Sunday ar? sure, count me in (90% coming)

I have WW le. just duno how to change it.

Wat else do i have to bring?

[winstonz]

i'm not changing to vesrah. got myself ferodo instead. Vesrah is a sintered brakepad which i read isnt so rotor friendly.

anyone using brake fluid dot4 and higher? dot5.1 brake fluid? comparing a dot5.1 brake fluid and a HEL brake hose... any significant different? rear brake not recommended to have HEL right?

Vesrah is a sintered brakepad which i read isnt so rotor friendly.[/b] rotor wear is part and parcel of wear and tear, and there will be a day when then rotors need to be replace.   I can see where you are coming from for not using Sintered Brake Pads, however I do stress that you are sacrificing Braking for longivity of your rotors.   Then again, you just increase your probability of inability to brake in time. This can also lead to head on collision which may inturn leads to your rotors having to be replace as well(crash damage).

[winstonz]

nah, i'm not seeking for the best brake fluid out there in the market. anyway here is a place to ask n share information on biking. i dunno about dot4 nor dot5.1, dot5.1 over hel etc etc... so jus ask ma. dun ask never know

eh... if not taking out the headers, then still need all this meh? so taking out or not huh? :confused:

[lindavw]

my suggestion is dun take out the headers cos it will be damn precision to put back... if 1 screw not tighten properly the combustion so on will be affected.

i sprayed mine oso neva take out... cos the 2 inner headers quite diff to access the nuts.

[Vuitton]

Clean air filter on this coming D.I.Y, use re-charge kits to wash it and wait for it to dry ? How to check my coolant thing is working fine, need to top-up or flush ? Got my bike not long ago and need u guys to guide me along. Top-up with normal tape water or ??

to flush or topup depends on when was the last time u change ur coolant. check ur reserve coolant reservior if too low jus topup. u can get the waterwetter and do a flush together with the guys on the diy. get distilled water for your coolant. jus got ur bike??

cleaning of air filter only applies to knn. and u have to provide your own re charge kit.

yup wash and wait for it to dry.

coolant can either get WW and distilled water to mix then flush.
