I have the same queries.

I'd sent a email to ask some experts.

And a expert from AT_Asia got a cheaper solution, but of course Ohlin still the best in the market.

Below are his reply.

 

"AT's OEM suspension will be too soft if you carry a pilllion. What I suggest is to replace fork spring with a stiffer & progressive spring from Technoflex($190 include installation). For the rear shock, we have Technoflex shocks that are set up to rider's specification like weight & type of riding(rd/off-rd). It is a modular design so you can choose what options you want or what budget you can afford. It is fully adjustable & you can even specify to increase/decrease ride height."

so where can get the technoflex fork spring done....n wats the cost or the rear shock....

[AFT777]

You can write back to Chan. He was the guy who told me about technoflex too. Technoflex is a very good shock i would say after he explained all the details and how it werks. Example, it can be tuned to the weight of yourself, your pillion, soft/hard, height, off/on-road terrain and many more which i can't remember. He did not mentioned whether it can be fixed to other makes of bike except AT.

Reviving this thread.

any more AT Riders here?

 

need some advices...

 

Any idea what's the price now for:

1) 2yr old AT

2) 3yr old AT

3) 4yr old AT

4) Brand new AT

 

thinking of upgrading to a class 2, had tried Goldwing, AT, Vara, still can't decide on what bike to get... but looking at tourer, sports tourer, enduro type of category....

 

for me, most of the time will be city riding (to and from work), and very seldom go for long trips up north...

 

any recommendations?

 

thanks alot!

Hi.

I am an AT rider for 6 months. Bought it brand new at $17.5K OTR, could be cheaper now.

 

Most of the AT in town are fill with accessories. So the price will varies.

FR or FS plate year 1999 or 2000 with accessories will cost around $10K

+/- $1K

take a look at the Bike Specs section, think they have a thread for each bike, discussing all about them

 

But from what my own research, both Fazers comes with centrestands which is a big plus in my book especially when they are chain driven.

 

Fuel consumption the 600 wins of course, I'll expect it to be slightly more than a super4 only... provided you're gentle on the throttle....

 

Less weight and power also means less wear and tear on components such as tyres, chain, sprocket, brakes.

 

If I had the choice and money, I'll go for a 2002 Fazer 600, tried and proven bike in the UK, ought to do well here.

 

[Sev]

tried an AT last week, need to tip toe when i sitting on it...

very difficult to do forward or reverse....

its seat too high for me... think i cannot ride an AT liao... dont like the insecure feeling ( tip toe when at rest )... emergency time sure cannot support the bike...

 

sianz....

 

anyone know what is the seat height for translap 650... can find it in singapore? saw a dominator before, is it good? looks smaller & lower than AT....

[hardnail]

thanks for the info, btw, what's the fuel consumption for your africa twin?

 

i've test rode both the varadero and the africa twin... both seems around the same in handling wise... but vara is more powerful... but heard that the fuel consumption is very high....

 

really cant decide on which one to take.... cos both around the same price rite?

 

btw, i saw a FV Africa Twin, selling at 13.8k, is it worth? mileage around 36,000km

 

really cant decide... cos if buy varadero, will grumble of the fuel consumption... if buy AT, will grumble of the power... btw, talking about the power... any idea what's the 0-100km for both varadero and the africa twin? can't seem to find it in the specs in the net....

 

any riders got any advices on what should i get?

i'm currently searching for info on fazer 600 and 1000 as recommended by will-liu.,... any one got any informative websites to share?

 

thanks!
