Aaah ah chong honest to goodness guy when I go planet I will not let any other mechanics touch my bike except for ah chong

 

 

Originally our headers are not chrome they are sprayed black however I guess you can plate it chrome or somethin..Try Sengkwang at AMK Industrial Park 2

Cool, I like the one headlight design.

Same thing as if ur spraying a 2b bike header bro. Only thing you have to remove the bottom and side fairings. No need to remove header. Just wrap the other parts you dun wanna spray black such as ur radiator, front fender etc with news paper and just spray ur header using a high temp spray. I reckon it will at least stay on for 2-3 months.

how much is it to respray just 1 fuel tank?

average price?

average price?

 

Depends on what design you wanna spray or just one color bro. If one color it should be about $100 plus minus? Best is to go to the shop to enquire

[Gr4vity]

hehehehe I just went to Race werk and tune the carb...quite ex but they are quite detail.

 

Anyone knows where I can recon the header?

It looks rusty and old. Is it possible to polish it back to shinning again?

 

Wonder how much would it cost.

 

actually i'll recommend tuning at K&T...$40 for tuning...definitely better than racewerk..u'll be impressed...i think u can go sengkwang at amk to recon ur header...their workmanship = excellent...their price also very high...haha

Whoa you ordered o-rings for the carbs from overseas? How much did it cost you bro? Overseas as in from Japan or UK? Or Australia? Any websites to recommend?

[anonymouser]

noted with thx guys...

will look ard then...

btw today i went to a bike shop to ask the price of G4's clutch cables...

i was quoted at sgd38 wor...

expensive? or should i go guan hoe?

anyone know the price?

 

I just changed my clutch cable yesterday afternoon at Planet Motors. Cost me $20/-.

[blackant]

nope... not me... send to planet to do.. 80bucks...

Sometimes I think shop wash and tune, because maybe due to busy or wat, they don't really see whether the o-rings is in good condition or not. especially our bike are quite old liao..they might missed it.

I ordered from http://www.altecweb.com/ and UK ebay.

I got the information from this website on carbs -> http://tonysleep.co.uk/gsxr400carbs

 

I want to replace all the o-rings as I notice my idle mixture screw's o-rings are harden but the machanic missed it. Also I can save money asking them to change it.

i can't remember the exact price for wash and tune...but i remember its of reasonable price..but frankly speaking..their washing not very detailed...only their tuning is good

I think with the carbtune, carb cleaner and time, we can do better job then the workshop...hahaha because we will be more detail.

 

Actually tuning the carb isn't a very difficult thing, is the taking out of the carb that is causing the trouble.

I guess with the right tools, time, space and knowledge we can actually service our own bikes like our fellow G4 riders in UK. We can easily get the tools and knowledge however time and space(a workshop?) are not to our advantage.

Brand new original Suzuki parts usually comes in plastic or box with the trademark red S logo. Cost me S$30 to have my speedo cable replaced.
