Agreed... and sometimes it costs much cheaper as well......

Hmmm, I would not say cheaper, how of course its much faster.

As the waiting time really kills man, if can get more khakis and orders together then maybe can save some on the freight cost.

 

I just got a new air filter and the cover for $134, directly from US.

[adr77]

you got mail atlantic. I bought mine at ASP Serangoon.

 

Now oni 300+km so not much to say accept I am still not accustomed to the engine braking effect (so strong) as I have been on scooters for 6yrs. There is oso this diesel engine sound which makes u wonder if this is norm??

[william_liu]

Here's a website that may help 650 riders... think there's a much greater number of 650 riders in the States compared to S'pore..

 

 

If it's not too troublesome, may I know the price for info as well?

Any problems with the 650 so far??

So far so good for mine, just that the K6 and the K7 got the auto windshield adjustment, and also the K7 colour is very beautiful.....

Its so tempting, if I got the extra cash I might get the K7.....

I think so long as you take care of your bike, shouldn't have much problem.

I came across the forum in US, something like, USA Burgman. there is this part that quote the engine oil overflow to the crankcase area, so I send mine in to 2 bikeshop for a check, and both said that they can't find any problem at all.

 

Then I send in again after a trip to KL, and there isn't any over-flow problem.

So I not such what the US guys mean, maybe there are some effect on certain batch, that I'm not sure, so long as mine are fine:cry:

Yup the engine brake is definately stronger then the smaller CC scooter, but its should not be that strong that you feel uncomfortable.

 

I went down to ASP to change some of the parts that is under warranty, and they rode mine after fixing it up and commented that mine is so much smoother compare to and one which they just got in, I can't remember the plate number, all I know is that Its start with FX42XX, the sales man commented that that one have very strong engine brake.

 

Got to ride yours then will know if its smoother then mine:sweat:

For those looking for a cheap Burgman 400 K1 see here.

 

Anyway does anyone have access to a 99-02 model parts manual for the Burgman 400? Want to check if the rear shock is the same for K2 and K3... cos got chassis change.

Interestingly enough, I've just come across a thread in the burgman USA site about their mufflers having to have things coming loose internally.

 

The greatest thing was that my muffler may be having the same shitty problem. The time when my bike was being repaired by my mechanic, i was told that the internal pipe was loose, rattling occasionally when my bike was started. Time to look hard at my pipe...... oh poor me...

HI BURGMAN OWNERS, ME TOO i AM TEMPTED TO GET A BURGMAN , BUT SOME OF THE SHOPS ADVISING ME AGAINST IT, SAYING THAT IT IS PROBLEMATIC ETC...., I KNOW IT MAY BE BIAS TO HEAR FROM THE OWNERS BUT THEN TO BE FAIR , I SHOULD TOO,

ARE THERE ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS BIKE EXCEPT AS I HAVE READ PAST PSOT EO DISAPPEARING

HOPE THAT YOU GUYS CAN HELP !!!!

Brother,

Relax dont need to post in full caps

 

Problematic or not i would say depends on how the riders take care of the bike.

I personally think its not that bad as compare to my previous rides.

 

However, if u must go for a bike which cant go wrong at the moment, u can also consider the SW400.

Icic.... ouch..... so now no rattling sound?

 

For me the sound is still bearable, just afraid that it might overheat the exhaust n melt the end cap like it did for the guys in the US.

For me personally I haven't encountered any problems with my K3 after riding it for 1 1/2 yr.. EO loss dun consider as a problem I think.. Had a noisy rear wheel but it turned out to be a worn out bearing, wear and tear.. Other then that it's just twist and go for me.. Still the only think I hate about the bike is that pillion cannot hug the rider.. Takes away so much joy from those tian mimi ride..

interestingly, i have this prob too!

when i gt the bike.. it was noisy, cz of the rattling.

took it down to 494 for a full insp upon transfr from the old owner.

 

it was a loose nut to hold onto the exhuast frame.

its quite hard to reach. botak took abt 20min.

not countin the fact that the exhuast still hot.

 

tink its a commmon prob, due to the strong vibrations.

You mean quiet?

 

Should be bah... all in the holiday mood....

 

Anyway really feel like getting the oil consumption problem solved once and for all before looking for other mods...

 

Otherwise no point enhancing the ride, will probably go for a MP3 400cc or Gilera 500cc three-wheeler when they come out...

 

Lol.... going for tricycles now eh.....

 

Anyway i haven't been able to do the oil filter thing cos my mech said that there wasn't enough space to fit the bottle in. Unless you can find a place to put the bottle? I didn't want to drill an extra hole in my airbox so i wanted to stick to the original inlets and outlets.... They're too close to put anything in between and secure safely....

I was thinking there is space behind the box, near the rear right hand side signal light....

Wah, tats abit far to be routing the breather output to the airbox isn't it?

 

Tink you'll have to find a way to secure the tubing as well if thats the case..... Or else the vibrations will make the tubings come off in a jiffy.....

[Terrible One]

I keep dreaming of how my Birger will look after the makeover.. now see already very depressed.. I wanna change my handlebar, dunno the KSR110 handle can use or not.. Wanna make it like Type-S liek that.. My wind screen comdamn already cos kena brake fulid, my mech say can cut.. So prob gonna cut and tint it.. Maybe even drill hole and put the side mirrors on the windscreen.. But firast must wait long long form y parts to come

Now my breather tube use the screw type metallic holder to keep in place, so far no problem... and the tube is already quite long, so need another similar tube to route from oil catch bottle/tank to the airbox....

Here's the bar. Swee bo?
