erm the spring from bikelab de, they so call R&D themselve de... ermmm

i dunno which method i should do leh..

 

the spring cost 240, they charge 230 for servicing of suspension, if do both they charge 410

 

might as well service your shock and change denser oil.

Hmm...super 4 shocks are at least adjustable for preload right? Should get the shop to at least set the sag, meaning how much the bike goes down when you sit on it. Usually 10-15mm. But it could also be that you're so used to the soft shocks that 'normal' shocks seem too hard now.

 

1 hour is really fast though, paint doesn't dry and set in that short a time...

"can" be done, with an oven....

 

ever read in an UK forum, an AT owner was powder coating its bits & pieces..

turns out he left out some, called up his usual shop, brought it over, settled within 3hrs..

de-rusting + coating + drying...

 

bt then, thats overseas, hv to see the local shop's handwork & mayb with the help of the almighty Sun...

Yea, oven can...but local shops will use one? Well, happy with the results can liao...

[VidaK]

puma also has. regina got sell the puma testeretta. its a riding shoe. they offer me 250 sgd (overpriced) i get online only 175usd nia.

 

or you can look into puma flat 2 v2. but regina doesnt bring it in anymore. so online only.

 

damn sian la today, lanesplit noob hit car mirror, i adjust back say sorry ride off liao. scared he go claim me insurance nia. and i got lost while on way to work, left home with 1 hour to spare, end up late for 30 mins. Workplace at bugis, i ended up in hougang. cbbbbbbbb.

 

carry a street directory... the small one will do...

 

around $ 100+ to $150 range.. need not be branded. just want a riding boots which is comfortable to wear for normal riding, can wear go out also... not too high cut cause be uncomfortable ma... waterproof also... roughly what range i should go for? touring or leather?

 

 

 

really ? where is it selling ah?

 

chong aik sell sidi products...

 

vidak: too hard? lol i feel that my suspension too soft liao lo.. bouncy liao

 

bumpy road cannot ride through fast... unless you are riding a motard with long suspension travel...

 

Touring boots are usually waterproof. Water doesn't get absorbed by the leather, it enters the boot from the seams and zippers. How waterproof the boot is depends on the quality of the stitching and materials used.

 

I have a pair of Sidi ankle length boots with toe sliders and heel support, it's comfortable but not to walk in for long distances. It's not waterproof but so far it's highly water resistant. $220, shop opposite regina across jalan besar, I cannot remember the name.

 

 

 

Servicing shocks should be pretty cheap for super 4, should get it looked at.

 

that would be power star, a branch of chong aik...

 

Change spring use king coil one better.

 

that one too big and too soft

if too hard the suspension can top-out on bumpy roads... then the rear would lift off from the ground...

[thenation]

Buy buy buy...

[Guest B_E_N]

wooot X9 corner bend @ >120KM/HR SCARY!

[GregTay67]

yeah.. no point getting a 400cc for you when you can afford something bigger..

 

Bigger bike means higher rd tax and insurance, and higher fuel consumption. Will add up to quite a bit in the long run.

[hamsterwhale]

Haha...X9 not so fast now liao...but fuel consumption not too bad I guess. Go 400km I still haven't pump yet haha.

 

wah!!! 400km!!! i max only 320 on daily ride, NSHW touring Port dickson till machap half a tank travelling at 115kmh

[dragonforce]

dun worry, vidak can afford it.

anyway the difference in insurance for my 400cc and 600cc doesnt differ alot.. fuel consumption for my 400cc and 600cc also didnt differ alot, so was the maintenance.

road tax no horse run lah.
