Hi Guys, what grips are you guys using? The stock grip gave me thunderous blisters after 2hrs of continuous riding last night.

 

The balancers seems to unscrew easily. Do you guys have yours removed? If so, wat do you do about the gaping hole at the end?

 

Just wondering if there are gel or much more comfy aftermarket seats made for our bikes? It's a real pain in the ass and it sucks the fun outta riding for me. :sian:

 

Which shop would you guys recommend if i wanna get accessories and stickers?

 

Cheers!

I rode my bike on-off from 10.30am till 8pm on the long distance super moto yesterday, no problems with my hands or the seat. Bike felt very comfy

 

The weights in the bars are there to reduce the vibration. You remove those weights then the bars will vibrate. Maybe ok for 30 minutes here and there, But for 1 hour continuous riding, then you hands will buzz and tingle.

You put disc lock on, or padlock on sproket, remember the following

 

ALWAYS park bike with front facing the wall. That way you cannot just ride off, you need to back out and if you forget about the lock when backing out no damage will be done. The bike will stop moving when the lock hit the swingarm.

 

Get your sproket check, you may have warped it. A new sproket costs about $70

Hi chris 525, thanks for the great advice. I was out the whole of today running errands and stuff and i did not commit the same mistake again. Once bitten twice shy i guess but now i keep forgetting to open the fuel tap and ride off and when my bike runs outta gas, my rear wheel locks up and i almost fell off. :giddy:

Have bike will wheelie!

Jesus! Maybe i just have girly hands and a really soft and easily brusied butt or you have hands and butts made of steel. :sweat:

 

Are there better build balancers available for our bikes as the stock ones comes off easily even after screwing it in real tight. Preferably those like sports bikes using allen key and not the stock rubber expander to hold it in place. o_O

If you use the bike daily, then just leave the fuel-on all the time.

You only need to turn it off if you park the bike for an extended time like 2-3 days like when you go on a holiday.

 

As for hand grips and counterweights I not much use there, so cannot advise, except get a nice pair of gloves to absorb all the vibes.

No way Jose! Downed 3 grand and took a 3yr loan.

 

Looi. :thumb:

 

12.8K @ 4.5% Mitsui TPFT

 

Didn't ask for any but they gave me a bike canvas.

 

Hell yeah! Eventhough scrams are built to take all kinds of abuse, they make such easy targets for vandals and pilferers. So strong yet so vulnerable at the same time. :giddy:

when i go and collect my bike,there is a free helmet and a standard warranty servicing package for the 1st 800,2000 and 3000km not inclusive of materials bundled there,no need to ask for it.

 

So far no vandals on my bike when i go out mostly at night.

In the manual it very clearly says,

 

1/ Change oil + filter at 1000km (1 month) + check all the nuts+ bolts tension on engine

 

2/ Change oil at 6000 km (5 months)

 

3/ Change oil + filters at 12000 km (12 months)

 

4/ Change oil at 18000km (or 18 months)

 

5/ etc, etc

 

Then need to check brake pad wear, etc etc etc.

It's all there black and white in the manual

 

So all this free service at 800, 1600, etc etc etc is Bull. Cos the manual written by Mr Suzuki says otherwise.

 

Even the agent who guarentee the f'king bike cannot tension the drive chain properly, and put 10W-50 instead of what is recommended by the manufacturer 10W-40l.

 

Sorry - but from time to time I think us bikers kena ripped off.
