Yo guys,keep this thread alive leh.

As has been discussed before..This thread is best kept 'alive' with constructive comments of technical info or RVF related issues. if you have interesting tech info, mod suggestions, bike related problems, post and contribute here. This thread is for serious discussions only.

 

All talking corks, lively chats ala IRC , ICQ, pls go to the other rvf thread in Sportsbikes Section. The reason is to preserve the years of precious tech info and discussions stored here from mindless chatterings and marketplace gossips.

 

This thread is like a library. Quiet but informative so ppl can study (find out more abt RVFs). The thread under sportsbike section is like a coffee shop where u guys can talk cork, sing song and chat the pages away. Not here please. I hope i dun have to repeat myself regarding this issue again.

 

Thank you.

I have changed to a knn air filter from k&T with some jettings tuned to suit my air filter 2 years back.However,i find that original air filter is still better.Seems like my bike has more power with the original filter compared to the aftermarket filter.Any comments abt that?

I need your advice bros, I left my bike untouched for a week and found a pool of oil on the ground. Further inspect it and the bottom of the farring is oily. Checked on the engine oil, after screwing in and out the dip stick oil level seems fine.

 

Anyone encounter this problem? What are the causes that cause the leak of the engine oil?

Just to check, did u see your Engine oil pressure come on when engine is runing? If not, good.

This might be simple to isolate. Lez see if you can rule out these factors 1st;

 

The next time this happens, feel your fingers around the Engine Oil Drain plug at the bottom of the engine oil sump (dun do it when engine is hot, the downpipes might burn you)...isit oily? If it is, perhaps the mech did not tighten the drain plug properly on yr last oil change.

 

Another suspect which is actually normal is that oily chain lube fling-offs tend to collect near the bottom fairing right below the front sprocket area on the left side. It may be just that, especially overnight after you lube the chain with a "watery" type chain lube , excess tends to drip off near the front.

Its just braided metal wires.

 

Tip ; can buy from D.I.Y shop. they sell by length.

 

After that just get pinch tabs that can be pressed onto the ends with a plier to form a small loop to secure to the chasis. U can get rubber hoses to wrap round the metal wires to protect your hands from frayed ends.

Thanks for your reply Shay, it's definatly not the chain lube, maybe the tighteniing part. I did check and touch the bottom of the engine and it is oily. Could it be the gasket leaking?

 

Need to sent to the mechanic to rebuild my right fork. Plus servicing for the leakage. Anywhere to recommand? Last question is the ERP bracket. Where to get it ah?

 

Thanks in advance:cheeky:

Yea , green elastic bands right? I think they call it "Cutters".

 

But dun be crazy la, you want to give the thieves an easy time stealing your helmet?

 

Get the metal braided wires like OEM. Tougher to cut off by itchy fingers and is longer lasting.

ic... cos i was tinking ma.. since the 'cutters' are short... so it wun protrude out of my pillion seat when i hang a helmet... the double D rings would be inside....

 

thats my imaginary illusion of how its gonna work

 

but i tink i'll use metal wires , den probably find a rubber tube to wrap around it.. if not use those coloured sticky tapes to wrap around the wires

Saw on e-bay,rear hugger for RVF selling at 40pounds.Anywhere in S'pore selling cheaper?Cos better to invest in a rear hugger to protect the suspension areas.Would a Super 4 rear hugger fit ours?
