Kawa krr maintance (2stroke)

[weejianle]

Hi brosss, Just got a 2nd Hand Krr

 

How do i maintain, change oil on this bike?

I need 2T oil. What about coolant and engine oil??

 

What is the thing i need to take note of?

 

I tried to search on wed but i realise ppl seldom talk about Krr and different machines varies on their maintance..

 

KRR's RIDER Help plzz.

 

Thanks =)

lol, you can go to our KRR thread, there are alot of KR riders around.

 

Remember to do your servicing regularly to avoid power loss and other problems. Where to do, you have to ask and decide yourself. good luck!

2t oil most recommend is motul 710. u can get from planet @ $22 bucks. den nxt is de engine oil. most recommend is motul 300v (forgot le, correct me if i'm wrong). also can get frm planet. den nxt is de spark plug. if got go jb, go ks n get their $15rm spark plug - g-power (forgot de brand oso le, correct me if i'm wrong) if not get frm planet oso at $5 for a normal spark plug. tt wad i did for my bike. lolx. as wad advocate mention, u can come visit de krr thread. all the expert there will guide u.

Coolant depends on your budget.. Some people prefer low price, that's green in colour.. Mid range will be maxims(dunno the actual brand) High range will be Engine ice.. blue..

 

Ok to further explain your machine..

 

normal condition, normal riding.. No high rev daily High rev means RPM 7+ Max RPM 5~6 Every 3~6months go for normal servicing.. yearly go for full service should be ok.. can drag abit longer.. depends on yourself.. and your budget as well..

 

extreme riding.. High rev daily, can hit RPM 10 daily.. "recommended" every 3~6 months full service.. monthly basic service..

 

Basic - change spark plug and EO

Full - change spark plug/EO/coolant*only the front* behind still remains..

Wash carb/block/piston/piston ring, check conrod/engine condition.

overhaul - all above plus checking and cleaning of all your gears, clutch plates / internal engine bearings.

 

Wear and tear- wheel bearing/swing arm bearings/chain/spocket/clutch cable/fuel line*throttle/speedo cable/rpm cable/leds or bulb*headlight,signal light burst.

 

Still alot more.. check out the website on this hands-on or go to kawa website..

Yup.. 2T is 710 and EO is 300v Spark Plug, either get normal ones $5 or slight better at $12~$15, dun get those extreme one as they will got holes on your piston.. seen those piston before..

Thanks bro

 

Anyway, i got this coolant antifreeze from shell.. wonder if it suitable.

It light purple in colour and i heard from some others saying that car coolant shldn't be use on motor.

Coolant depends on your budget.. Some people prefer low price, that's green in colour.. Mid range will be maxims(dunno the actual brand) High range will be Engine ice.. blue..

is range based on the how ex is the product instead of the quality and spec of the product?

Ok to further explain your machine..

 

normal condition, normal riding.. No high rev daily High rev means RPM 7+ Max RPM 5~6 Every 3~6months go for normal servicing.. yearly go for full service should be ok.. can drag abit longer.. depends on yourself.. and your budget as well..

this method will cause carbon to build up at the valve area.. after some time the valve will get start and have problem over 7 RPM. is better to high rev occasionally.

extreme riding.. High rev daily, can hit RPM 10 daily.. "recommended" every 3~6 months full service.. monthly basic service..

 

Basic - change spark plug and EO

Full - change spark plug/EO/coolant*only the front* behind still remains..

wat u mean by front onli?? as in coolant reservoir not need to change?

overhaul - all above plus checking and cleaning of all your gears, clutch plates / internal engine bearings.

include valve cleaning too

 

Wear and tear- wheel bearing/swing arm bearings/chain/spocket/clutch cable/fuel line*throttle/speedo cable/rpm cable/leds or bulb*headlight,signal light burst.

juz my 2 cents..

not really the amount, btw, you should be more pro than me? lolx... year 2002. that's 8 years of experience...

Coolant - u mention mid range, high range.. and the categories u place the brand seem to due to cost..

coolant reservoir - the bike shop dun change cos they lazy.. cos have to take the tube connect to rad off.. extra work.. but actually there is a need to clean the reservoir too..

lolx..

 

ok.. let me explain as of wat i heard from bike shops..

 

green : cool down engine at a normal rate.. temp hard to go up and also hard to go down

Pink: cool down engine at a "faster" rate but temp also go up slightly faster abit..

Blue: temp go down fastest.. go up at normal rate*that's a feedback from one of the forumers..

 

Oic.. okok.. will change the reservoir when i'm free..

kk..

but regarding the temp climb/fall rate, dun get misleaded..

oooo.. so it is?

 

fast up, fast down? (heard from bike shops)

slow up,fast down? (heard from forumers)

 

Fast up,fast down, (I feel)

[InsaneDealer]

there got kr thread to learn

[choke]

coolant don't have to worry, just check once in awhile make sure if it's enough or when your temperature tends to go high.

 

Engine oil - every 3000km should be fine.

 

2T - Check it every week and top up would be the best and safest

Fast up,fast down, (I feel)

 

a material have its own thermal conductivity..

it is based on the amount of heat energy needed to increase its temp..

too troublesome to explain all the science terms..

in short, the temp increase/decrease is based on that..

even thou there is a bit diff in thermal conductivity when gaining heat energy and losing heat energy, the diff is not very great..

u mention the slow up and fast down (from forumers) is juz feeling.. not scientific facts..

Erm... the one I am using for racing is almost blackish when first poured fresh out of the container.. oily to touch. A German product that has lubricant added to it to lubricate the water pump and its seals.

 

If according to that bike shop....green, pink and blue colour describe the thermal efficiency characteristics of the coolant, I really would like to know blackish colour coolant means what??
