How abt DIY wash and tune carb??

[xiaowang]

Will any Lao Jiao assist me in seeing & testing a used 93 bandit? A bit confused. Just trying my luck. Thanks anyway. It's in pretty bad shape in terms of appearances. However engine sounds and when tested, is robust & solid. Tyres new, chain new, 5mths old starter motor. Mileage:70000. Do u think it is a good bike?

i should be ok...need to change new plugs but no tools

[S750WP]

Change my clutch sleeve hub at Guan Hoe yesterday. Total damage not include EO and hub is $38++. Workmanship $20, gasket $16, gst $2++.

 

Notice Mr Han adjust the clutch release push rod further in, I have tried adjusting myself but the nut was stuck. The effect of adj is to have a wider clearance between the metal plate and friction plate.

 

Gear shifting is slightly better than before.

Actally my bike is only due for servicing on Dec. Things I will be doing will be

 

Change engine oil and oil filter

Wash air filter

Change spark plugs

Clean and syn carbs

Bleed the brakes

Flush radiator and change coolant

 

That will be a good time to show you guys the general servicing you can DIY. All the above work will take approx 1 day.

I sill have one last dose of waterwetter to go. The waterwetter also very good except its more pricier than maxima coolaide.

[jkaiser]

ok i just changed my oil and air filter @ planet yest..bought Royal Purple Maxcycle 20W50 for 16 bucks per quart (~900ml) and used some cheong brand oil filter...ah cheong didnt seem to have genuine suzuki parts..not my oil filter @ least... ah cheong in his typical talk c*** fashion..said i would be back soon to change clutch plates, cos RP oil caused some problems for some bikes..but no issue for me so far...

 

tues went to racewerks flushed coolant.. put maxima instead..guy said my old pipes may not tahan waterwetter as he had cases where waterwetter caused old pipes to give way...true or baloney...i dunno... but yea... since both are well-rated products..i took his advice... he told me my pipes old liaoz...if change..prep ard 200+ incl workmanship

 

next-up servicing... spark plugs..i wanted to change yest, but i tot wait for u ppl to diy...

 

annual servicing... all last done apr-may 2004

carb wash/tune?

brake bleeding

air filter cleaning/changing

[boofeng]

have to bring along spare parts, like air and oil filter element and spark plugs right, if changing? where're good places to buy such stuff ah? and can someone look at and update this checklist of parts we're likely to have to bring?

 

1. sparkplugs x 4 (NGK CR8EK/CR9EK, ND U24ETR/U27ETR)

2. air filer element

3. oil filter element

4. engine oil

5. coolant

6. any more?

 

btw, i have 3 litres of extra Maxima EO, Maxum Extra 15W50 (edit: the semi-synth one both are fully synthetic, i meant i was going to get the Maxum Ultra but heard the molybdenum screws up wet clutches, and motoX also recommended Extra for bandit). if anyone wants to try this stuff, i can bring it along

 

shawn: hey, i don't even know if my coolant is up for a change, but if it is, would like to try the maxima cool aide you have. will gladly pay for what i use of course

[rAjOaNa]

VV is more responsive and powerband should be better than P model because of the variable valve which is similar to Honda Vtec.

 

You can find both bikes from private seller, garage sale, or from motorbike shop.

thx for info. anyone knows any webby to read up on it?? can't seem to find.
