VocalNeal Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Installed sintered copper clutch shoes on the shopping bike. I used Lazada ones not Yuminashi. Copper is one step below carbon as I don't race.???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another was my wrong suspension set up. Usually once a day use those gripper exercise things mostly to keep my grip strong for the clutch lever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Termignoni's and ride without them in, it's a little loud but love the sound. I've read my DB killers can only be bought from Termignoni factory. Very expensive.

I've ordered another aftermarket Chinese one and a better size this time at 140 baht + 36 baht postage. Db Yoshi box ones for mine are about 1,500 and about 1,500 in postage charges. The box is too noisy without one I can't hear google GPS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still enjoy riding the older bikes, just got to be more careful, breaking distance and handling. Also be prepared for the occasional tank slap, if you're not experienced these can be lethal. Burapa bike week is back on here Chaiyapreuk, Pattaya, February, I can't wait. It's only a 10 minute ride from my house, I go 2 or 3 times a day, can't get enough. You see alot of these older bikes at the show. I'm in heaven, brings back so many memories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my bike it has nothing more on it than what a bike really needs. I'm in control I like that. Braking distance and handling are as good as any bike of today in experienced hands. This is my second Blade they never tank slap if they are set up right they shake there head a little bit under hard exceleration over 7000 revs that's because the front wheel is going light it's nothing to worry about and you don't always need to ride like that, they go around corners on rails. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 2014 Lifan-200 X-pect. 18.5Kkm. Bike running > than new. Noticed that the oi in the sight-tube was getting dark. Can't remember last change as paper label got blasted off by over-exuberant car-wash dude. So had shop put my liter of Amsoil [~300b] in her. Lubed chain, 4 pegs, and side-stand. Labor 40b; tip 100. The oil drained out didn't look too bad, but ... Gik take care papa long time. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, agree. Your bike is not that old, very advanced, these bikes were very powerful, great stability and braking. I was referring to the older CB's and Z's. I went for a ride on an old Z900 recently, lots and lots of fun but just the issues I mentioned earlier. My old CB500 would be a death trap, single front disk, drum rear, regular tank slaps at high speed etc. This post brings back a lot of memories, I remember a couple of mates of mine had the 750cc (triple) two stroke. I'm lucky that they weren't renting them on beach road in the late 90's, I'd be dead. ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridden most any bike from 60's onwards. The Panther was my first bike borrowed and rode many others BSA, Ariel, Norton, Velocett and Triumphs were what I owned until to my father's horror I came home with the best bike of the time the first Superbike Honda's CB750. That bike made me criticle of any other bike around at the time there was nothing like it. Edited July 28, 2022 by Kwasaki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 ’16 KTM Duke 200 Before covid, had the brainstorm to replace the flimsy stock engine fairing with an aluminum bash-plate bought online, not expensive. Had a good mech do the mod/mount. Required some engineering & machining. But became disenchanted. Looked weird; prolly less aerodynamic; cracked mounts. So yesty took stock parts to a local shop to have it returned to original config. Took some doing. Welding of broken bracket, &c. papa provided new Amsoil, and air & oil filters. Oil chain, check air f/r. B300 baht labor. B200 tip. 'Ready to Race. ’/// Anybody need a never-been-bashed bash-plate, DM. Otherwise will give to Thai lady to recycle. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides all the exercises and different hand position, and suggestions? The physiology: 1. Numbness means: cannot feel anything. 2. the sensation you referent to is 'paresthesia', characterized by pain & tingling. 3. Often caused by blood engorgement of the muscles in forearm, squashing nerves. 4. Impingement in the carpal tunnel sometimes. Raise the bars & aft. Prolly help some.
