HUH! How cum change battery so expensive? Shouldnt it be around $100 the most?

Why must change the TPS har? Any difference after changing?

170 is cheap already. That time cheeko asked AM he was quoted 180+, from HL it was 197.5 anyone knows where to get it even cheaper? Mine's due for a chage soon.

well, typically i've heard that the original FJR battery cost abt $180. its the actual DRY CELLL ones, not those"maintenance-free from LAB".

 

i experienced that my FJR wil ceased after idling for a while, even after doing my throttle-body-sync, thus mech suggested that the problem might either be with the Fuel-Injectors being "dirty", or that the Throttle-Position Sensor is spoilt. as my bike is pretty new, the chance of the injectors being dirty is very low, thus decided to change the TPS and see if the prob will continue.

 

True enough, after changing the TPS, prob is solved.

 

1 other issue to share with u guys: when i got my FJR initially, rode it up to Cameron HIghlands, and realised that the bike was vibrating quite significantly at speeds 140kph and above. the problem lies on the fact that the throttle-body-sync shows that 1 of the cyclinder was running slightly off from the other 3.

 

just tested the bike after doing all these changes, and also changed to Densol Iridium, now my FJR sounds BEAUTIFUL and also rides perfectly!!!

 

hope this helps u guys....

Cheekopeh, why post a picture of the 'wee-wee' bowl ar?

[DiabolicZero]

WOW! Never knew our batteries are so expensive!

Anyone knows why? Normal bikes one cost only about $60. Is it becos FJRs are fuel-injected / have a lot of electronics parts, battery special thats why so ex.

[DiabolicZero]

Mine is about coming 3years old but engine wun die off during idling. Does that mean no need itchy hand go change the TPS?

Also, any recommendations where I can do a TBS? What the price like?

 

Thanks.

My Ohlins rear shock absorber is finally installed!

 

Brand : Ohlins

Type : 46PRCS

Model : YA342 (for ABS models)

Cost : S$1800nett (including shipping and installation)

Waited : 8 weeks

Duration of Installation : 6hours

Effect : SHIOK!!!

[DiabolicZero]

The darn leaking OEM shock absorber :gun

[DiabolicZero]

The new shock

 

Sportings confirmed that I'm the 1st ABS-FJR to purchase this shock.

Need to run-in the shock for a week before giving my final comments, but so far its bagus! No more horse riding when crossing over humps and very stable during travelling.

[DiabolicZero]

Look for Sportin Motors / Chong (fatboi) if interested to purchase.

Installation will be done by Henry, who has been trained in Italy by Ohlins.

[DiabolicZero]
