as for tank bag i will suggest bagster tank bag..

get the bra den use their bag better..

price about 185 for the bra, bag also 100 plus depend on wat side u get..

its sold @ motorworld

 

t92 i got a question to ask u guys...

i see all the MY rider rider super fast, but do u all have the problem of front end wobbler?

like the feeling front very light..

i have 3 box setup, when i hit about 150 my front will start to wobbler..

so wondering those MY rider with 2 side box do they have this problem?

or how do they solve this problem? do u all use steering damper?

 

i am considering steering damper, dunno is there a need to install 1

[ivanmania_10]

mine will wobble if i hit like 140 - 160... but just for awhile, can't ride that speed for long in Sg road. =P

[swoosh]

ok np, i will clarify with them on my next trip.

@ben stay safe ride at 140 enough liao

[SilverBullet]

From my humble experience wrt casual factors that can cause frt end unstable:

 

1. tire pressure

2. suspension preload

3. tire balancing

4. ride with just the side panniers, it should be more stable

5. ride with a pillion with 3 boxes, it should be more stable

 

Aero Dynamics of the air flow over rider without a pillion and with 3 boxes will cause the frt to be unstable bcos of turbulence/unstable air flowing between rider and the top box.

 

By installing a steering damper will definitely help bike stability at high speed but the give away is steering feel at low is not that good lor.

 

As i said, these are my humble experience and i may be wrong as there are others out there that may think otherwise.

 

The best is ride within your comfort and safe limits of the rider & machine.

suspension i done liao, pressure checked

with 3 full load box wobble @ >140

1 top box @ >150~160

I dun have a pillion btw.

 

so was tinking to install a damper, den when on NSHW i set higher damping

normal riding i dun set so high.

[ivanmania_10]

My setup only one HB box behind and Scorpion exhaust. i believe is due to the exhaust. but i anything one la..never care so much.. hehz

[SilverBullet]

BEN... from your earlier post understand that you have lower your rear suspension and i am assuming that u have also lowered your frt by sliding up the fork tube to the max when u said suspension sorted out liao.

 

Anyway the org frt preload setting at 7 turn out fr max preload is too much and i have lowered my frt preload... it feels much better.... less harsh more compliant/stable on most road surfaces.

 

Just finish my first tankful of juice and am getting 20.7 per litre over mixture of expressway/city roads with stop & go traffic in sg.

erm 20.7 actually not very good i believe can get better

but of coz depend on ur riding style i am a hard rider too i always go hard on the throttle

 

i had readjust my preload but i dunno wats the current setup as its done by shop..

and actually i didn't lower my front fork yet, was tinking if i lower wats the point of having a dual sport bike den a road bike..

my friend said that to me too i was like, NB ya lor, i wan a diff bike thats why get this bike if not jus stick to S4 a lower road bike -_-

 

so was tinking to compensate by adding damper lor..

mayb give me a year or more den might fix back the stock shock to go back to original height.

[SilverBullet]

By only changing rear height(lower suspension) the bike geometry have also change.

This change in the bike Geometry will affect the bike handling, steering angle ,stability... etc.

 

Taking into consideration that u are not sure abt what setting was done to the frt end only u know if the handling have improve or not lor as compare to org.

[Guest B_E_N]

i know it changes alot of things..

nvm slowly set them back lo..

wun be traveling on high speed.. 140 is my cruising speed

[Guest B_E_N]

hi guys, if any1 need to change air filter faster go G max to get a pipercross air filter..

usual price is 113, now got 40% discount so its 67.80

considering a aftermarket filter its cheap la.. but up to indi whether to get anot..

 

btw the OEM filter is washable so can dun need buy new 1.. haha
