Hi,

where do you all change your oil filter and engine oil for Tmax other than Hong Leong? Mine is up for servicing, but the waiting time at HL is too long.

EJ · April 10, 2013

Can always go outside bike shops.. Ac motor, motoworld etc..

For me I DIY my oil changes.

Then where do you get the oil filter and the wrench for the filter?

EJ · April 10, 2013

Buy lor..

Oil filter I'm using KNN at the moment. It has a 17mm nut welded to the front so I don't need an oil filter wrench. But in any case I choose to use Malossi's oil filter I do have an oil filter wrench for it.

Ac motor got one yamaha rack. 2nd hand. Can fit any top box..

cagiva03 · April 25, 2013

i cant help you on this as i fitted Polini Speed Control instead on my 500..
Dun know if @cagiva03 had any exp

if i`m not wrong u can play around with the weight of the rollers to get what u wanna achieve..

Simon87, u are the Simon who use to work in Mediacorp staging rite?

Anyway, the problem that u mentioned sounds like the roller weights are too light. Weights usually comes ranging from 14 grammes to 18 grammes. The lighter the weights, the more unreluctant it is willing to be "flung" outwards and pushed on the primary plates that are pressing on the belt. As the plates pushed against the belt, it resembles a bicycle changing the front sprockets to a higher gear. Now that ur weights are too light, it doesnt get flung outwards easily at low rev, so it resembles bicycle at a low front gear ratio. Original weight profiles should be abt 16-17 grammes. Changing to 18 grammes will mean that at low revs, the bike will starts to move off , but when full throttle, its acclerations is slower. For lighter weights rollers, if u full throttle, the bike will acclerate faster but loose high end power. U also need to double check and make sure all the weights are of the same heaviness. I reccomend u 16 grammes more balanced road usage. And i have heard of and come across ppl selling their TMax with mix and match roller weights. Alternating between 14 grames and 16 grames. It does not work that way.

Another options is for u to visit Excel Cycle in ShunLi industrial park and look for Ah Meng, tell him referal from me.

ahben9 · April 26, 2013

can you verify this that BMW C Sports is running on Kymco engine? I was seriously considering to replace my XP500 with this.

Sports model available for test ride. Pretty torquey and aggressive. One thing you must know.. which is the Beemer scooter is running on a Kymco engine .....

Swing 7777 · April 26, 2013

can you verify this that BMW C Sports is running on Kymco engine? I was seriously considering to replace my XP500 with this.

Yes this is true..it is said to be "BMW Designed but built by Kymco" Or is it simply a Kymco engine...i`m sure BMW would try to cover this as much as possible..

EJ · April 27, 2013

Dunno why BMW didn't bother to build their own engine.. But some people tell me the engine crankcase is from kymco, internals are still BMW's. Dunno how true though.
