[silverwing73]

You missed the damn good pork rib, 2 flavour prawns and deep fried chocolate ice cream..... most importantly, a night of great company and friendship..... next round perhaps?

 

yeah man... but when come to ice cream part, i can't really enjoy it fully coz already too full liow didn't even finish my juice... next time better order small

 

Wah lau, don't tempt me with foods, bad for my health wor will join you guys when time permit lah.

 

Met Scooby, SW9000 and Helmetbox once before at the CCK area there but that was like a long time ago but it seems so much more happening now

[bigcow]

Who went to K&T to change their SW brake pads and what is the damage ?

 

Need to change mine already, never changed since stock till now, 14 months already

 

How long they need to change ? I can spare the most 2 hours during lunch time weekday

 

the cost of your rear original brake pads is abt $60+. but at shops, they will charge slightly higher cos they need to go take and install for u. original pads will not spoil your disc as fast as other after market types. thats why it will cost slightly more.

check your brake pads... if not worn out then no need to change.

mine also ~14 months but still very thick, mech said no need

Noted, already changed. my mech at FS that time told me next eo change is time to change brake pads already.

 

So just now when it was being replaced, I took the old one and have a look and notice that there it is like half of the new brake pads. so it still can be used but since already changing halfway, decide to just carry on.

 

I been checking my brake pad regularly but it seems so hard to see and also I notice that I need to press harder to slow it down.

[Sensible]

as long as in the printed log card got your name, number plate, engine & chassis number can liao. remember..... your name must be inside.

your name not inside, your bike by right cannot enter Thailand.

happen to 1 Silverwing b4. but i manage to pull him through.

 

that SW is me... Muahahahah..

lucky Bigcow managed to talk sense with the "Chief" of the checkpoint..

 

MUST bring along log card with your address on it.. The one which LTA first send you one is the one to bring.. cos i print mine out from the net but no address one.. @#$% make me sweat at the checkpoint sia..

Braking is slightly cheaper than stock. can brake better, but pad and disc wear faster.

[spin37]

currently running balanced

 

alrighty..update us if performance is better then staggered.

posted outcome liow leh...

 

hmmm... maybe silverwing factory setting is staggered on purpose for more torque

my butt dyno tells me the bike felt more "torqey" when staggered but after sync, i clocked better FC trading off the "pickup".

last clocked 26+km/L but with some help from FP60 (previously usually 24+km/L)

last heard the hoop is around $270, most expensive but not as durable.

if you search this thread, you'll find some good info...

Scoobydoo, HelmetBox and me all using Pirelli Diablo now. No complains.

Feelfree gave me headache for 5 months becos of wobbles at 50km/h during deceleration. After changing to Diablo, wobbles gone.

Could be me unlucky to get a defective rear tire becos others who have changed to Feelfree did not encounter such problem.

You might also consider the price... Diablo ($145 to $165) and Feelfree ($220 to $240).

Aiyah, lazy mah, do not have the know how and also don't want to take away their rice bowl

It is in UBI

 

By the way, I did the Sync at K&T. While riding back yesterday, I was like wow. my bike was very responsive, fast and feels like it is very light.

 

Like Silverwing on red bull:thumb:

 

This is from a layman opinion who know nuts about scooter and its parts

There are many diff type of people

Some like NOT to have strings attached......

Some guys like to be available but don want commitment (Chia Ba Chao Lang)

Others like to have a decent relationship (along with it u have to accept all goods and bads).....

 

IMO i jus feel if you have the trust and the workmanship is good. Balance out the bills... Bottomline the bikeshop still gotta earn

 

Maybe you can do a buffet style this shop cheap that shop cheap...... anything happen to this part and you try to go to another shop.. He doesnt know what is the problem cos not serviced by them..... And most of the time thats where misunderstanding occur cos they might not fix it well (end up pp condem them that their skill sarks)....

 

Another senario => will you go back to a GP that you visit since young that have all your record WHEN U ARE GENUINELY SICK then to a new clinic with cheaper consulation fees?
