Haha wat to do, no competition so no sense of urgency lah bro..

 

There are competitors out there just that he will consolidate his orders before ordering. That's to keep his price competitive.

Hi ,

 

From Wat I was told by some "experts" from gtr overseas . . . . e reason being EO is slightly below e required amt n due to hard riding or speeds beyond 200 kmh plus . . . e EO being circulate in e engine n being pumped up n e sensor below in e engine detects low EO levels . Replacing or adding/ topping up of EO solves e problems .

 

I changed my to a new EO n OF (4.4L) . . . lights totally gone oredi .

 

 

Ride safe guys !!

Experienced it few times until bo chap liaoz ... Juz start e bike n ride, only couple of things dat i wud take notice ie sign of worn bearings n leak head gasket... As for EO level, i leave to e trusty hands of ah tak n juz randomly check e oil level..

[mitsui_kobe]

Wan,

 

What are the signs of a worn bearing and leak head gasket?

[WanFazer]

Check exhaust header bro, there will b some oil residue.. B4 i kena e prob, i did ask for opinion from fellow rider, he told me u can smell like "eo burnt" like dat but i didnt smell it until i touch e header n felt e oil residue...

 

For bearing, there will b a distinct sound when u go for bend in e carpark at low speed... When my rear wheel had dat sound, i dun wait n change both front n rear..

Btw i experienced e FI warning on during my ride up to Ao Nang during cruising at 180km/hr at NSHW but on my way back there's none.. N i didnt top up EO ...

[Advrider]

You can prevent the oil leakage. When you go for service get the mech to re torque all the screws, cos after a while all your screws will be loosen especially the factory will not tighten it fully. According a my GTR kaki in Malaysia they will re tighten all the screws when they send in for the first service after run in. Last time I had it tighten during my 10k service, found that the headers, engine bolts and engine blocks screws not tighten.

 

 

Cheers.

wat is the damage for a full set of front brake pads. mine going to botak liao.

 

btw, officially taken over a gtr. the handling i shd say, impressive given the size of the bike. need to do up a few items b4 its good to go.

[WanFazer]

Congrats bro ... If u buy e OEM pads locally, it will cost $290 a pair.. If order online it cost bout S$160-170 a pair (shipping incl) ... Go n ask from ur bike previous owner bro, he have lots of info ...

[skateboy]

hmmm..... but he changed to braking rotors. dun think oem ones r suitable. i'm enquiring on vesrah brake pads. anybody interested? it works well on my fz1. shd b good on the gtr.

Just to add there are 4 pieces on each calipers. So that makes 8 pieces. Cheers.

Cannot compare FZ 1 and GTR in terms of power and weight ratio. Things like the brake pads I would not save money on it. Period.

You should see his FZ1 rotors.. Its smooth.. No deep scratches like my stock and now braking rotors. Can consider and try his pads. Anyway its confirm cheaper than local stock pads..

[WanFazer]

Aiyah like dat cannot compare e price oreidi if not using e oem ones... After market pads there's alot in e market so take ur pick.. As for me, no more oems coz changed to ebc rotors liaoz... Fazer n GTR r totally 2 diff league but if one can take twisties on GTR like how Fazer cud, upzzz for e rider hehe...

 

Btw met 1 uncle few weeks ago, he said he had clear his GTR meter @ 300 km/hr ... I juz go, "Whoooaaaahhhh" hehe.. I oso got clear meter, in my wet dreams ar haha....

hehe... i had done my home work. and also manage to find the part number for various brands. OEM, EBC, Braking, sbs, NewFren, Vesrah.

when it comes to braking, its more on the weight than the power of the machine cos when u brake, u dun throttle at the same time. its not about saving money on brake pads. besides comparing the price, i oso would like to know the performance n durability of the brake pads. wats the use of getting "good" brake pads that wears off damn fast or eats into the rotors? i'm looking at good brake pads that gives good braking feel that will not fade over time, durability of up to 18 mths n will not eat into rotors.

 

now that i'm not using oem rotors, i cannot find the right brake pad to recommend. but for fz, i strongly recommend vesrah. good braking feel for 18 mths since 1st usage, not eating into rotors n the pads r still thick.

Thanks. the braking brake pads dun appeal to me after i checked on the pads during cleaning. the wear rate was damn fast. so i'm looking at vesrah. hope its good.

hahaha.... actually can compare lah. no harm comparing. base on the handling of gtr, i think its not much of a prob to take it on twisties roads. i will try that one day.
