Cone Bearing Problem / Stiff handling

My handle was very stiff. It feel like an old bike. It lock the handle bar in the middle and manoeuvring at low speed was really a problem, especially in a traffic jam where you will need to zig-zag between cars and other vehicles. No choice but to get the mechanic to help.

To my surprise, he said the cone bearing (bottom portion) was damaged. The solution, change it with a new one.

So, I did. But, my god, it was expensive. Parts complete with installation was at RM150. After replacement, vroommmm....... the GTR is in good shape again.

Engine Died During High Speed Riding - continue

I was at NAZA agent yesterday. I mentioned about the problem that I had at high speed. According to the mechanic, they had already solve the problem.

There is a fuel pump to regulate the fuel. This fuel pump is too small to cater for proper fuel distribution during high speed riding. That is why I had the temporary engine problem.

The solution, by pass the fuel pump. According to the mechanic also, the original CPI model do not have fuel pump/fuel regulator.

Those owners of GTR out there, give it a try. I will do it soon.
