[Royston46]

Yeah!

 

Just came back from Ah Boy there, got the 4 bolts for $1. On the spot took out the old bolts and changed them.

 

Now my bike feels so much stable on straight roads with the fork brace tightened to the max.

 

Should reflect to Darren, cannot use so short bolts in the first place mah.

 

Bro Quiksilver,

 

Mai lah, do I look Ah Gay to you?

 

Kekekeke!

hi quizesilver.. busy for ur exams lately? wanna ask u hor.. how much ur alarm cost? kinD of interested.. u diy urself or bike shop fix de? =)

[Guest quizesilver]

yup busy with my exam.

my alarm is bought at a promo price of $75 from vector 1 which include installation. it is easy to diy too.

[winstonz]

the other time i took out the brake pads to clean, cos alot of noise from braking. took out the brake pads then happily pump the foot brake while i spray water... fatal mistake man. had a hard time pushing back the brake piston to its original location before i got enough space to slot in my brake pads. do extra kana extra.

take note guys!

[Guest quizesilver]

remember tat time i change for u told u dun pump the level....

u r lucky the piston never drop out.

[fabian]

Huh! No more DIY? Darn those thieves...

 

Still got so much thing to learn from..

 

Haven't learn how to clean brake pad, change spark plugs, etc, etc.

 

Still need to change EO also.

 

So sad:weep:..,Always looking forward for every next one.

 

Wish to get one of those SM horn. SM1 or SM2 better?

 

Where should i buy and install at? Around how much?

 

And can anyone advise me on what type of spark plugs is good enough for Ver s?

 

[Guest quizesilver]

SM horn all ard the same u can't hear the diff.

most car work shop would sell. autobac at BB also have. price then was $16 diy. plus abt $3 for wire n connector.

 

plug. i can't advise. check with bike shop to confirm else those riding Ver S.

 

hope to have the diy soon back for all.

in the mean time. time for u all to be friendly with shop uncle. btw all the diy is i juz try never go bike shop change liao then learn. so far all are successful. glad all are happy with the stuff they change/diy

 

anyway. for the past diy session glad to know some frds along the way too. n can see all love their bike very much. hehe

 

forget to ask if u all have gf anot. wait the gf jealous haha

not enough

 

we also need torque wrench to precisely calculate the amount of force required to turn that tiny little hex head screw 1 more lb/feet also cannot

 

but i do agree with marvin, sometimes there's a lot of trial and errors. like some old sages say, the best way to learn and remember is to make mistake (they probably never survive the ride on a motorcycle without a proper installed braking system)

See... flooooooopy support me leh...

 

Aiyo, Super 4 can trial and error one lah...

its a naked bike for a reason mah...

 

Reason being,

 

everytime u wanna check this change that no needa take out fairings mah...

 

mabbe u can start learning ur super 4 by taking out ur own oil tank...

from there, u'll be able to change ur spark plugs easily..

 

or open out ur headlight assembly...

then from there, u can chiap lights and decorate ur bike to suit this X'mas..

 

find out where's the battery and how to change it...

 

Engine oil huh... aiya ask motortiam do lah..

then save the trouble of disposing the dirty oil and dirtying ur hands...

wait all start to DIY liao then al the motortiam close down how...

See... flooooooopy support me leh...

for once, u make some sense.

 

i agree. all can diy except EO and oil filter. not that it's difficult, it's just that disposal of the used stuff is a hassle. oh... there's really no better x'mas tree like marvy's super4 x'mas tree

 

next stage of diy, remould everything plastic to carbon fibre or better, shiny aluminium

[luvpuzzle]

motordiam wun close down de coz there's alwaz me to support

haha... den do what i do, i DIY AT the motordiam! cuz i know the mech, so i jus borrow his oil filter adapter den leave the old oil at his shop. anyway i think he prefer that also, cuz no need to bother him to do for me, cuz he dun charge me service also. he feel it's also better to learn my own stuff.

 

wah... aluminium fairings? cheem... i'm thinking of welding a metal bracket on the rear frame of my bike under the cowling, so can drill holes n fix on a handle bar for pillions, like spec 3 one. but not gonna use the spec 3 handle bar *thinks....

[floppy]

err... my mechanic do for me, dun charge me service also leh

but they are a good source of info for those who wants to know how to diy. my mechanic is quite forthcoming with info and very willing to teach. so, do pay a visit to your friendly neighbourhood motordiam.

 

as for the pillion bar, there's no need to drill holes. not sure if this is what u mean, but here's what a jap have done...
