Esr (2005-2007)

[IceZ]

Sighz... Yesterday thought only need to spend $60 on a new battery but then 'heart itchy itchy' changed my EO and OF too. When about to leave, found out my fork leaking then service them. After going off, found that they had tightened the front disc brake too tight and detour back again. Since back to the motor shop, changed the front brake pads too. Then since had spent so much, went to change my coolent as well(although there's not much need to)-that's where i met with ahJap.Hee.

Total spent 4-5 times more than my initially planned.

Luckily i did not see any nice class 2 bikes lying around nor took my licence yet...If not...

 

Icez, thanks for taking your 'little bit' free time to accompany me and for your nice lobang...

 

hey no prob dude...since i'm free..of coz i'll join you lah..like they said: ESRian leaves no one behind.

Superman? Wheel fly? Never seen before lei...

How to check wheel bearing without removing wheel?

 

Grip your tyres with your knees than try to move your wheels right and left. If it shakes that means your bearings gone already. I saw my bearings, all the metal holding the ball bearings all crack even the ball bearing itself also crack. Been 2 years since I've changed it

[Guest chaochao]

I also, lucky to chao thread i drop by my bike shop to to a pre-tour check. Found out that my wheel bearing has crack due to wear and tear. I was told if i were to ride at high speed, the wheel will give way. Than i will become superman.

 

Hey Arch! welcome back! Exams huh?! Glad u got the bearings checked. Yah - high speed riding can have adverse effect on moving parts.

As for collection, there's the Sepang Packs from Manz. And the ESR Polo Tee from err....Bluesky or Manz? You may wanna check with them.

[Guest chaochao]

good thing they found out bout the bearing, would've been bad if it gave way during the trip. last time my s4 front bearing also chui, to the point i ride and it was giving out this super loud squeaking noise even at low speed, and the bike felt unstable. lucky i was near home, slowly rode back @ 30-40kph, next morning tow to shop!

another thing to note, check the wheel bearings as well as the swingarm bearings, esp for older / high mileage bikes.

 

Apply some EO to the clutch cable for those non-hydraulic clutch.

 

Spray some WD40 into your starter switch assembly, the highbeam/passing light assy, as well as the clutch and brake lever "nut". Can spray abit into your key slot as well to protect the inner mechanisms from corrosion and "smoothen' it.

 

Last but not least, check and tighten the essential nuts n bolts, ie clutch n brake levers, windshield, front fender, rear hugger, header-endcan nuts, endcan supporting bracket, and last but not least, GEAR-SHIFT LEVER and REAR-BRAKE LEVER!

 

well that all i can think of for now
