Nope dun think they will bring in that... unless more pieces or certain quantity... but price unknown... knowing that they will wait till a lot of order then they will placed order with Bagster.... just imagine that time install the tank bra have to wait for 2 months plus...

hi boyz..

 

thanx for your replies regarding my situation and all..

 

anyways.. i've decided to keep the bike and even got me a new windscreen and box.. got a givi box cuz i felt the hepco ones a little out of my league financially as most of my moolah goes to my guitar stuff..

 

i'd like to wish all the muslims here a selamat hari raya!!!

 

just wanna ask somemore stuff..

 

since i got my bike there's this horrible sound from the real wheel.. kinda like a erm.. how to make sound here? anyways.. this sound comes on and off depending on the speed but mainly i hear it in a quiet place at low spees.. it's bad to the point that i can feel the vibrations on my rear when the sound comes.. when i step on the brake the sound is not there and after i let go it comes back after a while.. seems to be worse when the roads are wet or it is raining and when riding first thing in the morning..

 

i brought the bike back to mah twice before 1000km service.. first time they said it was the brake then adjusted it.. i went off.. sound still there.. went back at 1000km service.. told them to look again and left the bike there for 2 days.. the mechanic said he took out the wheel and greased the bearings and that he road in a quiet place and didn't hear anything.. the bike now at more than 2000km and the sound started again these few days when it rained.. even when i went to get the box the guy who installed it pushed the bike out and told me for sound.. said that i better bring it back before the warranty runs out.. mah says that the bike still running in so sure got sound and that by 3000km it'll be ok.. i dunno man..

 

anyone ever heard of this or got any advice?

 

thanx u guys..

 

peace

I once got this 'tak.. tak ' sound when ever I pushed my bike, forward or backward. Can be very loud if in a quiet place.

 

Couldn't find the source.

Chain tension OK, wheel alignment OK.

Thought might be the valve or cylinder head.

Jack-up the rear wheel and spinned it, no 'tak, tak' sound.

 

Went to Boon Siew to check on the bike.

Checked the wheel alignment, chain and sprockets again all OK.

Then the mechanic asked me what I used to lubricate the chain.

At that time I was using engine oil.

 

He said try spraying with a proper chain lube.

So bought Castrol chain spay thats available there and until now no more sound!!

[Spikey]

hi guys

considering getting a vara 125 after i pass my 2B. anyone know what is the OTR price for one?

[ABATTORY]

Hi Spikey ..... it's all depend on your age .... coz the younger you are the more expensive the bike insurance is ... and also u r a new rider .... if im not mistaken it can cost you abt 11 to 12k on the road

[butcher]

Iswady----> This is your damage for under cowl

 

$165(undercowl) +delivery ($46) + Singapore customs Tax ($50) = $261

 

 

Husaini -----> Your fee is

 

$134(your parts) + Delivery ($46) + Singapore Customs Tax ($50) = $230

 

And Guyz This is the confirmed price...

 

 

And no worry, 10% service Charge will be waived... But tips is greatly appreciated hehe

 

 

And to all brothers, please Take note that if anyone who wish to order from david silver spares, there will be a custom tax of $200 if the goods is heavy or bulky.... so perhaps collective ordering is the best way to do it....

 

 

spikey---> i paid 13k otr...... But it's worth every single buckeroos....

Trip Report

 

Tg. Piai.

 

mission accomplished.

 

The recce ride was a breeze. fine sunny weather. no traffic jam,to and fro on both side of the checkpoint.

 

it’s a one and half hours ride and 110km away from GP Esso. traffic was smooth along the trunk road but with many heavy vehicles plying. getting to Tg. Piai wasn’t difficult, just look out for that signboard.but still, extra care when reaching the 15km mark before Kukup. a left turn T-junction will point towards the main destination. from there on its about 21km further (plus a few more turns ) into a place known as Serakat. it’s like getting back in time when passing thru’ this remote villages. but all that nostalgia suddenly vanished with the sight of an observation tower, some 500m before the road ends.

 

mangrove trees. that’s what’ll greet visitors first at the car park. striking similarity with our’s sungei buloh back home but definitely, can’t beat Tg.Piai’s open sea view once you’re further into the nature park.didn’t venture far, out of ‘security’ concern of the bike.(it’s the only non local ones around) can’t imagine getting home by bus.

 

perhaps, this was the best part . met a friendly staff and was given permission to go ‘off- road’ on a de-commissioned, 1.8km stretch of tram track which lies just metres away from the sea bank. a superb sea view, with what looks like floating chalets and passing ships, far in the back drop.

floating chalets in the background

a kelong or chalet? not too sure.

 

 

a distance away on the track, the sight of ‘it’ gotten me a mix feeling. a big ‘gulp’ in the throat and “here goes” utters the mouth. its them home resident -cum -welcoming party, the “scavenging macaque monkeys”, young and old. some playing but most looking at me,the guest. again with mouth muttering a few holy verses and fingers yanking the air horn, managed to ride pass them colony without incident.

 

towards the track’s end, stood a sculpture-like land mark. its probably 8 ~10metre tall with the inscription “THE SOUTHERNMOST TIP OF MAINLAND ASIA” on it. nearby is the visitor’s main center for eco-enthusiast. surchage payable before entry. its RM5 for citizen, RM10 for non. gave that a miss .
