[siaopig]

[compfused]

I need some info on the shop called HOU HENG..Recently went there and realised got two HOU HENGS! One is at the first row which is the second shop next to an Indian shop..The other is the second row next to ah beng shop..So which is it? What are their operating hours? I only know of the second row one that opens at 3pm..What about the other one at the first row?

[YEN96]

they are the same shop..the boss open another one ..which is the newer one in front

 

all boils down to the regular personal mechanic who u want to service your bike.

Went to the lower Hou Heng just now..Service is pretty good..Good friendly mechanics..Very sad tho that I had to change my goddamn piston..Shocking thing AH Hao (I think) told me was no need running in la..This one original parts if piston jam can come back I change new one for you..But just to be in the safe side I decide to do the running in..Better safe than sorry right guys? Anyway how should I go about running it in? How many kilometres? Whats the exact speed that I should follow? Sorry I'm pretty new to these running in thingys..Any help would be greatly appreciated..

 

Thanks..

Thanks..

if you only change piston

there is no need to run in..

you can whack already..

 

unless you rebore/change new block..

then running in is no longer a choice

it is a MUST..

 

Look at it this way..

You fit a 8mm METAL rod into a 8mm METAL cylinder

Now imagine it's sliding in and out (dun think other thing haaaa!!)

1st thing that comes to your mind.. friction

Wear and tear will occur on both the rod and the interior of the cylinder..

Now you fit in a new 8mm rod..

Would it be easier to slide in and out than the 1st time when both the rod and cylinder are "virgin"

Think about it..

 

Running in usually:

Dun tekan more than 80km/hr for 500km..

Kiasu would say 800km..

 

IMHO,

Hou Heng is a good shop..

But you had better not let Ah Hao see you send your bike to other shops nearby..

That will trigger his "attitude" to set in..

Other than that, he's a nice guy..

My CBR400 he do swee swee..

But guys pls remember, some parts they dun have and will fix alternatives for you..

Better ask hor.. But last time Ah Hao automatically tell me before fixing.. [Honest Guy]

Price wise ok ok ar..

 

SP Ramesh

Also not a bad shop..

Price wise also ok ok ar

 

But seriously guys, there are cheaper and better shops further up..

Go explore..

Taman Molek, Jln Suria, Angsana, Tampoi

+ if you're looking for accessories, perhaps you guys should recce Johor Credit or Ah Boy JB first..

I've been to SP Ramesh good shop too..S far I think SP Ramesh and Hou Heng(lower) good shop overall..Friendly mechs..Approachable if you have any queries..As for AhBoy johor..The first time I went was at that shop..After service my bike the mech put everything back together "nicely"..So nice the wire all can see from outside..Told him about thise wires..He simply chuck it in like nobody's business somemore right in front of my eyes..After everything is done up I took my bike apart and put it back together nicely..Wires and everything in its proper position..So you can say one bad experience makes me not wanna go there and do my bike anymore tho there is a lot of accessories there..

 

As for the whackin..Really can whack huh? Don't tempt me la..I long time never whack..Everytime vehicles pass me by so fast..Go work also reach not really on time..Must go out earlier then can reach on time..Life seems boring..
