I don't think petrol itself wont cost as much as 180 if u go only sch, home and work. Provided your bike fc is not super chui.

 

"In the long run will maintenance really be very ex..?"-

It depends on each individual I think. For me, I feel it is ok. This is my first bike so I do not feel otherwise since I have not owned a "hassle-free" bike like a wave b4. I guess it also depends on what condition you got the bike in and how you gonna care for it or abuse it.

 

 

I guess overhaul is when they open up your whole bike and replace the worn and spoiled parts. I have never done this b4 so I dunno much about it. Maintenance is what we do regularly to the bike to keep it in good running condition. Basic maintenace/servicing could be changing spark plug, engine oil, top-up coolant, clean/lube chain. Washing and waxing bike as part of maintenace is optional of course lol. Actually everything is optional until it spoils.

 

 

Oh ok bro .Thanks for e info on e maintenance n stuff! :) Will be posting when i gg view soon...when my $$ comes in

Hi ...need some advice :( cos i came across quite a few threads and recently...maintenance over e long term has been in my mind.

 

For part time... i get roughly 440-500 range for part time a month.

So...i'm actually quite sure i really like and want a Kr. But..imagine or lets say i got monthly installment ard 100-140 range... left with 300..petrol maybe...180(Ride 6days a week..mainly school and bck home..workplace super near home.)?

Den left with 120 every month...

In the long run will maintenance really be very ex..?

Cos i actually dont wanna like work so hard and slog for bike...=no enjoyment.

Sorry ps...care to explain diff between overhaul and maintenance?

 

I read some threads ppl mentioned maybe getting a spark and rxz would b cheaper..but i dont really like e idea of spark cos no tank..and mainly both not sportsbike.

Need some advice once again.. lol..sorry bros out there!

 

my first yrs riding krr got not much problem!

only repair front brake jam less thn $50(4got liao)

this all depend the bike u buy got problem or not!

my fc at that time 260km b4 reserve

i work at yung ho rd,stay woodlands

2 way traffic=47-50km

i whack almost every morning at KJE cos i wake up late(so more petrol)

every 4-5 days i top up petrol.

2T also not much $!

IMPORTANCE**if u buy a gd condition bike n u take care the bike

not much $ spend on the maintenance.**

may b 1 year full service 1 time(got $ 1 month 1 time also can),decarbon pipe+ (this depend)wash carb...plus++++

ya lor...

 

you no need to buy brand new of course, can always buy 2nd hand but by the time you finish your car loan ( if you are so rich to no need loan, i got nothing to say )...in 3~5 years whatever, you need to renew COE. so back to square root of 1.

 

Renew COE price is the average of past 3 months new COE prices...so $ around there, should not be too different unless very swinging market.

 

of course you can avoid that by changing car, sell your old car ( with value greatly depreciated ) & buy another old car & take loan all over again ( any money from your previous car can only offset the down-payment ) so effectively you are GETTING INTO DEBT ALL OVER AGAIN. :(

 

my idea is buy car only when your TOTAL Costs of ownership ( everything = installment, tax, insurance, petrol, parking, service etc ) is only 20% of your "disposable" ( cash at hand ) income, remember that is also "housing" costs ( experts say less than 1/3, i say 1/4 :p ). i figure unless your pay is above $5k or your company subsidize ( if you have a sales jobs )...forget it.

 

buy a class 2 only when you can afford car. Class 2 is expensive but still cheaper than car. So if you are rich enough to buy car but chose to buy class 2 instead, you still save some $$.

 

buy a 2a only when you can afford class 2...buy a 2b only when you can afford 2a. buy old & 2nd hand whenever possible unless you are so financially comfortable to afford a bigger class bike. eg. if you can afford a brand new 2a, then go buy brand new 2b. when you can afford brand new 2b, buy a cheap 2b. can buy cheap 2b, go buy 2nd hand instead...still cannot afford...go the kup chai route or even bicycle ( if you are young & fit buy a fast bicycle, if you are old & fat, buy a slower bicycle )

 

ADD: that is why now Mercs / BMW are the top seller in sg, no more Jap brands, it is the luxury European cars...

 

WELCOME TO SINGAPORE...PLACE FOR THE RICH & FAMOUS. :)

 

5k for single..can buy

(even 2k also cn buy+eat roti with tap water everyday)

but if marrige...2 salary..lagi can buy

(if u marrige use condom all the way,no miss fire ...sure can buy also)

problem is ahead got alot of expenses waitting for u

all nid $$$$ in sg when step out the door!

(next time got human IU unit install at our body)

hahaha!

traffic jam n parking is a big problem too!

may b weekend car...still can consider

somemore COE o fxxking high

more n more ERP!!!-(

lucky u alry got the house.-)

Haha unlikely possible man.. actually possible..current job around close to 5 bucks per hour...

but if got , also 6bucks job...even more tiring...and further more working hours..working days...nt so flexible bro.

I think pizza hut is really quite slack for me..prev working at ion f&b as cashier for 6 bucks...but slowly...from cashier ask u do tons of work till physically and mentally wanna die T_T.

See how ah... might consider changing job....but at e moment i doubt so...anyway it's part time ah..

 

I guess the other way could b i take up 3 years installment...so wont b so burdened on $$ wise..i knw in e long run i kena eat by interest or what ah....but might...might only..b better for me .Am i right to say so? Cos got a friend who took up 3 years too..for KR..from start of year.

i hope you will not be offended by my long-winded "nagging" here...

 

i think it is better for you to "control" your "desire" ( for KR, not sex :p) a bit...

 

actually you got company wave to ride not bad already :thumb:, last time i bicycle to school & work.

 

wait until you got more money then buy...buy at least need $ 1~2k standby...some more i think you need to standby something like at least $1k for 1 year of maintain / repairs / service etc etc

 

in addition, i assume you are young rider where insurance sure very expensive one...:cry:

 

control 1st, tahan & wait longer until you got a better paying job or more money but DON"T ROB BANK ok :p ?

 

 

 

R15, too last minute leh, now then i see, last night watching Tour de France ( every night must watch but it all ends today :cry: )
