u book in liao??

WildCard · May 16, 2004

Seriously guys...

as much as I love my TLR now, feeling the pain now.

New gearbox, new bearings and chain-sprocket set. Now, new tyres....

Petrol burning up RM20 every 2-3 days.

At my current salary, really giving me bits of headache.

See how this Dec when my contract ends. Hopefully my new job will either be nearer (save petrol) or higher pay (more $$$)

Time will tell.....

Hopefully I wun oso.

But in the meanwhile, its a blast riding her.

See how lah. Really feeling the pinch slowly now. If it weren't for the low installment ($188 per month).....

hopefully, things are gonna be better these next few months. I got a new freelance job that'll only take a day per week of my time and earns me enuff to pay for the installments. Hopefully tat'll help with my marriage savings...

sigh. hope I can get near my target by June 06

great to hear that dude

i aso hope that u will survie thru these months coz things will definately grow better esp when u are working towards ur target

kish_garfield · May 16, 2004

hey 1 advice is dont go to malaysia to pump. cause or unless ur tank is bloody big or consumption not higher. i have calculated. covering too much extra miles n not worth the trouble. as much as i want to go over there too. sigh

my sg petrol is 100 plus per month n i am a nsf!!! fish right

sigh

thats why

since i bought the bike 1k went to it doing up n changing stuff

but it gave me wonderfull miles

WildCard · May 16, 2004

I dunno....

Tuas is nearer to my house.

So its not tat too far compared to JB.

The amt of savings is apparent. Imagine this:

I spent abt nearly RM200+ or ard SGD100++ on petrol alone tis month. If I pump in SG all the way translate that to pumping in S'pore would be like SGD200++. Tats like my entire allowance for the month.

But i still dun get it. My mileage is still ard 190-200 before actual (solid light) reserve. Is it correct? I've toned down my riding and somewhat improved it. But it still feels not enuff.

Maybe a list of things to do:

1. FI cleaner?

2. FI remap?

3. Stock sprocket sizes (somewat done coz i'm using 17-40 combination on a stock 530 chain, not 520 as earlier done by previous owner)

Oso maybe coz I pillion my gf ard a lot and she's kinda on the heavy side?

You cannot calculate like that. Cos if you pump in Sg, you would not need the extra miles to and fro to GP. So you may not necessarily pump the same dollar amount.

yeah i agree with you.but other factors such as makan,cigrette and distance to be covered have to be taken into consideration too

Reddy, true but depends a bit lah.

From GP Esso on exit side to my house is abt 25km. So consider-wise, not so bad. It would be different if I stay further up (Queenstown and up). I dun smoke but I bring my fiance there for dinner regularly coz she eats dinner out everyday (no one at home).

Relatively I save quite an amt. But, still, looking for ways to reduce it....

Just count me as cheapo. hehehhehe...

See ah... you pump about $200RM... so that's about 12 trips per month?

To and Fro, 25km X 2, = 50km.

50kmX12 = 600km.

Assuming 600km roughly translates to $50RM, Means your actual NECESSARY usage is only $150RM.

Meaning if u pump singapore, will be around SGD$150. Minus SGD$12 saved in toll fees. $138.

You are currently spending RM$200, which roughly translates to SGD$100.

Meaning for all this trouble, you are only saving $38 per month.

Opportunity costs???...
