eh ... i also have that problem leh ... today just go fix only. 2nd one in one month. this mech at kembangan say its due to rain leaking into the sensor. but then erm, like that means everytime rain must change sensor. die lar like that.

Erm... *sheepish smile*

 

What's a front/back brake sensor?

 

BTW, my back brake sometimes step, the lever depresses all the way without any feeling. Almost like sh*t my brakes fell off feeling... And only happens sometimes. Time to change brake fluid?

haha dunno leh

maybe naming some pieces of rubber after a legend can make the bike faster

 

so how the radiator diy session ?

like nothing concrete going on leh...

Firstly, MotorX is out of Waterwetter stock. Stock must be moving fast because I was told still have but when I was there, there was none left.

I was told to check back earliest on Friday or next week. Sianz.

 

Secondly, servoprax remains largely uncontactable at the moment. I'm trying to arrange with him a time and place to conduct this next DIY Session. Have been unable to get hold of him at his office nor home.

 

The most important element here is the Waterwetter itself. Without it, no point conducting a DIY coolant change.

 

Sorry guys... looks like it'll have to be put off another couple of days or so.

My sincerest apologies to all who were looking forward to this event....

 

Here's the list again.

1) Greydium

2) Siewsphone

3) Messiah

4) fibre

5) Servoprax

 

 

Jude,

Time to change brake pads or check your brake fluid.

Brother,

 

It is ok for me (maybe us?). No hurry, take your time ^_^

[Divineponytailz]

Any recommendations on a good place to get the brake fluid and get it fixed? How much does it cost?

 

Anyone wants to meet Saturday afternoon for DIY, wash bike, kopi, etc?

That happened to my front brake when i just got the bike. The mechanic said something like there is air somewhere along the brake line. I think need to bleed the brake system to get rid of the air bubble/s inside... if your mech say its not that, could be some other causes which i don't know of yet.

haha

why you and i always suffer the same problems ?

anyway the switch looks like a simple one with no complicated sensor to me

so, not sure wat sensor the mech referring to.

can't be that we are the only 2 suay kia to kana such prob

or the others have anti-rain aura on their bikes ?

Hmm..maybe we're the only two who don't cover bike when parked? then rain then keep leaking in and spoil it... The so called sensor only one small black thingy, looks fragile though ... touchwood it won't give way again.

Haha ... haiz, keep having this kind of problem soon will have no money to change clutch plate already . . . but then again, it makes owning an aprilia more interesting isn't it?

Hi Divine_ponytailz,

 

My place is at Macpherson. Quite central. Very spacious void deck, partially hidden away from carpark so neighbourhood patrol and parking attendent wont give us any trouble.

 

Also, there's a tap where we can fill our buckets. And a place large enough to park 12 bikes. I've got 3 buckets, wax, soap, aluminium foil (for removiing rust), WD-40 and GT-85 that you guys are free to use. But you guys gotta bring your own rags if you want clean ones. I can only provide a couple of stained ones...

 

Nearby, there are

Mobil 1min away

Shell 3min

BP 1min

Caltex 3min

Kopitiam 8min

neighbourhood coffeeshops(x3) 0.5min

Old Chang Kee 8min

Turtle Soup 8min

MSCP 0.5min (in case of rain)

15min from Orchard Rd

10min from Jalan Besar

 

The Cons:

I do not have special tools, chain lube or portable radio.

Anyone has whatever tools or lube you think is good (or radio), just bring. Share to show that you care, yeah?

 

Perhaps you guys give suggestions to where we could hold DIY Session 2, and give a run down on that location.

 

Any more riders interested? Time to learn more abt our bikes, and ourselves. Do join in if possible.

Cheers! Ride hard; Ride safe!

HI guys

 

some info on tyres

 

 

whenever we buy tyres we look at model of the tyre and some useful experience

from our riding and fellow riders

but there is something to look out for

some might know and some might not know

 

WHEN A TYRE IS MADE FROM FACTORY ITS LIFE IS ONLY 2YRS

AFTER THAT ITS CALL SUB STANDARD

USUALLY MICHELIN AND BRIDGESTONE WILL RECOLLECT THE TYRES AFTER 2YRS

ITS A PRACTICE STRICTLY FOLLOWED IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

AFTER THEY COLLECT IT THEY EXPORT IT

THATS WHY SOMETIMES U HEAR SOME GOT IT CHEAP

AND WORST SOME SAY THE PERFOMANCE IS SO BAD WHILE WAT U USING IS THE SAME AND THE PERFORMANCE IS GOOD!

 

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE TYRE?

ITS EITHER IN THE LEFT OR RIGHT

I M USING A BATTLAX TYRE 090 {0604}

THIS MEANS ITS THE 6TH DAY OF 2004

IF LETS SAY {12503}

ITS THE 125TH DAY OF 03

 

CHECK URS BEFORE U BUY

OR SEE IF URS IS ALREADY MORE THAN 2 YRS
