'Im pretty sure we coudl be able to figure out how to fix it ourself, seems like a waste of time.. and $$$ to go to the workshop....' & ' but well i suppose the proper tools is the real issue.. so ok lah.. go to shop lah.... as long as the cost is not more then $9.95'

u refering to clutch cable?

'i just had a dream that while riding. suddenly my clutch cable.. BROKE!!.. scary...

http://www.spiderskills.com/skyman/varadero/images/manual/maintain_table1.gif

 

no mention when clutch cable should be change.. but ehh.. [indy]

it shows that we need only change engine oil every 10,000km..

 

bty.. [indy] i did spot you doing your 'stunt' when we were on our way home.. *hehe*

do that again.. next time when i got my camera..

i mean the clutch lining or watever we call tt....

when im on 1st gear and open throttle, it will pick up very slowly for awhile den it suddenly jerk forward and pick the speed...

juz wondering izzit the clutch have wore out.

anyway, any idea wat the life span of the clutch. i believe vara84 didnt change tt b4..

Heh heh...One day i'll take you to my special place and show you my 'stunts'

 

On the note of clutch cables...i feel like changing mine too. Too much of free play on my clutch and i cant tighten it anymore with the nut on the lever. Dont feel too comfortable with it. If i'm gonna do any long trips then might as well change it. Pingster when do wanna change it or do you intend to change it?

[visual]

pingster... as mentioned by others.. have u tried adjusting the clutch nuts and bolts...?

 

i too had a similar experience when some 'monkeys' messed with my clutch tightning nut..so when i clutch in, it feels very lose.. and half clutch is at the position of almost full release of the clutch.. so just tighthing the clutch bolt solved the problem for me...

the 1K vstrom.. yeah .. looks better... has has a fierce undercowl..

but 1000cc.. abit too much and overkill..right for sg... riding...

why do we need so many ccs?

i believe.. 250cc is more then enough.....

lke the hornet250...

 

but for abit more power i guess 650cc is really enough...lah...

anyways the more the cc the more the petroll and the more they road tax..

 

so actually we all ....altho small CC.. but save more money

 

 

ALSO.. Simon.. was mentiong about Varadero 200cc?

coming out soon? or somehting...

wonder if the rumours is true....

how interesting...

Varadero 200cc....i came across on the net some time ago while searching for my beloved vara...saw this website, japanese website.....i double conferm with boon siew....edward, the BS man, told me that the varadero 200cc will be out in Japan by feb 2005...most likely will hit our shore 6 months later...dats wat he told me...i dun know whether it is true or not...been searching for the website though...

[visual]

if u happen to find the link to the vara200, do post the link..

really curious... to see how it looks like...wonder thats the top speed.. (i bet it might be 140!)

??????? BUENO ????????

 

!!!!!!!! unico, difficilmente !!!!!!!!!!

 

VARADERO, para los ricos.
