Why got pool of water leh?

Can't they drain it off because I'm coming?

 

All the way in is sand and gravel, maybe mud too. So this is to keep your wheel clear of them before hitting the tar road. Mean for the vehicles going out but going in is the same way - so too bad lor.

 

Anyway 九千岁 no such privileges for draining the water...you're still short of one thousand before 万岁 then you will have this privilege too.

Information for sharing;

 

To those who wish to renew their comprehensive motor insurance but due to their bike already more than 5 years old, and the insurance company like NTUC not allow to extend or coverage it. Now you can go for "Liberty insurance", can purchase through Anda Insurance Agencies Pte Ltd, located at 18 Sin Ming Lane, #02-10 Midview City, Singapore 573960, Tel: 6554 2288. They accepted my SW policy today.

 

The different between the NTUC and Liberty Comprehensive insurance are:

1. NTUC cover excess $500 but Liberty cover excess $750 onward, personal top up of $250 more than NTUC.

2. If your bike stolen outside Singapore, compensation an amount of equal to 50% of the market value of your vehicle at the time of loss. (I have checked my NTUC policy, this term is the same, anyone can further confirm?)

 

Additional info for sharing:

1. If your bike required for repair, only allow to send to their agency/authorised bike shop (Looi Motor is one of the bikeshop).

2. I have called Looi Motor earlier to enquiry whether there is any comprehensive insurance for bike more than 5 years, but was told the same they don't have any insurance company accept it?

3. When happen to know Looi motor is one of the repair bike shop today, I have told the staff I have asked Looi motor for the comprehensive insurance before but not been shared for Liberty Insurance can covered?

4. The staff told me that Liberty Insurance is not popular and they previously only covered comprehensive insurance for 600cc motorcycle above and recently they extend to 400cc only, maybe Looi motor not aware? Hmm... not sure is it truth? Anyway, as long as I got the coverage will do, I think no one is interested to claim it bah.

 

For the price wise, I think more or less same as NTUC? I managed to get the full NCD from Liberty Insurance (need to show your NCD from your previous insurance company), total costs S$473.37 (third party fire n theft oso cost me S$300 plus from NTUC), paid S$170 more to have more coverage, worth it.

Was reading the tech corner and found out that EO is better for the final transmission, should I change it as well? Cos the bikes shop uses gear oil.

using 10w40 motor oil for the final drive is not "SW tech corner"'s recommendation... it is the manufacturer Honda's recommendation (see below img for page of service manual)...

http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv287/josephsbs/Silverwing/ManualFinaldriveoil_1.jpg?t=1293937673

 

there're also some SW riders using gear oil at final drive and didn't encounter problem. my guess is they don't run the gears at high rpm over prolonged periods, as like during touring.

if you don't plan to tour with this oil, probably ok... but at own risk since different specs from Honda's recommendation.

afterall, repairs don't cost a "bomb"... both Fusionjaz n myself paid $500+ to replace worn shaft/bearings after returning from touring

Gents,

If anyone here is interested in selling one, do drop me a PM.

 

I will also be letting go my 2007 busa with a lot of bolt on accessories/performance parts.

Anyone interested can also PM me. Cheers to all!

john... new gadget for you to buy... Light Field Camera

https://www.lytro.com/camera

 

see samples https://www.lytro.com/living-pictures/167

lytro pics simulate pics taken with large aperture for a nice boukeh, but you can change to focus point by clicking on the desired spot in the photo... real cool.

imagine the technology can do more than just focusing, like removal of some unwanted contents in the pic... whoa, super cool

what to remove depends on what you want to see
