sold my ninja 250se, use my kapcai daily work to office, once in a blue moon clean my own kapcai (live at condo, so wash bike myself is kind of hassle), and my chain easily loose, isit time to change a new one?

Ya I was surprised too. Caprimoto uses DHL, derang ni skema sikit. So I had to fill up the borang kastam and it does specify brake pads as safety items.

Nasib la.

I bought 4 pairs, enough to last me a good while when I eventually get them.

The Daytona VX Golds in the front are fukkin spongy although my brakes hv already been bled & refilled with fresh DOT4 fluid. The difference between the stock Brembo sintered pads and these semi-metallic ones are like night & day.

I'll bleed them again in a few weeks' time.

Update:

Had to cough up almost RM400 extra for the import tax, customs clearance process and stupid bonded warehousing charges plus taxes for both charges. Fuck me, it totally defeats the purpose of the purchase.

Fuel blinking, far from home, stop by petronas, open flap n saw a tonne of white powder...same kind on older wet cell battery terminals...tough time putting in the key..once in couldnt turn....sigh.

Managed to open n fuel up after purchasing multi purpose cleaner.

Got home, picked up my wd40 n sprayed the fuck out of the key barrel..n more.of this shit came out...n i mean sprayed a tonne of wd40 til my rag was actually drenched yet this stupid powder still kept coming out. Spray sampai puas hati.

Leaving it to dry...gonna send to bike wash tomorrow if i have time....then more wd40...then let dry again...then only will put some lube into the barrel.

I really hate kawasaki key barrels...annoyingly the one exposed to crap the most, the one we rarely use, the seat key, is the one that never gives problems on both my bikes.

no idea... maybe its sulfur build up for whatever reason. this happened on my versys.... spoke to a friend who also has a versys and he says normal.

this powder thing never happened on my z900 though.
to the brim... n mebbe more... not sure if it touches... but maybe it does... but like i said above.. this happened to my v1k n not my z9... both same fill up habits.

Interesting, thanks for the link, though mine isnt as bad as the pic there...mine is just outside n in the key barrel....for now, n since my friend said normal, ill just have to be more diligent in cleaning n lubing the barrel.

Mention ethanol in the link....wonder if the PTT gasohol 95 had anything to do with it hahaha

unless you leave the gasohol for 1 month inside the tank, I doubt it came from Thai Petrol.. first think the ethanol will eat your fuel line and all the rubber seals of your fuel pump.

That's quite common no?

Even the tank lock on the pulsars and dominar gets seized up if you are lax on keeping it cleaned and lubed up.

I got stuck at a fuel station once because I couldnt get the bloody tank open. Fortunately I had enough gas to get home. Soaked with with WD40 overnight. Then everything is working as it should.

For context, my v1k is a 2013 bike

Also this key barrel thing also happens to ignition barrel. But the seat barrel...which is more exposed to crap never gives a problem

Bought China DB killer from Shopee, it pop out  when revving the bike



Finally notice my exhaust system might be a real akra



key wont't open at petrol station, bring back home and spray silicone lube

failed to open tank

had to bring the bike to nearby shop, after 5 minute of spraying WD40 mechani manage to open the tank 

How do you read the exhaust code?

the welding joint is very clean that's why i think is ori akra

or exhaust from shopee is become good?

are you guys able to differentiate copy and ori exhausts based on the sounds?

they sound similar to me and I doubt performance wise would be any different... its just a steel pipe right?

get it and forget about chain cleaning
but that dirt will go to your wheel
my rims are black so couldn't care less
i use silicone spray to keep the clip from rusting and seals in mint condition

yes. usd don't have clip? what's holding the oil seals in place?  sorry not familiar

great. and i thought silicone is safe for plastic and rubber
changed my fork oil mid last year. so far no leaks yet. old seal. ori kawa
got china seals and dust cover standby
