I'm assuming that ur 145miles is till reserve. If so that is way too high.

 

Most buggers managed ard 190-210miles till reserve depend on petrol grade and riding style.

 

I once elaborated on some reasons why, a few pages ago. Perhaps u can go look it up and make ur diagnosis accordingly.

Guys,

 

Anyone using a 10W-40 synthetic oil(forget wat brand)? I've recently tried that and less than 700miles the engine feels damm rough and the engine sounds darn loud. So much so that i think i'd wanna change my oil again.

 

Guess iafter this 'll stick to my usual 15W-50(Motul) instead.

jleo,

when u change from a thicker oil to a thinner one, the engine sound will increase. this is normal.

Our divvy recommed 10W40 in the manual so it is fine.

Ur complain is due to changing from a thicker oil to a thinner one. This is the effect.

It'll be opp effect when u change from thinner to thicker one.

In fact, our divvy comes with 10W40 when 1st delivr to us.

 

Adv of thinner oil is

pickup is faster;

easy to start in e morning;

all components will get lub due to a faster flow(oil pump works faster) and

a drop in operational temperature(e engine oil can remove e heat faster n therefore u will feels cooler)

but in exchange

it is more noise(damping effect is lesser as oil is thinner) and

it will "disappear" faster than as it's flashing point is lower.

 

Try any 15W50 fully Synthetic(same grade as Motul) will let u understand tat all oil are the same. The only different is it's boiling or flashing point which coz them to be different in price.

 

Read the below MO link will let u understand more.

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forum/index....showtopic=77179

 

Below is my experiance with fully synthetic oil

When I change from 10W40(esso) to 15W50(motul), like the quiteness of e engine but only to realise that engine is hotter. As a result, I change it back to 10W40 within a week coz I'm afraid that e engine gasket will shorter life span due to the higher heat being generated.

Now, using 5W50(red liner) which having the "in-between" of 10W40 n 15W50 and r happy w it until I find a better one.

Hi Yob_rekib,

First Bro- we are no sifus, just call us buggers will do...he,he,hee!

 

For a Semi-Synthetic Engine oil 5500-6000km, if it is an ordinary engine oil it should have been change every 4000km, for a fully synthetic you can use up to 8000+km. The other thing to take note of is to know the bike performance like sometime it is difficult to engage the gear or return to neutral or engine is heavy(rough)...this are all the indication for the engine oil need to be change but remember always record the mileage of the last changed use it as a guide.

 

I give you a suggestion buy those (envelope address sticker roughly about 1"+ by 3"+ stickers from bookshops/IT marts it cost about $2+ for a few dozen stickers) write the mileage, date (oil changed) on it and stick it under your seat...where you can use it as a refferrence/guide for next oil change.

 

There are other ways to delay engine oil change, is not to let the Engine Over Heat, if this regularly takes place then your oil change will be shorter then the general suggested guide line.

One more thing last not least- buy the oil filters and other yamaha spares from Automachinary Pte ltd (yamaha parts/supply's) behind mustafa verdun rd, you will save alot of $$-use OEM filters don't let wkshp bluff you into using honda filters...

Hi SG,

Thanks again for the clear info... didnt know that semi-syn can last up to 4-5k++ a lot ppl say must change below 3k lah...etc... so confusing man... btw, i'm using motul 5100 10W-40... so i guess changing at 4k would be ok just nice.... so far been buying my stuff(s) from auto cycle; will try auto machinery which is near my house too... and yes... i've been tricked into using honda oil filters

Hi Bro SG and OMD,

Thanks alot for your pointers.

Gloves for gym use, I know quite well.

Hi nickyeow,

I think you forget that you have 5th gear on your bike or WHAT!!! maybe you are riding on 4th gear all the while thinking it is on the 5th gear because of the Vpower's smooth delivery or WHAT!!...

Bro have the chance pump petronas 98 you can feel alot different...better then Vpower...this is bikers choice!... ask around~ If they are given to choose between petrols..

You should remember that our bike odometer readings are in miles so you need to convert it into KM by (multyplying) X1.6.

Jleo,myself and others have discuss about this matter before - it is quite reasonly only ~ please refer back for more information on this matter.(check page 127)

Me like to pump at our neighbour but lazy to go thru all the hassle to get passport stamped and waiting in the Q breathing in fumes from burning 2T's more then oxygen.

 

I pump locally my mileage is roughly around 175+/- miles uses 15.5 litres of octane 95 petrol mostly contribute to my riding habit usually maintain around 4200 to 4500rpm hitting around 70 to 90 km/h sometimes breaking the law for a short burst...I can get around 17.5 to 18 km/L...

recently I carried a bottle of "spare" petrol and then ride my bike until Bone-dry condition.

 

My riding style are of those conservative type. And usually I use Caltex's.

Usually I hit the 1/2 tank mark at 120miles.
