Oh, I'll try to park on main stand & try again.

But I doubt I'll try to push to the limits again, I don't want to push it along NSH or anywhere in SG.

 

I notice there're 2 brims when u open the fuel cap, I onli pump it till the 1st brim (lower one).

If my memory didn't fail me, I remember that my reserve last me between 55-60km before the bike stall the 2nd time infront of GP esso & I was riding with a heavy right hand

Hi Strommies!

 

Would like to pose a question to those who frequent off roading.. What tyres are recommended? Went to TM last weekend with my stock Trailwing which is almost botak and it was wohohoho... slippery man.. haha..

[Manzz]

Oh no wonder i have been smelling gas whenever i take the vee out for a ride after few days of solitary.. No cure for this eh?

 

normally after you left the bike "untouch" for a few days.

 

 

 

this is the v-strom version of "wet with excitement" after a few days gone without been ridden, be-careful not to bring a naked flame for fear of explosive orgasm.

Trailwing for normal road ok. For off road..Yikes... You can try your hand on common to get Tourance or if got stock you; can try the hard to get Conti Trail among others

[SV650]

Doing my tire shopping. Unique is selling Tourance EXP (newer model for Tourance) @ $400.

change the flexible fuel hose under the tank loh.....about $200 for a period of 2 years then it will come back again...

 

or you can fcuk it and ride or warm up it every alternate days . to relief the fuel pressure in the hose.

 

actually i kind of like the gasoline smell .....

[papabread79]

Tourance EXP is not suitable for off-road. Dont bother.

Im sure there good VEe offroaderr here too...

[chrislayer]

I got K n T to remove the throttle bodies and did some syncronisation, changed to Iridium plugs and now the Vee seems more smooth and responsive than before.

 

anyway all the above was done bcos of my intermittent leak issue so i suggested him to replace the blue/red part which costs 10 bucks. will monitor these few weeks... no leaks so far in the early mornings....
