Anyone knows where to re-wrap the seat back to like original condition?

 

I'm thinking Boon Siew (to get the original material) but was wondering if there was a good seat wrapper who had good materials that could do a comparable job.

I saw it at West Coast, black in colour. Don't know if he used any kit, I think should be stock, I just went to try his clutch because mine seemed tight (but I think is normal after trying a few).

oh ok..i guess he's using stock..last time,wen im using stock,the same feeling i had like urs..after i changed it, totally different..lighter,esp, wen u stuck in a jam @ chkpt..response, slightly better..

Thanks! Called Boon Siew and they do not have seat wrapping service, I can't even buy the original material to re-wrap.

 

BTW, does anyone know where I can buy distilled water for the radiator? I tried all the petrol stations but not one of them has it.

Supermarket one can ah? A bit scared, because if not totally clean will corrode the inside. But guess no choice lah, today went to all petrol stations in my area and scouted for 45mins, not one shop selling.

 

Guess have to pop over to Watsons to get a few bottles, enough to last me to the shop so I can wash everything out.

For Radiator, isn't it supposed to use "coolant"....??

Use distilled drinking water also can meh.... I dont think it can make ur radiator last long...

[HokAgE]

If waterwetter is used than can just used normal water,no need distilled water..

[MiddleAgedBiker]

The correct way to top up the radiator is actually a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water.

 

The coolant contains anti-freeze for colder countries, and also rust inhibitors. The distilled water is what does most of the cooling, not the "coolant."

 

Some coolants come prefilled with distilled water (like the Honda premixed coolant), but most are not. You have to mix it yourself.

 

Using tap water in the radiator will cause corrosion in the cooling system because of the minerals in the water, don't do it, and don't let your mechanic do it.

Trust me on this. I took a correspondence diploma course in motorcycle mechanics and used to fix my own bikes, so my theory is still can do. Although practical may not be so good....

 

You can also check with knowledgeable mechanics. If they're doing it the right way (i.e. not using tap water) they'll also tell you this. Of course if they're using tap water mixed with coolant to do your coolant top ups, they'll say I'm talking c***.

to prevent corrosion, scaling and all the other messy stuffs from destroying your radiator, it will be best if you can use distilled water instead of tap water.

To all SBF forum users,

 

As quite a number of people are asking me about my Pazzo Racing Levers and really interested in getting themselves a pair, therefore I'm intending to do a mass order for it.

 

Details:

Pazzo racing levers are functional with 6 way adjustment and offer incredible personalization of your bike. Clutch and Brake Levers which are CNC Machined of 6061-T6 billet aluminum, to precise tolerances. Both, clutch and brake levers are fully adjustable Stainless Steel fasteners and Cadmium plated custom made springs. They come in a variety of anodized colors and in Regular or Short length.

 

The price for 1 pair of levers will be approximately SGD $260 subject to exchange rates and shipping. I would try my best to get the lowest possible price depending also on the number of ppl getting it. Pls feel free to PM me for more info.

 

Pics of the Levers:

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good workshop to change tyres? Heard HKL is the cheapest, but 2 riders I know had their rims scratched and balancing not done properly, so looking for other alternatives. Suggestions?

 

Prefer Metzelers or Bridgestones, thanks.

[MiddleAgedBiker]

Tried to check coolant level through the reservoir tank, shone a torch at it but cannot see the coolant level. I've thorougly cleaned out the exterior of the tank still cannot see.

 

Does anyone have any tips to check coolant level on the bird? Thanks!

[anodise57]
