hmmm... I shall try esso's pump in the future... yea I frequent caltex... the pump is so easy to use (errr... only front tyre...)

 

the sidebox isn't in the way... oh well... either way I just pumped the tyre at planet, so its ok for now

 

esso's pump, shells's pump, spc's pump, all same wat.

 

only caltex pump is using hose straight to the valve.

 

And if i nv remember wrongly, rear tyre valve is about horizontal position + - a bit.

[Hydher]

I often frequent esso.

 

I think went to shell before but not to sure.

 

caltex not rear tyre friendly.

 

Spc didnt try.

Question here: bike inspection.

My inspection will in expire in August 27. If I go to inspect now in July, will they put today's date on the inspection sheet? That means, next year, i need inspection in July?

Or they will keep the same August 27 on the sheet, whenever you get inspection within the 3 months?

[thenation]

Same date every year.

[ericlim]

overhaul how much will it course??

change my whole gear box how much??

any shop is good n cheap..thanks (:

[protecter1]

Same date every year.

 

Well, I went there for inspection and they put today's day July 25th, 2009 on the inpection certificate.

This means that I need to go for inspection one month earlier than I should be.

It is unfair.

Dear TS,

 

Would you elaborate the above mention query is for which bike?

TA150 or 200?

&, one advice: "Cheap may not be good; Good may not be cheap."

Adivsable to dropby Planet for a diagnose also.

hahaha , i wondered the same question when i first started out too !

 

There is no difference , as the whole fuel tank is just 1 tank , "reserve" is just a fancy name for saying the tank is only left with 2+L .... but its a good habit to always put back to "ON" after refuelling so you will know when you are running out of fuel again.

[jtzx]

pump to the brim!

hey, there is no such thing as a noob question as long as it is serious... everyone was a "noob" once

 

yea zhi ming said it... the valve doesn't affect the fuel capacity...

 

here is a very important tip regarding reserve "tank" :

 

learn to calculate your fuel consumption (FC), as sometimes continuous riding can actually drink petrol from the reserve portion despite that the reserve is not activated yet... it happened to me once... and obviously... resulted in a dreadful push to the nearest petrol station...

 

moral of the story... dun rely too heavily on your reserve valve!

[VidaK]

pump to the brim!

 

dun forget to shake tank!

[jtzx]

yea... shake shake this friday vidak?

[VidaK]
