[tyrant1983]

hey ppl,

one question...the esso 4t power sold at the esso stations...is that mineral semi or fully synthetic oil? cos i checked on the bottle...it dont say anything

[silverwing73]

I encountered this problem occasionally the past few days.....when I am at 2nd gear going to 1st gear, I would some time hear a noise like a 'thnk' sound.....and I am very sure it is not the stepping down gear sound. Do I need to be concerned ?

[RetlaW]

Just to check.. must i remove the rear box rack to change my rear signal light?

[fusionzone]

yes u have to

i also very keen to know how do we distinguish whether the eo is full or semi. i try pick up a few eo from the shelf but there is no mentioning of full or semi.

 

can some1 enlighten us?

[BlackDawn]

This is one type of crashbar. There are a few other types, wider ones, narrower ones or different shapes.

hmmm, that's odd. The bottle should indicate wether its fully or semi-syn.

[kokping]

thanks kiamh...hmm...icic...then can u explain to mi wat a crashbar does?thanks for not laughing at mi asking a silly question to most of you!

[BlackDawn]

In case of any accident, the crashbar will (hopefully) take most of the impact and damage, saving the rider from serious injuries + saving the more expensive parts of the bike (e.g. tank, engine etc) from serious damage.

[kokping]

oh...u it means it worth the investment to get a crashbar?how much roughly will it costs to put on a phantom?

[BlackDawn]

for TA200, its less than $100 (probably around $70)

for TA150, you'll have to look for madman (one of the PK's), he's the only one that has stock for TA150. Slightly more expensive, but should be around the $100 range.

[kokping]

do i need to pay them to help mi fix also?

[BlackDawn]

normally price includes installation.

[kokping]
