filo is popular in betong

hmmm... you probably meant fino... yes its quite popular... amongst the classic scooters they are probably the most popular ones around... although betong did have a few vespas too!

 

they kept mentioning about channel one... but my tv didn't have a channel one... so I was watching the usual music video channel...

Hi KSM team,

 

It must be great fun for the ride up North and looping down to Pattani & Betong. Hopefully no sore butt after reaching back Singapore.

 

There was some posts on the use of gasohol in Thailand. Basically, the ethanol present in gasohol will harden the rubber parts for carb engines (i.e. floats, diaphragm etc) for prolong usage. For those going for touring, if the petrol station doesn't offer gasoline, it is still alright to pump gasohol once a while. Anyway, once back in Malaysia, the amount of gasoline pump would be sufficient to clear or burn away the ethanol in the fuel tank. If the bike still experience lack of power, then I guess the bike has to be check by your mechanic or if you are cruising at low speed during the tour, whack the engine and clear some carbon.

 

Because of the presence of ethanol, gasohol tends to give lesser power compared to gasoline, thus the feeling of lack of power on the bike. Some tourers would pump gasoline 91 and add top up with octane booster, which they bring along.

 

Nowadays, it is harder to find 95 gasoline in Thailand. On my last trip up in April, do notice that in Thailand, 91 fuel is also fast turning into gasohol.

 

So those bikes running on carb engine, do tell your mechanics to check your rubber parts in the engine and replace if necessary during your next servicing.

 

There was a thread on gasohol in SBF. You can take a look right here.

 

Thank you for your advice...

 

Yeah u r right, if going north it is much more harder to find even gasoline-91, more n more pump station simply just offer gasohol. So I think for touring purpose, the practical way is to pump gasoline-91+octane booster (if ur bike can take it), and if really no choice then have to pump gasohol.

 

But once back to SG, better to flush ur engine carbon.

memories are priceless

Ah Koh... if u like massage massage maybe ur budget should be about 1.5k. And if u wanna learn diving then add another $600... but, if u budget budget like vidak then $700 is enough.

she say her bike chiu liao~

[ninjapura]

From what I gathered, so far most big bike (with FI) and newer bike (carb) is okay with gasohol. Although there are still some discussion on it... but if ur bike is old model n running on carb then better dun try. And it is best to try out on each specific bike model to confirm.

Then you help her overhalt the engine and bring her boyboy there. Or ask your Vara tow her there lor.

 

By the time you reach Pagoh, i think your gear/Engine also gone case le.

[huairen]

agreed

 

if the FN-plate RXZ can make it, I see no reason people telling me his/her bike cannot make it...

[ninjapura]

put in simply... carb has some rubber parts in float (just like toilet bowl) and seal ring etc... but for FI it is just like a gun... metal, no rubber parts... just shoot n shoot the fuel nia...

LOL, ninja....

yeah still waiting.

got a point there, ethanol attack rubber...

 

put in simply... carb has some rubber parts in float (just like toilet bowl) and seal ring etc... but for FI it is just like a gun... metal, no rubber parts... just shoot n shoot the fuel nia...

 

from what i know, may not be correct... carb better to use 91 gasoline, fi 95 gasohol should not be a problem.
