But Vik, to be frank, with the condition your engine's in, you're better off not trying to open your valve at all, and just cruise around town. You're trying to make your engine last till the end of the year, remember?

When did you change gear oil? If it's longer than 2 weeks ago, change your gear oil again and see if the problem crops up. If it still does, get your clutch system checked. If that's still not the problem, get your gearbox dismantled and checked. Pay special attention to how your gearbox behaves from now on - when does it get stiff, does changing gear oil ever improve the shifting (it shouldn't if you change your gear oil often enough), etc.

Hello SPEED THRILLS..........Opps..........SpeedKills I mean..........

 

The secret I think is my relaxed riding style and that I took care especially during the running in period, which is very impt.

 

Always warmed up before riding, never over rev, serviced regularly.

 

Works with cars, now I know it works on bikes as well.

[eyz]

alex, i need your big help.. i just changed my fork.. and it's damn hard.. can you advise me whether is there anything i shud look out if it's gonna be used for road riding.. damping very little... i am using 20w oil.. the capacity is more of less according to the manual..

 

another problem is.. after fixing the back front wheel.. the brake grinds the brake disc.. thou wheel spins very smoothly, constantly givin little 'screeching' sound.. do you think it's ok?? i'd tried adjusting the rod.. but to no avail..

I agree bro.. Just praying my engine can take it till end of the year when i do my overhaul.. Hopefully my 2T problem can get solved soon..

Yo bro,

 

I dont mind lending you my valve.. There wont be anything wrong running without valve right? You can use mine till end of this year.. till i do my overhaul..

 

You break this one, buy me new one ok?

andrew, yer bike like having lotsa problems nowadays ah.. vik.. u also..

Bro,

 

this is what happens when you buy a 2nd hand bike.. I was kinda expecting this.. That's why i'm planning to slowly change all the parts of my bike and upgrade it.. My projected overhaul is in Dec.. Anyway, i dont ever intend to sell my bike so to me, it's worth it.. I rather spend the money on mantaining it well then having more problems in the future..

 

Haiz.. money no enough..

Bro,

 

the bike is in your Dad's name right? So every year he/you pay the insurance that is required for him.. Should be about 300plus if i'm not wrong assuming your Dad is riding for damn long.. All you have to do now is pay 25-35 dollars to add yourself as sub rider.. It's a one-off thing..
