riddick>> ya its HUGE , I need to visit sengkwang to see if they can mod 1 xtra big crashbar for me... confirm the normal 1 cant fit..

 

or the other choice is riky cross, which the bars are located at the bottom of the fairing..

 

Will see how once i got the tank fixed up.

 

VVVV>> u shd see the whole thing on life... confirm u sure go WAAAAAAAHHHHHH

 

I got a shock too when i first saw the tua liap

Solid man - you are the worthy chairman! Noone can keep up, the ppl that have tried has failed and now have to sell...

 

Anyway, dude I am using the riky cross - don't remember which one you are using but maybe we can just do a change if you need to. Mine is a bit scratched though, but you can use the same color that you did for the tank to paint it up if you want.

 

Very impressed with your upgrading and dedication to your bike.

The project is done at IDEAL motor lah,

So when the shottie trip?

[riddick]

just made a discovery..

 

my fuel pump was out so i had to buy a new one, went to motoworld n they quote me 65 bux cos i asked for without installaton cos my bike at werk plc. den they gave me this fuel pump from mitsubishi only to dis cover tat d inlet/outlet was very small for d tubing. n it was for africa twin! damn! bad service, went thr back n said they only got orig. so wen open d pack which had honda serial nos, i found out tat it was mitsubishi brand!! so did i kena bluff or wad??? price was 120..

[Kenny]

was the first one for cars? at ard 60 to 70 bucks? it's meant to fit the AT i think..to fit the varadero, i think u have to modify the tubing..

 

the original fuel pump costs ard 100 plus...

[Varas]

even the original is from mitsubishi... funny... or mine was changed even before it hit the roads

 

VVVV>> got trip, this weekend during the holidays hahha to the land of smiles, thailand.

btw when u going to PG for testing of ur motard? I also wanna go leh ..

[chrislayer]

anyone GP tomorrow?

hi guys, i'm currently riding a cbr 400, i just had a feel of sitting on a vara today and boy, am i not used to it! it felt really heavy as i lifted it up from its side stand. anyone of you guys switched from a sports bike to a vara? i really like the vara but am concerned that i'll not be able to tame the monster though. advice? think i should make the switch? perhaps i'm too skinny to handle it? or will i eventually get used to it?

[Varas]

bruce>> no worries, I been riding RVF for more than 2 yrs before I switch over to varadero. Just that dun cut corners on vara as u would on a sport bike.

 

U said u r skinny , whats ur built like , weight and height?

 

U will get use to it , and would even like it. I got used to it and liked every moment on it. =)

[bagahera]

Bruce> I agree with varas, I used to ride a honda vtec before my vara - it feels a bit heavy when u are standing still, but it's very smooth and powerful on the road.

[Trex]

bruce> don't worry u'll get use to it...

 

varas> love to borrow ur tank for my next trip....cambodia,vietnam n laos...can save me a lot of time....yeeeahh

 

chrislayer> i'm going in by second link around 2100hrs...call me.

[Varas]

Hi fellow vara riders,

 

Does anyone knows if there is a site for downloading the owners manual and workshop service manual for vara 1k?

 

Thanks

 

Like to find out the following as well

 

1) Engine oil capacity

2) Oil filter part number

3) Coolant capacity + reservoir (quantity of coolant required for radiator flushing)

4) Spark plug model and part number

 

Thanks again
