[Discussion] What's bugging you now?

crazydj · March 6, 2012

@crazydj,

your bike so many problems, how come you haven't dulan and rage sell the bike yet?

Because they are minor problems to start with and i just make it sound serious. Its just me la. I like things to be perfect. I know, even people complain that i am a perfectionist at times but sometimes, i just need the thing to be correct and perfect if not it really ruins my whole damn day. Like if my mirror is crooked a bit, the whole day i would be thinking about it and once i reach home, i will faster get it right again. Or if i need to buy a spare part but the shop closed, the whole night i will have trouble sleeping.

You see bro, my bike is the only thing that is truly mine in life. Bought with my own money, under my name, full cash, COE until 2016. When i was younger i didnt have anything in my name or anything that belonged to me. I either got stuff that was handed down to me or it wasnt even mine in the first place. This is the reason why i am so damn cheap now and try to save on things that i could.

When i was younger, my friends all had spanking new computers which were fast and could play the latest games. I had to overclock my pentiums 3 or socket A rigs, all that crap so that i could actually play with my friends. So when i actually got something worthwile, i had to make sure that it was perfect to cover all that losses i had when i was young.

Oh ya, to answer your question, i am a very logical person. I do no t care about feelings and emotions. I bought my bike in 2009, fully paid. It was quite a decision i made years ago which i did not regret. Excellent fuel efficiency, workhorse etc. Maybe you havent owned a bike like mine before but when i buy spare parts for my bike ah, the spares are so damn cheap it makes no logical sense to sell it. Repairs are cheap, parts are cheap, you know, all that crap. Of course, i can pay a mechanic to help me solve my problem with regards to my bike leaking oil but that brings out the fun in 2 things. Learning about bikes and saving money. I am a person who likes to learn new things or add on to my knowledge and i like to save money.

When i go to mechanic and ask them to explain to me, some mechanics like to explain why its like this and that but many, if not most, will just think im trying to double cross their decisions. I just asking only, wanna learn, but dunno why they are like that. Then also, things that i can do myself i will do la, things i cannot do, of course i will get help. My whole life, i've been helping around the house fix switches and electronics, find supplier, all that crap. Can you imagine young teenage me will take bus around singapore just to find the spare part for an expensive blender? Yeah, it is this exposure that made me who i am today.

I never believe in ragequit. I never believed in quitting for no reason, out of rage, or just giving up. I will only quit when i know the cons severely outweigh the pros. Yes, i get scolded some of my friends for being too logical sometimes, but this is me. As a gamer, from young, if losing like hell, i wont quit a game or scold bad words. I will humbly admit defeat, learn why i lost and adapt from there. If you're gonna lose, might as well learn from it right?

In a nutshell, why i didnt dulan and sell the bike is because i am a person who will think things through fast and make the right logical decisions before i do something. My bike COE left until 2016. Its fully paid. Even if i spend on repairs, i still have savings to drink milo dinosaur everyday. I have ridiculous friends who i dunno whether they use brain or not, or just trolling me, keep asking me to get bigger bike and all that crap. I dont need. I am a practical person. As long the damn thing can move, i happy already. When i was younger, i hated public transport because i felt that i was controlled and not in control. With a fully paid bike, i am in control. No one can tell me when to pay my monthly installment if not my bike taken away from me, no one can tell me what time i should wake up to catch the bus to go to school.

I hope this helps in explaining why i never rage sell my bike. If i can fix it, i will fix it. God give me brain and skills to help myself and others. But if i cannot do anything with the skills that i have picked up over the years, then i will ask for help. I have not been a quitter all my life, and i am not gonna start. When you figure out things on your own and learn from experience with guidance from others, you can learn alot.

If i didn't need his help, I would have walk off. Personally, I believe although you are lending a helping hand, you should still have some basic courtesy. Oh well. Courtesy is almost near to extinction.

Anyone here rides aprilia RS125? Been having this bugging problems eversince I overhauled my engine and changed to arrow exhaust. Bike don't feel as smooth as it was before. Or is it just that I was accustomed to the smooth sound before that?

My mech says it is normal for the sounds made as the exhaust now is empty. Anyone care to enlighten me?

If u have changed to after market exhaust, naturally e sound wud b louder or depends on e "character" of e pipe... After u overhauled ur engine, have u tried to use stock pipe ? If not, fix e stock pipe n see whether that buzzing exist, then can compare...

Got fix pc5 or not bro ? Hehe

hi ppl..juz wanna share my bad experience with Boon Siew service centre staff.

i called them to made enquiry abt ST1300 overheating problem.. coz a friend had this problem during our recent road trip to malacca. i called the service centre to get clarification as to whether it is a common problem for ST1300 to overheat. but to my disappointment the staff who took my call juz simply gave a straight "NO..NO!! OUR ST13 DONT HAVE THAT PROBLEM..!" i was stunned by his reply. he didnt even ask me how the problem develops or smtg like dat.. he juz simply deject my enquiry.

when i told the staff that i hv heard & in fact read abt the overheat problem on several forums, he asked for the forum website & said he wanted to take a look at the forum. wen i gave him the name of one of the website, he didnt even bother to get the name but instead repeatedly said "WE DONT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH OUR ST13..! i was disappointed by the staff's impolite & unhelpful attitude.

come to tink dat he's wrking at a service centre with dis kinda atttitude. ill gv him an 'AWFUL' rating for customer service. too bad i didnt get his name. Boon Siew shud address customer service attitude to their staffs.

