Disappointed;tried to ask Seng Kwang Fabrication metal works to just install a HB topbox rack to my bike and William quoted me $260!!!!!!just to fix. he's obviously trying to chop me. I asked him blatantly why so expensive and comes up with some c*ck and b*ll about how he has life time warranty!...best part is I went back to mTecknic and Chan says its ridiculous pricing, usually slightly below hundred or hundred plus...

 

ANY lao jiao here know them personally , will I be able to get a better price.

Hmmm I also think it's expensive... But too bad.. It's a monopoly.

Congrats to Nukeye!Sweet pics!!

Btw morning guys.I understand that TDM is a bike with a very very reliable big bore parallel twin engine and also low maintenance so I was wondering what are e important or rather major things to look out for SERVICING after mileage has gone beyond 100,000km.I'm pretty sure there will there are bound to be worn out parts/components etc so have anyone experience this?

Thanks:)

 

 

you worry too much....if it ain't broke,don't try to fix it....

 

the more you spend time riding the TDM around places...the more you will be confident that it will take you there....unless..it's something visible and something you can be sure at...

 

you can save the money for rainy days now,rather than worrying about this and that and start changing this and that listening to what people say...

 

All you know...suddenly after replacing so many expensive wear and tear items....you go touring...then....you're out of nowhere...you have a stationary bike and can't go on....

You're wondering..."nabei...i spend so much replacing coil,rectifier,timing chain,etc....but now i still got stranded"....

 

 

guess what's the problem?

 

you have a nail pierced right through your rear wheel.....the thing that you have forgotten is,to buy tyre repair kit....and....footpump....

 

then you have to fork out hundreds of dollars for the biketow...

 

 

So moral of the story...if you're bike ain't coughin....stop worry'in....

[AJ..]

secret agent and hsphalt...be prepared...somewhere in March or early april...

 

we will do the big tankers goes camp again....

 

TM...well....sure can....Sat i try hor....but as you know lah...morning go....by 1pm have to go liao....need to change diapers.....

 

 

And nukyeman told me this morning....

 

 

The dragon is no longer hidden,and the tiger no longer needs to crawl when it can do the missionary.....

My friend went there to fabricate a GPS holder and was charged slightly less than $50 but when I went there about a week ago,he quoted me $150!Wth?!My intention is just to share my experience about the ridiculous quotations.Seng Kwang is a shop which does quality work but I think they have to come up with some sort of pricing list for their various fabricating services.My 2cents:)

True.I'll just ride and observe this bike for some time.I'm still trying to understand e unique character of this parallel twin engine...

Thanks for your 2cents A.J.

now u know why I normally I go sat/sun morning 9-12pm so afternoon can accompany wife and kids so they won't have anything to complain...the only complain is me being very tired after TM...haha...

 

anyway see how bah... cos thinking of going to sporting to do my fork dust cover...cfm again

 

By the way I went to fix the ohlin spring today since i was release from work early...my god!!! I must say it's $$$ well spend!!!...all the while ever since I been riding the TDM, I felt that it's not very stable in high speed and think maybe this is usual for TDM...but after changing the spring...it change my perception of TDM yet again. Can feel the bike more glued to the tarmac and stable at speeds. Handling improve greatly too. I did the whole servicing of the shock too even though the mechanic says it's condition looks ok maybe partly due to my low mileage. But thinking that mine is already a 7yr old bike might as well do one shot in case afew mths later suddenly got leak...cheaper workmanship since already changing spring and check check the shock consition too. True enough, the oil that was drain out was almost like new(according to the mech). But nevermind as now my bike is now with Ohlin spring and Ohlin fork oil...haha

 

I highly recommend you guys for this inexpensive mod thanks to inccubus!

No prob bro. Like I said anything to make our riding experience better we must share. And I agree with you I feel more confident riding with my new upgraded shocks.

[inccubus]

[nukye]

Got other metal works shop that can do la. Just dunno where only. Try yellow pages? Or just buy the metal and ask your friendly mechanic to wield for you. Punching holes on metal not easy though. Get special drill bit. The one in your pants not hard enough. hahaha.

Usually,if just buy dustcover,it will be supercheap...but since you're doing the fork,might as well change the forkseal as well....
