Typical mods and repairs pricing for runners! Old birds pls contribute!

[tsingwei]

I was looking through phantom knights thread and i realise they have this particular thread with pricing for all de typical mods and repairs.

 

Since runners have so many things to mod(outlook/interior) and some common problems e.g water pump, i was thinking it will be nice to have a similar thread for newbies like me to refer to.

 

Do u guys think this is practical? cos i understand runners have a few different models? Maybe the old birds can contribute! cheers.

 

Prices are for 4stokes model, unless stated otherwise.

 

Repairs

 

Water pump $240

Brake pads $18 per pair

Bleeding+brake fluid $20(front and back)

Engine mounting $130-$140

signal switch $15

Magnetic coil

Full service - varies($170 and above depending on parts used.)

**Steering cone ???

 

Cosmetic mods

 

Short windscreen $35

Re-mount IU unit(inside front cover) $25 (highly recommended to diy, very simple)

Remount rear number plate $15

 

 

 

Thanks all for reading and have a nice day!! cheers.

never say 2 stroke or 4 stroke. old bird = old price. which means not accurate. most the things i see in your list is FREE by DIY-ing,except for parts

[HaffizKimi]

Engine mounting $140

[shamoz]

Engine mounting at Botak's the best to me.

I second that.. A down to earth and honest mech.

[bongstar88]

140 engine mounting is only for the 2 shaft and 4 pin bearing( maybe got some other small parts). if u ignore the tell tale sign, u might be given a $400++ receipt for the whole set. anyway price is subjective.

[Suede]

Care to xplain what is engine mounting?

[bongstar88]

So what is the tell tale sign when engine mounting is in need to be service/replace??

 

Magnetic Coil -> $110-$120 from Weda Enterprise @ Rowell Road(Labour not inclusive)

[bongstar88]

ur bike start to wobble when taking turns... sumtimes when on straight road u feel like its not right. it will be harder to detect if u using aftermarket rear suspension.

tat happen to me, my bearings all koyak liow, lucky have not affect the main mounting. all the while i thought it was my rear tire not having enuff pressure or the road were uneven or slippery.

best if feel its not right, go for a check up @ ur nearest fav shop.

Let me start the ball rolling with a few repairs i have done under my care:

 

Repairs

 

Water pump $240

Brake pads $18 per pair

Bleeding+brake fluid $20(front and back)

**Engine mounting ???

**Steering cone ???

 

Cosmetic mods

 

Short windscreen $35

Re-mount IU unit(inside front cover) $25

Remount rear number plate $15

 

**These are repairs that i have yet to do, maybe u guys can contribute and i can update.

 

The prices above are what i paid, they may be overpriced as im new and may have been chopped without noticing. Hope the old birds can give more accurate AVERAGE pricings. Understand that price varies from shop to shop. i will update reguarly if response is good.

 

Thanks all for reading and have a nice day!! cheers.

 

Another great & useful thread..Thanks a zill!!

 

Anyway, on my part only done what they called, a full-service with EO, oil-filter, rollers, belt, gear-oil replaced. And not forgetting Air-filter (still using stock as planning b4 to change to open-port type but heard its illegal & can kena saman!! damn!!) condition check. All costing @ sgd190 (promo/member-price or so they claim to be!) @ Future Sc******g.

Nice mech named, A-Woo, I think but too many advises from him to change this & that also not so "healthy"..Can end-up being "POISON"!!! Haha...

 

Will update for next visit.

 

Thanks & ride safe ppl.

Just went for a full service at Botak for my ST200..(mileage 13k)

(Botak insist me to come back at 18k)

After serviced, bike feels better than brand new...

No more those 'jerk2' feeling when moving off at low speed.

Can reached higher speed @ lower rpm.

 

- New belt (oem)

- Serviced auto clutch (other shops will tell you to change to a new 1 which is totally bullshit)

- New clip (oem), u-shoe (oem)

- New rollers (oem)

- New EO, oil filter

- New Denso Iridium spark plugs

- Serviced/cleaned air filter

- Serviced/cleaned transmission

- Greased and lubricate necessary areas

- Full bike inspect

- Free mechanical advise

 

Now bike runs better than new.

Cost $280nett(seems ex but think again) - Satisfied!!

If it's wobbling felt from the rear wheel den probably ur engine mounting but ST200 is probably too new..

 

If u're talking about the handle wobbling, it's very normal for Gilera especially at higher speeds..

[tsingwei]

have updated some of the contributions from u guys. thanks!

 

looks like botak is highly recommended. wanna go there do my engine mounting already! been dragging for too long. didnt know that wobbling from the rear is a tell tale sign. all along i thought it was my tires. cos my rear wheel using irc.

 

anyway, can anyone guide me on removing of coverset for 05 model. thinking of a diy respray.

 

thinking of going down botak sometime next week. any kakis wan go tgt? staying at east side/tampines.

[shamoz]

botak's very detailed when he does full servicing.a plus point i see in him comparing to other shops which dont.not being bias or what,but the fact that he opens up the clutch to regrease,etc, reduces wear and tear and at the same time being very practical.some may call it pricey,but i call it worthwhile.

[ApitSpark]

thankx for the info guys.. i brought my gilera frm the bike shop at the front of Botak's shop. i like wanna go and ask botak to look at my bike.. but like paiseh lah.. hahahaha..
