Ya snail, since u mentioned it, I tot of doing it. Any recommendation?

 

Where else..Eugene Saddlery.

But u need to put ur seat over there for a few days mebbe more.

Will cost u ard $100++/near $200.

Tot of doin it but no spare seat la.

Snail, is it the same I'm using now? Dun really no whether dat one is motovation anot but I bought for $50 from HKL.

 

Motovation balancers are longer and more tapered.Their names are engraved on the balancers itself.

[sujak]

ic ic, then it'll definitely be the sprockets then. What's the original sprocket sizes? 17/42, does that refer to front 17 teeth, rear 42 teeth?

 

Thanks.

 

Edited to add:

Hey bro, I went back 2 pages to read, and came across this posting:

 

>>

as for sprocket, my fellow birdie said it shud not disturb the mileage so much.. he recommend me 44 for normal and touring use.. He said the previous owner must be a tourer since he changed it to 42..

 

If the current rear sprocket size is 42 and you increase it to 44, you'll make your fuel consumption even worse.

When increasing rear sprocket teeth, the torque (pickup) is increased but the cruising RPM will be higher.

 

To reduce consumption, have to reduce rear sprocket teeth, or increase front sprocket teeth. But changing the front sprocket teeth will also affect the speedo reading.

 

 

hmm.. so wat shud i do to my bike?

 

1) change back to the original sprocket size?

2) go for valve clearance?

3) sell and buy new bike.. hahahaa?

Well, I think it depends on what kind of riding you do daily.

 

For front sprocket:

- more teeth = lower cruising RPM, less pickup

- less teeth = higher cruising RPM, more pickup

 

For rear sprocket:

- more teeth = higher cruising RPM, more pickup

- less teeth = lower cruising RPM, less pickup

 

One tooth change on front sprocket approx. equals 3 tooth change on rear sprocket.

 

If you do a lot of stop & go riding in city traffic, going back to stock *may* help as you won't need to rev as much.

 

However, if you do a lot of expressway riding, your current setup is definitely better for fuel consumption.

Yupp, consperm mine is motovation, its written at the end.

[Wallaby]

I changed b4... feels relaxed.. not much stress on the back.

Worth the mod!!!!!

Hands numb? Are u using original balancer

.... need BMW grip + motovation balancer ... U will feel the difference...

 

Hey anodises, jus curious, how does the balancer actually affects the ride? I was actually using the motovation balancer with the stock handle bar but still felt the numbness.

Heavier balancers dampen the vibration but no total eliminate it.Wear gloves and try no to put too much pressure on the hands.

mebbe it got to do with the counterbalancer of our engine.There's 3 nuts where u can adjust.1 from each side of engine and 1 in front.But this one leceh la..too cheem!!!
