for the seals and oil?

[donutBoy]

Guan Hoe quoted me $75 per fork leg sometime back.

Incl. seals and oil

 

Can try out bikelab too. They seem to have a pretty good reputation among the forumers here.

[R3sistor]

Yeap. Bikelab seems to be a good place to do yr forks and shocks.

1) look at the back of the head light assembly, there should be a rubber cover that has a tab for you to pull to remove it.

2) remove the rubber cover n the back of the headlight bulb is exposed.

3) at the side of the bulb there is a catch, unhook the catch n the bulb will be free to be removed.

4) Take the new bulb out(do not touch the glass areas of the bulb with your hands) n place the bulb in, fix back the catch n rubber cover n you're done

[donutBoy]

ahh..excellent!

many thanks

 

I go and swap my bulbs now

 

Cheers!

[speedtriple]

may i know what is done when doing a carb tune?

[donutBoy]

stock CR8EK has got two 'heads' only

 

anyway, found a link to the Parts Manual for the GK76A last nite

 

GK76A Parts Manual

 

It ain't the owner's manual but it's pretty helpful to see how yer parts are assembled should you need to do DIY.

 

Note: its a 16MB file and the connection is darn slow. Best to right click and 'save-as'

 

Cheers!

Pump to caliper

Should be size 12 spanner. U may wana drain out all the brake fluid 1st. Just loosen the hose at both ends and you should see how it's taken out. May need to take out ur hugger also.

can the GSX's shocks be upgraded? have not heard anything on this so far. if yes, can it only use GSX specific shocks or some that are used for other bikes?
