just to correct u, no need waste so much money for nothing.

- Semi-syn 2000-3000km, fully-syn 5000-6000km. Depending on ur riding style and condition:cool:

- Lube when chain is dry, check after rain/washing if chain is dry

- chain can tahan at least 10000km, must lube and tighten and take gd care can liao.

 

...........super waste of money..........

mine now 8000km and its still going strong, can tahan another 5000km

 

haha, but since TS is new, there is another way to clear carbon wifout riding PM me if anyone wanna know(only for newbies)

First change the junk oil inside ASAP......

My friend brought a new R1 I told him to change oil and filter ASAP....

Ride to bike shop and 4km on the odo oil flowed out silver in colour.....

200km on the odo .....A bit better but still contains lots of metal fillings.....

I just cannot understand why people actually let those oil flows inside the engine for 1000km???

By the time the new bike reaches you oil filter clogged and oil full of metal fillings...

Can someone enlighten mi on that.......

My suggestion change oil and filter at 0km,200km,500km and 1000km using the cheapest oil u can find....

[Phang]

When I bought my W400 new, first thing I did when I reached home was changing the oil and the oil filter. The virgin oil has a bit of silvery dust in it. Subsequent oil and oil filter change at 500km and 1000km. After 1000km I stick to every 5000km

500km then change lah, but all up to u bah, different bike got different EO changing intervals for running in

[hachi]

I am not sure about other bikes....But for Suzuki GSXR series all of them go thought the dyno before shipping out to make sure is within spec.....So how to test it.....Not by idling of course.....Is full throttle applied and I am sure that's when all the run in occurred.....

I read from other forums.....In fact how you run in is not really important and the manufacturing process perfected over decades.....

I would is the oil that is inside......Minerals oils that helps to run in the components....

So I am looking at those crap oil and ask my friend why actually many people so concerned about how they run in rather than changing out all the craps inside....

Engine is the heart,oil is the blood and oil filer is the kidneys......

So when the kidneys is clogged...will the heart and blood be healthy......?????Well Everyone got a diff concept.......

Frequent oil change wouldnt spoil your bike......Simple as that...I also change my oil every 2000km or so....

haha, its a matter of u believe or not lor, just to give a hint, my friend new x1r i guide him on running in, now his bike is doing great.

u can change ur EO at 2000km, oil filter change every 3-4 EO change

ermm, i feel tat not neccesary to change so often, if u change semi-syn still acceptable, but if fully-syn change every 2000km, i feel its a waste.

Warning!!!!!! Dun use 2T lube ur chain:faint:

:)at last another fellow biker agrees wif me.

I seen alot of ppl posting about changing EO/spark plug every 1000-1500km, somemore can talk to me like macham very pro. If running in then different story.

Too much ppl monkey see monkey do, they dun really understand their bikes, they just listen and follow.

No offense to all bikers:cool:

u live which area? if u free i teach u lor

 

cos pple hav the thinking that parts need to replace often to avoid damage of bike or disappointment to the rider when he really need the ride..

but if u maintain the bike well wif proper knowledge, the parts will work well too..

for example, my bike chain on my bike for 2 years.. being for track, hatyai, malacca, transport bike in sg.. still doing fine..

In fact for my 11 years of riding and all my previous 12 bikes.....I only changed chain and sprockets once for RXZ which I have it 4 years....

All others I have it also when for track and touring as far as haytai.....

Even I sold it they are still in good condition...l..

[jingwen]

What bike are you riding....Sparkie????Then ok mah the price....

 

haha ya. but izit the recommended EO to use for run in?

wa, u also damn early eh. lol.

hope my parts also can last long long. so muz ask alot now.

[hachi]

In fact most chain can last 30000-40000km for O ring and OEM spockets...My friend's R1 and my R6 already 30000km still doing good.....I reckon can last another 10-20k KM....

Ya I change Silkoline cheap and good $10 semi syn oil......

SOmetime feels like it and will change fully syn cheesa oil.......

 

If you are riding small bike just dont change to those ARCHIPARA parts...like flower boy.....Lacing boy and some kuku brands Oversized rotors lah.....radial caliper all dotn know made of what ARCHIPARA materialsllll...........Many only looked pretty but made of lousy materials.....

In case of big bikes are diff...........

aniwae wad e diff wid x ring & o ring chain huh?

haha. achipara materials. lol.

[SparkerS1]

this is wat most forumers lack or dunno of:giddy:

wa lau y u muz hint hint me lidat, jus tell me la. haha.

aiyo, i dun anyhow share stuffs in SBF, i only guide, last time share liao kena shoot by noobs, then the noobs act smart, say bike shop say this bike shop say tat, kns, dunno my moto background still talk big

Many only looked pretty but made of lousy materials.....

In case of big bikes are diff.......

yeap, produced cheap for stylo look but dun serve the purpose.

big bikes damn sian, wanna change one gd brake rotor also cost $400++ each:faint:

i heard new bike shud use full syn izit true?

aniwae wad e diff wid x ring & o ring chain huh?

who u heard from? just get the EO tat is within ur budget, semi-syn also can ride mah, my friend can use semi-syn for 4000km then change also like tat.

for ur bike use DID heavy duty will do, dun anyhow waste ur money unless u got alot to spare then use O-ring chain lor

[kwanheng]

oh, so Silkoline is semi syn. i heard new bike shud use full syn izit true?

aniwae wad e diff wid x ring & o ring chain huh?

haha. achipara materials. lol.

 

full syn can go up to 5000km loh

semi syn can go up to 2500km i guess

and please don't use anything which is non syn.

x ring and o ring means the chain not so easy loose or break ie: you can do pop once in a while and the chain won't loose.

 

btw im riding sp using o ring, chain 7 months never touch up already and it still looks fine..

 

that is what i do hope it will help you.

X ring or O ring is aka maintenance-free chain..

there are oil seals present in the chain is to lock on the grease at every links..

the grease will lub and reduce the friction/shear forces acting on the links that wear the chain..

if the seal is spoil, the grease can no longer hold on the location and that particular link will onli work as a normal chain which need lub regularly..

 

To: TS, oil/lube the chain occasionally and after a ride in the rain. clean the chain wif kerosene/chain cleaner/diesel like once every 2/3 months. those sticky chain lub will attract debris and stick on the chain. prolong riding will provide the debris the chance to wear the seal off.. so alway hav to inspect the chain..

 

lub the chain in the proper way.. i notice alot like to use the shortcut method that dun serve any gd to the chain. search the forum for the rite method..

[SparkerS1]

wad is DID heavy duty?

 

heavy duty chain:cool:

[jingwen]

heavy duty chain:cool:

 

u mean change my chian to heavy duty chain? how much wher to change?
