Process of elimination. I would remove the aux lights from the circuit and see if this is a contributor. Sound like some connector isn't connected properly and would need some time for the temperature to rise before starting to act crazy. I would check all the connectors, including the...

I had to use the white plumber's tape on the drain bolt after it was leaking (very little but always wet). 3rd time re-using the washer. Good thing is that with the radiator cap shut tight, not much coolant flowed out when the drain bolt was removed. So it was easy to wrap the bolt with the...

Mine melted as well on the left side. Since I have no access to a recall claim, there were just 2 options for me: 1. Use LED bulbs as the temperature at the connector pin is much much lower vs halogen. (I am using this now) 2. If u want continue using Halogen bulbs, get the Ceramic Connectors...

I replaced the originals with Pozidriv since I have access to them, and the right size bit.

I have a Metzeler Tourance Rear that is now seen a Metzeler Tourance Front (12k km) and a Bridgestone A41 Front (10k and counting but wearing out fast) and it still has maybe another 5k of life in it. Mostly communting on city and suburb roads. I do notice if I were cruising on highways, the...

OK an update to the rear pedal/ABS issue. After 6 months, of having no issues, I had on 1 occasion did not ride the bike for 10 days, and the pedal got a little stuck but recovers and throws a ABS check light. I then did a 10X cycling and bleeding for the rear and about 3X for the front. So...

Yes but the loosened is very little. If the pressure is insufficiently felt by the pressure sensor in the ABS system, it won't do the cycling.

I think it works by improving the 'wetting' at the surface making it more effective as more surface area is somewhat 'connected' to remove more heat from the blocks and release more heat at the radiator. I can predict that as a result of this, depending on the scenarios: (Temps measured at...

It's hard to judge for MoCool since I have never tried without MoCool to have a good comparison.

I would keep this seal as a spare. Clutch slave has been known to fail after more than 10 years in use. Amazing thing is the cost is very low. One of my S10 friend had a clutch failure and manage to find a replacement seal off a automotive spare parts shop. Here's the rubber seal for the...

Update: The sticky valve showed it self after a while of not riding the bike (< 10 days). Further cycling about 18X with each cycle followed with a stroke of the pedal to bleed out the fluids, and so far so good, even after 1 week of not riding the bike. I believe the best way to cycle and...

An update 28-April-2023 Method A: For every Cycling, pump the pedal 2X to 3X to evacuate the fluids from the valves. Method B: Fluid saver. For every 5X Cycling, pump the pedal 3X. Spread out as follows: 1. 10X Cycling (Method A) - When test riding, pedal is hard. Have to stop the bike and use...

Reviving the Rear ABS circuit. An Update: Method A: For every Cycling, pump the pedal 2X to 3X to evacuate the fluids from the valves. Method B: Fluid saver. For every 5X Cycling, pump the pedal 3X. Spread out as follows: 1. 10X Cycling (Method A) - When test riding, pedal is hard. Have to...

No. Nothing wrong with the part.

An Update: So far I have done: 1. 10X Cycling 2. 10X Cycling (after 1st cycle, rear brake is hard) 3. 7X Cycling (after 1st cycle, rear brake is hard) Went for a ride after about 10 days since the last Cycling. Morning, rear brake pedal is stuck hard but was kind of easy to overcome, whereby...
