Thanks scoobydoo for the detail write-out on the GPS. Guess nuvi550 with the RAM set is the choice then. A bit costly though.

[scoobydoo]

a kaki just asked me about where to buy the $99 annual travel insurance...

decided to post here so that other could also benefit

 

 

Annual Budget Travel Insurance fr $99 a year

can also call fellow SWinger Jamerson Lee directly at 9682-9392 to settle the paperwork and payment.

 

ride safe people

[tcss]

I still wondering should buy bike or not leh ...

$15k leh ... each month around $150/= more in expenses ...

[scoobydoo]

everything comes with a price... especially under Pay-n-Pay

 

you're paying for the convenience, more control over travelling time especially when MRT breakdown regularly, the fun of "eat wind" 吃风, bla bla bla.

see whether you want these or save the $150 lor

 

 

our fellowship is free, but still gotta pay transport expenses to the meetups... less if you walk or jog there

[confusehaha]

New vs used clutch pads.

New vs used clutch pads.

I always have problem with these. I just see no different in clutch pads and break pads new or old. They say change, I can only say ok. To me ... still about the same thickness .... haven't touch the metal yet. hahaha

[scoobydoo]

see the hole behind the pads?

i mean that hole on the clutch peg body behind/near the clutch pads

 

one of the mods involves drilling the hole larger to make the pegs lighter. purpose is to "kill" the pigeons n improve pickup; higher rpm would be required to engage the clutch.

hmmm scooby, if the hole is larger will it cause vibration to the assembly? as the pegs no longer nicely fit to the assembly shaft le..

however sanding of the little shaft is recommended as to smoothen the engaging of the clutch pegs..

in fact have diff.. lol

as the used is 50% less thicker than the new one.. haha now feel more smoother to cruise at higher range

[yogi]

I'm the slowest la...that's why I stay infront...like army run or route march...the slower ones go in front...

 

sch bus goin eh?

[firenace]

Ya.. My key can turn but nothing happen n i feel the keyhole loosen.. Becoz i feel so loose when turning

its either the line is broken or juz loosen/detach from the catch. the line runs on the left side, around 10cm away from the keyhole towards the front.

2 options:

1. unscrew 2 screws below the left side fairing, loose the faring and u can see the line. 2 mins job if u know how to do. take note dat the catch from the back-brake light part is small, becareful not to break it.

2. juz ride down to ACM & let ah chong settle for u.

 

hope the above info helps. all the best

The pegs only use the hole at the far end.

Some foreign forums recommend enlarging the middle hole.

 

knn... talking about holes here and there...

Dr Pulley Sliding Rollers SR2820 26g

 

http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u382/raymondsg/Silverwing/Dr_Pulley/0673aef7.jpg

 

Installed today. The uniqueness is it makes the variator movement non-linear compared to normal round rollers. 26g seems just nice. Move-off rpm is slightly higher than stock at around 3.5krpm. Most of the "gear ratio change" occurs around 4.5-5.5krpm, which is near SW max torque. At high speed, rpm is about 500rpm lesser than stock to achieve the same speed. Engine brake seems lesser. Feels pretty good for a simple change.

Anybody knows how to remove the clutch bell? I've removed the C clip but the bell doesn't come off. Manual says need special tool.

[SW9000]

got special clamp with a screw at the center to force the bell out.

New clutch pad is 3mm thick; service limit is 1mm. Mine still have 2mm+ at 29kkm. So very lasting.
