Hiz!

 

What type of bag did u place on your pillion seat?

Is it those normal haversack and then use a bungee cord to tie it up or other types of bags?

Thanks!

just a normal tank bag.

You just need to strap it down securely.

..ex owner told me he did taper clearance b4.but bike haven reach 40000km...

Valve clearance inspection needs to be done every 24,000km. If the clearance is out of factory specs, adjustments need to be done using small metal pieces, otherwise known as shims. If your mechanic does not have the specs for the clearance for the 10R, forget it as he will just be hitting in the dark. It is different for different bikes. I doubt most mechanics will have it for the 10R except the agent, Evershine.

 

You can also buy a workshop manual which will contain all the neccessary specs and adjustment instructions. I got one for my previous bike. Mail ordered it from UK and cost about $80!

 

Another way will be to ask on the US ZX10R forum. Am sure someone posted the specs there or have access to it...

 

If you don't adjust the valve clearance, you will experience gradual power loss over time as the intake/exhaust valve will not open/close on time..

 

PS :There's no such thing as taper clearance. Probably tappet clearance was what he was referring to

The tappet clearance is the distance required between the valve tip and the valve actuator (rocker). A gap is required to allow for expansion of the valves as the engine heats up. If no gap was allowed between the valve and the rocker, as the valve expanded, the rocker would hold the valve off its valve seat resulting in poor performance, poor fuel consumption and ultimately a burnt out valve.

 

Good enuff for ya??

hey clubhead, can you fill me in on some basic maintenance and things that are to be done? eg. valve clearance after 24k like what you've mentioned.

Nothing much really beyond the valve clearance. The rest is pretty basic like checking of brake pads, clutch, change oil, plugs, clean air filter. I'm sure you know of this. Valve clearance is the one thing most people ignore or don't even know about.... And even if they know, their mechanic might just anyhow adjust without having the appropriate specs...

I really can't say for sure. You need to read the manual to find out. But my previous Honda also recommended a valve clearance check/adjustment at 24,000km so it be all around that mileage...

I would assume the agent, Evershine, would have them for sale... eBay surprisingly has none so far...
