[konspire]

saw a forumer selling a fbd drz for 11000, with remus slip on, mcct, 3x3 and case saver. isit a good deal?

 

go down n hv a look at the bike urself. see if it's done up n if it is, then it's quite a good deal as u dun hv to accesorize it. chk also for some mechanical things like the engine, body alignment n why he's selling...test ride too, then u can feel how the bike is doing...

guys the coolant tank(white colour) empty.is it normal?mine is empty,the tech says its like this.

The one just below the seat on the left side.not radiator.

 

And wats is the purpose of doing pair remove?improve performance?

That's the "reservoir" if im not mistaken.. ie - when coolant heats up the excess flows into the tank.. wen it cools it flows back into the radiator/coolant hose etc.. At least that was wat being said to me. :cheeky:

Always overfill the radiator till some of the coolant appears in the overflow tank.

 

When cold you should see some coolant in the tank and when hot the level should rise as the expanded coolant from the radiator overflow into it.

 

Note the level when hot and that it should go back to the cold level when the engine has cooled down.

 

If no coolant appears in the overflow tank when hot... it can mean that the radiator coolant level is low... how low? You wont know till you open the radiator cap and look inside.

u add in 3k more u can have my bike, wahaha

get the case savers, handguards, MCCT and axle sliders first..

 

read thru the past years thread for info on where to get them..

 

UM does have most of the items..

depends on wat type of coolant u bought, concertrated or ready to use type.

I use Engine ICE coolant, ready to use and effective at cooling

 

if u have a aftermarket exhaust fixed, best to remove the PAIR system, or else will cause popping and unsteady deceleration, removing it won't give more power, may give a little better response and will give better smoothness.

MCCT- Manual Cam Chain Tensioner where u can manually adjust the cam chain instead of the OEM ACCT (Automatic cam chain tensioner)

 

UM- UNique MOtorsport at kaki bukit autobay.

bros,

i really respect all u lau jiao, u really spoon feed the newbies,even the lazy one.Kudos!

[Adam Brody]

if they are street legal, i wun be using my Yoshi Cyclone Street Legal anymore..

 

Penny for my thought but is yours the tri oval or tri cone? and can i ask for your opinion on which one is louder? thanks really appreciate it

Hi guys,

 

i dont own a drz now but i am getting 1 real soon.

always liked this bike but too occupied with my current ride.

 

Anyways i'm planning to use my bike for daily commuting and the occasional track session.

 

There are a few questions regarding the bike and some info for parts too.

 

1. where do u guys service your bike? (mayo ah seng? or unique?)

2. where to buy the rack and box? how much? and which one better?

3. The first thing i will do on my bike is the suspensions. what type of springs are avail? Ohlins? hypercoils? any idea where to buy and cost?

 

okay i know i have alot of questions. very cheong hei (long winded) but i hope someone can help!

[alan0240]

1.both also can,but i go ah seng,never try unique b4

2.get the HnB,cos im using one...

3.Ohlins mayb,cost ard $1500...

[biting_point]

Penny for my thought but is yours the tri oval or tri cone? and can i ask for your opinion on which one is louder? thanks really appreciate it

 

i'm using the cyclone oval one..

IMO, the oval had a much nicer tone..

the tri-oval is deeper in pitch..

 

but again, st legal can never be loud and pleasing to ears..

 

tempted to get a race system but will be riding with fear..

What is neccessary to be done or fixed on a stock DRZ400SM:

 

MCCT- Manual Cam Chain Tensioner where u can manually adjust the cam chain instead of the OEM ACCT (Automatic cam chain tensioner)

Factory automatic adjusters can back out when the throttle is suddenly closed at higher rpms.

This allows the cams to momentarily go out of time and can result in bent valves and/or serious engine damage!

Hydraulic tensioners have a tendency to put too much tension on the chain guide under high rpm/high oil pressure conditions, resulting in premature cam chain wear.

Installation of a Manual Cam Chain Tensioner will allow you to maintain the proper, constant cam chain tension necessary for reliable hi-performance riding and it will not backout.

 

PAIR System- If u have a aftermarket exhaust fixed, best to remove the PAIR system, or else will cause popping and unsteady deceleration, removing it won't give more power, may give a little better response and will give better smoothness.

 

Stainless Steel Brake Hose- Enhance braking feel.

Rubber hoses or mild steel fittings are cheap but we all know how rubber hose bulges under pressure, allows brake fluid to absorb water vapour from the atmosphere and that mild steel fittings rust.

 

BRAKING Disc- More friction coefficient, Better resistance to the heat, More initial braking power, More feeling on the lever, Better handling, Less weight, Thicker than stock disc.

 

UNABIKER Radiator Guard- Provide awesome side impact protection and help prevent radiator fold-back during a crash.

 

Axle Sliders- Protects front fork and rear swing-arm.

 

SME Rear Axle Slider Block- Additional protection with concurrence with the axle sliders, protects swing-arm, rear disc, sprocket.

 

ThumperTalk Skid Plate- Extra protection specially if for off-road purposes.

 

3X3 Air Box Mod- De-restrict the air flow and better performance with an aftermarket Air Filter. Remember to re-jet the stock carburetor to match the A/F ratio.

 

CFC Case Shields- Extra protection for Ignition and clutch covers.

The stock magnesium DRZ engine cases are both thin and brittle.

As a result, they are very vulnerable to damage (cracks & impact punctures) from the bike's shift/brake lever and rocks when the bike falls.

 

Handguards- Prevent clutch and brake levers from breakage/bent during a drop or crash.

 

Exhaust Slider- APA Muffler Slider is made from a specially formulated thick, tough, plastic material that resists wear and helps protect your muffler in the event of a crash, much like a frame slider does.

The slider clamps on securely and the material has built in lubrication molecules that let them slide and not grip the pavement like a soft piece of rubber would.

Road Racers are enjoying the benefits of Muffler Slider protection when they fall off. It can not easily slide off.

 

 

Remove the kickstand safety switch. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If the kickstand is down the bike will not start.

On jumps and bumps the kickstand will bounce around momentarily killing your engine.

Thus I remove kickstand sensor.

 

Remove the clutch safety switch. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If the clutch isn't pulled in, it will not start.

This just one more electronic switch to break from nowhere, so I remove this safety device.

Any shops selling case savers/shields? Or any mass orders around? The one on supermoto no news so far..

[Raptor]

20 supermotards on the starting grid of the Supermotard 5 Lap Fun Challenge at the Pasir Gudang Track Day today.

 

Crazy close quarters racing all the way. Helluva lot of fun. :thumb:

hi there, yeah i saw alr, its done up like how he said. so, worth it?

[papermk]

u add in 3k more u can have my bike, wahaha

 

why? 14k?!?!

[konspire]

hi there, yeah i saw alr, its done up like how he said. so, worth it?

 

then, if all is done, the last thing will depend on ur heart, like looking at a girl, even if she is done up but not up to ur taste or liking, u will never get her also right? so same principle applies here for the bike. ride her n feel it. remember, she must chose u n u must chose her n to bond is to ride........then u r made for each other....

Thanks bro. cause im getting the tricone soon ... the trioval is too ex for me hahaha...
