lolx...I will get it soon bro...Help me ar....

[lost_soul]

Maybe i got a "chui" Spec 1, been spending a lot on restoring... x_X

 

Now want to install a mainstand also cannot, feeling pissed off. haha...

 

Anyway, I just changed my steering cone and the under mounting bracket for the front fork. But my bike is still leaning a bit to the left and right like very unbalance weight on my handle bars. Any advice?

 

My bike i think been through a very bad accident, now then i realised that my radiator been repaired, my front fork pressed before. wonder if the brake disc got wrap a not. And also not sure where to find a second hand good condition front forks.

 

The only good thing is... My FC is 23 - 24km/h, usually riding at 70 - 90km/h, occasionally opening vtec for quick acceleration from traffic lights. haha.

[whyzee]

wa piang actually HID is less consuming than halogen as the Watt lslow than i feel the panel not as hot as halogen

[thepunkz]

recently i went to do flushing and fill it up with new coolant, some unknown coolant. den normally i will check the reservoir for the coolant and it keep getting lower and i realised tat my radiator fins keep having those coolant on it? is it normal?

[whyzee]

nb... the bikeshop uncle tell me," dont install HID la, more "jia dian"..........

tio smoked!!

[cheowseng]

The ballast is used to step up the current for the bulb.

Halogen produces more heat compared to HID as the bulb is charged with Xenon gas(some secondary chem stuff).

A HID bulb acctually needs about 23 000volts, thats where the ballast come in to aid.

 

There is many kind of sizes for HID, frm H1,H3,H4,H7,H8,H9,H11,

H13,9004,9005,9007,880,881 to D2c.

 

For s4 we use H4 size.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong. Done some research way back b4 i fitted mine.

[kurarensu]

u r right..

 

 

btw anyone installed jb's HID? seems quite bright lehs..

JB Hid lamps are expensive. i knw 2 shops who has it. the boss spoke to me personally and was shock when i told them how much i got mine actually.

I wan, i can do a mini mass order.

u mean my profile pic, its a voltmeter. i replaced it with a digital ones alrd.

as for meter light, I scout around and its a normal t10 bulb. most of my stuffs are buy n fix myself. dun like bike shop mechanics to touch.

Sounds like your radiator is leaking.

Looks like the alignment of your bike is off. Get your mech to rectify it. Very uncomfortable riding a leaning bike, isn't it?
