3-4 years should b abt $2500-3500 depending what owner did to the bike

Thx Bro.

 

I'm gonna be doing some viewings. Can anyone share a picture of:

 

1. Engine block hole that I need to check for leaks?

2. Coolant tank to see if its dried out / rusty coolant inside?

 

I've been trying to search online, but can't find any picture that identifies these things..

 

Sorry for being a newbie.

 

Thanks

My understanding is Ver S got 2 style tailboard:

 

Up to 1996: Same tailboard as PB1

1997 onwards: New style tailboard

Anyone knows if Ver S can interchange these 2 type of tail board? Is it a 1-1 replacement (no need mods)?

Shld be the same. My pb1 last time was changed to the newer model. The mudguard below (black part) was from the older model.

Hi guys. Ive got a question. My buddy recently rode his Ver S out of sg and cruise at 140 to and fro.

When he got back his engine starting making lots of noises. Anyone knows what might be the cause?

Hi Ah Pek,

 

I am having this similar problems.. sudden loss of power. I talk to some shop, they told me mid block replacement is hard to get now and even 2nd hand might already have leaks. how to obtain a brand new mid replacement block when the item is no longer in production? Maybe I should come and visit you some day. show u the signs and symptoms my bike is giving me.. from gear 1 to gear 2 or to gear 3 there is a loss of power than suddenly it will jerk and burst with power.. I am finding this very weird. and my coolant sometimes leaks from the small hole on the right side of my engine fins.. any advice in terms of reasonable maximum total damage?

 

Thank you ah pek.

If it's coolat leaking from the engine block..that I can do without you having to spend on replacing with a 2nd block or new block which can caused quite a lot. As for the jerky power type performance..believe coolant has gotten into ur spark plugs holes and the plug or 2 may be wet and this gives you the effect of the performance you r having..in this case, it is considered more serious and am no sure if my method helps. For now, u can try taking out the thankl and try to dry up the holes..than take out the plugs and see if it's corroded by water. This oso often happened if you washed bike in Malaysia using "jet wash" as waters gets jetted thru the spark plugs rubber cover caps.

Coast about $25 or less to have the pads replaced. The screeching sound may be sign of ur front pads wearing near end liao. Usually..there is a metak marker that scratches ur brake disc to tell you it's time to replace.

There is no "self Check working" status for "Temp" light which indicates that your cooling systeming is running way below specs and temperature is too high to use the bike any further. Not sure about ur meter because there are a lot of "Chiong" ones ppl had installed bekuz it's only 1/3 the price of an original. The circuit board inside has screwed unreliable components.

 

 

Please Advice.

 

 

To know what is ok or not..BE SURE to check ur Coolant Reserve Tank that coolant is up to the correct level and do not have rust power in it..if there's, coloration be like "milo". The other thing is that, if the Temp light comes on..be sure that ur fan was "ON" before the Temp light comes on and that there is no coolant boiling sound from the Reserve coolant tank. If the fan is working b4 temp light is on and no coolant boiling..guess ur meter could be a chiong or multifunction. To tell if the meter is chiong or not..the plastic chroming where the key iginitionhole, signal and neutral lights are is normally more shinny than the original which is kind of matted aluminum look.
