I was awaken yesterday past midnite when my bike alarm sounded, went down and deactivated it and found nothing unusual. This morning went down and wipe my bike after the morning rain and discover my head light protecter missing. Sian.

Leo,

 

Sad to hear that. Try covering your bike with bike cover.

any after market halogen buld wont give much plm for use in Singapore roads unless authority come after u, almost all our roads r well lited.

 

BUT at nite on mlysia NSHW or Thail road u'll get plms & worst still if their road markings werent well maintained, cant see properly if it's there unless u lift up ur helmet visor. during fogs & rain at nite along NSHW r th worst...!

I was looking at the light switch on the right and wonder if this can be done:

 

Since we need to ride with light on regardless of day and night, can we permanently set it to on at all time (even if the light switch position at off) and modify the switch for hazard light when position is at on position.

 

Just a thought, but wonder if this is possible. Any one has the answer?

other discussion session like trouble shoot & diagnosing faults r sat during weekly Weds nite.

[FunkyChicken]

COOL...........look forward to mit up u guys.

another 7year old ST1100 with coolant hose plm, was the coolant pump's breather hose, a little long 30cm hose under thermostat housing beneath the 2 engine block coolant hoses.

 

it was badly corroded, the nipple joint to the hose were heavily soiled with vapourised mineral residue, causing it to crack, loosing pressure & coolant leaking. partial the reason could be ageing deterioration but unlikely.

 

the coolant we use should be properly mixed with distilled water instead of from tap source, this is to prevent mineral residue from forming, proper mixed coolant will also enable optimum operating temperature.

 

PS note guys..

--- leaking of what & exactly which part the stain leak out from..?

--- could be faulty pump kit or slave pump unit's oil seal leaking cuzing it to unable to press, should cost less than a hundred to get it done at any bike shop.

Hi FunkyChicken,

 

For your clutch problem, mostly will be your clutch master pump problem as the brake fluid level does not drop. Get your bike shop do change it, roughly will cost 30~50(depend on the shop). If DIY clutch master pump repair kits cost abt $25 plus brake fluid(dunno how much liao).

you can check your clutch slave have any leak by looking at the clutch housing area if there oil stain. If change the whole slave pump will cost abt $60 and if only yhe seal inside think less than 10 or 20.... (Price quoted are DIY)
