Hi Fazerians, normally how long do u guys adjust the drive chain slack?

[mighty_mouse]

Tried to silicon it before, and really fill it up with silicon

have to dismantle that plastic

but after a while the vibration comes back.. -.- think i never silicon enough

 

Let me know if you want to do it again...

 

i used another method for like few mths already.. only used rubber sponge.. before that i got slight vibrations only.. after that no vibrations at all.. hehehe..

 

Can share wif what kind of rubber sponge did u use and where did u apply it???

Do I have to dismantle the head fairing ??

 

Thanks !!!

[mighty_mouse]

Checked nuts and bolts. Steering also. Still the same handlebar wooble.

 

perhaps you would like to check on ur tires? it's been on the road since feb 2011 right? a freaking 1 yr 3 mths hardened stock tires without balancing right? lol..

[pichudot]

Hi Fazerians, normally how long do u guys adjust the drive chain slack?

 

usually only check when i change tires or at every 10k servicing.. so far, no slack since day 1.. i been riding for almost for 2 years already..

any kind of rubber sponge strips you can get from most DIY shops.. apply at the back of that plastic where it will be in contact with the meter or dashboard.. no need to dismantle ur whole head fairing, jus need to dismantle ur windshield will do, then pull that plastic out..

[konspire]

typically, how long until we need to change the tyres in recommended situation. i understand the first factor is worn out tyres but then again, they should also hv a shelf life of months or years where you should change it even if it's not worn out right? so what's the recommended period? before it gets ineffective...

[danielling1981]

Just sharing.

sometimes it really depends on situation.. environment plays a part too.. shelf life is different from those which is current used on bike.. shelf life is much longer than the latter.. i been using my PR3 for ard 7 mths, it's still feels good.. if i din rem wrongly, i replaced my stock tires in like 4-5 mths after i first rode out from bike shop.. perhaps i would say tires especially stock ones, would more recommended to get it replaced between 6 mths to 12 mths depends on situation..

 

nevertheless, till now, we're still unsure on what is the actual problem that MonoWorld is facing..

then lets say for other tyres than stock (cos we don't know when they are installed on the bike n how long it has been waiting like that), in a scenario that you use but didn't put a lot of mileage onto it, what will be the agak-agakration of changing it? 1 yr, 2 yrs? because if due to less usage, u won't be able to wear it off faster so it means that we have to go by period, just like the EO. wat u think?

Who is yr agent? U so gd support yr agent...

 

Thks for repeating yr story..i've only recently started to follow this thread so i'm still unaware of it... So u bought yr 5-yr-old bike at $14k plus accessories. That's a gd price right somemore mileage so low. Must be in mint condition. Btw what are those accessories that come with it? Let's say 2-yr-old bike at $19k is it reasonable?

[pichudot]

Thanks for the advise bro. I guess this is a good reason for me to change to PR3

there's only two places i would go for tires.. for me la.. hahaha.. i'll usually look at unique if they got promo or not.. higher chance i'll go to them cus i get to pay 0% interest installment.. i like this this way cus i dun need to pay one lump sum, it suddenly makes my pocket hole bigger and i can save the monie up for other blings or any contingency plans.. hahaha! other than that, i'll go to bikeworkz..

good point.. but once a rubber had been in used, due to expand & contract & wear & tear, the usual lifespan would be around 1 year to 1.5 years.. or until it starts to harden (can be felt) or expired (can be calculated from the manufactured date) etc..

My agent is not a fren. Can't remember how i got to noe this agent either. LOL. But got it since my 2a bike and ve been buying from them for the last 7 years. Friendly, flexible, helpful. Even give me personal hp number to call in case not around. Coz in the past they smaller so only 1 person to call. Now got a team so no need call hp anymore.

 

The company is "one stop insurance". I renew no need step out of house. Just need to call up my agent, reconfirm some info. Policy documents also mail to me. Although i think these r common market practices now but i prefer to establish relationships. =D

 

Actually my story is just a few pages back. lol. Just got fz1 for a mth+ only.

 

My accessories includes the following

- Akrapovic full system 2.6k

- Velocity Stack 400 ~ 600+?

- Zero gravity windshield 200+?

- PC3? 300+?

- Handlebar and Riser ?

- Sargent seat 300+?

- Scottoiler V System 100+?

- Gear Indicator ?

- HID 100+?

 

Ya condition is very nice. Now itchy wish to take out exhaust silencer but i noe is not legal. lol.

 

Currently 1st hand i think has drop to 21k++ for not ABS machine. naked minus 1k i think. Ur option 2 year reduce 2k... Maybe c accessories?

lazy to explain.. ask mr. google.. hahaha..

The most important aging characteristic of car tires is the hardening of the

outside surface caused by oxidation of the polymers under influence of sunlight.

As result of the hardening of the outer surface, the tire loses its dynamic flexibility and the wear behaviour of the tire changes. This leads to a safety hazard.

Misunderstanding #2: Not knowing the purpose of a balance

Are you getting a vibration that comes and goes depending on the speed of the vehicle? If so, that is probably a balance problem. Possibly a bad tire or a loose part of some sort, but if it comes and goes, it is best to start with a balance. Maybe you parked near a curb and accidentally scrubbed off a wheel weight without knowing it. Or, maybe not.

There are many people who walk in and automatically ask for a "rotate and balance" when they do not have a balance problem. I'm not sure if it's just a term they are used to hearing, but if your tires are not out of balance, why do you want to pay someone to balance them? If you are not getting a vibration, you're just paying a tech for some exercise and getting nothing out of it yourself. You just needed a rotation.

Re-balancing a tire that is already mounted involves taking it off the car, plucking off the wheel weight (that was perfectly good and functioning as it should), putting the tire on a machine, the machine telling the tech to put another wheel weight back on, the tech putting a wheel weight back on in the same spot they just plucked one off of, and putting the wheel back on your car. There. That'll be $40 (or whatever) please. You have new wheel weights that you didn't need, and balanced tires, which were already balanced, we just did the same thing and accomplished nothing but threw away perfectly good wheel weights and wasted your time and money.
