Yesterday went to Looi's motor to ask about the TPM and it cost about $300/- (never change coz have to wait for abt a month or so.) Then went to Unique at Kaki Bukit to change the tube valve and rear brake pad (EBD) total cost $120

[Yzf_R1]

EBC brake pads cost around $75. But I realize all aftermarket pads will eat ur disc. My disc looks badly eaten up now..

I would suggest you change back to original cos you disk will eat up faster than you can see...

[sallehsapeyee]

Well the 1st owner already used the aftermarket brake pad. Abit eat up. Anyway tks for the info. Juz try out tis one if not good then I change back to the original one. Yesterday change back to original headlight bulb as the previous owner used 90/100 wat bulb. Afraid the headlight might burn out.

Does anyone here change the pole light bulb for the front to LED bulb? Tinkin of changing the signal light bulb to LED one. Any comment whether have to change the relay or not. As the previous bike that I used have to change the relay for LED signal bulb.

My pole light used to be LED, no problem at all. Now it's LED with blue strobe. As for my signal light, I used those silver coated bulb. No LED as I scare it will flash too fast like all those sports bike.. If put relay = no point changing to LED rite? Cos consume same power.

Nop the relay will control d flashing to normal. Juz change the ori relay to Led relay. Less consumption.

[Doremi]

my friend wanna let go his stock shock and front fork springs. Let me know if any of you want.

But changing the TPM battery needs some modifications. Not all bike shop would try. Care to share at which shop you did your modifications?

For the Tire valve, I purchase Bridgeport n cost abt 60 bucks plus installation. Abt the TPM battery, which shop can change the battery for my bike coz to ex to change the whole unit. Boght the bike from Speedway at Toh Guan

[Advrider]

Read a couple of page back. I posted the Bridgeport installed after a broken original tire valve. If you want other brands please check the reliability issue . Cos someone ever posted in the forum having a broken valve.

[Highnoon rider]

The battery may look like those u can buy it at shop . But the shouldering part is the hard part . So wat I did is that I wen to buy the battery that has wire on it aready ..at sim lim ... The shouldering part I ask Sanfu to do it for me .. Hope it help... Whatsapp me if u guys want to see the battery 92747880.

[Yzf_R1]

Original one.

[Highnoon rider]

Oh shittsss ... Wat I heard is a one of our local rider who broke the after markets type cause of the angle of the valve he got so in to it that he applied to much force while pumping air and broke it lol...

Posts: 5 Replacing tire pressure sensor battery

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I needed to replace a front tire last week and had the low battery warning coming up. So, the sensor was removed, pulled apart (even though its not really supposed to be) and very gently I managed remove the battery which was surrounded in glue and physically connected to the battery somehow.

 

I replaced the battery which was a CR2032 3volt worth $4, glued it back in place and refitted the sensor and new tire.

 

I had real concerns that the sensor may have 'lost comms' with the bike electronics but no, it works like a charm!

 

Stuff paying Kawasaki the $450 I was quoted for a new sensor!!

 

So swapping the battery does work, just be careful when removing it from the sensor as the sensor is a little flimsy.
