sure, they both use the same bulbs. after they've cooled down just manually remove both bulbs and exchange. in fact technically its perfectly legal if you keep to just one bulb until it also blows.

If you mean just switching the bulb over, it is possible. If you mean switching the whole bulb connector, its also possible. It's better in my opinion. The lights shine straight out, not dipping. Road trips at the NS highway I can see the whole view out if I take the centre lane.

i believe the status now is "pending" for michelin singapore, when i called them 2 days they themselves dun even know, was pushed to the local distributor n got rebuked for bullshitting sommore

 

 

if u want to contribute to the hounding task force, by all means, call the number n ask for the yang guy, if hes not in demand for his hp number,if u want it, pm me

 

the yang guy is suppose to get back to me, not until now

 

pressure them to do somethin, it looks pretty scary from the gixxer thread the entire centre wall got ripped, no more high speed NSH for the time being

i always park it near the exit( millenia walk), the left bend there, cos i surveyed there is highest human traffic cos the shopping centre entrance is nearby and there is sorta like unofficial smoking point

 

where did u exactly park ?

[fubby]

i parked beside the escalator lobby.. b1 ... zzzz.. the nearest exit leads to oriental hotel... just my damn luck... gotta wait till tmr before i know wat **** is in my ignition keyhole...

[LamerFornica]

HI there is another place i park at MS and seems quite ok.

If you notice there is a entrance to the carpark on the side facing the river which esplanade is further up.

there used to be an arcade there but now no longer there anymore.

You can go in from that entrance and turn left and park behind the cars.

Very few bikes will park there and so far since long time ago till now whne i park there with a few other bikes seems quite ok.

 

Anywaes sorry to hear about what those lame ppl did with ur bike.

 

Regards

Lamer

that one ar... that one you must set according to your comfort I think... I did use to follow the various some 'bike mag's Recommended setting' but eventually I found it didn't suit me ley... Try to find out your stock setting first la then adjust from there? If you need help maybe I can dig out some old stuffs...if I still have. Bwahaha...

oh ok...thks...guess i should just ride the stock adjustment first then...

thks alot dude!!

just got back from k&t. changed chain. oem chains (rk takasago) cost 260 btw. was advised that the oem are actually better than afam coz they last longer, whereas afam are made of lightweight alloy.

 

but more importantly, clifford was kind enough to give me the number of a local michelin rep named bobby (sorry i wont give the number as i'm not in the habit of passing around other people's numbers without permission).

 

what the michelin rep told me is this: the recall was because of 2 seperate cases in brasil where 2 haybusas in drag race experienced the rubber peeling off at speeds above 250kmh. no other cases were reported but michelin is still recalling all the 2ct nonetheless. i will be contacted when new 2ct stock arrive, and he has offered a replacement.

 

in any case, i'd advice ppl wanting to fit michelin 2ct at this point to wait until new stock arrive, coz at best the shop would have no stock for the front tyres coz they have all been recalled, at worst they'll sell you the stock being recalled without telling you.

 

in the mean time, i'll have to shut my throttle when i hit 249kmh

[superbike]

who would expect this to happen in singapore... im just glad my bike was still there ... if it was stolen ... haiz... take care mates...

 

 

I know how sad you are right now but most important thing is only minor damage. Lucky for you. Cheer up mate.
