SBF Silverwings / HOM Cafe 2012

[SW9000]

My 2 options (Tmax & Versys) are all going at $19k++.

 

So ex.

 

Tmax cheapest at Hong Leong for $18,050 without insurance.

Add Yamaha box is another $590. Eh... this box is nice.

 

Sell bike 9k still need to top up $10k!!!

 

KNN. Might as well just use that $$ go zeng my bike till ultra swee swee and no problem.

visit him again to see whether is a same problem..

thx bro !

 

These are the pics taken during the replacement of the bearing. Basically it was the defective roller bearing that cause the noise.

 

 

Well this is the defective roller bearing. It was filled with hardened grease.( Choong and I think that the grease has lost the viscosity causing insufficient lubrication )

There are 2 bearing in the clutch assembly. The roller bearing is the culprit, the sealed bearing seems ok but when you buy the new parts, it comes with two so might as well get it replace.

A side by side comparison of a new bearing and old bearing

The clutch assembly was cleaned before assembling. Choong uses sprit to clean away the old grease( it was hardened ). Re-greasing is necessary

This is where the roller bearing is installed.

Well after putting everything back together, the noise that i initially thought was the clutch slippage is eliminated. Now all I can hear is my noisy exhaust pipe. Heehee:cheeky:

Haha. Power Rangers colour.

But the Tmax is really much muscular looking then our SW loh.

If 15k I'll buy liao but too bad it is now way over-priced.

 

Anyway, I molested the bike this evening at HL.

The front body is too broad for my liking.

Some more the shield can reach only to my chin/neck level. Confirm sure kana wind blast.

Unlike the laid back/body upright position of the SW, the Tmax posture must lean forward a bit. I think this 'racing' posture makes ppl ride very fast.

I want to try test ride Tmax....

So nice

anyone inteterest in the followings parts for silverwing installed on my bike...

departing my workhorse...

 

hyper pro fork spring

knn air filter

brakeing front disc brake(few month old only)

leo vince full system

[SW9000]

Another deserter.

 

Just when I'm thinking about it, he already buy liao.

Must be a good year for accountants. hehehe.

 

This coming Thursday kopi?

[hilfiger]

May i ask those who r using Pirelli Diablo Scooter tyres,

the front and rear can last u how much mileage respectively?

haha..

no lah..

the trade in price for my close to 3years old sw with 61k km is too lucrative...

let me posion SW9000

 

[joeling914]

hehe... dun test a construction worker on electrical science leh. studied mech engineering some 21 yrs ago, dunno how much is left by now due to dementia ... whahaha

 

posted was what i remembered from the previous discussions, not gospel truths... good that SWingers with knowledge in electrical field are contributing for the greater good

 

Query: The extra AH increases the batt capacity for the same load unless you add power hungry devices. This will fry electronics.

does that mean having 22Ah is ok as long as we don't add more gadgets to draw power from the bike? but seems like defeat the purpose coz having a bigher capacity batt is to supply power to all the add-ons like HID, blink-blinks, gps, hp, sound system, etc

 

Query: Parallel batt in this case is of same capacity, say another 11AH for this project. We assume no extra load or modification to the bike circuitry. No Aircon please.

power hungry mods are like HID and "christmas tree"... once on, can see voltmeter reading drop. i tot upsize is meant to support the power hungry add-ons?

 

Query: Filling up a bigger reservoir instead of a tank takes longer time and when bike stops, all activities end (no stress on the alternator)

ic... tot a more powerful alternator is required to support the electrical needs of the bike and charge the bigger batts at the same time

 

hi scoo;

its a discussion, any profession or experience comments are welcome. not much of testing lah...

Objective of parallel batt in this case is for cost saving with 1/10 of space compromise. This modification is with the safety in mind, not to test the extremes or to use your bike to do reliability test on the electronics or theories. Any type of batt or modification will not support a high load for long be it a car or lorry for aircon with the engine off.

Alternator is designed for this purpose with good MTBF and to fail for automotive compliant spec is ......

 

of course, there is always a tendency for one to add cosmetic loads with a calculated risk at least.

 

cheers

let me posion SW9000

 

 

Grr... help help!

[SW9000]

Anyone have idea how to mod the Tmax 14 inch wheel (old series) for use with our SW? *Without replacing the forks.

Just thinking...

[SW9000]

Got 2 extra days off in Sep... can extend my trip after Ipoh (9 Sep to 14 Sep).

Any recommendation?

 

Hatyai (2 nights)?

Betong (2 nights)?

Penang (2 nights)?

K.L (2 nights)?

Trengganu/Kelantan?

Cameron Highlands + Fraser Hill? **Highly likely this one. Travel via Gua Musang and Route 8.

Grr... help help!

 

 

Go for it !

 

PS : i'll join u shortly

nice though.. Cheers

I change both together at 20k.

 

At 20k, the rear still have tyre tread? The front definitely still have rite...
