Good stuff mate! You'll be tearing up the streets in sng in no time!! :lol:

Incidently, a mate of mine is heading up to sng for a 30th birthday of a mate of his ... so I did the only decent thing and told him to make sure and check out orchard towers :lol:

Need pics with the new wheels btw 8) :D

Colloquially known in singapore as "three floors or whores" :lol:

It's definately worth a look though ... just don't talk to the 'ladies' down the bottom with the husky voices! :shock: :booty:

[rookie517]

Is this the xr400?
With mine I put a 440 kit in it and the thing ripped :twisted:

[rookie517]

yup, xr400

do ya xr440 leaks any oil??

i got a few mates who done the 440 here in sg but doesn't really last, will always leak oil from the engine block

do ya know why is this so? bad workmanship??
:?:

i was thinking to do it, but my mate seriously make me give up the idea...
:cry:

[Muzzard]

Where abouts does the oil weep from?

[jakestein]

No oil leak just heaps of low down grunt and the need for an extreme re-gear completly new bike :)
I had a new timing chain and I tell you now make sure you look after the kick starter mine snapped after 2-3 months with the big bore it was really stressed with the extra compression probaly a 1 in 10 thing tho.

[rookie517]

Where abouts does the oil weep from?

i think from the top and bottom gasket area

:?:

[rookie517]

shit...

the spokes which i bought from the shop was not long enough to lace..


:cry:

make me wait for 1 week ... :evil:

[Muzzard]

What model XR 400 you have there Rook, I got a set of oversized front and rear spokes in stainless for Honda XR/17" conversion.
They are stainless steel and the best you can buy. Are your wheels 36 hole front and 32 hole rear?
Might be able to help you, post would be quicker than the bike shop

[rookie517]

yup, it is 36 front and 32 rear

i have already paid for the pair of spokes
and now waiting for replacement

if they still let me wait, i will demand a refund
and perhap, get from you...

:(

[Muzzard]

No Problem there Rook, Cheers and hope they get it right for you this time! :)

[rookie517]

hey muzzard, pls PM me the quotes for the front sm spokes set and the freight charges, that shop is still delaying my parts...

i told him i will backcharge the bill to him, let me know, thanks.

[Muzzard]

Rook, Sold the front set early this week, still have rear set...

[rookie517]

oppss

[Muzzard]

I'm real sorry to have let you down Rook, I figured you would have had your spokes in by now... :oops:

[rookie517]

no worry mate, guess i will continue to kick that shop's ass :lol:

[rookie517]

finally, that guy said the stuff is in

hopefully he got the right parts in this time now

wish me luck!! :D

[Muzzard]

Wishing, Wishing, Wishing, :D
