my scottoiler reservoir can last 28 days which sum up to 1000km.but must remember to check around 24 days later after top up.there was once i forgot to replenishe the reservoir until it run almost left little bit of oil in the tubing near the swing arm.you can see it. got air lock in the tubing then the oil will not flow at all. Bloody hell have to do the 'blow job' myself to purge the air lock until the oil start to flow out from the tip.Face turned red. 'BJ' is not a guy forte, right?

thinking of upsizing the reservoir with expansion pack.....but don't know where to hide the tank. Scottoiler suggest to install inbetween the mudguard and license plate. but too afraid it will attract some 'ALI BABAs'.

But why your face turn red?

 

Too shy to do a blow job?

Guys, I'm selling off my MRA vario touring windshield for FZ6 S2 and here are the details:

 

(Important note: This item is not for fussy people)

 

 

• Bought from Motoworld in March 2009 @SGD180
  
• Right side of the top movable part a little loose, caused by bike drop
  
• Right side of the top piece has a deep scratch, caused by bike drop
  
• Even though right side is a bit loose as mentioned above, I'm still able to ride it at 200km/h during my last trip on NSHW, so still steady going!
  
• Reason for selling: fell in love with another windshield!
  

 

Selling at SGD60, I've attached some pictures below, interested parties can PM me, thanks!

incorrect pressure is the major cause of uneven wear on tyre..well we are suppose to check the tyre for correct pressure before and after each ride but seriously who does it? I think a weekly check is sufficient but if your tyre has been on your bike for at least a year and you have been using your bike regularly locally, it almost time to change

[piggyback1974]

It's much similar to blowing up 10 big ballons in one shots. running out of air. Not shy lah.... air lock is very hard to clear. that's why must exert air pressure into the tubing.

hehehehe... i can imagine u doing that...

but, vSystem have this disadvantage... need to do manual blow job...

eSystem do its own blow job, which it call it "priming"...

try to check on your tire balancing as well as fork alignment after madness's comments?

hmmm... in that case, u need a S&T tire pressure monitoring system!

[jairz]

38 front 42 rear

 

in esso petrol station, their meter goes in hundred. so is it abt 230 front and 250 rear?

[pichudot]

bonz is saying in PSI... while you are referring to kpa...

[jairz]

oh.. okok. hehehe.. bery poor in SI Units.. Whahahah. =P

[pichudot]

hehehe...

[recko]

ups for your sales bro!

Thank you.

I do check my tyre pressure weekly. The funny thing is tat i noticed tat my front tyre wears off more on the right side.

How cud tat be possible?

[fz6blackie]

You can play around with the units button if there's one, or some pump have 2 comparison chart printed on the machine itself for users to refer to.

the same thing happened to me when i continued riding for a long time with one side of my front suspension busted.

 

maybe u can check urs out?

i think its more like 250 n 290? someone correct me if I'm wrong

How cud tat be possible?

wheel not balance, forks not set properly, tire compound no longer good, over/under pressure (due to heat expansion)

 

many reasons... I find using nitrogen helps on the heat expansion problem esp wen touring. Others are harder to solve. If ur using normal air make sure ur tires are cold. If they're hot, pump a bit more but cold is still best.

 

You can play around with the units button if there's one, or some pump have 2 comparison chart printed on the machine itself for users to refer to.

 

i still advise getting your own gauge, cheap one gd enuff, some of those pumps have been so abused the meter is off by a bit.

My first set of 2CTs wore badly on the right side that it became unusable even though the left side still had good treads, and the rears were still good.

 

It's not about tyre pressure in this case. Like you I check the pressure every week.

 

Our FZ1 has compression damping on one side and rebound on the other, so I thought that perhaps that might be the issue..... that perhaps I didn't set the damping properly.... I played around with the damping, but yielded no results or improvement.

 

When I changed to my 2nd set of tyres, Bridgestone BT-016, I thought it might be a 2CT problem, but I noticed that the tyres were starting to wear more on the right again.

 

The problem turned out to be uneven fork oil levels from the factory.

Go change your fork oil to a heavier weight one and have the mechanic balance it out.

 

Racewerks was the one who alerted me to the fact that the fork oil levels might be the problem. Go approach Norman at Racewerks and tell him you're getting the same right side uneven tyre wear at the front, he'll change the fork oil for you and balance it out.

 

 

Mine doesn't wear excessively on the right anymore. So far so good.

Plus... the heavier weight fork oil will give you better damping, and a less bouncy front end.

[E.M.F]

Yup same here, the rear tyre is perfectly fine n only the front tyre is having tis uneven wear prob. Damm i need to get the fork serviced together with a new set of tyres to see the difference. Have to wait another couple of months to get the 19RCS.

Thanks Dues...

Fork oil change not so expensive.

No need to change the seals if they're still good.

I reused mine. Still in pristine condition.

 

It's the tyres that hurt. $400+ for a new pair of 2CTs or BT-016.

See if you can get a Diablo Strada. My friend just got a set for under $400. (So he told me. Where, I didn't ask)

 

 

Who would've thought that the fork oil would be screwed up by the factory? But hey... it happened.

I'm guessing the seals on mine shud be fine too coz there's no visible leaks tat i can see. Wow a set of Diablo Strada for under $400 is very very cheap. But i'm thinking of trying Dunlops tis time round. Surprisingly i heard some good reviews on Dunlop Q something if i'm not wrong lah.

 

Any other FZ108 bro experiencing the same factory screw up?
