which sticker you talking about? if its the reflective lining i got it from beside ah boy there. but if you are talking about custom made ones.....can get from a friend. he will surely charge cheaper than otside shops. own people.

 

you wan we can go down and see his stickers together. he live in woodlands.

 

price range varies with sizes =) and he also does number plates.

I mean where did you go to buy sticker for custom one. need to get some. I also stay in woodlands too. When are you going down?

BLOODY UNHAPPY!

 

Just collected my bike. The bill comes to a tidy sum just under $900. Anyway, the engine seems good but I'll have to run it in for 2,000km before I can even consider taking it to PG for a session. For me to ride this many km's on the bike it will take me 6-12 months.

I guess I'm going to have to start riding it on a daily basis...

 

That's not the bad part. While my bike was sitting at Ideal, being simply rolled into and out of the workshop each day, what was previously a perfectly good rear shock has now morphed into a friggin useless SPRING. *BOING BOING*... There is absolutely ZERO rebound damping and the back end shoots back up trying to launch my arse into orbit every time I hit a bump in the road. More $$$ required.

 

At first the brakes also seemed to have gone off a bit but with some hard braking on the way home to try and wear off the layers of grime, dust and rust they seem to be coming good but that just makes the problem with the rear shock even more obvious as the back end skips about. I'm wondering how the front forks are doing now... have the seals on those deteriorated over the months of inactivity also??? I hope not.

 

I just wanna cry...

 

:'(

oh mine..

 

i remember someone over here mentioned bout going to the shop for servicing and came back with the valve motor removed.. tis fellow had his valve removed and the valve motor was sitting uselessly there and it was removed "out of good faith"

 

another fren of mine scrapped his bike with a 34 mm carb and was returned with a 28 mm carb. the working shox was also returned with a boing boing shox, valve motor and 2T pump were 'thrown away" as they thot my fren doesn' want the stuffs..

 

ya judge yaself, dude!

[xxes123]

eyez, tonite pillon me.... choose u cos u the safest liao.... :thumb:

[Axxis]

eyz> yes I've heard a few stories and now I'm starting to believe.

I guess I had better check that my carb is still a 34mm one and not magically morphed back into a 28mm one.

hmmm....

[Axxis]

just checked the carby... the 34mm is still there.. *phew* wipes brow...

[eyz]

ya brought the carb for them to change anyway, i don't think they'll be stupid enuff to "upgrade" ya carb..

 

they will only target deteoriable parts as they can easily say that "ya leave ya bike idle for so long, of course the oil/seal/shi+ will go busted lah"

 

regardin the fork, if it's ain't leaking, it's not necessary to change..

Any idea what cause an idling engine to die often?   Started to have this problem after changing my clutch plates..   abit difficult to start bike if i din ride it in the past couple of hours.. must strat repeatedly, and if the temp is below 40 degrees, and i open throttle it more than 2000, it jus dies off, if i dun open it dies off...   So what i'm doing now is when i start the bike, engine running, open throttle abit.. Very little.. Until temp is more than 40plus.. then bike can rev without dying..   Any ideas how to rectify this problem?[/b] Your crankcase gasket already replaced at First Motor without downing your engine? Did they tune your carb too? Get a basic tune-up for your carb and see if it helps.   Originally posted by LuncheonMeat+--> QUOTE (LuncheonMeat) 2) is it advisable for me as a new rider to get this bike @ this moment? or should I get a 2nd hand bike 1st to get used to riding on the road?[/b] Perfectly advisable if got more brains than balls. But not advisable if more balls than brains.

[gilakia]

they quoted you the price for a 1sthand or 2ndhand rear shock? You want slightly cheaper, get it from Lawrence.. 480 for Sach rear shock including installation..

 

As for outings.. stay tuned..

 

Yup, checked with Lawrence already, but still a little steep man. Anyway, my bike's ready for collection today -

 

Service + reconditioning of fork + wiring + change exhaust valve + little extras + sprockets = $524.60.....

 

 

Geez, it better be worth it man, after this kind of costing.

 

BTW guys, any idea on the changing of rear shock spring and changing the oil in the suspension? Know anyone who can do it? Apparently I hear that its a cheaper alternative to actually getting a new one right?

 

Awaiting your wisdom guys! Thanks!

 

PS : Congrats to all who passed man! Ride safely now!

mine have this problem too... should be ur idling valve( or wad william call it revalve or smth) down the drain...

changed mine at racewrkz for 60 bucks and everything back to normal..heard it's wear and tear sh*t..

[xiongzzz]

anyone any idea if racing pistons would enhance the performance of the bike?

 

my spark plug keep getting damp, any solutions? it'll have this airy sound when u open throttle as it's getting damp, and after a while my bike just wont start.

i'hv changed plugs till i'm getting pissed. it's damn irritating to change a spark plug at 2am in the morning...

Damp with what? If petrol or 2T, your carb settings could be too rich. If it's water, you may have an airbox problem and water is getting into your carb and engine. It's also possible that you're running a spark plug with too cold a heat rating.
