Hopefully its not from the water pump seal.

[cruisecontrol27]

Alright. Thank you. i'll go get it check.

[cruisecontrol27]

Btw, can anyone enlighten me regarding the repair cost for radiator hose or water pump seal? Is there a specific size for Steed's radiator hose or can use Super4's hose or any similar bike?

[defected]

Radiator hoses are bike specific. I'm not sure about the cost the entire cooling system was replaced as part of my restoration project. Maybe other bros here can help?

[cruisecontrol27]

Just to update on the leakage, sometimes there is no leakage at all. More frequent after a long ride.

[Sprint74]

Change tt hose only la. Hehehe

[cruisecontrol27]

Hi guys. Just updating on that leakage. The leak was actually from the stator grommet. The grommet is breaking up due to wear and tear. Just ordered the parts from overseas and decided to get new gaskets too cause it is much cheaper than getting it in Sg.

Hello colleagues

This my first post in the forum and I'm sorry if it's a wrong place.

 

I am looking for a stock turn signal indicator for VLS: I got the bike with one indicator cracked. Is there any shop on the East where I can try to find it?

[ethanotch]

get second hand ones. First motor might have. the boss quite friendly. I got some parts from them previously.

[ezr7171]

Thanks, mate!

As far as I see all I ever need should be somewhere in that Ubi Ave 3 shops cluster ))))

 

I'd also like to buy a stock VLS exhaust (in the best condition only), hopefully they may advise.

[ethanotch]

hahha. beli expensive

[ezr7171]

Hahaha, we'll see )) Will keep the community posted on the progress.

 

So far: got rid of the pilion stuff, now ride solo.

Struggling to buy a spanner wrench to adjust the rear shock preloader. It is currently set to "2", almost the stiffest one. I don't mind the short shock travel but it keeps the bike's tail high... I want it lower )) So want to release the preload ring to a higher setting but I need that stupid spanner wrench.

Go shop pay abit lah hehehe.

 

Btw, nice bike

Nice ride thr EZR, I'm also springer owner riding solo too, awesome bike indeed! Maybe can arrange kopi session in the evening to discuss some mods hahaha

[Sprint74]

If u guys interested i can try get the rear shock lowering kit for u. Thot of getting it myself. Lowers the rear by abt 1-1.5".

But ull need to remove the shock, remove the link and spring, then assemble the shock and install back onto ur bikes. Fortunately i have the tools to do the mod but it'll take time if u all don't mind.

[69er]

Lowered mine but did not use any lowering kit

[Sprint74]

Must've softened the spring adjuster. Be careful not to bottom out.

[69er]

Nope, replaced w another bike's absorber, serving well for d last few yrs 👍

[ezr7171]

Oooooo, have been out of town for a while and now see some life here )))

It is great to know we still have a few springers here in SG!

 

Sprint74, thank you for the offer. I think I will try to release the pre-load ring first and see if the bike gets any lower after that. Damn, if I only had that stupid wrench... It is nearly impossible to reach this adjustment collar with other tools: it is completely covered with pipes/wires and plastic covers. Some people use a long screwdriver and a hammer but i don't like such a brutality ))))

I have a shock wrench. Give me a PM if you still haven't sorted out yours. Mine's set at position 3 viewed from the left and side panel removed. Perfect for 1 up riding with a pair of Givi E21s and a raincoat. I'm weighing 70ish kgs and it hardly bottoms out. But individual preferences varies.

Changing the preload does not change the shock length if your intention is to lower the ride height in my opinion. But always give it a try. You'll never know...

[ezr7171]

defected, you're right, the shock won't get shorter. Correct me if i'm wrong, but, to my understanding, the stock preload ring reduces the shock travel by shifting it to its top position preventing "bottoming-out". So, if we release the preload we extend the shock travel and effectively allow the bike go lower when loaded.

 

Yeah!! Thanks for the wrench!! Will PM you )
