That is a lock washer. It is use to lock your screw it incase it come loose. some people will call it spring washer. Also easy to unscrew the screw and protect the hole. Hope this help

yeah, & it's alumimium washer (softer), nut can really bite & firm.......no leaks..

I heard from some people say castrol better as it is thinner, some say repsol better cos oil thinner also.. so which is which?

[mnemonic]

Just wondering wat brand of engine oil u guys used for ur s4???I'm currently using Motul but is there any other brands which is good??

[Gixxer Lee]

Motul i'm using it for my bike also. Is it to hot for S4? Instead of using 10/40 try use 15/40. Or u can try silkeone

[s_hyper]

[mnemonic]

[learner22]

[ekin101]

I'm still using Total 4T from carrefour. But seems like they upz the price again from $4.3 to $4.7.

Since we are talking abt engine oil, just wanna tell u all guy out there that AS phoon changi is now using 4t brand "honda". went there intending to change to esso pace(my super 4 is a old bike) but instead saw them pouring this "honda" thing into my bike...i admit i have my fault for not asking before hand so i dun blame them but to all out there this "honda" engine oil SUCKKKKKKKKKKKK...

 

it cost me the same price as the esso pace somemore i stupid go change at AS phoon for they charge GST too should go to some ah pek shop and change no GST , Got the good that i wanted and somemore believe to be cheaper...

 

this just serve as a personel opinion abt the engine oil...maybe someone out there using this brand love it...god knows

I used repsol 10/50 b4, is good. But now using esso gold 10/50. Is also good. Diff with repsol is that, about 3000km the kicking of gear is hard liao, where else esso gold 3800km then start difficult to kick. esso gold is smooth the engine.

I went KL twice using repsol and esso gold, both compare esso gold is better cause is not that hot....

[K.Sim]

I recommend u guys to try royal purple. its been mentioned a few times in this forum, pls do a search on where to get it. i used it for 2 cycles now.....about 8000km liao no probs, smoothness lasts for quite long 4000-5000 still smooth,engine not hot, oil level doesn't drop like the other oils i used, bottle doesn't say semi syn. only states synthetic motor oil. presume its fully syn. Pls correct me on this if i'm wrong. Worth trying.

I am now using it. Cheapest fully syn and change every 6 months good and worth it.

$10 per quart

Now dont know how much.

I guess anything that is fully syn is good for our bike.
