Did you get a new one from VICOM or buy a replacement 2nd hand?

Went to service my rxk for the first time and the guy said theres water in the fuel tank. Any one has the same problem? Is it better to change the fuel cap?

The HeartCollecter · October 15, 2005

Drain Out All the petrol that has been mix with water from the tank and Change to original fuel cap ...

Try spraying WD-40 at the ignition 'thingy'. I think the thing 'jam'. Cannot turn, right?

If replace, i think it will cost below $40.

yeah i can't seem to find the nipple/screw to attach the rubber hose to (as one would usually do when bleeding front brakes)?

OriaX · October 23, 2005

Exactly which shop do I go to get the back mudgaurd that cover half of the wheel, i know this had been asked b4. For me the plastic not that nice

Mine's there. Ok I know this is a silly question, is yours an after market setup? If it's not, it could be that the screw has been replaced with something else or just sealed off.

However, you can still bleed the brakes. Do this by using a 12mm wrench and bleed the brakes from the banjo bolt on the caliper. Procedure is the same. It takes more effort and time, but it'll work.

Yup correct. The banjo bolt connects the brake hose to the caliper. It's usually a 12mm sized socket wrench.

I have attached a picture of my front brake. Not exactly a clear picture. But I think you can get the message.

Go to the 'aunty' shop at Kelantan Lane.

Purchase plus install : abt $50(i guess)

looks nice, but why don't you spray the exhaust black? Since you're adopting a military theme?
