yes, thats normal. You have to adjust it properly.

and most people dont adjust the clutch and brake levers correctly also, having them way too high. its a safety and fatigue issue that many still dont realise.

On my 800NK, the stock mirrors are completely useless when I had adjusted the levers to the correct position. All i see is sky, as the mirrors dont have enough downward tilt. Funny this got past CFMOTO in the first place.

As I had my cat out to test the de-cat pipe, itchy fingers compelled me to clean it up. Polished just one side to show the b4 and after.

Wet sand 300 - 600 - 1200 - 2000 sand paper, then buff with autosol. The better your sanding job, the easier to buff to mirror finish.

1 year + of dirt and oxidation

Going to finish up the other side then do an overall buff again to bring out the shine.



Done on my headers a while back. All it takes is a quick ride and it gets its nice light bronze colour back

After the polish, it's much easier to keep the headers in good condition as dirt don't stick to it well. For me, it's about 3 months between refresher polish. And this is a daily bike ridden in all weather.

sale?

yup...sale...

keeping just one, or eyeing another bike?

sell v1k..... buy v11

v11 arrive... sell z9

thats the plan for now

what made you want to move to the versys 1100?
theres not much difference in term of engine power no?

About 15hp more i think....along with other changes.

The v1k peanut was always meant to be a test bike to see if i could enjoy a bike like a versys coz i cant tour on the z9 anymore as its quite a painful experience nowadays n also my knee hurt like crazy.

The plans was always try out the peanut a year or 2...n if good n i can jive with it n enjoy it.... sell both n buy a brand new v1k....but now that the v11 is out...go for that la.

Z9 still wins in fun factor though.

ah your current versys is the old gen one.. makes sense then

friends recommended the caltex techron fuel system cleaner.


i bought the car version since it's on sale and used it 4 times. there's one for bike and it's 75ml, the one for cars is 355ml.
before this was using the cheap STP and liqui moly cleaner that i share with my car.

how much for the triumph original filters? i've been using putoline HF204 since forever

long weekend nothing better to do.
so open the bike (again) to change the timing chain.
mentioned here that i checked the timing chain at tension and it's nearly at its service life.



bought new timing chain from fowlers parts UK for RM500.
shipping is RM50. sharing some spare parts with friends who ordered chain strip.

triumph thailand quoted RM660 for the timing chain. so a bit cheaper from UK.

checked the new NGK iridium IX plugs that i installed previously.
a few thousand km and looks great.


i'm getting good at disassembling the bike haha.
can open all the panels and tank and air filter and get to the cam cover within 30 minutes.

does this fuel system cleaner really work?
when to know if your bike need it or not?

also whats your bike mileage now that you are changing the timing chain?

maybe, maybe not

I've seen some vids on people taking out the fuel injector and clean it.
But it also makes sense to just pour into the fuel tank and let it clean itself...

want to add those china fancy round lights to my moped...area kl mana workshop murah

actual injector cleaning is different to pour in tank method.

bench cleaning the injector via ultrasonic bath and changing the filter basket.
great for injector(s), but your valves/combustion chamber are untouched.
but if you ride agressively once a while, your engine can self remove those deposits.

pour in, you're cleaning the fuel system or anything that fuel touches.
works well if the considering the brand used and combine with agressive riding.

Another prep for sale for the versys

Removed the Shad SH58X top box and replaced with 45L alu look abs top box. Build quality not bad for this one and it latches on the outside to the baseplate unlike alot other abs ones that screws in from the inside of the box

Before


After

After months of trying to figure whats making crazy vibration at the footpegs.
It reveals itself, a crack at the exhaust manifold.
And remove the secondary cats at the same time.

what bike? that looks like a big single cylinder, ktm 690?
