But where you find the round signals? Unless we make brackets for our signals.

Yo Vince and GalateD, when you guys wanna meet up? Wanna get some tips from you guys on how to clean up my bike. Looks kinda 'shabby'. I just tried lubing my chain, quite difficult leh, only managed to lube the outside surface of the chain. Should be the inside eh?

Red? Can always spray ma, I'm going to spray red for mine. Not soon, need to build up some $$$ first.

 

You can try, Yahoo Auctions, Yahoo Classifieds, SBF Garage Sales and SBF Classifieds.

 

Aint too sure of a new one, you looking for M400? Or other Monsters? I heard is around 15k? Please don't quote me on this, only based on my limited memory.

Short of removing the chain, the best way is to invest in a paddock stand, and then lube your chain with the rear wheel off the ground.

Errrm. I usually wash it at a friend's place in Siglap with water jet and Degreaser.

[Duke_Monster]

actualli usually when i lube my chain i kinda "lift"the rear wheel up..then turn maybe 1/3 round then lube...then repeat this process 3 or 4 times..u should be able to lube yr entire chain thoroughly in 5 mins or so.

 

the technique is to stand on the left side of yr bike...bend down to grab hold of the rear passenger foot peg bar(right side) then just lift/pull yr rear wheel up...(bike would be leaning to the left,supported by yr body and most importantly the sidestand...then u use yr free hand to spin the wheel a little...*use left hand to hold lift bike,right hand to spin wheel.

i'm sure lots of people use this technique to lube their chain...u can also push yr bike forward,lube,forward,lube...either way works well !

well what I do is lube part of it, then push it a short distance then lube again. But for the monste, the exhaust and the whole placement of the chain actually blocks the access to the 'inside' of the chain. I was told to lube the 'inside' rather than the 'outside'. Will it get properly lube this way also?

Not sure if this could work, anyone tried using a car jack before? Jack it up then lubricate. Used a Jack to change the Suspension of a friend's Gixxer before but not should if it's a good idea to jack a M400 or rather at which point should i place the jack at?

[Guest nE0]

Jack at the exhaust header, or rear swingarm.

 

Use a puck or block of wood under the sidestand so the bike is more upright first, then jack the right side.

guys,

 

any1 know how much & where can i fix da speedo hub metal teeth & rear brake kit?

 

if hv to change da whole thing oso can hor....

[Guest nE0]

You mean the speedo pickup? I don't think it costs much, but have to drop the front wheel to fix it.

 

As for the rear brake kit, I think the pump is not cheap. Whats wrong with yours?
