You sure that will help? How will that work man? The oil can go inside meh?

[yinghai]

Most fork are hydraulics.. As time goes by, fork oil gets thinner and dirty... This oil goes through some tight holes to create the rebound damping and other effects.. The thinner it gets, the easier it flows.. Thats why we are supposed to service the fork after some time.. But most shop prefer to do the short cut by dripping..

[crazydj]

Can i just open the fork oil seal and pour it inside?

Anyone selling ybr or know anyone selling one?

Hmm cos im a lousy rider so i need a lousy bike.

Maybe 'everyone' have never seen how the bike kena whack by those delivery riders and still can last. And also CDC. How many people buang before but bike still rideable after every lesson.

[Limhg]

How much you looking at? Yep they chose it because its cheap to buy and cheap to run and insure. its cheap la. But cheap and good fun.

[crazydj]

Only people who have no skill or poor ride this bike. I am both. No skill and poor. Never go out with friends because need to use petrol and waste money. Damn sad la. So many things spoil i still havent yet fixed.

 

I still dunno why you want this bike. Always spoil. Everything always spoil.

[yinghai]

Maybe your bike needs a good doctor..

You always replace your parts with the cheapest you can find is it? Mine other than change coil nothing else le leh. Oh yar! Your bike got fuse? or relay? Your bike always seem to be electronic problem. Frying all ur electrical parts one by one.

[Limhg]

I suggest you bring the bike to check specifically the wiring. See got any missing important parts and any loose wiring that can cause short circuit. That time u always say bike no problem very boring... lol Cannot say one, very pantang one.

[yinghai]

Its better we meet up and you take your time telling me your problem one by one..

It is boring. No problem. The thing is that, the things that spoil all is minor minor and irritating. Its not like you know other bikes where spoil then damn ex. 30 cents bulb here and there. Damn irritating sia. Give up la. As long can move can already. 2016 then see whether keep or scrap.

 

Now forks damn soft one. I getting fatter but still, the forks shouldn't be so soft. Last time also like this. Replace fork oil and seals, 1 year later, become soft again. Its like when i sit down on my bike, the forks go down all the way more than 3/4 or 75%. Maybe i too fat liao...

 

I think all my accident is because of the forks. When i hard brake, the forks go all the way down to 100%, then cannot go anymore, resulting in the wheel lock. I dunno how to explain but i think you guys should know la. Because at low speed, i can hit my brakes hard until it reaches maximum then the wheel will lock because got no more 'play' at the suspension.

[yinghai]

You need ohlins.. Hahas.. I get you some bulbs.. Led bulbs.. Its not a normal led bulb that always blow..

[crazydj]

I actually had an idea in my mind. Its basically 2 fork braces modified to hold a spring in the middle. Basically just to add a little more firmness to the fork. You think its possible? Basically i weigh 105kg. And i do not think its me because many who ride this bike say that the front suspension is excessively soft after some time.

[yinghai]

Why do that when you can get change the internal spring to a hard one?? Check with you mech what springs are available..

Any good mech to recommend?

[slownsteady]

2004 ybr but coe till early 2015. Selling at 1.5k. Mileage 30k km. Owner is uncle. Good deal?

[Limhg]

Let us meet up so we can see your bike la. mine is also 06 model. So u can compare and see what we need to replace. Weekday coffee session afterwork will be good.

 

@Ying Hai- Help me install the leds le!

 

Forks can replace with rxz one. but the disk brake gotta change. Maybe u can go malaysia to salvage one used rxz forks for peanuts.

[crazydj]

Mine is an '05 model bro... Haha... But registered in Jan 2006.

[crazydj]

Looks like i am not the only one with the soft forks for the '05 YBR.

[yinghai]

Ybr is not the only bike that has this problem.. All bikes will somehow have thier fork soft unless frequent servicing.. This is wear and tear.. Not a problem to a one particular bike.. Usually i service my bike at caltex along braddle road..
