From your desription,is like a wet lube. Maybe for both dirt and street bikes. Sometimes your will see Super 4, usually lah with dirty chain with blueish stain, those are dry ones.

For starter tune your sus to your weight and riding style.. Real riders know their sus setting and how to use their sus to maximum potential. Head shake, up ur preload, reduce compression. Those who dont really know how the sus works will buy steering damper to solve the problem. Of course if your sus is maxed out, the steering damper is a cheaper alternative in place of a rear shock. they will usually tells you what exuast to buy and how fast they are in straight line...

Got youtube and tons of what you need.

There're a lot more things to set / service on this bike. Just looking through the service manual makes me goggy already. SW is much simpler

Dont use dry ones, it will turn ur chain into silly blue or white color. For dirt bikes.

Wet based with Teflon or sperm oil. Clear that will penetrate your chain..Used it only when the chain is warm.

 

The service manual recommends using heavy weight engine oil to lube chain and kerosine to clean. Standard practice?

I used to use kerosene and sometimes tupertine to clean the chain with a brush plus plenty of water. I believe some people uses the normal engine oil to lube their chain, others swear by their scottoiler. However I prefer chain wax. Although the chain may looks dirty after a while, however it does not splutter too much and dirty my rims and side farings.

 

That donkey years back bro. If I need to maintain a chain now, I will probably try the scottoiler Last time is young and plenty of time, for now, I wouldn't want to spend time cleaning chain.

Just changed my plans for Songkran next year.

 

Not going to Phuket.. after the super long ride this end of year.

 

Instead will opt for direct Hatyai only of 5D5N.

3 days leave applicable

Accommodation cost is $128 (single, Pink Hotel). If upgrade to Lee Garden Plaza (not recommended), expect twin sharing at around same price or single at double the cost.

 

With the shorter trip, may be able to kidnap the Husband-to-be for a Bachelor's Night.

*For security reasons, video recording devices are not allowed onsite.

[SW9000]

Anyway, also worried for North Thailand trip... later I also fly aeroplane... haha

Leave not approved yet becos of new outsourcing contract, which I'm handling.

Suay suay the contract start date has been fixed at the same period.

If wanna do rafting at Hatyai let me know. But prepare to get blue black here and there if you don't know how to canoe...

Now I know why people like MaIkEr and Fazli go for a full system exhaust. The sound of a tuned exhaust (not necessarily mean loud) is a feel good factor

My main goal for full system is to free up the exhaust air flow and to lighten up the rear a little more. With the baffle in is still as quiet as stock system. The stock system can replace barbell to do gym exercise. Super heavy. LOL!

Ya, everything about SW is heavy. The stock exhaust probably weighs about 10kg. An easy way for weight loss is to lose the pillion or slim down

 

The keyword is "tuned". You can tell a tuned WRX from one that is just blatantly loud.

[Fazli]

Mine not tuned yet... Still have to replace my air filter to aftermarket. I came across this video while browsing youtube.

Impressive, but I'm not sure whether our plugs stay ignited for a duration long enough to achieve a full circular spark. Available for purchase already?

 

SW is auto-tune to a small limit due to the O2 closed loop system. Replace your filter lag, since already upgraded the exhaust.

heehee, don't have full system exhaust on my SW... dyno will cost about $300+

 

This is a dyno report before and after tune. How to interpret?
