oh ok.... thanks....

if possible just use warm water and soap. . . if use kerosene when you wash it do a very very fast job, suggest you wipe with cloth instead of wet wash.

Hi,

 

just change my box to a bigger one, but the technician open the small black bracket covers for my givi rack to adjust my rack back a bit so that can place the box behind, however i can't fix it back anymore because all break into half already. Any ideas where can i get the covers?

who broke the nut cover? you or the mechanic? if the mechanic break it, why they didn't replace it for you?

Hi people, newbie here with a TA200.

 

Was thinking of getting EBC brake pads after reading quite some positive comments about them, but i noticed those that posted contact are usually for the CB400 or bigger bikes, so i was wondering if theres one for our TA200.

 

If yes whats the price like for our TA200, as well as location?

 

Many many thanks~~~

Megalord: I'm currently using EBC organic brake pads for both front n rear. Feels much better den those cheaper solutions. Anyway for me, they cost $20 per set (1 pair) excluding installation fee, which is ard $5 per set. Got mine at Mah Motors at Serangoon Rd. Prices at other garage unknown. They do hav EBC ceramic brake pads too, at ard $50+ per set.

Guess you misunderstood my qns... I'm not toking abt using EO to clean tyre....

 

I wanna get rid of the EO on the side of my tyres... so asking if kerosene is ok or not... or is it bad to the tyre....

 

Hi PKR,

 

just use a cloth and wipe it. than use kiwi to polish it black can liao

 

cause kerosene cant "dry off" immediately, what if people throw cigrate butt ... :sweat:

Woot, thanks alot sky_vinz, really appreciate that. I long heard of EBC capability, i guess its time to try it. Ermz, hopefully not trying to push my luck too far, do you happen to have the part number for the front and rear pad?

 

Sorry if i am asking too many questions!

[sky_vinz]

Megalord: Haha, no worries! Btw I dun hav it's part number, but u can juz speak to e sales directly, tat u wish to hav a change to EBC organic/ceramic brake pads. They'll help u wif everything den on. Cheers!

Can't really blame the mech, because the rack got a bit age already. getting the cover out isn't a easy task, as the cap melts under heat and tends to get stuck with the screws.

 

Any ideas where to get them?
