wah piang eh!!!! just found out that someone sabo my bike!!! damn it!!!! he drilled a small hole on the plastic part. i don't know what you call it but it's something like a protector to the front fork. believe to be protecting the stones from having a direct hit onto the fork. that's the 2 small plastic cover just above the front mud guard. sim tia le!!!!!

 

Fork protector...Hmmm... maybe it a good idea... Will take a look at your bike. Seem like there new thing for me to do again

comics00 - i got a set of the 020s at $320 at Loois. i could be mistaken but heard someone got it $30 cheaper somewhere else.

 

casio - that 2 piece of plastic that measures approx 1" by 2" ? paste sticker to cover lah. i'm usually the first to leave and it's abt 10+pm

[casio]

last checked with HL, one piece cost 5.50 to replace the fork protector. but currently no stock. anyway, what's done cannot be undone. dont worry abt it. had to get used to it.

 

solo, if you were the first to leave at 10 plus.. then the rest must be around cinderella time?

 

i heard that the original tyres that came with the stock (mez 4) is not very good. better to have bt020. is this true? in wat way the bt020 is better than the mez4?

we dont stay out too late lah ~11pm latest 'cos all got to work the next day:sweat:

 

after ~2mths on the BT020 feels that it is noisy (rather loud) as compare to the met z4 but the road holding feels better, gives me more confident.

hey..

 

sky doesn't look too good. if rain, still on or not? must look at the map and see where is mempurong rd

 

[solo]

casio - mez4 feels like complete rubbish to me. 020s are much better. like comics00 said, 020s are confidence inspiring and have better grip. it leans quicker too. the bad point is noise. brake and it goes screeeech. a tap on the rear brake is all it takes to frighten some pedestrians

 

comics00 - can't remember who told me. will ask around and let you know if i have that lobang again.

looks like bt020 is really a better buy since so many of you actually changed it. will consider it once my mez4 is about to "go".

 

i hope no one turned up last night.. couldn't contact any of you. but even if i wanted to go, the rain was too heavy. let's set a new date, time & venue.

 

any recommended engine oil to use for our tdm?

poor thing. next time better sms each other first. else jia lat.. you going to melaka this sat? have a good ride.. won't be able to join. need to be in spore.

 

castrol good? no good? how abt shell? i'm sure when you guys do the servicing, you send the bike to a shop right? Dili?

 

still have that irritating "tik" sound when i turn my handle bar from left to right to left. wonder what's wrong.

wah.. so macho looking ar?

[apogez]

lump of lard... muahahaha

that's a good one...

 

yo solo,

manage to get the pcb to fit the pilot light liao. if go by number of holes, is 22x9.

Although have to cut a slot (size not sure yet, half way thru, heavy rain, no shelter) in the top center. With the slot, will fit nicely into the pilot light holder. Dun forsee any movement of the pcb after installation

[solo]

back to bikes....

apogez - will try to meetup to check it out.

Yo solo,

actually the +150mm screen is ok for high speed (>170km/h), provided i have to tilt my head down a bit. Will feel tired in the long distance.

Thus was wishing that the screen could just extend abit longer.

 

For deflecting of bugs, believe that when you sit normally, the top of the screen should just reach your chin or eyes... made it your nose then. This way the air would get deflected up and over your helmet.

 

Mine just reach around my chin.

 

As you know that our screen is secure by 6 screws, all on the lion head, therefore a taller screen may experienced unwanted stress in high speed. How true is this i not so sure... but in the law of mechanics/materials/etc/etc....

yesterday clean my bike n counted 7 screws on the shiled, Y u said 6 screws:confused:

 

Btw if u guys ordering from "eagle" think u must specify its the model, TDM 850 or 900 'cos both diff 'lion head'.
