Hi tmaxrians, attach below is the steps & specs to do carburator or throttle body synchronization from my service manual. Anyway i follow back my manual recommended 10,000km & do, so far so good. It not like wat some shops say no need to do.Or some even say last forever. But if u intent to sell away soon then of course no need to bother so much lah.

Stage 1 - DIY belt change

 

Fedup of shops who always complain my scooty belt very hard to change.....blah blah.... And also most of the time shops dun have the proper tools or able to do a good job. Or worst still never follow spec & fix up properly & bike breakdown. Tulan liao, ownself order in special tools & at void deck DIY open up my transmission system.

not really, anyway i have standby all the necessary parts & components for this diy job. I will be cleaning up all the belt dust, grease & dirt, then repack it with new grease. All these kinda things shops won't have the time to do it. Better ownself do it, treat this as a mini project loh!

[madtmax]

Cheeko.. respect

 

What tools did you used and how much the tools cost? I also fed up with shops always complaint hard to open etc etc.. to me just an excuse to charge more only

if u wan, i can help u get those special tools, those normal tools ur side should have. But let me finish up my mini project & i will draw up a list of special tools & their sizes for u. After tat dismantling ur belt will be a breeze. And best thing for me is, the cost of buying all these tools is cheaper then i pay the mechanic for workmanship.

[Guest cheeko]

i remember when silverwing600 just came out & very rare, mechanic also complain very hard & difficult to service lah......blah blah..... nowadays they dun dare to say such things liao

so wen is ur nxt makan trip? sorry for not able to come along 4 ur Ipoh feast.

 

for svc at HL better to call 4 appt or u maybe disappointed. So far only went for run-in oil change for my x YP400. Parts will b a bit x if compared to other sources. If u want TLC on ur bike, this may not b the place.

anybody interested in a headlight protective cover for the tmax. I always run high speed, Kena by small stones chip off, in long run will deteriorate & become blurr. Replacement of the headlight assembly cost abt $470++. i notice motoworld does not have for our bikes, and order in from japan is costly. I'm thinking of fabricating it plus laser engrave with our nicks & bike number plate on it. So whoever steals it will have to reconsider again

Seems like a gd suggestion, but will the cost be pretty high with all the nick and No plate engraved....???

 

[Guest cheeko]

Cost abt $45. Let me noe if whoever interested. I confirm will be need 1nos. This will be a 1 off thing, once done i will not do it again, cos too time consuming & much effort to source around for supplier. And also need to copy out the shape of the lens.

 

Anybody interested just let me noe.

[Swing 7777]

ya,i tink 1 off thing better also...if u guys want just give cheeko a call la..coz tmax in sg not much...so i tink do a 1 off is gd enuff..n very much of a hassle,cheeko dun even charge!

[madtmax]

Cheeko...Count me in!!!

[adr77]

i have check already, dun think the supplier will wana custom-made only 1 piece for burgman650, cos not economy to make. Where else for tmax side we have 4nos, at least not so bad.

 

Or how abt during meetup we see whether ur lens shape similar to mine or not. If same maybe u can use tmax lens protector.
