Riding down Orchard Road Tuesday. The lever broke totally after I killed a signal. When need to signal again......cannot find that lever on that switch!

 

Its so stressful. I left the bike back at Raymond and go eat salted egg crab, frog leg porridge and stir fry potato leaves till 1.40am elsewhere.

 

I can't control the bike..........the wheels tend to go into slight road grooves and it takes me hell to pull that duckie out.

 

And it wont go into neutral when idling. I have to move it to neutral before I stop at the junction......

 

And my left palm was killing! Its bad enough that I have small hands and short fingers, now traffic lights are taking so much longer to change colour!

Sounds like you need new tyres, wheel bearings and a gearbox overhaul.

[dryice]

The gearbox bit is normal. U should b able to catch netural between 1 & 2, 2 & 3, 3 & 4 and 4 & 5. So convienent

 

Also check your tyre pressure, your tyres may be too soft.

 

softer grips may help

to my knowledge, a brand new rectifier from ducati for the pre 2000 monsters will set u back @ least 600-700 without installation. and those are single phase. some other brothers will have a better price reference for u.

 

u no bike also can join us for kopi. riding is optional ( just like for those who meet for the riding, the kopi is optional)

[dodobird]

respray inclusive of frame, swing arm and rear set?

 

pls bare in mind that to respray the above, there will be workmanship charge for stripping down the whole bike and re-assembly.

I suspect U tried to start many times, so now battery is flat.

 

Is there cranking sound or when u press the starter button, nothing at all?

Hmm, sounds alot like the problems I had in the first month of owning my monster...After changing the stock grips and getting used to the riding position my hands don't ache any longer. As for neutral problems, you'll have to change the clutch plates and all or just learn to blip the throttle and shift into neutral, ask easy2findme for tips haha.

lol...no need advise her la...she knows more **** abt monsters then most of us combined together.... theres a reason y this thread is known as her personal diary. lol

[dodobird]

best u give raymond a call and ask him. but u should be looking @ 1.5k as a reference. look back within the last 10 pages, i think i've listed down in quite detail my accumulated cos for doing wat u intend on doin. i my recommendation is to find out wat else needs to be done then do it 1 shot.

 

if you want a better idea wat your bike is trying to tell u, join us on sat@2030 and u will get a extremely better understandin.

[GuiNNeSS]

The tyres is suppose to be new. There is still whiskers on it.

 

But someone took a look and tells me those tyres are 38/07. And the bike been lying around most of those periods. So I guess they are harden anyway.

 

Wheel bearing and gearbox?????? You are kidding me right?

[GuiNNeSS]

Who say!

 

Me cannot control the bike. I was told somewhat, that duckie is more fierce then me, thats why I am sooo unsafe on the road with it.

 

That darn duckie bullies me all the way!

[zievanx]

Called up ducati,they didn't hv stock and can't quote me for a new piece.=(

But it's okay,had got it frm raymond's already.rectifier's really costly man.hah

thanks for all the hlp thou guys! cheers!
