The overheating of engine is not normal - have you been riding in heavy traffic or it happens even on the highway?

Iggy loves LEATHER.

"Be a Man, Do the Right Thing!!" -keke..

I have never heard of E21s.. nor E45s.. guess i am more a leather guy. Ripped off my Givi box that the previous owner gave me the very day I gotten my ride. And now that GIVI box is in my room as a storage box for my tools.

How much room is there in a E21? Well if they are jus there for raincoats, I suggest u get a luggage rack and strap them there. Saves money too.

remember my 1st black beauty....those r E45s.....they're still hanging ard in my study......

I dont know tet tet tet - what that means but the dent on the right side of the fork is to accomodate the key if that's what you looking at.

Cheers

" tet tet tet " sound will be a norm for the V twin engine. Most Drags have that on them.. mainly the older versions between cavemen days till 2000 models. Thats what most mechanics have told me. So check which year model make is his. Most of all, u must like what u are buying. Know what else u wan to do on the bike, pros n cons n where n who u want to bring ur bike out riding with.

 

Remember Sir Romeo.. if u do get it.. have to let us all know ya.. so that we can call u out for kopi and ride trips.

 

Cheers

One thing I can assure you is that there is a big difference between the ride of a phantom and a Dragstar and the customisation possibilities are great too. You should try to meet up with a few DS owners to see & hear the customized bikes.

Good luck for your research.

Cheers

how much does it costs for dragstar 1100 classic?

Hey Romeo,

Tried to reply ur PM but had some errors so i am replying here.

 

Actually u need to listen out to the engine upon starting the bike and letting it idle on for awhile. I did help a few Bros check on bike engine condition but as long as its smooth sounding, it should be okie. Where do u live anyway??

 

As for bike shop, I jus use a simple down to earth guy called Jimmy across Sim Lim Tower. A small shop that does all other bikes. I recommend most bros to get their bikes done there. Very nice guy n price also very reasonable.

 

Feel free to call and text me @ 97477660 if u need to find out more stuffs.

 

Cheers.
