look out for awkward sounds like rattling and loose parts, leaking fluid out from the machine, scratches and dents.

Yes, u read correctly that I mentioned the so called "point" is not for motocyle. All it takes is some basic understand what cars have that motobike don't. Even 10 points oso like that and you be surprise it does more harm than good.

 

The next time one does grounding or about to purchase any gagets that says what it claims..best to asked the mototiam how their product works, why it works that way and prove that it works..then once it sounds beliveable to you assuming you have some basic knowledge..then buy the product. If you don't understand what they are saying...save ur $$$s!

 

Thanks Ah Pek for your advice, had received your PM, most likely will contact you end of this month. If your grounding can really further improve than what I had installed now, then I certainly wouldn't mind taking out the gadget that I had installed previously. Thanks again for your response.

im the proud user of ah pek's grounding.. it really makes ur bike more throttle responsive and when going at high speed, handlerbar vibration will b greatly reduced.. worth the every dollar spent..

 

btw ah pek.. u free on fri night? after 8pm? might be going down for ur specially formulated eo change as well as need ur help in taking a look at my brakes ar.. haha

I be out of town and be back only on the 15th of the month. 16th would be more suitable.

How to turn my pole lights on again? Few months back, I went to Aunty and told them I don't want the pole lights. So I dunoe whether they cut the wire or remove the whole thing out. Now, after I changed to flushed front signals, my bike looks awkward without the pole light... Help me!

Could be other problems (overflow, dirty carbs..etc..) but if you feel pipe tio stucked, you go find a straight road late at night or early morning then you drag your bike from 1st onwards lor. bring a friend along just in case bike breakdown so at least he can send you home. Or the easiest way bring to shop and have it fix

Is your air filter new? Mine was choke due to dirty air filter.

Vtec is automatically open when ur rpm hit 7. And you will hear the vtec sound also. I dunoe how to explain lah.. kekeke... Mainstand Unique does it for $130. But I dunoe whether other shops cheaper...

It depends on how you ride though and what air filter brand you using. I realise pirated/chiong brand air filters get choke very fast should let ur bike shop have a check.

I wash or replace air filter every 3 months alternately.
