It's ok. Still not too late to say Hi. You should have asked Isaac if you see a bike with a Kruzer logo. He would have met all of them

Good luck!

I have no idea how you managed to top it to 16L but, I am pretty sure the Japanese couldn't be more wrong with their figure if this is true. I reckon you have run dry the tank to come by this statement? Another possibility, filling up to the brim but, it is unlikely to hit another liter. For Dragstar 400 regardless of custom or classic, both models have a 15L tank with 3.2 reserves according to the official website.

[maniahk]

hmm.. i doubt i ran dry on it.. rode smoothly into e petrol pump.. funny..

[newdragstar_rider]

hi,there was once i pump petrol,i actually pump it to 15.3litres,very surprised then,but i just ignored it since nothing's wrong with my bike.

[maniahk]

haha yea i rmbr u mentioned it once b4..

basically nuthin wrong w it la, but well.. it affects my calculation of mileage.. lol..

which i am slightly concerned abt.. =p

How about doing a few more runs? It would be beneficial with your mileage calculation. Keeping a logbook for recording of the gas mileage and fuel grade would be handy.

Just got back my Draggie from the workshop. All in all, I have changed the following:

 

1) Front wheel bearing

2) New battery

3) New rectifier

4) New magnet coil

 

of which cost $521 @ Rosli

 

5) Serviced, cleaned, changed oil seal for 2 forks = $90

6) Changed petrol pump = $100

7) Changed carburettor = $150

8) New spark plugs = $8

9) New oil filter = $18

+ EXCELLENT workmanship = $90

 

GRAND TOTAL of $977. Well, the carburettor was the main prob. The fuel pump was ok but I got a new, modified one. Everything is great again. Almost a $1K for servicing and repairs, yea you guys must be thinking I'm crazy.

 

I would have gotten myself a new 1000cc bike if my mech hadn't told me it's perfectly well again. All in all, I still haf my old carb which is useless and my old fuel pump, still in working condition. What amazes me, since my knowledge of big bikes is shallow, is that for my Dragstar, most things or rather everything is electronically controlled.

 

I shall see U guys some day. Probably, I won't be able to make it on the 23rd as I haf a wedding function to attend too..

[sgstarrider]

Cheers Bro Sovereign,

im glad your baby is back n running.

 

Its gud to noe a gud mech. that can b trusted. Even tho u had to spend quite a sum but its worth it.

 

Cheers to mechanic Rosli for a gud job.

 

BTW, go slow with your baby tho. she jus come out from a major operations.

Let her settle down, get use to her first. Dun wanna make her sick again LOL:thumb:

 

P.S if can, do drop by this 23rd meet-up. If cannot,

see'yer next meet-up next year.

[Guest Cheongster]

Hi guys. Could I check with you all...I want to get a short sissy bar for my dragstar 400 which I just bought. Would some kind soul point me to a good shop? Other than LAB or Regina....thanks a lot.

 

Cheongster

[maniahk]

looks neat.. wad year isit? u had ur handlebar raised? no offence but ur headlight looks kinda awkward i feel? haha.. n wads beneath e headlight anw?

[Guest Cheongster]

The previous owner raised the handle bar. Yeah...its a bit awkward for the headlight to be so high...it takes some getting used to. It is a chrome little box just below the headlight. Mine's a FP plate....1997. Btw...you know where to get those sissy bars? Thanks

 

Cheongster

[newdragstar_rider]

Sissy bar not really equal to back rack..... if u are toking about the one u saw on my bike that night..... the rack is just a back rack.... the sissy bar is the one that the pillion leans on.....

 

they are 2 separate items and usually they are sold separately.....

 

cheers

 

adriel

[newdragstar_rider]

oic, thanks for the clarification.

cos usually i saw the sissy bar on net,it always picture the back rest together with the rack,so i tot its the rack they are meaning.

yo,u going to kruzer meet up tonight?

do msg me whether u r going anot,thanks.

later will be going to rosli to fix up my side box,most prob will go after tat.

[adriel]

You could check out Chong Aik for the Honda Steed version if it would fit nicely otherwise, you could get one custom-made at Seng Kwang.
