Hi guys, i'm getting my 2A soon and i'm thinking of getting the DRZ SM. How much would the insurance cost for a 30yr old rider like myself? As for petrol consumption, how fuel economic is the DRZ SM and availability of parts? Planning to get a brand new bike next month.

 

Thnaks!

[Guest rookie517]

it is about 300+ for 3rd party fire and theft

 

bike is pretty low consumption, ultimately, depend on how u

rev and ride the bike

 

good luck for ya new ride

 

[gasgasx]

and i think NTUC insurance accept the dr z400 sm insurance. not like s4 unless u know someone inside or an agent willing to help u to appeal.

 

juz curious. let's say i get my 2a now then buy the bike......can i still carry over the ncd(no claim discount) from my previous insurance from the same insurance company i.e Ntuc ?

 

think tpft(third party fire and theft) should be a safer option for a new bike.

 

sorrie for all these newbies questions....

[Guest rookie517]

u can check with ntuc

if i'm not wrong, it is possible to carry over the ncd..

[chris 525]

Cannot carry over ncd.

 

Each time you buy a new bike, the ncd starts from 0%, then 10% the following year and 20% the year after that.

 

Hmm, is this a sign of bad luck or what, I got pulled over yesterday on my virgin ride. Didn;t gt a ticket cos I still running-in the engine.

I am going NTUC this lunch time, so can clarify then

[EVOIIIGSR]

yup pls do let us know ... also ask them if i got 50% NCD can I use it for all 3 bikes? or is it one bike only? if only one bike, can i split the ncd into 3 eg. 20 / 15 / 15?

 

been paying thru my nose ... and its starting to bleed badly ...

just wondering... when buying a new bike what is the common practice of running in the engine? what kind of speed the bike is ridden in and the duration? i'm not too sure about this but my idea of running in the engine is it's more of like less revving and travelling more at a constant of 60km/h to 70km/h. practically it's no whacking of bike for daily riding of about 1 month?

If your bike got a rev counter then it is easy, during the run-in period don't exceed (eg 5000 rpm) a certain number of revs in any gear.

 

But if no rev meter, then dont exceed 1/2 throttle for first 800km, then 3/4 throttle for next 800km.

 

When running in, use bike as normal, exercising the gears in all possible revs.

Don't run the bike at a constant speed for a prolonged period because that does not help the run-in process.

in that case, can drop gears frequently? kinda a bit afraid to do that on a bike sometimes what more on a new one.... hahaha scared piston jam ... hahaha yes yes i'm weird...

When you drop gear, then you should make sure you match the engine revs to the gear before releasing the clutch.

yes

[gasgasx]

and there's the TT motortune's method......wack hard on 2nd 3rd 4th gear and use engine brake. repeat and rinse for 32miles.....roughly 51klicks. then change engine oil. use those silkolene halvoline dun use those synthetic for the time being.

[stylomilo]

saw a yellow drz sm at dam juz now~

who was it!

 

nice bike!

[gasgasx]

well i think maybe when the new honda XR4 motard comes in...we'll see more of those on road also. maybe whole sg become 'motardised'? kekke

[ryanC]

it'll be interesting... wonder whether the new xr4 motard will be using same parts as the current xr4s... is the drz400sm parts relatively the same as those from drz400 e or s? quite interested in getting one...since someone said there's shops offering at 13.3k otr with 4.5% per annum interest... most likely need to hire purchase it...
