i think could be the trottle'grip too near the switch box... or the cable all the way to carburtor lack of lubricant, or the spring recoil for the trottle to return either rusty or broke... so BTw when will the malaca makan trip be? or any near by Sg gathering?

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.

Actually tat was wat i had in mind since T-max headlight is oso big enough.

i will dismantle for inspection this weekend, if really need to change then will place order for new throttle cables, cos if bring to shop, maybe they will ask me to change everything until the carb instead

 

Regarding malacca, its just an idea ony, nothing concrete at the moment yet. Will let u noe again.

it is always very important to wash away all the old dirty grease & repack it with the correct amount of grease, if not the rollers portion will be very noisy & also wear out faster, learn tat when i dismantle my own variator unit to inspect. Previous mechanic din follow spec when doing the job

u are rite, sometime might be very simple solution, but then think until so complex to the carb there.......

[Swing 7777]

[Guest cheeko]

Wah power power... cheeko can i join you this weekend for your servicing of your Max? I'm just F***ing curious in knowing how t-max' internal looks like.. & learn to maintain.. you staying west area?

[Guest cheeko]

u see me too up already, my is the carb version, so is easy to diy, everything very basic. No error code or diagnostic stuff required. Urs i dun have the parts or service manual, i dun even noe the requirements to set. Wait anyhow diy screw up the bike or electronics even worse. If u can get ur hands on the service manual, maybe i can help abit. Maybe u can ask nakano since he's riding the FI version.

 

By the way, wana join for the silverwing meetup this fri?

Qrancshion, the tmax external looks like a scooty with fairings on, but when u dismantle it is complicated inside, more like a hyrid between motorcycle & scoot. But chasis, engine layout everything more towards a motorcycle, u should have notice when u saw my DIY photos. the only difference is a short belt for primary drive. Final drive is chain.

[Guest cheeko]

adr77, will u be joining the silverwing meetup this fri? so we can see whether is the tmax the headlight protector shape able to fit onto urs or not.

[adr77]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm Shamsul from KL. Just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself. I got myself a Tmax at the end of last year and I'm riding it everyday especially to/fro work about 70km a day. I hope to join the very interesting discussions here.

 

Thanks.

Regards,

Shamsul

 

p/s: Cheeko, madtmax a.k.a. tokscoot tells me that I have you to thank for getting the parts I need. He's been very helpful. Thanks to you both.

Some of my disc brake bolts started to rust already. Time to change those screws, if not next time jam inside can't take out worse.

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/9648/p4210985resizeyf9.jpg

 

Very dirty brake calipers. And also has shown rusting on the brake piston.

This the condition of my rear, much better shape cos i use the front brakes more.

Looks very dirty with lots of dirt & brake dust, but overall still in good condition
