Haahaa... If you can't find the icon, you know who to look for right...

Always happy to help bros....

Firstly best to change the frok oil to min 10W or best to 15W (aka heavy) spec, them set the pre-load 2 to 3 lines from the top &

lastly damping on the third clicks or spot (btw max is 4 clicks).

 

But u also hv to set the rear shock to match up the front,,,, it not u will be riding a bike that feel like a chopper bike, front end hard

while soft.......

 

Im using all stock as i felt tat the claims tat it is 'too soft' is from the ang mo (cos normally they r much bigger in term of weight as

compared to asian dude like us). Jz tat i play ard & set them i the way i would like it to respond to my riding style.......

 

 

hi bro..thanks for the detailed advice,took a few tries... until i found the setting which i prefer,NYCE!

but have not changed the fork oil, wil do so soon...

it was dropped to 11. previous days... and today, it's 10.6. battery is 1 year + old.

 

it is not charging well ? daily rides are only 15min rides to and fro work only

When u riding, the volt meter reading went up or not? If not most probably ur rectifier soon going kapppooozzzz.... or ur voltmeter spoilt lah...

Our moto battery can last longer than 1+ yrs leh... can also due to the batt.. U can try recharge the battery first..

[kmax]

today 10.6~10.8 is volt reading is while riding bro...

 

guess i need longer ride to recharge battery.... wanted to join camping trip but need to work saturday for half day.

haahaha

I got 1 solution Lord Kmax...

 

 

take that voltmeter,throw it in the dustbin.

 

Then you eyes can focus on better things like chicks on miniskirts,rather than that little thing stuck on your panel...

If the voltage keep droping, it might due to charging coil. If the rectifier spoil, ur voltage sometime might go higher then 14V.

 

Correct me if wrong....

[kmax]

just called Auto M.

 

coil 330, rectifier 170

Leong is rite,,,, likely is the coil cos if the rectifier is cooked, the voltage will go 'jumping' but

on the high side of the voltage.....

 

Rectifier is there to keep the volt stable while charging...... will sugguest MY LORD to change the

coil as pro-long usage on fautly coil might lead to weak & totally discharged batt........
