Hi mikaoba01 bro ,

You might want to check a spray painting shop for bikes @ Ubi Industrial Park .

It is situated on the same stretch as First Motor .( somewhere in the centre ).

I can't recall the name of the shop though.

[WingZer0]

hi WingZero bro ,

i guess this is a common issue with Gen 6 headlights bulbs blown (low beam).

i had mine replaced twice.

yet to determine what causes the bulbs to blow

but nevertheless , enjoy ur ride ... my bro !!!

[MrIce]

my gen 5 headlight bulb(silver/white color) change less than 3 weeks blown for low beam.....

end up change back to stock(orange) so far so good

maybe u might wanna try doing 2 headlight switch for both the low beams. switch both off during warm up etc, and just alternate between them everyday. this is what I've been doing all along.

Hi to all members, did a few search and read up on overseas site and came about this term ''SMOG Emissions '' for VFR800. wondering what is this about? There was a rider who install a plate, maybe is to block off the emissions. claiming to increase performance and save some weight. wondering what is this about and is it effectives?

You might want to check ur throttle body if it is dirty or out of tunning.

[MrIce]

anywhere to check ,clean and tune ?

roughly around how much

why you worry so much? no matter how many bars drop at whatever rate, you're still gonna reach reserve at about the same mileage. bike manufacturers are always pessimistic when computing fuel levels because they don't want you to run out of petrol in the middle of nowhere. you'd rather have the bike show 6bars left after you've travelled 295km? don't care about the bars. you should be more interested in your fuel consumption cos it a useful tool for diagnostics and refuelling. too high a fuel consumption can mean your tyres are underinflated, spark plug not firing, engine oil too thick etc. too low a fuel consumption can mean your bike is running too lean etc. it can also aid you to plan your fuel stops while touring. cheers.
