[Archived - 2009] PK Official- Questions for Newbie

[daWizard]

Hey all the bros and sis...

 

Lately, I feel my tires 'floating'...especially the rear tire. Even riding straight, sometimes feel the rear shift left or right (slightly only but uncomfortable to feel...). Is this normal? Or maybe have I overfilled my tires?

 

Thanks in advance.

hi fellow PKs,

 

I am planning on getting a reasonably good but inexpensive pair of full-length gloves. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Might be overpump, might also be bearing spoil. try and lift the bike and shake the tyres, if it feels loose, probably is bearing spoil liao.

I went to Hua Chin at Bukit Batok Area to tighten my chain. FOC. Woohoo.

 

But now gearbox still got some chain sound at gear 4, 5, 6.. Haiz.. Chain just changed not long ago, now got sound again.. sianz..

 

Anyone know what could be the cause?

 

maybe it is the chain guide/support...there is a piece of guide just when the chain enters the drive sproket..this could be the reason for the chain soind...just check it and cofirm that if is worn out then u need to replace it..

Update

Maxima chain wax is godsent

Tar remover from waxco is very effective

 

Need help

 

-tips on engine casing polishing(the one right beside your foot when u ride)

- Read up the previous threads on modifying he speedometer light bulb. Due to the inaccessible green film, have anyone successfully done white? If its between blue and the stock green, ill stick to the stock green =)

- The rubber linings between the speedometer and fuel tank can be replaced cheaply and from where? thanks

if not ridable, or in ur opinion is not safe, n u dunno what to look out for on the bike, then call for a tow to a reliable bike shop for check up...

Planet Motor Servicing Centre. Ubi. Blk 3007. 67474740. Look for Ah Chong, if you go there, try not to let china man and ang moh looking guy touch your bike.

60+ LAB, if you stay near Boon Lay market can go around looking see how much is Aeroblade II there. Remember I saw a shop selling OGK coats there when I was meeting someone to go to PG.

 

 

I just went to Boon Lay Market to check it out. There's 2 shops selling OGK FF5 raincoat, one quoted $70, one quoted $80. I asked about the Aeroblade II series but they don't have it anymore. so sad

the angmoh looking guy not good? last time he help me to change my front and rear disc brake...

[lawbah]

the angmoh looking guy not good? last time he help me to change my front and rear disc brake...

 

If you ask me... i dun think he is good. He is not very good at doing things... and the bike he serviced keeps coming back... You can ask a RVF which i think is red and black... looks like the one Chaoz is riding...

 

Also another Ver. S, maroon coloured which came back 3 times in the same day because Ang Moh cannot fix things properly....

 

Now, for China man, he dropped a RXZ with the customer staring at him and he can still smile... also cannot do things the right way... if anything is too tight, he will just use a spanner, lock onto the bolt or something and hit the floor... He took 1 hour to repair a hole in a tyre belonging to a Wave.

 

Whether they can make it or not, you see for yourself... all these i saw with my own eyes...

 

For me, only Mark, Ah Peng, 三味汤, and of course, Ah Chong can make it. Those 2 never touches my bike...

Just to share

knn filter going for 56+. Anyone want to get it together? Was thinking of getting it since its 20% off. Heard got warranty and no need to change very often. Change original filter already $25 right? cheong 1 is $10. But must buy the cleaning kit at $20?

Stronger spark, better response, improved FC... something like that lol

sounds reasonable, pardon my ignorance
