Hello hello.... bo koon ah??

BUay Koon. Stoopid Wheel Bearings or Final Drive BEarings....

 

Found out from what I am guessing. Maybe even my Timing Chain and Valve Springs are worn....

 

Listen to the sound..... At the end of each REV of my bike... there is a rattling sound.... Listen carefully.

 

Rattling Sound From the engine.

Yes Cyclops,

 

I Suspect thats the problem. Seems like an interesting project. Might talk to Kriss about this problem and suggest to get the CAM Tensioner Changed. But need to find out the cost.

[PL]

I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences, man....

 

Anyway, think kopi is off due to low turnout. Going to do my own things tonight.

Hi everyone, i just came back fm Indonesia, was there to attend my father's funeral, long story, so shall not elaborate here.

 

GS for me? Unlikely, RT may b, as for S, getting sian now, purpose of getting 2nd bike is 4 touring & 2ups, saw many reviews tt it is not pillion friendly. So, will put on hold

 

GSGABES, wont b going to Cameron Highland, no spares, BC just ordered 2day, require at least 2 weeks to arrive. U guys enjoy.

 

Kopi @ Carmen 2nite still on or off, anyway, may drop by 2 c if u guys are there.

Sorry to hear the unfortunate event. Condolences.....

 

Ok about Cameron, We will try our best to cancel and see how, either try to find a replacement or see whther hotel can refund.

[Cyclop aka Sideways]

My condolences, so sorry to hear that.

 

GS1200 and I will be at the vicinity, so if anyone still wants a late drink, just drop us a SMS.

 

Cheers.

Yep, an RT would probably be a better choice as a tourer For me, the 'S' is for picking up chio bus

 

So.....RT1200 ...... Looks damn enticing but price is ......... Its selling for $18k in Europe, I tink its going to cost almost $50K here man

Yep, don't think its gonna be cheap.... but I feel that its not gonna be too much more than say a Shoei Syncrotec an a wired intercom system.

 

How's you bike coming along?

[GSGabes]

Dudes,

 

Taper Wheel Bearings has been changed. Handling improved. Noisy rear drive solved. Damage: $72.40 for the bearings. $114.00 for Labour.

Saw the above ads. Guess the K1200GT is the same owner as the S, RT only 6000km? and ads posted by P*L salesman, so guess 3 more new GS1200 registering soon.

B4 I got Bertha, I was deciding btwn it and another 1150RT (mileage

The R1100RT is the older model whereas the R1150RT is the newer one. Different looks, same engine configurations. Some improvements in the electronics and a hell of a better looker. The K1200GT is more like a Japanese FJR, Sports Touring kind of a model.
