heheheh bro i work alt wkend leh leh:)

ya i saw the cool shield of chan, cover the headlight plus extension shield rit? Actuali thought of doing tat if got no more choice liao..maybe if i can wil go on wkday to ur JB shop lor.. opp best world area near to the petrol kiosk rit? if i can get any i wil post on the net:) anyway I asking my jb frd see whether they can find shop who can do shield n best quality without crackin:)

 

very correct...around that area...

 

yup...that's the shield...looks great.but sometimes the baja without shield also ok...

 

i wish i still have my XR6R...then just use stock tank,baja headlite,yoshi full system and do a Scott Summers replica...it would look awesome although its outdated...

anyways,since you have a jb friend,ask if he able to find a place can do stainless steel?

exhaust and sidetanks would be nice.

Takehow...i came across this...since our Ignition sometimes failed on us...why not we try do a little cleanup in the ignition rather than spend $120 for a new ignition...

 

check this out..our ignition contacts must have been dirty or something...its worth to do the cleanup..who knows it might solve it totally...

If you remove the two screws in the next picture this will get you into where the contacts are that need replacing when the switch fails.

Here is what you have when the two pieces are separated

Another thing that I have read in the past is that lubing where the key goes in will help lube your contacts and make them last longer. I do not see this doing anything but lubing the pins in the cylinder and getting your pocket dirty . If we look past the upper set of contacts you can see a little bit more of how the switch is built.

http://venturers.org/Tech_Library/attachments/image005.jpg

 

 

 

As you can see the piece in the bottom of the picture gets screwed into the assembly (pretty much sealing it off) and is taking the rotation of the cylinder and transferring it to the contacts. The key cylinder itself is still down in the bottom of the assembly and there is really no way for any lube to make it to the contacts. Here is another picture showing the bottom of the switch.

i have no idea leh when to do...now the bike just keep going,so i just keep riding lah...the saying goes,if it ain't broken,don't fix it.

[kish_garfield]

checked out a TDm at a shop FV plate...want to start the engine to listen to the sound....but cant even turn the key...guess it might be the problem similar to why u guess want to service it.....

[plasticblackspecs]

Nope. That's a Yamaha thing. You need to tilt the key down a bit then can turn. At first I tot it's was old ignition problem, but then it was stated in the manual and suddenly everything went ohh.....(cos I couldn't turn my friend's Yamaha Royal Star )

 

I think their problem is a different thing

Oh is it? Learnt something new. Sounds like scooter. Hold rear brake then can crank.

[kish_garfield]

tah i know for suzy...tried that rocking thing for the yammy but cannot...well jus wanted to try it...not getting that cause the owner like nv take care from the state of it

 

so many drilled holes for the back...

[ansmania]

Anyone wanna do a ride during Vesak day?

[plasticblackspecs]

Tried just tilt down slightly, and gently and turn? No need rock so much.

 

Vesak day I going to see water leh. Huge bodies of water. How bout a day ride one of these weekends? Maybe Sundays?

Try to use WD40 with the extended tube & lube the keyhole, as WD40 act as a clean agent.....it might 'flush' the 'dirt' out.

[plasticblackspecs]

....extended tube & lube....

 

kinky!

[AJ..]

kinky indeed...

I've tried slide my tube deeper into the openings...once i hit the notch,i released it with the liquid....of the wd40 that is...what were you guys thinking?

 

It climaxes once in awhile...but still face the same situation at times.

[plasticblackspecs]

Maybe you should try inserting and removing, wash, rinse then repeat to clear the carbon build up? Use something slightly more ribbed for her pleasure. Might help prolong it?

[ansmania]

alrite for me...but be warned...i m no longer riding above 150km/hr.

[nukye]

What do ya mean dude? Change bike already ah?

[AJ..]

What do ya mean dude? Change bike already ah?

 

 

no lah...

 

 

just before my last trip,i did some changes to the bike.

 

during the fraser trip,i was using the front pirelli semi off-rd that wobbles above 180km/hr and during the fraser trip,i didnt use any sidecases and top box,bike hit 196km/hr wobble badly.so here,i have the conclusion maybe bcoz of the front tire max speed not to exceed above 150km/hr

 

So before this trip,i have removed the capalang balancer and replaced it with those Acerbis handgrds bar end.

another thing is i installed the alu panniers..not sure if the not aero dynamic shape might have an effect.and the rack was modded.so maybe the mounting points are not very strong having alot of vibration when its fully loaded.

Last point,my front tyre is michelin sirac not tubeless which i have installed with tube in it.

 

so at this moment,the stable cruising speed is there.
