Hey Barra, I welcome u to the Beem of Bra-dders first

Eh...too early man. Not even back in SGP to do anything. At least till after June. Thanks in advance Keeping my options really open and not rush into getting. So GSgabe's GS is just one of the options. I also prefer a 'newer' bike say like a 2002-03 model.

SURGE???

======

Discover following :

 

quote

 

A fair number of Beemers surge which makes it impossible to hold constant speed at certian throttle positions. Some poeple have described it like moving the throttle back and forth slightly and some complain that the bike feels like its trying to throw them off. I've been on a couple of Ses and a couple of Rs and never felt it, but enough people say its there for me to believe them. Some peopel think that BMW developed the dual plug engines to eliminate the problem. Suffice it to say, mine has never had that problem.

 

REPLY TO ABOVE FROM SOME1 :

 

You're fortunate. I used to own a '99 RT that surged. The dealer couldn't correct it. It became so annoying that after a little over 10k miles I sold the bike.

Hiye fellas, my beloved Bertha will be under the tender loving care of Chua over the weekend. There's some problem with the electrical wiring. Needs to get some parts from PML also. So, decided not to rush him for my trip to KL this weekend. Asked him to do slowly lah, so he can do properly also. Think it will be worse if something happens while I'm on my way. Anyway, requested him to service my starter also and help see what else wear and tear need to change/service. Sigh.... just now I saw the 'skeleton' of my bike, because Chua dismantled almost all the covers uh. hahaha. U guys enjoy urself this weekend lah. I'm back to taking bus....

If the previous owner have serviced and change the clutch at PML, it should carry a warranty.

Also how come on their website, the price for the grey/blue is lesser (600+) than other colors (900+).

Hey Koma, hold your horses!!!! Chk this out, PIAA's recommendation:

 

Choosing a lamp

In order to properly choose which lamp will work best for you, it's important to consider the type of driving that you do. There are three primary reasons for wanting more light:

Increasing conspicuity - making it easier for other motorists to see you, any time of day or night

This is easy to address - pretty much ANY additional light you put on your bike will increase your conspicuity. Some lighting systems from other vendors are pretty much useful for this purpose and no other - but all of the PIAA lamps available here will also meet one of the following criteria.

Nighttime performance - making it easier for you to see the road at night

All of our light kits are available with at least one option for nighttime driving improvement. This is the most popular selection for motorcyclists, as most of us have more opportunity to ride at night than to ride in the fog. PIAA lamps are ideal for nighttime use, because most of them cast a perfectly round beam. Most other lamps are designed to give an oval or rectangular pattern, putting more light to the sides than up into the air. This is appropriate for a car, but remember that cars don't lean into corners! With a patterned lamp, when you lean into a corner all of your light is going straight into the ground and up into the sky - there is nothing to light your way into a curve. PIAA driving lamps, by offering a beam that puts light out equally in the vertical plane as in the horizontal, will light your way through the Twisties just as well as on a flat highway.

Foul weather - improving both your view and others' ability to see you in bad weather

What makes a fog lamp? Many drivers think that any lamp with a yellow bulb is a "Fog lamp". Actually, the color of the bulb has very little to do with a lamp's foul-weather performance. Fog lamps have a wide, flat beam that casts no light upward, where it would be reflected back into your eyes by water droplets in the air. Unfortunately, for the same reasons that many driving lights don't work well on motorcycles (as explained above), fog lights have a limited usefulness as well. They work fine when the bike is driving straight-and-level, but as soon as you bank into a curve the effectiveness drops dramatically. For this reason, we generally recommend that riders choose fog lamps only as their second set of auxilliary lighting, after they have added driving lamps. There may well be exceptions (Seatlle riders, perhaps), but as a rule of thumb stick with the driving lamps

 

I think this will be more suitable:
