Daelim S3 fuel injection DOHC 125cc scooter

[clarencewkf2002]

Hey guys! Just saw the S3 Advance 250 at Toh Guan. It's really nice!

 

But the pillion seat is a bit small compared to my current Downtown 125i (like seating on a chair. Haha). How are your pillions finding their seat??

 

The floor storage is good for tissues I guess. Haha. Can't be locked.

 

150kph top speed is really tempting. Also, I dun like the colors available. Hmm. Gotta spend extra $350 respraying proper silver color (not the greyish type, which kinda makes the scoot look cheap IMO).

 

Hi topgearalwaysrock, where do you go for respraying bike - can you please share the contact. I am thinking of respraying my bike. Thanks!

Just finished my first wash and wax.. so nice to see the shine again after a long dusty week!

1hr 15mins of workout.. luckily the wax was easy to remove..

Hi WarForGe, I'm pretty new to waxing. Any recommendations? FYI, my bike is parked at a open carpark and I covered it everyday.

I'm also newbie.. first time wash and wax.

I work in construction industry so my bike is pretty much exposed to sand + mud + dust all the time.

 

Did abit of research and I've settled on the following, abit expensive products but outcome is better than when it came out of CKA:

 

Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner (1 litre - $19.xx @ Esso Bedok North)

http://www.autoglym.com/enGB/product-proddetail.asp?v06VQ=K&Range=1

 

Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 Liquid (0.5 litre - $36.xx @ Esso Bedok North)

http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g12718-nxt-generationreg-tech-waxreg-20/

 

 

I realised that Esso's pricing is cheaper than Giant Megamart pricing, although the range is rather limited. Some Esso don't have both products (e.g. Pasir Ris Elias Esso).

With weekly washing+wax, this setup should last me a good 1 yr++.

 

You'll also need:

a sponge/cloth for washing (shampoo)

a cloth to dry/absorb the water after wash

a wax applicator (round sponge-like thing) - this is given free is you buy NXT, which I boo-boo bought another 3 piece pack (some parts cannot reach, then I fedup use bare hands)

a microfibre cloth to remove/buff the wax after application

** I've bought a 3 piece Giant brand cloth ($3.95 I think), yellow (washing, for sponge hard to reach area) + blue (remove wax) + green (glass 1, but never use yet).

 

 

The shampoo-ing was quite straight forward. Splash water > bubble bubble shampoo (many bubbles but not much soapy feeling) > rinse water.

The waxing was quite a breeze. Apply sparingly all over (I actually applied everywhere except the seat, including my box. So far no damages yet.) > wait 1-2 mins > remove with microfibre cloth. Shiny kilat kilat with a smooth "coating" feel to it. Haven't kanar water yet so don't know if water will bead and run-off anot.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing your experience WarForGe! I have a bottle of Autoglym that I use to wash my car. Looks like I'd have to head over to Esso to grab the Meguiars wax liquid you have mentioned. Awesome post!

[WarForGe]

Taking bloody long to run in bike. Zzzzz.

[WarForGe]

@Adzz how many km already?

[hishouken]

WarForGe: 2,000km thereabouts only. 900km more to run.. Don't you guys find that to service the bike every 2,000km thereafter seems to be very fast. At my rate of 800km per month, it's 2.5 months for 1 servicing - 21.40 bucks.

Hi,

 

Where to view Daelim S3 scooter?

Then I jialat liao.. today is the 14th day of S3.. with 837km already..

I'm not sure about other bikes, but I've checked with my m'sia colleague who ride to SG everyday clocking around 120km daily, his Yamaha spark have to oil change every 2-3 weeks. That should come down to around the same millage..

 

Told my dad and uncle who've both ride for 3 decades about the oil change frequency, they said the duration and price is fine.

salah typo 837km not 873km

[topgearalwaysrock]

I currently do about 350km/week (pump 3 times/ 2 weeks). Monthly mileage can be as high as 1600km. I currently change my engine oil (mineral though) every 1500km. Will be pushing it up to 2000km cos of work. So to change oil every 2000km (for me is every month) is perfectly normal.

[Adzz]

I hope the every 2,000km servicing will be a short waiting time..

[hishouken]

My mileage after today is like 498.xx... Time for first servicing~ Alas I'm going KL tomorrow morning so servicing will be next weekend.

[WarForGe]

Just realised last night that my brake light got 2 LED spoil already..

Luckily my wife saw, while waiting for me to reverse my bike.

 

Gonna call Roy later see if 2 LED is covered for change anot.. since it's only 2 weeks old.. D;

[Adzz]

It should be!

[WarForGe]

Update:

Roy told me they will replace the entire back panel (brake light + signal light) for me, no charges.

He will also take a photo and send to Daelim Korea and inform them that there is such defects.
