There are so many brands in the market. You will need to narrow down what you need. Anyway we can only give an estimate pricing. Shops are the best to ask coz we dun change sprockets and chain every day, so will not know the varies prices for the different brands/make/quality.

 

Go back to your trusted mech. I'm sure they will be able to give you a good price.

$200 sounds reasonable. Get the brand and model and check other shops as well. Need to do homewerk.

 

I know AFAM or Vortex sprockets + chain cannot get at $200 hahah

 

Maybe others may wanna advice.

 

So your bike 2nd hand? If the sprockets and chain are OK, then no need to change. Juz need regular chain maintenance.

A very bad habit bought over from Class 2B. Please drop this bad habit. Any bike if given tender and loving care will start perfectly hehehe. It should start as nature intends to. Not by force.

 

If you open throttle in a carb bike, won't that cause the engine to be flooded? Ya I guess yours is a GSR Carb Limited Special Edition, or you have not gotten a GSR yet. Anyway its alright if you have not, we won't humiliate you or something. Its a learning experience.

 

There is the fast idiling in FI bikes to handle such cold start. Correct me if I am in the wrong.

 

Thats true, even my bike's rpm is only at 1, and i can start it with no probz...

The next tym u start ur bike, take a lk at ur rpm, eg. if ur bike's rpm is at 1 when idiling, like mine, after u start it wil auto go up to ard 1.3-1.4, before slowly going back dwn to 1, once the bike is stable, voala! fast idiling.

[AhGui]

Shanjay, that is actually a auto choke feature that comes with the bike, most Fuel Injected bikes or cars i know has this, so starting is easier, and no need to twist throttle....

 

Besides if u cannot start ur bike, that means something went wrong somewhere.... dun try to start liaoz..

[Shanjay]

ok guys... guess i really have to make up my mind now... after change the spark plug yesterday.. when i reach home and off engine.. for bout 5 min... then i try to start again then the prob come but after 3 times it start... so i guess today i will make a trip to HKL again... and get my bike a whole check up i guess.. if the cost is too high then i will really have to change my bike! (anyone wanna be my guarantor??) haha...

 

but sumthing when amiss i guess.. after the change i feel the bike engine get louder... you guy hav this prob?? sound like the air filter had open up... u know wat i mean rite? but i open the bike and see the filter is there... but the sound is very loud now... sound like won won won.... at the right hand side there.... i think is the VALVE???? if like this then i guess getting another bike is possible already as i dun wish to fix the bike cos it cant make to my expectation of my riding style...

 

haiz.... later will report here after the check and will i still be the stealth rider or not...

 

Hey bro, mayb could be that ur coil fried, i had the same prob too, mine was a manufacture defect of the coil, so gt it changed for free, it has the same symptoms that u described... but, ten again, i cud be wrong, beta to get ur bike a full check up...

[AhGui]

Wah, dun like change, too rich sia....

 

But i wonder why sometimes got little problem, then change bike, next bike got problme also then change another bike???

 

Think b4 u do anything la bros.... sorry if i offend anyone...

 

But after riding my GSR for 2 years plus, i somehow dun have much probs yet...

 

Must maintain ur bike often, if ur riding style is like sport bike, i dun see why the GSR cannot perform, some have gone to track with it liaoz...

 

My views are, it is not the bike, it is the rider........ somehow, the bike is has already hit my expectations...

hmmm, no i dun hv probz starting my bike, im jus explaing regarding the fact that u shud not throttle wen u start the bike.

[AhGui]

Yup yup... was just informing of this feature...

 

Peace peace...

I ever saw the Super4 Revo will rpm till around 2.5rpm when start for like 3 mins.. then it will go back around 1.5 rpm (the exact rpm not sure, but theory like that)

 

but for my GSR, i never see it start like that lei.. hmm.. always 1.1 to 1.2rpm when start the engine..

[kenshin-gsr]

 

so finally my bike future has been made.... feel very hard to let go... but it seem like the prob lies in the engine it self... the mech say it was the timing chain and the crobe cannot syn the timing... so wanna operate it... but i decide not to do it as i decide to change already today! and thanks for all the GSR who really care bout this.. but now i already sell off my ride... 2moro going to the shop with the bike and kiss good bye...

 

Can no longer be the stealth rider anymore... haiz... but outing stil can d... if u all dun mind i too slow... with my new rider...

 

wat is that? TBA dun worry will update every1... sad to leave this community... but wat to do... i dun like the bike to be open up and let them try... haiz...
