i got the same problem as u nw.. how much to change the front bearing?? dunno why so fast spoil, isit tyre pressure too high will also cause spoil??

 

Not sure how much. Did a few things that day. I did removed the wheel bearings one time but it's too much a hazzle. I've no skill at that, the bearings were deformed after I hit it out. Now I let the mech do it.

 

This time, we applied a thin layer of lithium grease at the inner sides of the new bearings hoping the grease will reduce rust.

Guys, is it me, the weather or my bike? Its getting hotter ley. my calves can actually perspire after a ride on the e-way from clementi to tuas.

 

Any good recommendations for coolant or...do I have to do something else?

 

Maybe your bike's exhaust is leaking. Also hot days. I'm using Redline's Water Wetter. I tried Injin Eyes before but my bike overheated when I went up north. Water Wetter still ok so far.

after a ride,rev your bike,and see if yur radi fan working or not.or another way is install a radi indicator.But you cant 100% count on it.casue sometime it show there 12v to yur fan,but yur moto fan spoil,thus no on but on the indicator it show it's on.

ya,idling is above 1.2.i did try adjusting but still the same result,im suspecting something to do with the coil or carb

Ooh I was at the notion that somewhere hot air is blowing at your calves, likely a leaky exhaust and naturally, you sweat. Hehe.

[coldblizzard]

Okay...hmm. anyone also encountered any ticking sound when turning right, especially after changing to a new disc brake? Haiz, bike full of problem sia...

Could likely be your radiator cap faulty due to the rpessure rubber being harden and crack..thus leaking out coolant vapour. Take off your tank and take off the radiator cap and check if the rubber is soft and nimble..if not and is hard and have crack lines..have it replace. Please open the cap only when the bike engine is warm or cool.

could't agree more with ah pek.do check your radi cap.And if wan replace,replace it with an orginal Honda cap.wont cost more then $30.

[Guest ayiera]

I'm at JB hou heng doing my chain and sprocket change. they have internet here!

Needed to wait for quite some time till the people finish using the PC though.

 

Hmmmm. $280 for chain and sprocket... good?

 

 

JB Hou Heng, u mean Ah Di's shop? Ur $280 is in sg dollars or msia ringgit? If its ringgit then its very cheap man!