Different people different mindset la. I'm addicted to the rush riding gives me, cornering, filtering fast, riding hard, going far and further, the freedom of it all and the fact that your skills one of the crucial things that makes the difference between life and death. Makes life more interesting, I don't care about bragging rights, they happen to tag along if you did something right. More CC, more power, different bike, different sort of fun.

My whole life, i've been helping around the house fix switches and electronics, find supplier, all that crap. Can you imagine young teenage me will take bus around singapore just to find the spare part for an expensive blender? Yeah, it is this exposure that made me who i am today.

I never believe in ragequit. I never believed in quitting for no reason, out of rage, or just giving up. I will only quit when i know the cons severely outweigh the pros. Yes, i get scolded some of my friends for being too logical sometimes, but this is me. As a gamer, from young, if losing like hell, i wont quit a game or scold bad words. I will humbly admit defeat, learn why i lost and adapt from there. If you're gonna lose, might as well learn from it right?

In a nutshell, why i didnt dulan and sell the bike is because i am a person who will think things through fast and make the right logical decisions before i do something. My bike COE left until 2016. Its fully paid. Even if i spend on repairs, i still have savings to drink milo dinosaur everyday. I have ridiculous friends who i dunno whether they use brain or not, or just trolling me, keep asking me to get bigger bike and all that crap. I dont need. I am a practical person. As long the damn thing can move, i happy already. When i was younger, i hated public transport because i felt that i was controlled and not in control. With a fully paid bike, i am in control. No one can tell me when to pay my monthly installment if not my bike taken away from me, no one can tell me what time i should wake up to catch the bus to go to school.

I hope this helps in explaining why i never rage sell my bike. If i can fix it, i will fix it. God give me brain and skills to help myself and others. But if i cannot do anything with the skills that i have picked up over the years, then i will ask for help. I have not been a quitter all my life, and i am not gonna start. When you figure out things on your own and learn from experience with guidance from others, you can learn alot.

For a small CBF150, yes you can do up the bike.

Imagine getting yourself a VFR800 with multiple problems. Coil, wiring harness, ECU, rectifier, etc problems.

You try fixing that one by one, and factor in the cost of the replacement parts.

Then you see if you still want to talk about not being a quitter.

With the current economic situation in Singapore, the money in my pocket and the road infrastructure, logical and practical me would not wanna get higher displacement bikes. With reference to me not being a quitter, in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 indicates my logic that i will buy a practical bike.

In paragraph 6 i stated that, "will only quit when i know the cons severely outweigh the pros."

The last 2 paragraphs indicates me not being a quitter with reference to my bike or similar bikes like it. This can be seen in the 2nd last paragraph when i specifically said that i do not need a bigger capacity bike.

But of course, even if i did not include the 2nd last paragraph in my post, in my last paragraph, the statement made that i will get help if i do not possess the skills and ability to repair or attempt to repair the bike, i will get help.

The issue here is that, giving up in my perspective is not trying for yourself and just settling for the easier solutions of selling and giving it to the mechanic to solve it. Those are the few last resort solutions as i will try to exhaust all solutions within my ability before asking for help. Its like solving an equation. Try to solve it myself first. If i am unable to solve it, then i will ask for help.

You cannot just read select words or phrases in my post. You have to read it from start to end because the placement of each paragraph and ideas indicate that

1) I got no money and reason for a bigger bike.

2) The reason why i got my current bike.

3) Giving up simply means not trying and exhausting whatever you can do on your own before you get help from a mechanic or sell it away.

EDIT:

Thank you for seeing this point. I just spent 5 minutes typing out my reasoning to DeusExMachina.

First of all bro, its not nice to call people names la. And secondly, i think sharing my experiences and perspectives with others here on SBF can help broaden the mind of fellow bikers...

Who knows right... Perhaps there are individuals out there feeling down that their bikes keep spoiling and dunno what to do. Perhaps my past experiences and stories can help motivate them or something. Perhaps i can indirectly help them make decisions like those who are short of money but need a bike urgently can get a cheap commuter bike. Or those who are on the fence about buying a larger capacity bike or sticking to a small commuter bike. I believe that if you can help others in the world, no matter how you do it, whether it is physically or intellectually, you can help to make someone's life better.

I did read your entire post. Just trying to reinforce the point between a low cost bike and a more complex machine. Even some of the newer small bikes with FI engines might not be that easy to hold on too once the electronics start giving you problems.

I had a Phantom 150 which I rode as a tpt till COE end in 2009. At the end of life, I could've renewed the COE, but I decided that the constant problems it was giving me wasn't worth the time and $$. It's not just abt $$. When something breaks often, it wastes my time too. Time that can be spent riding or doing something more worthwhile. So I scrapped it.
