[Group] SUZUKI GSR 400/600

[arzme]

it was a really hard landing.. still not sure of the extend of damages.. but i am sure it will be out for a long time while the rim is replaced. Any location you all know that have ready stock rim for replacement?? The tyre that burst already cost me a bomb now its gone too... juz pray that the fork no problem... by the way the impact caused my box to break tooo.. u all can juz imagine that. I manage to control without falling is a blessing lo... haiz..

to get more dramatize... u never mention to the place and time of this thing happens? at wht speed.... i will say 'Wow' if its happens on xpressway!

 

i'm sure u had some time to think it over, so wht did u have deduce tht causes the xplosion?

 

hmmm, i don't know abt insuran claim but if its a comprehensive (first party) insuran, can this kind of damage be claimable? of course by claiming, the premium for the nxt round will be without NCD.

at planet, i saw ahchong sent a front rim off a GSX1k for repair once. so you can give it a try. u can try calling him first at 67474740. he has towing services too ask him.

Oh i was travelling along Jurong West Ave 4 juz before entering PIE before i reach the bend.Luck it was before the bend if not I will not have enough space to land straight. My problem is mine is a 3rd party... everything have to pay myself now. I going to send it bk to the shop that install my front tyre and demand an ans from them. BUt have to wait till Monday..

Bro, when the tire blew up, did u manage to keep part of the blasted tire with u??? if can, u can see the reasons why they blew up...... if im not wrong... just a thought... dun flame me..

[Magzax]

Yes i got it.. I am making a complain to Conti regarding the tyre and also the bike shop I buy the tyre from. Need to get it done and return me the justice.

ah tht the best thing abt insuran! let me qoute a saying,

"Insurance is a risk transfer mechanism. The policy-owner can exchange his uncertainty for certainty. In returns for a definite loss, which is the premium, he/she is relieved from the uncertainty of a potentially much larger financial loss associated with loss of life or disability (well in this case the loss/damage of vehicle or damage to a third party vehicle)."

 

the word is 'uncertainty'.... not predictable.... no one can predict what going to happens.... so its up to individual to assess their own risk and take the necessary measure.

 

fyi, comprehensive insuran are for new vehicles up to 3 or 5 years old (3 or 5 i can't remember), so after that it second party or third party. izin't when the bike is damn new we wan to protect it?

 

man, just think due to our own mistake and the bike is TOTAL LOSS, what happens nxt is tht u have no bike and u have to still pay installment monthly.

 

man, s'pore road is congested with vehicles! tht is high risk, man!

haha... the day dat needs to renew the insurance is like a birthday to me

Once a year...

I Just renewed my insurance which will be expired on 6th Feb...

NTUC quote me $695.59 for 3rd party fire & theft...

After 25% discount of NCD, I need to pay $565.66 with GST

Road tax $79 for 6 mths... I'm riding GSR6 and between 26-30 years old (Still young....hahaha)

 

Actually if u re also with NTUC but u have a tight budget for tis year, u can call all the insurance companies to give u a quote... I opt for NTUC is because of their good service (so far)...

 

If my memory serve me right, Ah Gui will also renew his insurance very soon

[AhGui]

Yup, mine due 13th feb...

tht the best thing abt being 'old', i just renew my insuran last december for $517.++ (after NCD) for a comprehensive one frm NTUC. well i need comprehensive due to my age... old mah, reaction a bit slow

 

anyway, each month i set a side at least $50 to $80 just for this 'birthday'. at least when the day come, its not so painful.

 

hmmm, last year i pay abt $490++ but this year slight higher... i thought as the bike ages, the premiun gets lower... hmmm

i guess they price their premiums according to the market situation nowadays. maybe claims have been sky-high, that's why. just like my premium for a 600cc sportsbike at TPFT will be 1300. utter sadness.

ur insurance is $565.66???

I just renewed mine on 20thJan.

Mine is $470.03 plus GST already. mine is NTUC, 3rd party fire and theft. riding gsr600 and between 26-30 yrs old.

[innocenti]

currently mine is from AIG....

Dats close to $100 cheaper! I believe NCD for motorbike max 25%...

Hmmm, lots of factors dat the insured person actually dont know how the calculation works... Maybe partly because of the "uncertainty condition"

 

currently mine is from AIG....

 

You can try Mitsui or any others... I would recommend u to call them when u re free... Prepare all the details with u...

I dont keep their no.s, but u can always search using Google... All the best!

[iceduck]

actually mitsui and ntuc, their premium from what i know is generally higher. mitsui used to be cheaper though.

 

NCD is actually 5% per year of no claim. each year you dont claim u get 5%. for bikes, max is 20% NCD if not wrong. additional 5% can be given by TP or insurance co. like loyalty discount or safe riding kind of thing.

 

i paid less than 600 for TPFT with AIG. im under 21 and didnt use my NCD cos i forgot to transfer.

This is really good advice especially for those who are afraid of uncertainty in the future... In fact that should be the way of doing the calculation of owning vehicle! Owning is one thing & maintaining is another thing... I used this method before I bought my vehicle and from dat I managed to derive my "break-even period"... Highly recommended! be it a Car or a Motorbike

Oh I didn't know dat, last i checked with Mitsui when I wanted to buy my bike which is in 2007... I cant remember which company offered me cheaper premium but I canceled the deal because of the hassle in dealing with them

 

Anyway dat is really cheap man!

Carzy man!!! though i would love to have a sportbike under my ass but the thought of paying the premium for the insuran, kills all thought of getting one

Ahh!! some company quote differently can also due to different value of 'Excess'....

 

anyway, with NTUC, if i'm not wrong, u can request that the 'Excess' be increase so tht ur premium gets cheapper....
