change engine gasket is $120, timing chain forgot to ask....

 

btw, CBR fire_Blade you have a seat crowl right? how much you bought it and where to get it?

 

my bike fitted with a carbon fibre hugger, but the color not nice already due to aging, may be i will respray it later...

 

wow for the gasket oredi $120 ah? isit the head gasket?

 

btw i remember my mech open up my head cover to check the timing chain... never open the engine head also. he said just by taking up the head cover can change the chain oredi. better check with ur local mech, cos dat time my mech open right in front of me to show...

yes, it is the head cover gasket...

once it open up you can change the chain, need not to open up the whole engine...

will ask my mech to check the chain, if too loose then change it.

now no more tak tak sound when cold start ler, dunno why also....

eh sorry u just need to change the head cover gasket... not the engine head gasket. but do u think the head cover gasket got so expensive ar? i think can get it much cheaper lor...

btw after u open the head cover, the sound will go off for a few months before coming back... happened to me also, last 2 months when open to see after that no more sound. now the sound is back... same as wat happen to u now

[Sev]

hmm, i not sure why changing gasket so expensive ler... may be i check with few more shops first...

this morning i didnt warm up my bike then go off, the bike die at about 20m riding distance, have to wait for awhile, start the bike again, warm up about 3 mins, then the bike running ok, no more die off...

anyone of you have this problem?

u can go eversuccess check out the gasket price. they are dealer for honda parts, always give me discount whenever i order from them.

 

yeah if u never warm up this thing will happen. the oil still havent lube the engine properly and the carbs still havent warm up. not healthy for the engine.. gotta warm up at least 5 mins before moving off...

Mind is different cos i do ask the boss to mod the whole single seater n still mainten the tray compartment.

[GRassCuTTeR]

but if single seater whole piece, it wont look so nice with the keyhole and seat cover there lor... i thought wanna cut a hole and add in the keyhole, but after survey and ask my mech, he also say sure not nice...

 

btw u wanna design the tailpiece follow the 96 model or 98 model?

bracket should not be a problem, my mech can do it...

 

if u want cheap and good LED brake lights, go get the yamaha SS110 third brake lights. cost i think RM40 +/- per pc. its LED, very bright. i got it together with my tailpiece cos the previous owner fix. its thin, like the R1 03 brake light- looks sleek

should be able to fit, i've seen the seat cowl when he came to malacca few months back. very practical cos u get a single seat as well as not sacrificing the underseat storage. :thumb:

yups they sell parts only. its located at 17 Lembu Rd. At jalan Besar somewhere there. the contact is 62925909, ask for Miss Tan. can tell her the malacca biker using CBR900 ask u get parts there, she'll give some preference cos i very familiar with here already.

 

u can buy the gasket + timing chain from ever success then ask Ah Chong to fix for u... u just pay the labour charges can liau. anyway i also been to planet few times, quite a nice guy n hi prices also not bad.

thanks for the info, but ah choong will charge pretty high labour when you not buying parts from him... he doesnt like people bring oil or parts to his shop and ask him fix one ler...

 

i only do my servicing and repairing there, change chain or tyre those easy job i will go HKL or LAB for cheap stuff....

 

one more thing, i check the cbr900 service manual, there a timing chain tensioner thingy at the engine there, can we use it to tighten the chain?
