A few buyer interested in my bike, they will be viewing it next week, but I know they will surely want to bring down the price further, so the transaction may not go through.

 

If really soemone took over my bike then I sell you the shock lor, definitely will improve the handling once set up properly, no more bouncy ride when going through humps and pot holes.

 

The shock is the same as my gsxr750 last time, a direct fit for bandit400. I ever go through a dead dog at 140km/h (2nd link) on my old bike and I only felt a slight jerk.

Oh man, I did have a better thermostat and housing shipping here from US.

 

The thermostat on my bike I have open it up and cleaned before, color change from dark brown to silver after I srub with fine steel wool.

I dunno how much is it, its still for bid on ebay, I'm still the higher bidder at the moment (4hrs towards end of auction).

 

I know you bought a new suspension from ebay too, because the seller of the thermostat thought I were you who make the payment to him. But I have clarify with him he got it wrong.

Chee Teck: Please park at 5B (no vehicle there during daytime, but there are no motorcycle parking lot on that floor, hopefully dont kana summon if park there)

 

Personally I have park there a few time with canvas covering my bike and there is no prob.

 

4A got motorcyle lot but pushing your bike up to 5B with 3 box will be quite "Siong".

 

I will be in malaysia tomorrow, back at night time. I have no auto roam SMS me after 10pm if there is any doubt

I think I saw u at 2nd link last nite. R U d one riding a Black colour bandit?

guys... moving the thread to the correct forum ah... bike specs and reviews...

no offence bros...

[chee_teck]

Hi all,

Thanks to Gary & Simon, my bike just gone tru a very successful major DIY session. Below are the things done with cost:

 

1) Change of top gasket (valve cover gasket) - Cost of gasket is $25, 6 mini seal gasket costs $2 each - KS Motorcycle

 

2) Stator cover gasket - Cost $7 (impromtu item as we found the gasket had plastic) - KS Motorcycle

 

3) Coolant ($5.50) & High temp Gasket maker or sealant ($4.50) - from hardwareshop at Alexandra village

 

4) Valve clearance check (set to mid)

 

5) Cleaning and flushing of coolant parts - radiator pump, radiator, reserve container & changing of hose clips to new SS clips

 

Now bike feel more powerful & smooth. And the sound of exhaust is more "continuous" hehe....Will report to u guys of the fuel consumption aspect of this exercise.

 

Next thing to do for next DIY session:

1) Tune carb, change worned/scratched jet needle

2) Change brake fluid, housing and pad - maybe hose too

3) Speedo bulb

4) Headlight kill switch

5) Horn

6) Suspension installation (Gary & kenneth maybe)

7) hazard lights

 

We end at bout 6pm today. Sorry bout the weird timing. next time will try to arrange a time of convenience again so tht we can meet up together and learn more from each other....today definately had been a very fruitful day for me hehe

 

 

Thanks again to the two sifus for helping, teaching n guiding along today. Also for the resQ mission, u two deserve a Pasir gudang cheese crab again

 

kenneth

Never stop learning...

Kenneth look for Jimmy at Mayo street (Wooden Shade on right just before the Mosque) for all the electrical modification, this guy is expert in bike electrical.

 

Call him at 92726933/96409188 before going, because he 'one man show' only sometime he may not be around.

Funny. Why would he think that?

 

I bought the shocks but it was not for my bandit.

And for my bandit, I tried to bid for a 92 gxr 750

racing shocks two weeks ago but the highest bid

got so high and I backed off. Not enough funds.

 

At first I thought you have bought your shocks here

in Singapore thats why i asked. Anyways, thanks

for the info.

 

Did you win the bid for the shocks?

I was watching the yahoo auction too, never come across any gsxr shocks. The one you got is the 93 gsxr 750 shock with remote reservoir?

 

How did you change the rear shock, is it loosen up the top and bottom mounting bolts of your old shock first. Can I just use the main stand or need a car jack to jack it up before removing the whole shock from the bike?? Any things I should take note when removing and installing the new shock?
