normal engine oil won't really evaporate. great oils like 300v surely won't. the only two ways for the engine oil to disappear is either the oil get burnt off by the combustion, or get forced out of the engine through the engine breather

 

400+km... the distance should be too short to affect engine oil levels significantly

 

but to be sure, just check your engine oil levels

arhh ic. Think will do a proper engine oil lvl chck tml before riding to work. I just popped up and do cold engine oil lvl check today and find it too low. No white smoke so I assume the engine should be fine.

[CJP]

I have such engine oil problems too. I lose 200-300ml of oil every 500km. No white smoke no oil leaks, so its irritating that i got to top up the oil once in a while. Is it possible the oil is burnt off by combustion but because of small amounts, there is no white smoke?

 

And when fuel mixture is rich (not extremely rich), is it normal to have black smoke when i rev hard at neutral? Or is that black smoke from my EO? -_-"

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

The black smoke is unburnt fuel. Lots and lots of it!

My engine is hot enough that mineral and semi-syn won't cut it. Full synthetic (chex 9k) solved the oil consumption issue for good.

 

CJP isn't as "hot" as mine so something else is amiss

black smoke shouldn't be unburnt fuel. it should be burnt eo

 

water smoke is water

 

since phantom's exhaust has a catalyser, the exhaust is extremely hot. any petrol not burnt in the engine would be detonated in the exhaust pipe, resulting in a backfire

Burnt EO! interesting, we played with pureice68's bike and a plume of black smoke erupted! (that was a long long time ago, during hamster convoy training). His bike was super-over-rich at that time.

[CJP]

Vidak does make a point. However, I suspect its unburnt fuel for a reason. When i tune my fuel mixture lean and rev hard, there isn't any black smoke. Only when rich there is black smoke. But of course, that doesnt mean no EO is being burnt. The rate of EO dropping is quite low i assume. =)

Hi, got a question.

New brake pad need to run in?

keep having weird sound sometime even when i am not applying rear brake.

motortiam uncle say after a while should be okay liao.

[naim]

yep.. it takes some time for the pads to bed in into the disc... whenever u go to a bike shop, ask the mechanic to blast air at ur calipers.. brake dust accumulates alot during this period...

[raul7]

its normal. dont worry abt the slight screeching. just ride normally.

[Tycoon]

Thanks for the answer.

Okay this will sound like a damn stupid question but, what do I use to oil the chain?

[VidaK]

if you are using an oiler you can just use engine oil or gear oil... if you are not you should use chain lube instead...

Okay, second stupid question. What is an oiler? Is it a stock part or is it a mod? I highly doubt that I have an oiler though.

alamak, no such thing from motorcycle manufacturer...its an innovative idea by bikers to improve the life span of the chain, spocket, and engine performance. there are oiler system in aftermarket but very expensive.

 

if u need an oiler, go see ezzyoiler thread under "the clinic", his oiler system is DIY and he will be proud to show you his better one now as compared to his protol type one. go check with him for his updated DIY oiler system.

I sometimes ride only once a week. Then it becomes very difficult to start the bike.

maybe you can disconnect the battery everytime you park your bike

 

or go ebay look for battery charger

 

normally charger is AC supply, in other words, you have to remove your battery from bike and bring home or wherever you get power supply for your charger.

....well it look like you have a weak battery or a leaky system..

..start your bike every now and then and revive your battery...but need time

....the best is get a trickle charger that will keep your bike in tip top condtions..but you need acess to power supplies..many diff type. it cost $10 or so to hundreds. the range is very wide.

...disconnecting your battery...is also another alternatives..

 

so u see bike collectors like yourself need to prepare the bikes for riding when you take them out..

no choice one.....
