Thx casio, I'm fine. Jus a little more safety conscious now..

Go for a ride wth brand new tires? Ain't that like against the books?

What are your plans?

 

Anyway, whats are your tots on the 020 tires?

I wanted to change to this but my friend, the mech, said there are complains about on its performance (road gripping) after about 6 months of usage.

 

Anyone wants to see the internals of the MEZ4 tire?? I was bored while the mechs were sorting out my bike and I ended up cutting my old tire up.... lol

bro yappiez, if u have read through the FJR & this thread u will notice many of us have complain on the met Z4 & not bt020. my bike on Z4 fishtail so many times that i lost count:giddy: on the bt020 atleast i dare to 'kup' at coners but not on the Z4

[solo]

happy with the bt020 so far but it's not 6 months old yet. will let you know in a few months time stay away from mez4... maybe you would like to be the guinea pig for z6?

[yappiez]

Bro Barra, any tots on the mez4 so far?

I seem to find it ok since i bought the bike with them already... i decided to buy the same ones.. or maybe i dun kup as low as any of you guys.... (must be!)

 

Thinking aloud...

Damn who am I going to tour with next time... i'll never catch up.....

I've been a fan of the Z4s since my ducati monster days. It has not failed me so far. I have never tried the 020s, so my opinion could be abit biased. Maybe the 020s are better? I dunno and cant comment on the 020s. You've seen me in action on my TDM with Z4s, are you convinced about the cornering capabilities? hehehe

 

No worries about catching up lah...now you know what kind of 'tricks' we use to ride through twisties..you'll be faster

[barracuda]

Someone asked about spoke wheel conversions? How about rerouting the original exhaust to hi-mount as well???

Guys TDMers,

I would like to check with you people how much does a TDM9's mirror cost... ..I like the convex on the mirror which eliminate the air pressure on the mirror..as for the divvy's are flat sided after some time the mirror turn's in or off viewing angle.

 

I bought I pair $68x2=$136/- one of my divvy kaki say it is about $79 for 2 mirrors...

 

You are a better people to clear my doubts:confused: ..and thanks!!

I'm not too sure how much it cost as most of us have not had the need to replace it. Where did u get for $136? If its HL then I guess the price is ard there. The $79 price is a far cry from $136. If its true, then its a better deal. Will check with HL the next time I drop by.

Hi guys,

 

I placed the front licence plate on the fork top of the mud guard for a day,

& found that the ops temp went up. It would seem that the little blockage of air flow over the radiator was effective enough to affect the cooling.

Not red line but about 3/4 on the guage during cruising. Usually only 1/2.

 

Removed licence plate from there & everything bk to normal again.

 

Where else can we put the licence plate, other than on the screen?

[barracuda]

I've seen one of our TDM riders put the license plate below the headlight cowling. You might need to drill a whole to mount it though. Does not seem to block the radiator air flow path. Why don't want to stick on windscreen???

Hi there,

Have you try mounting it on the mudguard, need to drill 2 hole for the L/plate mountings on the mudguard (it is better then drilling any where else)....those (black)plastic mounting cost about $2 for 2 pieces...

Hi Guys..

 

Think i'm the one Barracuda was referring re number plate under the headlight. It's true. I had it there and never encounter air flow prob.

 

Anyway, i will be selling my bike off due to personal reason. So, if you have any friends who are interested to own this special bike, please sms me at 98778149.

 

The accessories i have on the bike: -

 

1. Givi Windshield

2. Bagster Seat

3. Bagster Tank Bra

4. Bagster Soft Panniers

5. Givi Maxia 52Lit Top Box

6. Contour Headlight Protector

7. Motovation Frame Slider

 

Sorry.. all accessories goes with the bike

 

I have also recently changed both tired to Batlax 020. Paid 310 for it. Was changed on 6 Aug 04.

 

Bike's mileage is under 11K and i last serviced it when it was 8K. Generally the bike is in tip top condition and there will be no more repairs needed. View the bike to believe.

 

The bike also comes with a bidded number plate (88).

 

Asking price with number is 14K and without plate is 13K. I got it in April. It's a damn good bike and if i have means to keep it, i would have done so. But sadly, i couldn't.

 

BTW, i can't seemed to upload the pic. Anyway, just sms or call me and i will email you the pic.

 

Cheers

hey guys, do you happen to know where i can get the dent in my fuel tank removed? possibly caused by removing of helmet too enthusiatically... car workshops have that, how about bike mechs? called up Mtechnik and was told that they only do putty and respray. prefer the "knock it back into shape" type
