-ZR17 front and 180-55-ZR17 rear Metzeler radials perfectly suited to both spirited solo riding and long-range trekking. Adjustable, 5-position front brake lever. Additional Features: Highly aerodynamic full fairing is highlighted by an electrically adjustable windscreen that can be easily raised for greater wind protection or lowered for a sportier profile via a handlebar-mounted switch. Equally sleek tailsection helps reduce drag and features a sturdy rear luggage rack/passenger grabrail. Subframe-fitted quick-release luggage mounts provide easy use of the standard accessory hard sidecases, which come with removable inner bags and are conveniently matched to the ignition key. Long dual seat features two-part construction using different foam densities for the front and rear sections, ensuring plush comfort for both rider and passenger. Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity, 6.6-gallon fuel tank offers excellent comfort and range, and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tankbags. High-tech instrument panel delivers comprehensive display that includes an electronic analog speedometer and tachometer (both with a lightweight, R1-type step motor); LCD digital odometer, dual tripmeters, fuel and coolant temperature gauges, and clock; and lights for neutral, high beam, turn signals, low oil and engine warnings. Sleek, R1-type cat-eye dual 12V 60/55-watt multi-reflector headlight throws an extremely broad beam for superb visibility. Powerful, new-design dual-bulb taillight features integrated turn signals for a slick, one-piece look that's as aerodynamic as it is conspicuous. Standard toolkit located in convenient storage compartment under passenger seat.
