Finally have a chance for a short ride after collect back my bike from the shop 4 day back..After lower bike and install main stand at times corner hit the stand.. Backside very pain need to do something to the seat. Temperature during idling almost shoot all the way to the Red zone at the end

of white zone then the fan 2nd speed kick in to bring it down to 3 quater? ( Normal or not 1?)

total clock 205 km upon reach 2nd link R&R DROP 2 BAR of fuel gauage.

 

backside pain, its very normal too. hahaha it depends on your iron butt on how much you can tolerate.

 

i did my seat @ eugene saddlery, it is definitely better in terms of comfort and grip as compared to the stock seat, but i wouldn't say excellent. the pain and sore will still kick in after 45 mins to 1 hour of riding.

 

if you do have a solution for it, please let me know. the only thing i can think of is gel seat ....

Regards,

kifakw

 

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car

and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall,

torque is how far you take the wall with you.

It's very normal that temp gauge to hit near the red mark. But once the fan kicks in, the temperature will drop pretty fast too. But from what I know there isn't any fan 2nd speed...

 

Is the fan kick in. Error. May be should flush my coolant system and add in ENGINE ICE. Might improve the temperature issue.

my stock seat cover started to tear after 5 years and got it replaced at eugene saddlery. after waiting for 4 hrs, a new look emerged. had the gel added to the seat, chose a more tacky material too. comfort level increased slightly but noticeable. your soreness may not be due to the seat, but might be the nature of your backside ...hahaha

Sorry Bro Joseph, order being placed on 25Jun already...

 

For your info, I also purchase the mount lock knob . There are 2 types, one made of brass which it cost a few cents more. The other one is made of steel, which will tends to rust...

Senile ?!

 

Or merely age is catching up extremely fast . . . hahaha !!

 

Can feel the difference liao... On an average day usually no energy to do the routine stuff. Only excitement I have most days is when I jump onto the saddle and ride...!!!
