hi all

 

juz bought a brand new revo n was wondering wat is the mileage for running in?

standard running in is 1000km.

[gethype]

Hi guys, i just bought spec 3 a mth ago. just a few qns.

 

1. I noticed that sometimes when i close throttle and open again on normal riding like if i wanna drop gear and move, the speedometer needle wont move. It will be at zero. My rpm can still move up but max is at 5 and it wont go any higher and my bike will have a like rpm max sound and struggling.

 

2. Issit normal that when you change gear, there is a loud sound *TIAK!* ? sounds like engine oil empty or issit i kicked the gear up too hard? but i tried kicking up gentle and still got the sound. Only from 4th to 5th gear no sound. smooth.

1. i got almost similar prob. went to the shop and the chaged or rectify the meter sensor somewhere under ur tank.

 

2. yes, bigger bike will hv that sound when u chg gear coz bigger clutch plate.

Any bros here tried changing to a new seat that is more comfortable for long distance touring? Can share your reviews, price and address of shop that you did it at?

 

I have found shops overseas (online order) with comfort ergonomic seats, designed to relief pressure off your tail bone, and dual density foam (softer outer layer, firmer inner layer), with real breathable leather. All good stuff. But the shipping price is a shocker!! Cause probably the seat is so big, shipping ain't gonna be cheap!

 

Thanks for the help, if any bros know. Cheers.

Hello guys,

 

I just snapped my Super 4 Spec II Throttle Cable and I was wondering how much does it cost to get it replaced? Is it cheaper to buy it from Ah Boy and get an onsite mechanic to help me fix it, or is it better to tow the bike to a shop to get it fixed?

 

Cheers!

I just changed mine recently.. Bought at ah boy and changed it myself.. Its as easy as changing bicycle's cable. Just remove the cable from clutch lever and install the new cable, then follow through and install the other end. Cheap cable $18 original(doubtful) cost $23. Towing to bikeshop would cost u at least $20 if im not wrong.. Gd luck:angel:

What u changed is clutch cable..he's talking about throttle cables and comes in a pair. Cost and workmanship to replaced cost about $66 in regular mototiam.

Had a accident a few years back and realised that handlebar is crooked to the right. Meaning, wheel is pointing straight but handlebar(top triple cramp) is crooked to the right. Align a few times still no fix, then one day mechanic say right fork tube dented so changed new one. but still crooked a little bit to the right. anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

 

Will dent tube really affect handlebar alignment? my handlebar actually also a bit bent, thinking of changing. any idea how much a stock one cost?

 

thanks b4.

If the headlight can't turn on when starting bike, high beam switch on also no light.

More expensive than spec 3, not worth it. think the owner extends the loan tenure too long oledi la.

Quite pricey for spec 2 coz my spec 3 wif yoshi tri oval fs plus accessories is only abit more xpensive than wat u're quoted.
