what mean

full throttle doesnt means u were hitting rev limit.....

rev limit on ex5 was 13k rpm...while at topspeed of 110km/h on ex5 speedo only around 9k-10k rpm....

If that's the case, my EX5 will never reach rev limit because had never successfully pass 110. But lets come back to these big bike. Currently I only heard of Kawa with exploded engine, is there other bike like Yama/Honda/ Suzi with exploded engine as well??

not sure other bike...maybe got some cases but not as many as kawa...since u can see er6,versys,z series plenty on the road..means more of them compared to other bikes....


but eye view saw the engine casing was thinner than i expect it should be...

LIKE!

This kind of blown case very common in the 4 wheels arena. So many smarty pants went and remove the rev cut, advance timing, run so lean for super throttle response and boooooooossssttttt higher without taking into consideration that it is an engine ecosystem that they are messing with. There are so many other factors to consider as well - but what we hear is only on the surface.

If the big bike is use for weekend ride only, what type of precaution or care should be taken? Do we need to take out the battery? My bike is kind of difficult to start after sitting for a week. Need to press 2 times. Usually only press 1 time and it is alive. And is it better to leave a full tank or almost empty tank if store for a week without riding it?

just warm-up the engine every 2-3days

Personally, I have never had issues firing up my bikes even if the last ride took place a month ago. And I always have the habit to fill up the tank full or 3/4. Reason being is that I just like to jump on the bike, fire it up and start rolling to my destination and do not want to worry about stopping for gas.

Unless you are going to be away for months, then it is best to disconnect the batteries.

Only time I had issues firing up the bike in early morning was with my Z1000, where I itchy backside went with a Power Commander and then things were behaving very consistent such like had to fire the bike couple of times, F1 light keeps coming out, quickshifter missing it shifts and etc etc. All this was sorted out easily after I revert to the workshop.

guys any idea on this?? brake oil or fork oil? pls help up

see which part is wet lor. the brake caliper or the bottom of the fork

but i dont spot any leakage .....new bike abt 4.4k millege only zzz

then check the bleed nipple for the caliper. might have not been tightened properly.

u mean the screw of the caliper? if yes tmw will check out

the one with the rubber cap is the bleed nipple

ok thanks bro lucifah hehe will check it out

If brake oil must wash it away as soon as possible from painted surface. Else the paint will come out. Happen to my car when some brake oil accidentally drip on my engine cover, the paint just came out...

Huh, I did not realize there's another thread for big bikes here.


Is that a Z800? If it is, check your forks. I remember reading in the Z8 facebook group there was an issue with leaking forks.

Yeah bro is a z800 hw to check whether my fork is leaking ?..?

What's the effect of a leaking fork?

Lose damping ability. If I recall correctly, the rebound would be low.
