why don't you guys repair you bikes in JB ?

their workmanship is not as bad as some might say.

While JB servicing is cheap (Yes, I do some of my repairs there as well), sometimes it boils down to the individual. I would rather pay a little more for certain jobs to be done here because of convenience & peace of mind. For example, you paid $10 less to wash/tune a carb in JB. After the job, you went back to Sillypore and found that it's not as good as you want it to be (Or as good as it originally was). What do you do? Going back immediately means you have wasted more petrol & time. Going back at a later point of time, apart from time/petrol, means you run a risk of the bike shop denying all charges as well and start taichi-ing to all the wrong reasons. Do you really save $10 in this scenario? What about the time wasted? There's no right or wrong answer here but it's obvious for me, who I'll choose to earn my $$$.

 

Another classic example (Real life). Friend calls me up on the phone (2pm) and asks me where the best deal to change fork seal, fork oil bla bla bla.. gave him some names. After asking he decides to go JB (At 4pm) because Malaysia may be cheaper. Fair enough. Next day, very happily he called me in the afternoon, telling me he saved $25, but he had to endure a long queue at the bike shop, tolerate a sulking girlfriend (Mind you, this was at Ah Gua lane where no shopping centres are nearby. There is no way a gal can be happy waiting there with you even though she says she's OK). They finished his bike at about 1am+ and reached Sillypore at 2am+. $25 was a good & happy saving to him, but to me, arrrrr.... I'd be happier doing it in Singapore for $25 more but finish the bike before 5pm! Again, no right or wrong answers, just different views.

DIY!

cheap, good, and can be done anytime u want..

own time own target..

 

Learn to understand your bike and how it werks..

It's like learning the process of puberty all over again..

 

Might think of it as a hassle..

But think of the long run..

It can save u a lot incur on labour, surcharges and such..

Can't really tell about the condition from the pictures except that it's quite well polished. However 2 points to note:-

 

(1) Absence of airbox and AIRFILTER!!!! Dust, dirt & grime is the enemy of all engines...

 

(2) I would check for the alignment of this particular bike particularly the right side, just to be safe.

Wah, at first sight, I thought it's a very nicely maintained bike. Clean and the exhaust isn't rusty. I still don't see the missing airbox though. Man, I suck.

My humble apologies. I was viewing the picture of the bike with my company's PC and it didn't show up as well as my home monitor display. The bike IS EQUIPPED with an airbox afterall.

 

I must be getting blind....

Nothing much. For me, I'm just trying to diss a gal in chatter box about her complaints of her husband's exhaust notes at night. Other than that, not much...

[Bukake151]

Hi guys - just wanna ask what are the drawbacks of leaving the choke on and riding around for a few days, as I forgot to turn it off after starting my bike...

- So it will only increase my fuel consumption?

 

- on taking away rust, someone told me that using aluminium foil and coke is useful for removing exhaust rust...

This has been discussed many times. Go ride the bike for a good 20 minutes at least to get the end can heated up. Then after parking, use a coin or something that won't scratch your end can and scrape it away.

normally..lazy me would juz squat down and sand the rusty parts which are visible

then take old newspaper to cover up parts u dont wan the spray paint to get on

after that take hi-temp black spray and go psssst

good to last u another 2-3mths before process need to be repeated

 

anyway...the hi-temp paint will give off a weird smell for a few times when u ride yr bike after u have sprayed the pipe

IMO any brand of black hi-temp paint is fine...

tried RJ brand as well as this other weird brand bought frm the auntie shop next to LAB before

all abt the same
