My bike has suddenly become very smooth. Earlier I used to get a gargling kind of sound from the engine/exhaust. But ever since I am using Chex 9000 Fully Synthentic 10W50 EO, the bike has got smoother and smoother. I just love this EO. Also since I change my spark plugs just one crank bike starts no need to use choke.

 

Right now my bike is in the perfect condition and I am just lovin' it

[arthur_chan]

I am just lovin' it

 

reminds me of macdonal

[harumonia]

haha, easier said than done

I saw this Sunday a duke parked at Centrepoint basement. I had forgotten how much I loved the monster. It was a 696, white-ish (not bright white, some grey white, gorgeous).

It's just hard to explain how I feel about this bike, but anyway, it speaks to my heart.

If I understand correctly the monster 400 is not in production anymore, and I on't want a second hand bike. So I looked it up a bit, the 696 is currently at $24,500 without insurance road tax and COE. But I don't think I'll buy it here. I think it might be cheaper to buy it overseas and self import it. A lot of hassle, but it might save thousands of dollars. (in the range of at least 5k if not more).

The plan is to start saving now for a year, pass my class 2 and get the dream bike somehow. And of course, keep the Pulsar, that goes without saying.

 

When I read this I was like... isn't the Duke a 690cc bike? Then I went to check the websites to see if they released a new Duke. Then I realised you're talking about Ducati Monster, not KTM Duke. Doh!

 

Wait for me then we all go buy together! The 696 and 848evo makes me drool like mad. There's an S4R parked below my workplace all the time. Super sexy. But then again my class 2 license is coming in 1.5+ year's time and I wonder if I can afford a Ducati even then. Maybe buy the toy model.

after i remove my air box, now engine sound like mini boxer engine :cheeky:

 

nice sound yeah? .... how is the perfomance? any upsize the mj and pj?

 

hmmm on third pic shows oil splatters by the blow-by gas ... to prevent the blow-by gas oil splatters all over and messy your bike .. wise you get a small breather and connect to the breather hose... add a T joint at the end of it and place a small container as a drainer before the breather.

You can get the small breather at Ah boy or motoworld ... price I forgot though ... sorry hehehe

 

And for cleaner air to your engine .. wise to apply the knn oil on the filter after cleaning process .... Cheers!

[mjbs64]

Alamak! You removed the whole air filter box

 

hahaha fyi totalpet got no choice lah but to sacrifies his airbox hehehehe ...

like in Transformers the movie lah when Optimus Prime said to Megatron ...

i think the breather will not stop the EO from coming out too long.

 

anyway what is mk and pj? what jet ah?

Awesome! I didnt know you had also changed to K&N. I was thinking you were running on Protec Air filter which looks like the stock.

BTW, what is the small cylinderical thingy besides the side panel latch? Looks like a secondary air filter

[ORen]

Yeah, it does look cheaper to import a bike, although with lots of hassles.

Have a look at this thread:

http://forum.singaporeexpats.com/ftopic74036.html

 

 

One of the posters there, CuriousGeorge, has actually imported his F800GS from the UK and has made a detailed report in his blog. May be helpfull.

 

Yeah, read it a while ago: http://f800gsrider.blogspot.com/2009/04/self-importing-motorbike-from-uk-to.html

but thanks for mentioning it

 

 

O'ren Dai Jie, Ur Alarm still wif me lex. When are u free to come over my place to collect?

The alarm was for someone who still hasn't passed her 2B *hello ah!* but yeah sorry I'm using you as storage space :cheeky:

 

I'm hoping there will be a get together tomorrow evening at AMK, I missed everyone - maybe you can be there ? ig not, then we can plan on seeing each other this WE: you live in the east right ? where would be more convenient for us to meet ? I live in bukit batok but if you want I definitely can come to your doorstep , just let me know.

I think everyone here can relate congrats, awesome feeling !

My bike is displaying worrying signs of dry gear shifting and louder engine noise when I open throttle. Not very worrying, but not as smooth as it used to be - strangely, ever since I switched to Mobil oil, the one MJ you recommended.

And also, the bike's oil signal turns on when it rains - is that normal ? (always meant to ask but...)

lol...I tell you what Haru, if everything goes as planned and with a little help from above, when I get my dukette, I will let you ride it a bit by yourself (in a controlled environment like kallang stadium carparks or something) - how does that sound ? So if you're still saving up, you can from time to time enjoy it. (Just Haru. the others, don't even ask lol)

You guys will be the first to know !

why he so special, i wana ride duke too

[ORen]

Bro MJ , did you go through with getting yourself riding pants ?

I just came back from Motoworld, got me my first pair of riding pants : Komine PK-659

 

http://www.gochen.com.tw/digiweb/ezcatfiles/wgp/img/img/608/659.jpg

http://rts1001.ktspeedway.co.kr/dav/nrbike/nrbike/OnLine/Komine/Pants/Mesh/PK-659/pk-659_d.jpg

 

It's not easy to get the right pants. Besides the numerous options and choice in term of fabric, resistance, waterproofing etc, you have many different fits and cuts.

For me, the biggest problem was to find pants that fit my legs length and more importantly the placing of my knee.

 

Anyway, I preferred the PK-700 style and cut over this model, but it didn't have full protection, only a pad on the hips and the hard protection on the knees.

 

The PK-659 has hips and butt padding, with hard shell for the coccyx, lower back padding as well as hard shells for knees and side of the thighs. Of course, what you gain in protection you tend to give out in looks: I look a bit like a snowman in the pants, but hey, peace of mind for me and my relatives.

 

I picked a big size so i can wear them on top of jeans or work pants, so I can just take them off if I'm at work or don;t want to walk around in them.

 

I haven't tried them for a ride yet, I'll wear them after work today on my way back hom and will let you guys know if it makes much difference.

[arthur_chan]

but i got a new idea.. maybe can mod it into a chain oiler. [don waste that EO ]

i think the breather will not stop the EO from coming out too long.

 

u use that oil on ur chain, ur chain will die faster. used eo contain a lot of particles, use that on chain, ur chain will have more particle to rub on, instead of making it smoother, u're sanding it.

 

it's a good idea for a container for the blow pass, however u need to keep it open while keeping the stray oil in, how to achieve that?

What is the model of the air filter and the price?

Any improve on FC , power and engine sound?

So far how the performance any feedback to share?

Nice thinking of doing the same on my bike.

Interesting statistics. There are 2166 Bajaj vehicles in Singapore at the moment, about 1.46% of all vehicles. In 2005 there were just 198 vehicles i.e 0.1%. So in 5 years we have grown about 10 times. Impressive!

 

Other interesting fact. Only 18K more motocycles have been added to the roads in the last 10 years. Yamaha used to be at the top in 2000 now its Honda in the top spot. See how bad suzuki has done over the last 10 years!

Ok,ok, don't you guys start crying on me now !

[ORen]

$230 - price in Yen is equivalent to $280 online from what I saw surfing the web so it's still a bit expensive, but not too bad. Hopefully this is the kind of equipment you invest in and can keep many years if you don;t have an accident with it. (and if you've finished growing up haha ).

A bit like the bluetooth headset F4 BlueAnt, it was a bit on the expensive side, but it serves me well every single day and I'm super happy with it !

Bajaj went from #20 to #10 in ten years - power of the unbeatable PULSAR baby ! :cheer:

Ducati from #19 to #14 - I think whoever own Minerva, the sole importer, is make a $%# load of money.
