collected mix coloured coverset parts for diy respray to 888 green.

full set ori coverset, will cost frm rm500 upwards, cos someone claimed that vietnam ppl willing to buy @ over rm1k..

still can buy new non ori coverset @ rm140 frm hld.

to get back rgs look, the speedometer cover surface have to be smooth, front mudgard without indent, not the same as rgv.

colour is tht 888 rg green tht majority is going after..

very hard to get complete set, oe part, runner if get n resell, it will be at least rm500 and there will be ppl willing to buy..

for new 3rd party coverset still can get HLD (honlid) for rm145 liddat..
but.. it is not old rg style... and the 888 green doesnt look like the ori colour.

This label is ori set right? Not HLD one. Unless the HLD one also comes with this sticker/label.

I think I have the RG 888 body and leg panels waiting to put on. My current one lately more and more mounting holes starting to break, especially the two holding tail lamp ones. Front white kepuk also almost break. Other covers are bought pieces with different colors. Ori headlamp, signal set also not cheap. RGV one cheaper. Used to have RGV blocks, sold them and sendiri use RG block. Is my daily bike now.

not hld of cos

for rg, the coverset fastening design is poor, to save cost. buy ori oso no better, if still using the bike daily.

the ori white kepuk for rg is still being produced, a pair is rm3x liddat, order frm ben chin.

I can't recall what happened. I had to hold its weight in a hurry, and it went sideways.

Right now, if I think back, it just doesn't make sense, because when double stand up, the front is heavier. Even with the mono removed, it should not change... I might also be doing something else at the time, while trying to install my airbox.

Anyhow, proceed carefully. Are you removing airbox for good? I put mine in, and haven't need to service the carb for so many years. Able to maintain 180km per tank all the while now for city riding.

now the carb is not connected to the box,
i wana take it out clean it n connect it back to the carb, so i can seal off the vent when not in use.

the local made hose joint from airbox to carb always shrink and harden, until cannot fit the carb. I think I finally got one that doesn't.
what vent do you plan to seal off when not in use? the airbox intake?

the ori hose joint still available frm susuki for rm8.30

yes airbox intake to prevent dust frm goin in.

i think the bike is tuned wot with open carb.
but currently @ wot i think is lacking petrol. cos the extra petrol filter is kinda dirty, cos rusty tank.

If you store bike, better fill the tank full. In my experience, half tank or low level petrol gets saturated with moisture very quickly, and the petrol will smell funny, then the tank rusts...

not my bike..

update: 88k and cheap out on 2t oil, now rod makan. Need overhaul.

still daily meh?

ya, daily, but very short distance.
sometimes go far a bit, maybe 80~100km on rare occasions.

that day one car pintas in front of me, I dropped gear and overrev a bit too much. I think that really did the most damage and it just went downhill afterwards.
Another TZM was neglected for overdue ring/top end service, overrev into a corner and finally blew it. Had to tow back.

After faithfully serving me for 28 years of daily use, I'm finally retiring my 1997 Suzuki RU 110 and will be overhauling the engine and restoring it. Anyone got a copy of the parts catalogue?

NVM, got it here:
