wow dude....like flashy sia....hahahaha nice not bad.....hey btw anyone here knows how to change the lights in our speedo meters?

well, 1st u have to take out the 2 plastic plugs to remove the panel(below the speedo), den u will see 2 size 10 bolts, remove them as well. lastly pull the whole meter out, require some force but no worry, wont spoilt anything one. den @ the back of the meter, think u will see 5 black sockets (socket for the meter blub). juz turn anti-clockwise and it will come out

Visual > So you found out what time Ntrust open? Never go there b4, thinking of See See Look Look and buy many many pheonix M5 litebulb keep. Hehehe

 

 

i recently had problem dropping gear and gear up... thought my engine was messed up...

till a nice tip form AIKON, chck youtr clutch cable.. if its too loose.. (as in when u clutch in.. its not all the way in... it coudl have a huge impact on your gear change..

for me.. i just adjusted the nut on the clutch handle.. i think i made it...tighter..and then.. it now works so well..actually after i change my clutch cable... now.. its so much smoother...

 

NTRUST.. i was told (open after lunch)

… on the same note, just sharing a research done.

 

crack engine block : its an indication, when something malfunctions within the cooling system. basically, they’re designed to dissipate the thermal energy generated by several thermodynamic processes that occur inside the engine compartment. in other words, the cooling system keeps your engine from burning itself up. it does this by keeping liquid coolant circulating through the engine block and through the air-cooled radiator that disperses heat to the surrounding environment.

 

interestingly,most people (including me) knows that a spark plug delivers a spark to ignite the air/fuel mix in the cylinder. but that is only half of what it does. it too, removes heat from the combustion chamber and does this by absorbing heat from the combustion chamber into the body of the spark plug, and passing this heat through its (threaded) sides to the engine block. … if the tip of the spark plug is too hot it can cause pre-ignition leading to detonation / knocking and damage (to piston head ) may occur. so be extra careful with the backfiring sound,please.

 

 

 

those experimenting side gapping. wonders how does the spark plug ‘ look’ like so far. some useful help...

Something to share, remember i change my fork oil seal... a day after i did that the left one was (leaking). Leaking out the Fork oil..(everytime i ride.. it will leak) when i park.. it will drip on to the floor. On one occasion, as i was going off (rear tyre ran over the oil) almost 'Buang-ed' there and then...

 

Anyways, today i went back to the shop, luckly they were nice enough to replace the seal again 9with new seals, and top up oil (free) .. they did say (vara125) seals is not standard (but i doubt it) cos my right fork is perfectly OK...

 

ANyways.. for now.. both fork are leak free...

 

Just to share for those who plan to change fork seal. (do ride around for about 1/2 - 1 hr and test your seals) before going home.
