ya have been to quite a number of bike shop..... it seems to be all selling at the 10-12k so i think have to see the best condition on the bike and can get some free gift with it........

 

last evening went to excel to pay installment; saw one FBB gsr there; was in a hurry, did not check whether it is 400 or 600; sorry.

perhaps u can call 68422 360 and ask lawrence?

hope this helps ur shopping.

No need to paiseh bro, and no question is a stupid qns, we are all here to learn.

From wat i know, voltmeter is to check the condition of your coil, rectifier and battery.

 

If everything is working fine, your voltmeter should read between 11.5-12v when u switch your ignition on without running ur engine.

When u start your engine and rev it up, the rectifier should charge your battery and the voltmeter should read 13V++.

 

Why i say should, is because if there is any fault with your rectifier, your rectifier will not charge the battery and u may end up with a flat batt.

Without a voltmeter, u might never know if the battery is charging cos the engine could still run.

 

Then again, your rectifier could still be working fine, but your battery may be outta shape and it can no longer hold the charge.

 

Simply put, the function of the voltmeter is a diagnostic tool to troubleshoot any electronic woes and also as preventative indicator of any electronic chaos to come.

 

If i'm wrong, any seniors pls correct me.

This is what i gathered after reading through the many2 posts on this thread and also based on my personal experience.

 

Anyway, some questions can be found using the search button bro.

I've helped u narrow down to one particular page for useful reading.

o ya, thinking to get glove too...

[IvikaRazI]

To add, for better accuracy of voltage reading, it is best to connect the meter directly onto the battery. The meter does not have to be ON all the time. Use a relay to control this.

Hiya, you might wanna check both Ah Boy and KS motors for stock GSR gear pedal. I got my brake pedal from Ah Boy at almost half the price of what Loois quoted me and KS also gave me a very competitive pricing.

 

Hmm, there are many choices of aftermarket handlebar. Rizoma, Protaper and Renthal, these are the more common ones with Rizoma being the most expensive out of the 3.

 

Rizoma can be obtained from Motoworld, I've seen Renthals at Unique too but not too sure where to get Protaper.

Good things dun come cheap and cheap things are rarely good. Haha.

 

Try go Motoworld and check out HJC. Dunno if promotion still on, 3 weeks ago i dropped by the kaki bukit branch, saw the HJC IS-Max Flip Up for $180.

If u got the moolah, take a look at the Shoei Multitec, $550. Hahaha.

 

Personally, i'm using AGV S4, costs me $380 from Regina.

U going helmet shopping? Can i tag along? hehehe. I like to look look see see all these accesories, i feel like a kid in a candy store,and at the same time can meet a fellow GSRean.

Really, that was some money you forked out for the AGV. I'm still attached to my IS-MAX which cost me $160 but seriously thinking of getting Caberg Konda, quite fickle, I must say. Oh, the Multitec don't worth its price, quite surprisingly though.

 

Anyway, jojo, you should really feel the difference between a Flip Up and Full Face and see which will suit your purpose. I chose Flip Up because of the flexibility it gives me (Mostly because I do not need to take off my helmet at security checks!).

It was a gift from my GF bro. She asked me what i wanted for my birthday. I said i wanted a new helmet to go along with my new ride.

 

I was attracted to the AGV S4 cos of its sleek sharp looks and it came with the internal sun-visor.

Had my GF not offered me a gift, i would have chosen the HJC IS-Max. Seems good value for money to me.

Agree on the flexibility of a Flip up. Much easier to put on/take off.

 

Jojo, if u using specs, i think better for you to use flip up. Using Full-face, you might need to take off your specs when putting on/taking off your helmet.

Yes, i think will get a flip up, as i am wearing spec, haha... Considering to get a HJC IS-Max. I checked their website, stated around $200, where did you get yours with $160?

By the way, where is motor world? Thinking should i go down on this coming sat...

[Lexanez]

Pretty cool, this sat? I could go down with you if you wish.

 

The main workshop is at Kaki Bukit Industrial Building while their boutique showroom is at Lavender. I usually go to the one at Kaki Bukit as it is quite near to the place I work at.

 

Haha, I got mine from a forumer at the start of this year, he was selling it almost brand new (only wore twice!) as it doesn't fit him. You could get a feel on my IS-MAX if you wish.

 

@mmkbad: Pretty much, I'm jealous because your GF got you such an expensive helmet!! Haha, cherish her yeah? I'm stuck with my IS-MAX prolly til it get spoilt!

He got his from Unique Motorsports. Check it out at their workshop for pricing!

[furious_88]

Was thinking of joining the gsr gang haha

[furious_88]

haha, thanks!

I got a used bike, 3 years old. ya, seems like a bit difficult to get a new one now. If u are interested to get a used one, you can try Loois, i think they still have around 2-3 on hand.

[Bone-Eticz]

Sure no problem, provided i am going down as might be not free tomorrow, need to settle something. Maybe you PM me your contact, i give you a call when i am heading there?

[jojo11]

O ya, i forgot to ask, how you guys normally hang your helmet on the bike? I just found out it might be scratching the body, any better way in hanging? How about season parking RFID and road tax, a fren given me a good suggestion where he put all these in a zip lock bag and store underneath his seat. I am trying to get more options before i decide what to do, haha...

 

Do i need to put P plate as i just got my 2A license, my fren said i do...

[Guest motofreak]

What i do is i just place the RFID under my seat in a ziplock. As for helmet, Just gotta be careful when u hang by the side. Alternatively u can just purchase a transparent sheet of sticker from Ivikarazi and place it where u hang it often to protect the paintwork

 

As for P plate. YAH IMPORTANT. Don't wanna get fined..

[furious_88]

Only 2B P plate need to put, as for class 2A/ 2 no need although you have just pass.

[testamant]

Can i know what is the function of this volt meter? to monitor the voltage and check the battery is working fine? why is it so important to know that?

 

Paiseh for asking stupid question, new to 2A, haha...

 

Volt meter can foretell you the symptoms of an alternator breakdown ,when it is not charging to your battery...unless you are still bringing down from ur house a big voltmeter to test the battery on every maintenance day..hehehe

 

Hi Bro,

3 bttls were the package-offered. I had half-bttl left from my previous purchased, so I ask them to top-up the balance required. I know, our bike needs at least 3-half bttle EO.

Regards to the shop-name....naaahh...I wont named or bad-mouth them. I'm happy with their service & I would still go to them for any minor service.

By-the-way...thanks for all replies...... much appreciated, guys.

 

Just put in 3.2 Litres bro,cause 3 litres isn't enuff....

 

Can i know where do you guys normally go for road trips? The engine seems very hot after i ride for around 20km, if we ride for around 120km/hour, how far can we go before stopping?

One more thing, how much does a voltmeter cost? I am thinking to get one.

By the way, just got my bike last night, hooray!!!

 

1) As for stopping periods,suzuki can handle long continuos rides without stopping,the engine is built for endurance that if it is properly maintained.!!! basicly it is the riders that needs resting after long rides. =)

2) Voltmeters can basically tell you whether your alternator is charging ur battery or whether it isn't , so buy one unless you always do a point check to the battery using the big old voltmeter.

 

haha, thanks!

Just went to Loois a few days back ,there is no more GSR ,alot of customers bought the beauties for Hari Raya =p

GSR made in Japan??

 

Mine is Japanese Manufactured,and let's not hope there is noone posts,claiming that theirs is made from china!!!hehehe

 

Only 2B P plate need to put, as for class 2A/ 2 no need although you have just pass.

 

Wow, Freak i didnt know that P plates are the "in" thing rite now.hehehe,dun worry furious he's just messing with ya.hehehe
