[scoobydoo]

tat beng sells batteries under 2 arrangements... without receipt (cheaper) and with receipt (add 7% GST)

you can also try LAB... may be cheaper

F1 light for what? and V light up indicate what?

 

FI light will flash or light up if FI is faulty or u can say dirty.

'V' light is actually a reminder to service your transmission. after reset, it'll light up at the next 24k. just remember to change your belt every 30k and u are safe.

heard from a mech that FI may light up if batt is in really bad condition... dunno how true though

 

see V-Matic Indicator at Tech Corner for how to reset

 

cheers

Summary of trip

map http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv287/josephsbs/Pengerang%20Trip%20Nov%202009/PengerangTrip_Nov2009.jpg?t=1285293729

 

+ 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

Hope you find your swing soon. Seriously its reall very difficult to find a 2nd hand swing. And especially at the conditions you want.

Why not consider a new one?

[scoobydoo]

[firenace]

hahaha.

yup. same idea. new bike or car, newly out of the shop, shud have a good coating to prevent stuff like future watermark & dirt/dust. i dun really wana use a clay bar in the future. hehe

so when is your sw coming?

[firenace]

juz like to check wif u guys if u have any updates on the FC between SW T400, SW GT400 & SW GT600?

SW T400 has the best FC among the 3 but i wana know if there's a great diff.

loois oso having the 600 rite? is there any price diff between mah & loois? i only know mah's price but haen visit loois...

i'll ask my fren to help me check with the ins. hope its not a too big difference.

 

questions for those guys who went touring b4. during heavy rain in msia, do u think hazard light helps? (i'll on my car's hazard lights when there is heavy rain to be more visible)

do u think booster helps? ( have dis thinking cos if big lorry or car swings to your lane and u tink braking is not a good choice )

 

sorry for many questions asked. hehe

there aren't many GTs around in sinkapor, plus none in our gang is riding one... so no data for you

 

loois oso having the 600 rite? is there any price diff between mah & loois? i only know mah's price but haen visit loois...

i'll ask my fren to help me check with the ins. hope its not a too big difference.

answer is just a phone call away... why not ask ah lee first hand?

 

questions for those guys who went touring b4. during heavy rain in msia, do u think hazard light helps? (i'll on my car's hazard lights when there is heavy rain to be more visible)

while touring, we'ld stop somewhere safe during heavy rain or when visibility is badly impaired... safety first

having a hazard light helps but don't count on it.

 

do u think booster helps? ( have dis thinking cos if big lorry or car swings to your lane and u tink braking is not a good choice )

"booster" helps... to burn more petrol

according to feedback from a few JDM riders, the extra power is not much.

if a big lorry or car suddenly swings into my lane, will i have sufficient reaction time to activate the "booster" then open the throttle? hmmm... guess i'll probably just open the throttle in panic... whahahahaha

hmmm... guess my first reaction will simply be open the throttle and get the hell out... whahahahaha

thx for the reply ^_^

i juz manage to find a US review on the 600. fuel estimated is around 16km/L and he is riding in city area.

who is ah Lee? i'm not familiar with shops other than west area. hehe

i've read about a brief info on the booster but dun know how great is the boost in real...

so in general, u reccommend SWT400 over the 600?
