These happend a few weeks ago and I only got it done last week.
Since the last servicing on the oil pan, I never tot I would see EO leaking at the bottom so soon. I spent the past 2 weeks trying to figure out where the leak came from. I was glad the leak didnt came from the same place as the last time.

Alex removed my left faring and cleaned the bottom before asking me to ride around without my fairing on so we could monitor the leak more conveniently. I road about 5 km, spotted a minor leak somewhere and went back to Alex, both of us didnt find the source of the leak and I had to get back to work.

The very next day I went to Bike123 to check, Kenny said he was very sure its from the Water Pump and he point to me beads of EO appearing from it. I was kinda shock when I saw it. To make sure, we cleaned it and rode with 1 side less fairing, when I returned, the EO leak appeared from directly below the water pump, problem rectified.

The very next day, went back to Factor to replace the pump seals since it was super near my work place, I could get my colleague to sent me out to collect my bike too.....
2 days later, I check for leaks again, dry as "hungry hippo"

1 less thing to worry before my Hatyai bike week.......................

Will be getting the pics up on the seals....

FD ROD

Seeing 2 people using this magic rod and without a proper name, I named it after the creater/maker. FD Rod. I wont mention his name coz he looks as if he want to be low profile. But most should have guessed who he is.

This magic FD rod replaces a jack, could lift the rear wheel in 2-3 simple steps. It could be use for lubbing the chain and servicing puncture. Its useful in everyway u could think of and it could be placed under the seat.

Finding this rod extreme useful, I decide to do a MO for this, so if anyone wants it, could contact me via SBF.


Pics tells a thousand tale.

Hatyai Bike week postponed.

Hatyai bike week had postponed from june to july 4th-5th.
Jean was disappointed at first but she was ok after that. I only tot my leave was a little waste but at least I could stay back to attend classes and take my test.

My babe is getting naughty again, she started leaking some EO but this time is not around the bottom. I'm monitoring it coz I guess a 5 yr bike should be having some harden seal here n there.
Wont be doing anything to my bike for the time being coz of studies, renovation and preparations for my wedding is draining me off here n there.

Now I only awaits the second trip to Hatyai, but this time with Jean being her first.

Thats all folks.....
