Shell expensive, low mileage, Petronas and the rest are cheap and good, Even my GSR only prefer 95 Octane fuel....

Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see farther.

o.o didnt know shell is expensive, tot caltex more ex?

 

shell is "more expensive" because we are comparing primax 95 (95 ron petrol) with v-power (97 ron petrol)...

 

as for singapore petrol... I always pump caltex because it is the cheapest... provided that you have a safra card... just topped up another 0.5 litres before I came back home... :cheeky:

Maybe its the crankshaft ball bearing. A lot of labour to replace those.

TS, you need to tell us what ball bearing you are getting quoted to change.

 

ouh. I was qouted at planet. The mech just told me that the wheel ball bearings must change. didnt asked further cos wanted to ask in the forum what it was all about. all i know is that when i change gear, the wheel feel a slight wobble abit, and got this rotary sound whenever the wheels turn at the back. =)

hmmm... planet's recommendations are usually good... maybe you can ask ah chong to list down the different servicing and parts that your bike need...? :smile:

changing of wide handle bar doesnt take long.

less thn an hour, cost wld be less thn 100..

i got mine at 80, xxelimxx got his at er i forgot..

can you just change th handlebar itself without changing othr stuff not even th cables.

 

The $100 include the bar or just the service charge? I'm changing fm a wide to a stock....

100 wrap moutain wrap sea, bao sua bao hai, bao ka liao.

your whole handlebar price plus labour, all counted into th 100. with change..

a wide t stock, perhaps you can get one nd change it yourself. or maybe i can help. :cheeky:
