paiseh.. noob here.. =)

thanks for advice..

maybe shld change the eagle footrest..

but afraid of bua the footrest coz i m always bua-ing the floor.. =x

maybe too used to a sportsbike riding style..

 

u can try increasing the rear shocks stiffness, as it also adjust the ride height too, which will mean more leaning in order to scrape to footpegs...

 

cheers!

Most EO cap tools should be the same. Looks like a big bottle cap opener.

EO cap I presume is the dip-stick one? Sometimes (actually most of) the mech will use pliers to tighten it. So a pair of pliers and an old piece of cloth (paper, whatever, to protect the plastic cap from the pliers' love bite) would probably be needed to open it.

Nope, I believe he's referring to the cap to drain the EO, not the cap to check/top up EO.

nop i meant the cap to top up Eo... is there a special tool for it?? cause if theres a tool it be much much better. don't need use pliers.

 

 

as i know there is a tool to drain the oil out already.

Proper pressure from experience......200 for front tires.....220 for back.

For EO cap, just a simple spanner will do. I suggest u buy a small spanner and + screwdriver and put it in ur box...

Got, the tool called fingers. Hehe. I always specify to mech to "hand tighten" the cap only, no pliers allowed.

Looks like gunk from the chain. Very long time never clean the chain? Maybe ride in rain then the water dislodged the gunk?

 

If you're adventurous, you can remove the front sprocket cover and inspect visually. I still remember the first time I removed the cover to clean the front sprocket. Can't believe the thickness of crap inside. Haha.

So we can clean the chain? i thought just spray the chain lub should keep it lubbed and clean.........

 

another day i will try to remove the front cover to clean the front sprocket..

 

what tools, equipment should i standby?

From my xp, 90% its the chain lube that you are using. I used to get that too. Try changing to maxima chain wax.

 

yup... got them all in place in my rear box.. always prepare for emergency use.. so normally how offen do i pump pressure? bicycle every 2 days. Bike?

 

Every oil pump or other. No specific tool for oil cap. Eo bolt is 17. Spark plug is 18. You diy oil change? i wanted to myself but i need to tune up my bike.. so.. planet here i come.

[Zendryn]

Icic..

 

I going to change when my louya GP1 that is bought in desperation finish... later go back spray gao gao!

[Hydher]

Please dun do that. later more flings. A big maxima chain wax can cost $20 at planet. Can last for a year. I have and unfinished almost full bottle of elf chain lube which flings like to tomorrow. haha. use the tube and spray by the sprocket to the o rings.. not rollers.

[Mutaga]
