Hey Tashi; wat u mean by that!!!

 

Ok ok... MT say my tick tick sound mostly cause by 'tappet'.

So need to send in for 1day sevice.

 

Now i'm on 20W50 no more mineral oil, but the sound still there.

 

As for the exhaust seen diffcult le, cos they can tell me that All cbr1000rr is like that.(all have the SAME problem)

They trying to tell me No Point Changing cos the new exhuast will have this probelm also.(just matter of time)

I meant you have 2 pointy things sticking out, we don't have. Look at your avatar.

 

What's your mileage? Changed to fully syn so quickly?

[Tashi]

For the cracked fairing issue, to avoid it, make sure your fairing is screwed back properly. The alignment must be right, so it won't create a stress point.

 

Once screwed back, check from the side to see if there's a buldge. Don't over tighten the screws.

 

I had my it on both left and right fairings, and had them replaced.

 

Do not install frame sliders! Once installed, taichi master will make all excuses to say your drilling at the lower frame affected the top frame, even though they are separate pieces.

installed sliders already then come to know bout this...

 

anyway where would the crack suffice on the fairing?

You may want to tighten the exhaust valve plate screw,hear that many a' tick,tick' were known to come from there.

I have posted some pix on this thread, taken on a Sony T1. You'll have to look back.

 

Want to buy my spare camera?

 

Just ensure that the fairing is screwed back properly.

That's a good illustration.

 

But I don't think it's from the exhaust valve. I had it removed when I slipped on the Arrow.

[peter7788]

Had the same "tick,tick" sound on my bike,when I changed to my Yoshi System the sound went away.Checked the standard pipe and found the exhaust valve plate screw to be loose causing "play" on the exhaust valve during idle thus the sound , understand tweedy64's bike running std pipe,she may want to check this out before going for the more expensive option.

 

Anyway HONDA CBR1000RR TAKES TOP 6 PLACES AT SUZUKA 8HRS ENDURANCE RACE (With "Tick,Tick" also no problem).

Yo Rick!

 

U seem to know alot bout cbr1000rr nvr share no lah joking hehe.

 

Friday morning wat time end work? Wanna find out more bout the cats from u

alvin: i'm on long weekend leh... heheheheh

Hello guys, the tick tick sound is back on me when i have been riding damm slow recently cos just kanna 6 points and $150.

So the answer from me is, pls clear your carbon.

Simple.

 

Went down to MT before about this problem and he told me is to do valve clearance.

After further probing, he said can dun do(milleage that time is around 10,000km).

He said do liao the sound will also come back soon.

Not long after, i heard from another friend said MT told him bike must whack at least 15 mintues continueously for 160km/h which opens the 2nd valve to maintain the bike at least once a week.

Thereafter, i did that every petrol session starting from GP Esso to U-turn then to R&R and the tick tick sound never came back for 20,000km till now.

It dun took 15 mins for this distance, but it solved my problem anyway.

 

For those who already got such problems for quite a while, u will require more times and frequent whacking before the sound goes.

Can get the catalyst and STP which Tashi have to help out.

 

Exhuast peeling..... lucky it dun happened to me.

Aftermarket is rather ''accessible'' nowadays.

 

Mid pipe catalyst ah, after i took out, i always heard backfire, like farking all over the road, so pai sei.

Dun like it, so put a PC3.

 

Got so many catalyst ah, should be taking all out when i do a retune.

 

Most importantly, pls do the block off plate.

 

But once you do all this mod except block off plate, u better get a very good tuner to tune ur bike, or u will gonna badly miss the smoothness of your bike.

sad to hear u in the same predicament as me, but i believe u still have 18pts rite. i'm at 4 currently.

 

anyway where is the block off plate located? how much did it cost to remove it?

heard from my mechanic, the catalizer were found in the headers and the most common place is the end-can.... I removed the header catalizers and it sound a little bit different... after that....

 

as for the muffler thingy, i think Ken is the best person to answer this question... let me say it on behalf of him... Ken's advise is u remove the end-can and bring it to SengKuang for them to cut it open, knock out the intestines, and weld it back again.... the welding will look like ur OEM welding, therefore, it will not look like it had been tempered with... it's ard 200bux.... Ken also advised that after the mod, install a PC3 to regulate ur air/fuel mixture, so that the power can be optimised...

 

 

ken: am i right???

 

 

Tashi: wat about the crack on the fairing???? is it on the right side fairing??

hey thanks RickTM, so must cut the pipe n so many catalizer ....

mayb i just wait for henry to come back and ask him do it

thanks alot

hi tashi, mine left n right fairing have crack line already

and the bad thing is it's not boon siew bike

i think i jus have to find another way to patch the crack

thanks for u all help

cheers

[Tashi]

Ken, where did you get caught? How fast were you going?

 

Since our bikes have DSFI (Dual Stage Fuel Injection), we should have an official term called Stage 2 Carbon Clearing (S2CC) session.

 

It can be used as a noun or a verb.

 

Pronunciation:

Ass-2-See (like ecstacy)

 

Noun:

Wanna have an S2CC tonight?

 

Verb:

Wanna S2CC?

 

Mmm, the kind of rubbish I come up with sometimes.

Good luck! Should be easily patchable.

 

Each upper cowl costs S$300 +. One side costs a few cents or dollar more than the other side, as there's a sponge.

Never heard of the exhaust chrome peeling in sg or other foreign forums yet.

Problems heard so far ticking sound,tail light warping/melt,hairline cracked

fairing,magnetic coil burnt & discolouration of the silver lower fairing (right side).

 

Anyway,the peeling of chrome at the exhaust is covered under warranty & so

were the above mentioned problems ! That's what the warranty for !

 

As for the warping of the tail,I'm the 1st bike to complain in sg (according to BS)Only noticed it when washing bike in the 1st week i took the bike !

They will tell u grandfather stories instead of why the paint peeled lah,blablabla..

Chilly, Vermeulen Shoei, Arrow pipe, you are the closest to guessing the mystery Ten Kate rider.
