The Switch in between the speedo n Tacho metre looks very natural

 

i think u can try to stack another one on top of tht switch??

[rAjOaNa]

Btw the speedo metre blubs are they the same size as 2B bikes such as RXZ?

thinking of changing mine to the so called white colour ones.

Now recovering from injury , after i will wanna fix my wheel bearing, jet needles, Carb floats.

 

Issit true tat i can get Denso Sparkplug U24ETR @ FJT for $4 !??Coz CR8EK from LAB is $7 per piece..

 

Bandit 1 time Engine oil change is how many ml ? 2300ml or 2800ml w/o oil filter

Front wheel>>2 berrings

Rear Wheel>>>3 berrings.

Actually,wher i went to K.S the other time to get oil filter,the apek told me the berring cost $6/pc.Then wen i came a week later,another apek told me it's $7/pc..Lan2 i got two pcs.

I dont think the switches are waterproof, but they are still working fine, after a few showers.

 

Wait got $$ then go Seng Kwang to repair the yoshi and high mount it like hornet.

I painted the frame myself with kangaroo paint and a very fine paint brush. Took 2 days to paint. The belly pan can be easily removed, as it secured by 3 screws only, no need to remove belly pan to change oil filter.

P model bandit FK to FM plate 1992 to 1995

 

VV model bandit FN to FP plate 1996 to 1997

 

Things to check when buying a used bike

1. Check for adnormal engine noise

2. Check for adnormal clutch noise

3. Check for alighment, handle bar and wheel

4. Check for oil leaks, fork & engine

5. Check if sprocket and chain are worn

6. Check if tires are bald

7. Check all the electricals are working properly

8. Check if steering cone is worn

9. Check if brake disc are warped

[rAjOaNa]

Guys engine oil normally wat u all use ah?

10-40?

15-40?

 

i currently using? 20-50

 

can use 20-60?

 

any comments?

[Shawn--]

i think 20-60 is too think already. For old bike n old engine like us... use 15-40 is good enuff. Currently using fuchs pro4.( $14 per bottle )smooth. Others recommend motul 300v. Also 15-40. tat 1 also

i see cos now i using 20-50. Castrol Mineral oil. Last time i service no $$ to change to synthetic or even semi la. Now i clocked abt 2000Km already so i think better change la. this time i think change semi sythetic.

 

i think 20-50 too thick also. Cos cold engine change gear like not smooth like tht. only riding e'way for at least 20mins then smooth. But cool down again...aft coming out from e'way then not smooth again.

 

During the malacca trip all the way was smooth la. cos riding fast all the way.

[kata_killer]

I only use fuchs semi syn engine oil for d last 6mths. I have tried a couple of brand such as castrol, Motul but still dun work out well.

[rAjOaNa]

My Mech say he ordered Rock Oil not sure its semi or full sythetic...but its 20-60

According to my mech. It will give both protection n power...see how la.

[S750WP]

I tried castrol R4, Elf, Fuchs Pro 4 and Motul 5100 but still find Repsol is the best.

 

20w60 is too thick for our bike. For our weather here, dun bother about the first number eg 10w or 15w look at the second number which represent the viscosity(how thick is the oil). The greater the number the higher the viscosity. For local use 40 or 50 is ok.

i was standing next to his bike for about 10min thinking waiting for the guy to turn up... then i went to meet my friend at the mrt station cos we were going to work... then give him a lift.. came back and stood at the bike for damn long thinking whether to off it and take out the key to put in the helmet or just heck it and leave it there... think think think then wait... then ah heck... off signal light, off engine, lock handlebar, pull out key, put in helmet...

 

waited to see if the person was somewhere around... maybe he warming up engine right? then waited to see if anyone shout OEI! but don have... so i left... almost late for work thanks to the joker.....
