Use this better without any screw to ur brake

 

Considered this type before. But wanted a 2 point mount type for more stiffness.

Bro, just checking, are you missing the centre arm piece?

 

And is this from RAM website? I would suggest getting from GPSCity website. I ordered mine for iPhone 5, without the lock, total approx SGD70. I can go check my receipt if you want exact price and details.

 

Hmmm the centre arm is the one with the lock. 2 in 1 model. Btw can help me screen shot ur receipt? So I can compare. Thanks bro !

Like this then looks more new mah! If seats had plastic wrapping, I'd leave them there too! Haha!

[duriandan]

I came across this>http://www.cleardefender.com/2012-sym-maxsym-400-full-clear-bra-kit.html.

 

Better options for better protection will be crash bars to those accident prone areas.

 

Very tempted, but wondering whether dirt would collect along the glued edges of the sticker. Right now I'm polishing with ArmorAll wax polish every week on the surfaces.

Handguards!

Cheap cheap

 

Using stock balancers or? I am using aftermarket more heavier type of balancers FROM Tai Hin.

There's no glue involved. If you wax it over, you just need to go one round the edges thats all.

Mine so far no dirt trapped from 3M, similar to raceshield but much cheaper.

Just changed my bar ends to heavy types too, vibrations during idle and at 5-6k rpm is so much reduced. The mirrors ain't shaking so much at the lights.

 

I changed out my stock grips to the 'BMW' grips. One thing to note, the throttle side has 4 protuding lines along the throttle bar, and the SYM throttle side grip as 4 grooves so they completment each other when you slide them into place to prevent 'sliding' when twisting the throttle, the after market grips does not have the grooves, so it ended up that the right throttle grip feels squarish while the other side is very cylindrical (ie Round). Wasn't comfortable initially but now I kinda grew to like it as it feels like holding to the handle of a tennis/ badminton racket. The square-ness is not very obvious.

 

Food for thought for those gonna change.

@lawr3nc3

 

After a few more kms on the Motul oil, The slightly stronger vibrations at higher RPMs have ceased. Now bike feels smooth like as if I am running on AGIP City Tec. lower Rpms are smoother and significantly more punchy. How about yours?

[tabung]

Where to get the BMW grip....

Maybe could have filed those grooves down. I didnt notice that wen i changed my grips and nv felt any squarish feeling. Haha

@tabung - Got mine at Tai Hin, $10 a pair inc installation.

 

@naim - Yeah the mech did mention he could file the lines off but I didn't want to la. You using the 'bmw' grips too? were there grooves as well?

 

I remembered Ah Boy selling these grips for $20. Maybe for 10 bucks more your get the correct fit.....??

Haha same. Mine also squarish. Somemore my "bmw" grips are shorter than stock. Its actually gpr brand. Bought $8 a set from LAB. Where u all get yours. Want to change to a better one. Original bmw grips I heard $20+? Can get from pml?

 

And yes still using stock bar ends. Big ones next on my list.

[naim]

i got my GPR version installed at taihin tgt wif my heavier bar ends. Didnt notice wen they install it though. Maybe its there la but i nv notice it.

 

Taihin the workmanship nt so gd. My bar end can turn turn one. Expectedly, 2 weeks later, one side drop out. So wat i did was buy another set from them but i install myself using suzuki OEM inserts and create a much better fit. Nw the bar end super secure.

 

The original bmw grips can get frm PML. Cash n carry i tink 20+.

I feel the stock ones are quite rough on the palms. My left hand gets raw between the thumb and forefinger on long rides.

So I wasn't imagining it. It does rotate.

[MERCENARY]

I have a brand new set of stock balancers for sale, if anyone is interested.

 

I am also currently using BMW grips for both my rides.

 

Renthal grips are good for track, when accelerating but vibration is higher naturally.

Mine also bought from Tai Hin, but the screws rusted. Most likely not stainless steel but mine is fitted tightly.

Motul is way overprice for me, personally tried other types of engine oils. The feeling is similar

Looks like buying the originals is the way to go. The gpr one not as cushy as the BMW ones. Very flat.
