there's no S1 being manufactured in 2008 wad... those are considered old stock that when S2 are out, they are unable to sell off their existing S1 stock...

 

maybe i would suggest if u wanna clarify this, go to HL for clarification... or u could googled urself bro...

 

so bro, u mean LTA will "bluff" us by printing date of manufacturing 2008?

[catzilla]

tec;5982927']my S1 is manufactured in 08. gt the bike 2mths ago from BP.

 

Vtec, how much did u buy your S1 2 months back from BP? Yours is the naked version or half-faired?

[pichudot]

tec;5983847']so bro' date=' u mean LTA will "bluff" us by printing date of manufacturing 2008?[/quote']

 

think abt it bro... how can S1 be manufactured in 2008 where S2 series is from 2007-2009? something fishy here right?

 

for LTA, they only do wad is being told... meaning, it the details could be supplied by the motordiam...

[Intruder]

alrite, noted about the valves. i checked my log book, last tyre change in oct 08 together with the valve. i dont go fast maybe that's why i got no issue

 

Good Morning all Fazerians.... Mid-week is here.... weekend coming... busy busy.

 

Haha. Ride safe to stay alive to ride another day. Hmm.. next tire change i going to plug in those angle valves liao... not using now to save some cost. But charging air can be a challenge to a handicap man like me.

 

 

Anyone using gear positioning meter? Which is of more affordable and reliable brand?

hahaha... okie...

i'm using acumen gear indicator too... $70 only exclu installation...

i did my installation at MW for $20-$30, with solder blah blah blah...

 

thai disco? where is it?

[piggyback1974]

for your information, doesnt mean you change already means can use forever. It is best to change the valve every alternate tyre change, even if you are using the better quality stuff.

 

good grief, letting go the bike you also removed the air valve..

 

i never had installed this thingy kind of valve on my 2 previous bike before as they are too too cumbersome. save me all the troubles from not choosing to install that. but there are people who don't mind the hassle of removing the thing once they decided to let go their bike:D

[XR400R]

Guys help me out please.......

 

Is there anyone using this top-box rack with an aftermarket exhaust system?

I have a FZ6 and pay for a LV slip on already but I don't know if the rack will fit the width of my aftermarket exhaust. My bike still at the shop for servicing and I cannot measure.

[Intruder]

Any idea how much and where to get the Acumen? Reliability & ease to install assessment?

bro, should be a problem... aftermarket exhaust system should be hitting the rack or even coming out from the exhaust sleeves...

 

i got a bro riding a fz6 with LV pipe + h&b top box... the famous orange bra man... hahaha!

A little history of our FZ6

 

2007

Upgraded model named “S2” features:

• Diamond shape aluminium swingarm

• Monobloc, 4-piston type front brake calipers

• Aluminium, bolt-on type passenger footrest brackets

• New instrument panel.with analog rpm counter

• New seat texture

 

The non-S2 model is a value-for-money option without these changes and with a 78 HP engine. (Non-S2 model still available despite introduction of S2)

 

The Fazer models with cowling, get a slightly redesigned cowling.

Following 2008, Non S2 model still available

it is okay if you are only doing local rides as most rides last maybe around 1hr. but when you are touring, things takes a different turn and the rims, tyre and air all get heated up.

 

These L-type air valve have seals or o-rings at the mating point between the valve and the rims, rubber all have self-life so you got to be careful as it get worst with time.
