Harley Enquiry

[Throttle]

Actually need to know the specific sound. We're all bombing our theories. heee. I had a similar sheng sound on my other bike too. Turns out my rear tyre's brakes completely gone and it was rubbing against the whatchamacallit that holds the brake pads.

 

yes, exactly, need to know the specific sound and the source.

if the calipers are already rudding the pads, it is serous time to replace.

 

if you want to know if your rotors are worn, just look closely .

 

the part which is in contact with the pads will be worned deeper than the part which does not contact the pads. so you can guage how much it has worn in.

 

and unevenly worn rotor is more likely to cause squeak then "sheng" unles it is rubbing against somemetal parts which are not meant to be.

[Don Juan]

I'm kinda used to the sheng.. sheng.. sheng sound already.. . Anyway, have just purchased the lowering kit off e-bay. Should be arriving soon. Will bring it to the shop to get it fitted up and get the sound sorted out at one go...

 

Today also damn suey, kenna gum on my shoes. And those are one of my best shoes if i might add. Luckily my bike was spared... what a way to start the weekday.

Solid Brakepads for double front and single back $200

Labor $200 ???

[plasticblackspecs]

Won't 1k la. I think most you will have to spend like $500 or so. And still can do carb wash and valve clearance. hur

Hey, do all you guys do your servicing at the dealership? Eversince i had my bike (about 1 mth already), i do all my servicing at the dealership. Spent about 1k there already As i am awaiting my lowering kit to come, i have heard of this place called Combined Motors and will get it done there plus to have a check on the annoying sheng... sheng... sound my front brake rotor / callipers are creating. The labour charges at the dealership are abit high i find. What do you guys think?

brakepads 150 (two front one rear)

inspection 50 (time of the year, dun wan risk go myself)

labour 50 (cos not i chu the HP)

[plasticblackspecs]

Wah lun, quite high man. Go ask for other quotes?

[armofpeace]

Wah lun, quite high man. Go ask for other quotes?

 

If you can get less than S$1K for all that servicing and stuff for a harley, please let us all know exactly where and which particular workshop you are talking about dear bro????....Coz, i can inform my harley friends to go over since it's cheaper than what we all thought it was...

[plasticblackspecs]

Aiya, you know who I go to what. No need to ask.

[Don Juan]

Aiya, you know who I go to what. No need to ask.

 

Can you PM me who you go to, if its not convenient to say, cos i also want to get my bike fixed up. Thanks PBS.

[lunloon]

Wah lun, quite high man. Go ask for other quotes?

 

in fact, i didn't

 

if i go to a few places for diff stuff, i'll incur a few labour charges

 

anyway for the price, what is expensive in your opinion?

the only thing i found expensive is battery.

could have gone to another place but i dun wan to spend more time running around.'

 

and i know where u go to la, but just too far.

[plasticblackspecs]

Hee. I know what you mean. But why not spread out the servicing? One shot sure heart pain one. Not saying go different places do different things but ask other shops before committing lor. I help u ask la. I going to do my full servicing too. All filters, oils and plugs. I also heart pain. Wheels gonna go soon too. Kaoz

 

I think your wheels and battery can find cheaper I guess. Prob can save a hundred bucks?

 

Don Juan: No prob. Very convenient. Not a secret place also It's Rosli's at Eunos. Again I dunno the exact address. Hahaha. It's behind Singpost. You wanna go I can bring you down and intro you to him.

[plasticblackspecs]

Oh Lun, you have your silencers for your pipes? try lor see if can pass inspection. Or your stock pipes?

I'm kindof like you. I want good, fast service with integrity. Convenience is also important for me. As long I feel that I'm getting good value for my $$ & I am not obviously being carrotted, I don't really mind a higher price.

 

Spending helps the economy

[lunloon]

no idea what the silencer is, but ya i have my stock pipes, and yup, i am just lazy to do myself, plus i haben change exhaust before (though i did dismantled the one on my runner last time to spray). Probably will try to do it the next time round, when i do not need to do any servicing during this period. excuses excuses.

just scared to spoil things beyond my spending means.

[maxxmadness]

PBS, thanks. As i am awaiting my lowering kit to arrive, i won't go there first. I want to check on my front rotors and get the lowering kit fitted at the same time. Don't want to make 2 trips.

[plasticblackspecs]

Ya man. We all what fast heap and good. Erm...ok la, at least I do. I also stingy like flart.

 

Ok lun, will probably go down in a few days time. I'm 300km till 50k. Time to service. Blargh.

 

Sure Don Juan. I have a lot of snake time. hahaha. Just let me know
