SBF Silverwings / HOM Cafe 2012

i dun need the stiffer rear as yet, and already got the stiffer front

just helping to gather info for those interested in the rear shocks.

 

for a better estimate of price, can email or call Hagon's HK distributor directly:

Power Motorcycle Specialist

Shop 8-9, Ground Floor, 42-44 Pok Man Street, Tai Kok Tsui, KOWLOON

Tel. +(852) 2390 3949, Fax. +(852) 2391 9434

powermcshk@hotmail.com

 

please note before investing on the upgrade:

according to someone who has used the hagon but switched back to stock shocks, the bike's rear will be raised slightly possibly due to:

. stiffer shocks allows bike's rear section to "sink-in" less under gravity,

. physical length of shocks may be a just little longer??? same length

 

dun buy liow then regret cos "kar chng kiao kiao"... whahahaha

like to check if warranty by BS, if change EO and stuffs at other places will void warranty?

[scoobydoo]

no la... like that also void warranty then jialat liow

changing wear n tear items will not void warranty.

 

in theory, warranty could be deemed void when modifications/changes are made to the original "status" of the bike, regardless how trivial it/they may be; voiding may be segment based instead of entire bike.

e.g. changing the stock horn to more powerful aftermarket ones, installing capacitor enhancers, adding LED or hazard lights, etc. might render the warranty on the bike's electricals but the mechanicals could still be covered.

 

nevertheless, the staff at BS are usually not so "calculative" about these small stuffs unless the mods are major ones like altering/changing the structure of bike, electricals, adding "turbo" or "compressor", enlarging the bore, etc.

 

i had my magneto changed under warranty when my bike has ad-ons like PA2, front/rear led lights, hazard lights, stebel horn, etc. when i push it in.. still ok

New bike should register via online.

If service elsewhere, please get the bike shop (preferably where you bought the bike) to stamp on the service log card (can get from bike shop or BS).

Physical length is the same. Just the Hagon don't sag as much as the stock spring.

 

Replacement without need to remove any fairing.

Summary of trip

+ Jason Bay

+ Sungei Renggit lunch at Good Luck

+ Se Yuan Bakery (freshly baked SGT cookies)

+ Sungei Renggit Ostrich farm visit (hope its open on Sun)

+ Bukit Indah

 

start with a leisurely 2hrs ride up to Jason Bay at the east coast of M'sia, north of Desaru. enjoy a few moments of breeze, photo session and rest for our butts.

http://www.ulfp.com/ulfp/mod_page/view.asp?ID=15

tide level is forecasted to be going down, near midway towards low at 1pm so still can take some nice pics of beach. followed by a 1hr coastal ride down to Sungei Renggit aka 四湾岛 (Pengarang), passing desaru on the way down south. the trunk road down is rather nice but don't get carried away by the sea view, do look out for a few wok sized craters (some have been patched up during our last visit but do expect new ones)

 

12+pm = LUNCH!!! lets have different styles of lobsters at Good Luck... deep fried is a must, stir fry with cheeze or braised with sauce. estimated damage? 10 of us paid about Rm80 (approx. S$35) each during the last trip. we shall decide what to do next while waiting for the lobsters to "crawl" up our table.

 

after lunch, we'll walk/bike over to the famous Se Yuan Bakery for some SGT cookie shopping, then to the Ostrich farm 5mins ride away (instead of visiting Tg Pengelih jetty like we did last round). finally, its back to Jusco at Bt Indah for some nice cool A&W root beer float or plus dinner before returning to sinkapor

 

return to sinkapor should be via 2nd link, but depends on concensus. my personal preference is to return via 2nd link especially after the smoky-scratchy experience, even though causeway would be very much nearer to my CCK home. in any case, riders are free to go OTOT after the makan

your bike is brand new, probably why need to depress harder; think it'll somewhat "loosen" after some time. you'll get used to it and also start to feel the "click" when start mode is activated. dun have to depress so hard, just enough to activate the mode.

 

there're a few safety features in SW which prevents the bike from starting, e.g. when side stand is down, when start mode is not activated, when bike is "sleeping" on its side (not sure but dun suggest you try). we're not talking about the HISS which is a security feature.

 

left brake is liked with CBS which activates both front n rear brakes when depressed. the "start mode" thingy is a safety feature in case engine is accidentally started with high rev, causing clutch to engage (SW has no neutral gear) and bike to move when rider is not ready. what's next? peng lor

for those who usually/always start the bike at main stand, this start mode thingy may not be as useful.

 

like bigcow said, it can be easily disabled if you prefer the convenience.

 

additional safety features are always like that, always with a trade-off and while some likes it there, some don't. imagine all cars requiring drivers to put on seat belt before engine can start; most new cars now have reminders (light indicator and/or ting ting sound buzzer). bet there'll be pp who'll hate it and disable or circumvent the system.

 

to each their own
