hhhahahhaa... fierce ehh~~

 

Wana exchange bikes???? hhhhahahaa.. each to his own i guess.... not my cup of tea though... but ST is really a worthy ride no matter how i deny it..... compared to an RT.. except for the brakes, suspension n radio... i wun change my ST for it siahh~

 

Anyone can actually verify the early warning signs for the "ticking" problem???

The tick sound of course.. which is so vague...

 

Anyway, if ur fuel consumption keep going up and up, thats one of the symptoms...

The early sign of the ticking problem is the ticking... It sounds like a loud click/tick as your engine is running. Comes from the exactly at the valves there (its the sound of the valves clicking against the rails. It is apparently quite loud.

 

If you let it run without taking corrective action it will ruin your engine eventually.

 

Honestly, this is only what I read from the forums, I don't know what it soudns like because my bike has no such problem.

Since we are talking about the engine mounting bolts, its not really good to do it without a torque wrench.... either too tight or too loose can really be problematic..

OK, Just done it this morning

 

Motovation Slider installation:-

 

1) The FIVE 4mm hex screws on both sides are easy to locate and remove, so

no need to elaborate.

 

2) The TWO 4mm hex screw from the front cowling and ONE 4mm hex screw from the bottom where the fairing meets are also easy to locate and remove.

 

3) Now this is more difficult to find, on the right (sitting on bike) look from the front wheel just below or side of the battery there is ONE phillips pop-up plastic quick fastener. Screw it anti-clockwise and it will pop out.

 

4) Turn the handle bar to your right (sitting on bike), look from top of bike, beside the glove compartment and hazard light push button, locate ONE phillips pop-up quick fastener. Turn anti-clockwise and it will pop out.

 

5) Now both fairings can be remove.

 

6) When removing the fairing, be careful to disconnect the connector for the signal lights. They are fool proof connector and don't need to do any markings.

 

7) All the original 10mm mounting bolts that comes with the bike are 55mm long with 2mm thick washers.

 

8) For the left side (sitting on bike) use the supplied 80mm bolts for both upper and lower mounting and the thicker spacers.

 

9) For the right side, the 65mm long mounting bolt have to be use in the upper hole because the engine block is not thick enough to accomodate the full 80mm length bolt. The thinner spacer is use here.

 

10) The 80mm mounting bolt is use in the lower hole together with the thinner spacer.

 

11) One way to prevent engine hole alignment from shifting is to remove the upper mounting bolt first and install the spacer and bolt with the bracket and hand tighten till tight. Remember to have the bracket hole above the lower bolt so that after you remove the lower bolt, you just insert the spacer and then slide the bracket DOWN to align with the lower mounting hole and screw in the lower bolt without the upper bolt loosening.

 

12) Torque the 10mm mounting bolt to 55Nm.

 

13) After installing back the fairings, I install the slider and torque it at 40Nm.

 

 

Conclusion:-

 

This slider fits very well without any problem at all, but I feels that the slider is a bit too short to provide adequate protection for the fairings and signal lights.

I might look out for a longer slider in the future.

 

NB: I managed to borrow a torque wrench from my brother's workshop and finish this installation today

Good Job Reborn!

 

Good to know it fits... my torque wrench will arrive in 2 weeks then I will install.

 

Should not be hard to get a "longer" slider.... after all it uses a standard bolt size to attach.

 

BTW, your pic is your daughter?

Left Slider view from the top seems to provides little or no protection for the signal light

I still have a few more photos to upload, why cannot do it, damn

I think finding a longer slider should not be a problem too.

But how much does the flush signal light cost? Are they integrated to the fairing?

 

My 02 signals dun look too ex.. If it were really to fail during a fall, i guess it wont cost me too much to replace... Another thing is 02 signals flex when they are bent.. I dropped my bike twice and once, the signal light sort of bent "in" but can easily be pulled out...
