Anyway as what Sun said, they still have plenty of stock. So most prob do it this coming week. How long they take to change it ar, presuming i go there 1st thing in the morning? i intend to go down on Thurs, 31 March. My HDB 1st appt is @ 2pm. Cannot be late!

Hi Casper4xxx,

Don't go to Everbright early, or being the 1st bike there, chances you can never make it in time for the 1400hrs HDB appointment ....you should be atleast 45mins early beforehand at the HDB appointed time...

My advised attend the HDB appointment 1st after that go to the Everbright....they close around 1900hrs++...!

Hi Guys,

Lately anybody going/passing by HL -casper how about you!, are you going or not, If going means; can you check for me how much is the seat cover that covers like tp bike covering the passenger seat and making it into a single seater...

jleo do you have the manual/referrence book- for the XJ9s - I heard from other buggers that you did photocopied into few books...! before.

So, put some information about it -maybe some of the new buggers including myself might order it from you...!

Yet to change the steel braided hoses cos I left the receipt in my office. Lazy to go back take as i was on leave the whole week.

The brake hose they actually obtain from Motoworld. I went there as the 1st bike at 1045 but only managed to leave at 1500. So don't try ur luck. Ur new hse more important.

I've ridden with the night hawk handle bar for a few days. Most probably, my arms are too short. For me, it's upright posture but I still have to lean forward.

When I'm at the shop, I compared both handle bars (original & night hawk), night hawk handle bar is only slightly higher & wider. Bcos it's wider, that makes my the flesh between the thumb & index finger more painful now. There's a limit the handle bar can be pulled towards the rider, afterwhich, it'll become lower.

So now, I may include handle bar raiser which will raise higher & nearer to the rider with night hawk handle bar or with orginal handle bar; whichever combination works properly. Now the brake hoses have been changed, it's only the throttle cable that maybe too short.

I jst return from Cameroon on my Divvy~~ shaggy trip~~ I would say Divvy is good enuff for touring.. but will be better if I have a SKIDMARX!!

Euro · March 28, 2005

Good la! Anyway, I sure you'll enjoy more with time and getting used to. Hows the fork doing?

Sun, you may want to try a lower seat before you get any other stuff. May (may not) help you with your posture. You can check out Nick's seat.. broad and comfy too!

Hi Sun,

I think in your case you have no choice but to change your handle bar to TP type handle, In that case your original or the current want you can sell, to those who have the intention to change theirs...(check with Oxygen if he is interested with your night hawk handle bar)...

Even though you use the handle bar raiser with the night hawk handle bar-you going have problem with the wiring. Now it is just nice, you going to put alot of stress on the wirings when you turn your handle bar completely to either ends/sides.

(When I tried the current Night hawk handle bar- this handle is wide n stable slightly high...with built in bar ends/balancers. I can add an IU and other gadgetrys like GPS, hp holder and a voltmeter between the handle and looks very neat. As for the OEM handle bar space is limited just to an IU unit only.)

If you want to install the TP handle bar- your brake hoses is long enough to run 'no problem' about it- but your both side wirings, throttle cable, choke cables need to be change (to tp type extended wirings) my advise is only to go to the HL(yamaha agent) to check it out, how much is the package...! how is your seat height can you manage...or need to trim off abit.

You may see some TP bikes servicing at the HL ask them you like/want to sit and try the sitting posture then maybe you understand it better.

Try to avoid the handle bar raiser it is not a sound advice...! with the raiser it will raise about 1" to 2" the bar only bring forward about 1" to 2"...Or you can try one of the buggers maybe meet them up for a coffee -Jleo,O2 or palary.(using bar raisers)

Hi Nick,

Yes, in your situation you need to have the skidmarx superflip screen to block out the wind blast to your head and neck- you are too tall and flimsy...he,he,hee...!

Catching insects during the rides to cameron highlands. Imagine all the insects smacking, splashing on you helmet visior...

Ah Nick,

How did you do it? Did you ship your Divvy all the way to the African continent? How much did the freight company charge you?

Euro : the Fork is is hard, more stable at higher speed... but the front person suffer as the headlight is too high, but the high fork allows me to sit at a slightly up right position.

Sun : I make my way down to Biketech later heard that u wan to Cut ur Seat?? Mine is the cutted one. maybe we can do a exchange.

Silverghost : Highway aready collecting insects liao~~ really need a HIGH SCREEN!!! my head is dancing at 180km/h.... hmm....

Yes.... is that a way to make the front part of the divvy heavier.... hmm.... I feel that it too light... hehee... jus some doubts and questionaires....

OMD : I go malaysia onli lah~ Cameron Highland... hauha ... not African....

Overall the bike pickup and the cruising at 160km/h is good.... Stock tire is not really as good as I kena skided a liitle bits while trying to accelarate at bends in during uphill. Quite a all rounder bike, Good CG, easy handle, good pickup, not too big, easy parking, easy maintain... hauha ... nice oso~~ hauha ~~

Lastly, I realise that TP have an extra fairing ( a piece of plastic ) by the side of the headlight..Veri nice leh~ any idea from ware.??

Hi Nick,

For your 1st question > do you know there is a healight adjuster, just behind the head lamp holder assembly both side one is for up or down the other is for left or right (slightly over size (+) screw) -turn your handle to either end you can see it...

For the 2nd question > You can check it with HL about the extended fenders it comes with the high screen-excately like TP's you can forget about the skidmarx... if you are looking for the fender extenders -Have the Ca$h no problem!!!

Our stock tyres -sucks :-b once it is nearing to bald replace both tyres to Bridgestone Battalax BT020 tyres it is recommended for (ST)sport touring $280/- but currently no stock..! give a few weeks time.

FYI- Our bike CG is high!! so move or seat forward closer to the engine...

Are you interested the single sit converter, it's only a seat cover- just goes over the rear seat- looks nice if you are riding solo regularly...if you are going down one of this days to HL -can you check the price for me..! I'm interested.!

Advance thanks :-)

Hi Nick,

High fork at what no.?

Regarding cutting the sit, Euro recommended me. Well, I'm not sure how comfort level will be after cutting the seat. Will the cover be changed after cutting the seat? Currently I'm tip toeing, so I can't reverse the bike at all.

Hi SG,

I don't think I'll change to TP handle bar bcos everything will cost a bomb! I tried on jleo's raised handle bar & I find that it's more comfortable for me (having short arms). I saw the tightness on his trottle & brake cables.

Now I'm thinking of these possiblities:

1. Night hawk handle bar + raiser (wider & expensive)

2. Original handle bar + raiser (narrow & can save money by selling off night hawk handle bar, provided anyone wants it.)

In both the above cases, the only thing I need to worry is trottle cables.

Hi Nick,

Initally I was tempted to order the headlight protector too but held back bcos I spent too much. Maybe it's a once in a life time delivery, I should hor....???

No prob abt the testing of seat. We can always try when we meet up.
