[astroemo]

well..i dont know man..but mine is vibrating like a dildo when above 90km/h:gun: haha

 

but some of my friends and old timer uncles say its the nature of the bike..

cos the chassis is not meant for speeding i guess..

 

so astroemo, u own one or planning to own one rxk? mind if i ask..

i own one already and been riding like 5 mths i think cos i just pass also. but so far so good. i got some frens who also just pass 2b and i recommend them to ride rxk but all refuse, some say not suit for them lah and blah3. but i tell them its dirt cheap and can find the parts quite easily.

Your friends probably to shy to ride the K becoz K looks like an ah pek bike in their girl friends' eyes...

Must know how to make so dun look so ah pek. Dun need to spend a bomb, simple2 can. But again each to their own preferences. Lucky my gf and my bike can get along well. If not ah.. i tell my gf.. BREAK ah!!

Like real only ah..

[sabrove]

Just wondering, anyone of u here got put balancer? Got any difference. I know Bear got put and he said can reduce a bit or the trembling and shaking2. I planning to put one also lah.

If ur gf loves, not matter wat bike u ride, she oso will follow lah.

 

K is good, no double about it but honestly it's for the niche audience who appreciates its value and looks.

 

However, the sad fact is that C2B fairing bikes are ridiculously ex, it may even be higher than C2A bikes like the S4. So we are limited in choice sometimes...

[ben1112]

Well its stated here, Owners Workshop Manual.

 

Sorry ah, im not very sure that's why i ask again.

 

Owner's manual = Safety precaution, how to topup 2t blah blah

 

Workshop manual = Torque specs, how to remove cylinderhead... etc.

 

So i presume it's the 2nd one?

Yes yes, its 2 in 1. Both also have.

[ben1112]

Oke oke thanks alot! I got a very sad condition rxk now... Looking to do it up like my prev bikes... =)

[astroemo]

What manual is it? Can i get 1 also?

One of the member here, Bear gave it to me. Lots of useful info inside lah bro. Tat time i photocopied 5 but i have none left. If u want, I can photocopy for u, which gonna cost u $9.50. FYI, i dun take profits, I charge u wat the photocopy lady charges me

 

Who else wants?

[Lord Bear]

Mmmm....I heard my name is mentioned a lot during my hibernation. Wassup K n S Kakis. Good to see a lot of ppl appreciation the value of the K nowadays. Meet - ups anyone? Kopi session?

 

Those bikes wif extreme vibrations, pls install balances and use thick grips or use riding gloves. These items help a lot to ease vibration, then again vibration help to stimulate blood flow to yr arms which is good i guess. Its like riding and getting hand/arm massages at the same time. LOL!!!!

[ben1112]

Im thinking of changing to clip ons. My brake pump is leaking very badly. Does anyone know how much does it cost to replace it and where? Can i just replace the seals or am i better off changing to an aftermarket one like racingboy one?

ME!! I dont mind the price as long as i own it.

[Belzebu]

Any of you have any idea how much a 2nd hand block will cost? my dear K need to change block, just seized recently.

[scOOtard12]

oh ok. now i learn something new which previously i dunno. but i have another ques. is rxk a type of bike which vibrate alot? or do i need to send workshop so that i can change the block to smaller size so as to reduce the vibration.

 

pardon me for being a noob. Thanks!!

 

umm the bike is meant to vibrate alot.. maybe u juz have to find a new or 2nd hand block wid bore size 0.5 or 0.25.dun go any bigger than that.normally smaller bore block wont vibrate dat much.

[scOOtard12]

btw if any of u guys interested, ive got a 2nd hand rxz plug coil.this will make ur spark from ur plug more powerful.seriously! i used it and the diff in power can really be felt.ur bike will feel more lighter due to better spark power i guess.. not so sure y can cause d diff in power.. wana let go at 25bux.. its local stuff anw.if original yamaha plug coil is abt 80~90bux.. and also got a whole rxs magneto with 12v coils all installed.. u juz have to bring to ur mech and ask em fix it up for u.not sure if can fit rxk.if interested can pm me aite...

ya..i think i need to go to the other side of the causeway to check my block size or change to a new one. becoz when i ask my mech he say very tedious to takeout just to know the size.
