I guess he has been told his bike will go quicker, anything to make a quick buck.

    See this link, it may help Dan's Motorcycle "Pistons, Cylinders & Rings"
    Im sorry stefan . but i dont understand how the CC of engine will increase , could you elaborate?

    Thanks for the info bro , yes thats true, he was talking about increase in Horse Power and also better performance of engine when you double up with chrome coating with synthetic oil .

    Thanks for the link. it did help

        i've gone thru two pairs in the past year... the rubber seems to go flaccid.


        it's bloody annoying... the things just keep falling off.

        pretty embarrassing too... when someone points that it's popped out.


        and yes... incase u're wondering... the indicators were fit properly.
        ???

          Yeah all these things should be checked at SVC, give them a piece of your mind and get it rectified.

          Well not faced any problem with the front indicator at all. But I chaged the front indicators with the rear one i.e. I had a pair pf rear indicators lying with me so I had put that as it comes with flexi rubber and doesnt break easily. So try it and check

                Xionite,

                Yeah, my Front indicators have been replaced twice, due to parking in tight spots and when the person on the side takes his bike out, other on similar occassions. Once, the inner rubber cracked. So had to replace. The 2nd and third time, they just popped out and were dangling, and they were fit in back thereafter.
                PS: My RHS Rear View Mirror was stolen in a span of 20 Mins. I don't see that day far away when my RHS/LHS Panel would be stolen too.

                  Usually, people using their bike on highways/ touring will have their brake pads last longer than those using it within the city (Less braking vs. More braking).
                  That makes more sense now.

                  As far as the quality of the thread is concerned, don't be so critical, bear with us noobs who sometimes ask stupid questions, but we are eager to learn and will catch up soon

                            Tell us you will give us the opportunity to buy the LED strip/ LED indicators from you.

                            Nice to know that it makes sense mow.

                            I have nothing against new members, or people with less knowledge. Heck, everyone is learning here.
                            My only grouse is that people come & ask questions that have already been answered, and for which they could have simply used the search feature.
                            The other (& more annoying) thing is people using the thread as a chat room.
                            For heaven's sake, xBhp has provided PM (Private Message) & VM (Visitor Message) for those one-on-one conversations. Get my point?

                            The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                                They are giving me proper and good light in day time too.. It is just I'm unable to crack open the cap which is attached to reflector. I was able to open it in one case but rest 3 are not opening up. Tried 6 x 3 Mins of oven too but in vain.
