yet to check...should be in the 350-400 range

 

dude...don't you think spending $350-$400 on a pair of off-rd tyres are alittle over splurging the cash?

It last faster,and cost so much more for your trailie.

 

if you really want to do serious off-roading,i think you're better off getting a cheap dirtbike...o_O

Gong Xi Fa Cai Al Simmon. I have been following this forum and finally will like to join in as well. My name is James and a new owner of a 650cc V strom. Very very good bike indeed. I must say that I have made a right choice like all other owners.

 

Seriously, this bike is overly "oversight" by the bike critics, who are more interested in all out sports bike only.

 

A slight mishap that day, my bike toppled over and fortunately nothing really serious happen, no scratches except for a broken clutch lever and the left side signal. (Heart ache considering the bike is just 1 week old). I understand it is easier and cheaper to purchase the parts in Singapore. Can anyone recommend me the best shop in Singapore to purchase the parts? How much is the approx. cost?

Are the parts readily available or waiting period is needed for the shipment?

 

Many thanks in advance for anyone who can assist.

 

Thanks again.

hmm....would you rather ride hard and crash on a cheap dirtbike without worrying on broken parts and suffer only minor cuts and abrasion to yourself or ride very very slow and crash those fairings and what's not on those 230++kg bike with a terrible dislocate collar bones,or any bones in you?

 

which would you still consider priceless?

Ask lilfarhan...which one is more fun...riding fast on dirtroad with a light dirtbike or riding slow on a big heavy trailie?well...although his big heavy trailie is a vara125 for that matter....:dozed:

 

 

well...you don't know how fast you could achieve with a big trailie on the dirt...but even though you could achieve it,in the end,it's just another same ol stuff you will be going through.no throphies,no victory...it wil end up either fun,or plain stupidity if you look at a wider angle...

Happy new year.

The parts here are cheaper. Why not u list down the parts that you want and i can give the local distributor a call and check the price and availability.

Let us know if you are coming down here. We can meet up and have coffee. :cheers:

Lucky you only had the clutch lever broken. You can go planet motor, his agent price is better than going to Distributor Guan Hoe in Rangooon Road.

It is the clutch lever and the brake light.

 

Will be great if we can meet up. I have not made any plans yet when will I be going down. As for the parts I may seek the assistance from my colleagues in Singapore to purchase the parts from where you will recommend. Cheekoon suggested Planet motor, so I will try there.

Sorry Al-Simmon. Typing error. It is the signal light, not the brake light.
