$66SGD? Sounds alright to me considering the weight.

I always go with a helmet that can cover the jaw area. Flip up or full face safer.

How much did they quote you for each piece of the 39t sprockets? The postage is for 3 pieces or per piece?

Hi Bros,

 

I have a 2002 TA200 and I'm a bit confused with taillight.

 

At night (headlights ON), is there supposed to be a taillight on?

 

So far, The only rear light on is the light for license plate. Apart from that, I have the brakelight, which is OFF unless brakes are applied.

 

Is Ta200 supposed to have a taillight that is permanently on when headlights are on?

 

Thx...

if u off the headlights, the tailight will go off. however the brakelights will work when u brake.

when u on headlights, tail light will on.

if ur tail light is not on unless u brake, despite yr headlights on, check your tail light bulb. got 2 filaments inside, maybe 1 fuse already.

I'm having trouble removing the pillion footrest from my bike. Left side was removed easily, but the right side (one bolt is attached to the exhaust pipe) is proving difficult. Is it removable in the first place?

[naim]

Behind got a nut IIRC. Maybe u turn the bolt, the nut turn together.

[sprocketty]

ANyone got ideas of how / where to place some kind of "basket/container" to keep stuff while riding?

 

Possible to place it on the tank? or maybe near the handlebar area? Anyone seen anything done before?

 

I don't like having my wallet / phone etc in my pockets when ride. Rather store them in a basket (like those scooters / kapcai).

1. find a pouch of your own liking with straps, secure around tank with the straps

2. fix position by including in the pouch (perhaps sew in or put in a compartment) a magnet from a old harddisk!

[sprocketty]

Sounds good bro! I might do the same but with a plastic tray.... Want to have one handed access to stuff while stopping...

[UshioChan]

Does anyone a good place to buy tank bags ?? A small one is good enough

You are talking about removing the triangle mounting right? Cos the footpeg is usually mounted by a retaining bolt and cotter pin.

[naim]

Yup I think he referring to the entire bracket. Try see if the WD40 loosens it.

Yeap, basically remove the pillion footrest because I don't pillion anyone.

 

The thing is, is the footrest part of the support for the exhaust pipe? As in, is the exhaust pipe partly held up by the footrest? Because it seems like if I remove it, the exhaust pipe is left "hanging" there.

The mounting is part of the exhaust mounting. Unless you modify and add longer bushings, if not mounted exhaust might crack and break near the end can.
