Hear from a friend riding BMW bike cost abt 30k plus, kana stunt

in malaysia, insurance co. only put 8K on the table, ask him

to take it or leave it. He is on first party. Can anyone explain

that. No further details on the insurance co or the premium

he paid!

 

Heard S4 is paticular hot in JB, maybe amature got lucky with

screw driver trick. They juz release handle bar lock n push it away!

for s4...they juz need to insert a scredriver in and hit wif something hard to force start the engine...guess tt time the thief of my s4 wasnt so skilled in stealing mine...heard from my mech every 10mins, 1 bike is stolen in jb...scary...

Don't forget to service carburettor as well. Unless your bike is the fuel injected type.

Don't think so. Still can service without PC. However, if got PC, better still.

the vibrations will be there.. i'm not sure why oso... i did change to motvation balancers which are heavier and they work... did help to absorb most of the vibrations... now i'm jus left with the grips.. currently on the super thin Playlife's one... now considering if shld change to the not so nice BMW grip or the nicer Harris ones...

For mine the vibration is reduce by replacing the hander bar balancer to the heavier one. The balancer cost me about S$40.

 

There are few factors that I think can course vibration at hander bar:

 

1. Tyre uneven wear or aged tyre.

2. Tyre pressure.

3. Wheel balacing for front tyre.

4. If front tyre uneven wear badly, then front fork servicing need to be carried out before tyre replacment.

 

As for your case I assume you only feel vibration at 80Km/h, any speed below/above 80Km/h the vibration is very less. I think you can check your tyre wear pattern to see any uneven wear or not , if the tyre wear is normal than may be you can try reduce reduce /increase the tyre pressure see whether can reduce vibration rate or not.

 

By the way balancer is consider not a very expensive item to add on, is good to have item.

LAB have heavy balancer cost abt $35 quite effetive

to solve vib problems.

I presume that PC maintenance that you mentioned, mean connect the PC to your bike ECU to access the engine management system.

 

Normally mechanic will hook up and hand held monitor to the bike ECU to see the air fuel mixture whether is accurate or not, from the reading show at the hand held monitor mechanic will get information such as the thermal sensor, throttle angle sensor, crank sensor, knock sensor etc... From these sensor info mechanic will determine whether your bike got problem or not.

 

With PGM-FI equip, normally we no need to hook up PC to ECU so often, bcos every time when you turn your ignition on, the ECU will do a quick check for the entire system, and if one of the sencor feedback signal is out of tolerence, the FI at your Speedo panel will blink. The total of number of FI blinking will tell you which engine fault is active.

 

The hand held monitor is not cheep, so not many bike shop will have this facility. I wud say if your FI light not showing any fault massage then PC checking is not necessary.

 

I wud say normal servicing like engine oil change, oil filter change, and clean air filter will do.

Wah, emmitsu explained it clearly and so detailed for me. Had I explain it, I would have just said that PC is able to access the readings on your bike and make it perform better. Emmitsu explanation is more .
