bro,

 

U changed your clutch?

What brand?

[anodise57]

Don't think much difference in the thickness.

Arboh how come Honda suggest use SAE 10W40 oil?

eh..... don think japan has 12 months of HEATY and high humidity......

normally we should use thicker oil for anythign that needs to lub......

including KY>>>>>> hahaha

[scoobydoo]

U changed your clutch? What brand?

no lah... robin changed his, mine are still ok but i change lots of others thingies...

. variator roller plates set

. rear drive shaft

. drive shaft inner plate

. bearings

. oil seal & o-ring

. final trans oil (10w40)

 

food for thought 1:

for final trans oil, clifford said better to follow honda's manual n use 10w40 instead of the heavier n thicker 80/90 which most mechs will recommend. he was one of them coz i still remember him asking me why use normal eo and not gear oil during my first change at his place, i showed him the owners manual... whahahaha. but after stripping the gears apart yesterday, he now thinks that honda has reason to recommend 10w40. gears of our SW are fine and very closely meshed together, having very small gaps between the inter-meshing teeth. 80/90 oils may not be able to penetrate and lub the parts as well as the lighter 40/50 ones.

 

food for thought 2:

i switched from 10w40 to 80w90 on 14/04/09. maybe just sh*t luck coincidence, maybe the heavier oil sped up the wearing i dunno, the "roughing" sound appeared shortly after. itchy backside cost me dearly

my recommendation, use the maxima 15w50 (heavier but not too heavy)

... i'm using the much heavier castrol final transmission oil 80w90 instead of the 10w40 as stated in the manual.

Personally, i think the condition is still good, if you ask me.

too lazy to wash my ride after its discharge from "hospital" so took it out last evening and left it to the pros... for $22 (autoglym pack) i'ld say its pretty worth. did the basic pack for $12 few weeks back, also satisfied. our SW (bikes without chains) get $3 off the normal price.

 

http://dgapz.multiply.com/journal

went to their outlet at kaki bukit (they rented a place from Republic Motor)

http://www.locale.com.sg/yellowpages/map.php?w=250&h=250&z=1&postalcode=415996&applicationInd=yp

 

wouldn't say how fantastic and how wonderful a job they did but seriously, i think its a job well done (if giaw, still got rooms for improvement lah).

bike arrived at about 7pm and after settling/cooling down, they started washing about 7.15pm. guess what? the friendly young couple spent more than 2hrs dolling up my ride, finishing only about 9.30pm. some might complain about the lenghty time but i wonldn't like a rushy job like those at the petrol kioks. not that they wasted time, my ride was cleaned as if it belonged to them, slow and detailed. the shampoo wasn't jet blasted off but slowly rinsed down using a hose. rims, tires, brake disc/calipers, forks, shocks, body, dashboard, windshield, etc. were cleaned. polishing skills still has room for improvement, maybe becoz they're still new. but hey, even the brake levels were polished till kim kim... can't complain liow

actually, i was a bit pai sei coz they had to do OT due to my late arrival (usually close at 8pm), shall go earlier next time

 

if we can get at least 3 bikes, we can even arrange for our own location. imagine we meet for supper/tcss... leave the bikes to them for grooming and return to collect our kim kim bike after the session... idea

will organise next month and see who's interested

[scoobydoo]

sianz... foul weather... supper ki chia liow

 

my wax coat yesterday also in danger... standby to towel dry

Wooo. Back from swim with my bike.

 

Supposed to go Mersing but u-turned 30km from destination due to potential heavy rain.

Back to Taman U for A & W but.... damn outlet closed down liao.

Instead, spent my few hours in Jusco makaning and shopping and wait out the rain (started after I reached).

[SW9000]

Also managed to clear my tank.

haha. Actually accidentally put too much FP60 last week (about 60ml).

Been trying to dilute it with every 100km top up since then. * 4 times liao

Bike felt very quiet and smooth but heavy.

 

Now with fully Esso F1, the throttle feels light again.

yeah.
