uncle's bike uber not nice

[harukikujo]

my uncle recently just passed his bike to me, and the appearance of the bike is like 3/10. i was just wondering, hw much would it cost to replace everything, eg,

1. footrest (rubber footrest coming off)

2. clutch (once press, the clutch will be stuck and must manually push out)

3. brakes (brakes nvr eat sia)

4. tyres,

5. fairings (no scratches, just some batman stickers which is atrocious - probably just want some new paint work)

6. exhaust pipe (super rusty)

7. chain (old and dirty)

8. rear mirror (very dull light)

 

 

roughly anyone knows how much it is?

 

ps: btw, the bike is a KR. and you might probably think i shud get a new bike, but it's a gift from my uncle, so i must treasure and appreciate what he has given me.

1. footrest (rubber footrest coming off)

$180 for yoshimura footrest.

 

2. clutch (once press, the clutch will be stuck and must manually push out)

might be clutch cable problem. anyway clutch cable $8

 

3. brakes (brakes nvr eat sia)

$20

 

4. tyres,

$140 battlax front + rear

 

5. fairings (no scratches, just some batman stickers which is atrocious - probably just want some new paint work)

the feeling after money well spent to revive a 3/10 bike = priceless

 

 

since ur new and looking at the state u mentioned,i suggest adding the top overhaul as well. ur engine will feel like new and wont give u probs in the near future. the cost i added in include labour charges unless u diy everything.

"the feeling after money well spent to revive a 3/10 bike = priceless"

 

well said dude. hahaha!

 

but there's a slight problem, i'm afraid of going far from my home, i'm staying at woodlands and ah boy is like sooo far from here. any lobang to fix near woodlands area?

 

maybe i just change the essential stuff first like brakes and especially the clutch. really cannot make it la the clutch.

 

and last question, i wonder hw long would it take to service like that?

thanks bro for the tip. just to make sure, hw much if i need to change the bearings?

[hellsfury]

i think its 12 bucks per bearing. im not sure how many krr has, but most probably is 1 front 1 rear. shud be less then 30 for all. cone bearing at the most is 60-80. wad i did for my 2 b bike last time was buy parts from jb at cheaper price( i took bus lol)

Also check your front forks for any leaks. Not many people realise front forks and rear suspension is important. It affects your riding a lot.

 

Just remember to top up 2T every 2 weeks and you're fine.

 

Moto confirm takleh meletop nyer...
