Bro good luck in your search....... for the legal Akrapovic.... Yes you can fit the one from ZX14 but you need to sacrifice the mainstand, as there's not stopper from the midpipe. I still had the end can lying at home, which I will change before my big trip...

 

Hi Andrew, so when is your big trip? Destination? Mind if I tag along...haha

 

Ya lo. When your big trip? where you go? i wanna tag along too

[ohayo]

Anyone experienced smoke coming out of the fairing when start up?

 

Wondering if I've got some insulation trapped against the engine......

 

I had this problem before. But i am not too sure whether your problem is same as mine.

 

Engine oil was leaking from one of the stopper behind the radiator. During the cold start, the smoke will come out of fairing when after the bike warm up. According to my mech, the engine oil that leaked on the exhaust header evaporated after the heat is on. That explained the smoke.

 

MOreover i have noticed drop in my engine oil level too. Better get it check before the engine oil dropped too low

hey

i had the same probs b4 too...

it could be a manufacturer`s design fault.

 

smells like burnt plastic right??

i cant seem to find any melted wires thou..

then 1 day i found out tt my coolent reserve tank is almost empty..

if u find the solution, pls let me know too ok?

i suspect is the coolent also.

maybe the mech nv put back properly after i flushed my coolent..

)&%)&*@$.. now seems ok already after he topped up the reserve tank with TAP WATER..

i was like WAHHHHHH... but since he poured in already then bo bians....

i heard elsewhere that tap water cannot suka suka pour into coolent tank one..

Mr Ohayo, thanks a million for the wonderful... Have look through most of it & find it very useful, especially now that my bike is still stock condition... Thanks bro!

 

As for this Sun, would very much love to join & recce the shop @ Bukit Indah but however, I have got family business to attend to... Probably, can join the nxt session or if the address of the shop can be post here, maybe can check it out other time...

Bro, from my limited knowledge, a mech once told me that u can't even put 100% tap water in as it may foul the entire coolent system... I believe we must at least mixed a certain percentage in order to not get any problem with our coolent.. Correct me if I'm wrong...

if u looked at the content listing on the bottle of the coolant you should see things like phenylenediamine and various forms of chromates and nitrites.

 

they are help to prevent corrosion inside the radiator and engine parts that comes into contact with the coolant.

 

but they are only inhibitors that work at optimum operating temperature so its best not to mix pure tap water.

Bro if you want we can help you place order for the parts you want from the JB shop. Have to place some deposit though. Check the prices for the parts here in Nevershine 1st and how long they will take to arrive. Get the part number as well. Then I can check the prices and the arrival period there in JB and give you a call. You decide then. The shop is open on Sunday. They only close on Tuesday.

 

Thanks for the help Bro, I will check the price this Sat n get my clutch fix first.

Vara, Ohayo

 

I'll most likely do a 4-6 weeks trip up to north eastern Thailand, doing a big loop. Most likely will be joining the Thai bikers group. No firm plans as it's still in the infant planning stage. Will keep you guys in the loop if the plans are firm.
