…some tell tale signs, loss of compression ( power / torque), persistent high running temperature, oil in coolant or vice versa. coolant odour and pressure / level drop. external leak sometimes hard to detect (evaporates under hot engine).

hi bro thanks for ur kind concern, but most of the time I ride on the right lane, as I dont wanna lag behind slow moving cars, I am learing to squeez thro the cars in between the 1st and 2nd lane. Do u guyz feel hard to squeez in between the vehicals coz of Vara's size....? many of my friends havin small bikes say this is a disadvantage in Vara,,. some ppl mock at me, and I feel so bad. they say, Vara size only big and no speed, I wish Vara is 200cc.

 

any guys, anyone use Shell V-power for Vara, can the bike take it. this wont hurt the engine rite...?

 

Is there any other type of petrol which is same performance as V-power...?

 

thank u

Chander_vr

 

 

abt right lane its juz a courtesy to implente if u gonna ride or drive slow, but some ppl r selfish to road hog all the way.

 

regards to squeezing i can still squeeze thru CTE 9AM jams wif my 40 litre givi side box, but alot ezier wif my m4 cuz its smaller, but u riding must accrording to the bike u ride loh..

 

for 2 yrs i ride i only use v-power at jb, dun realli bother abt mileage or wat ppl say as long as its not as ex $ as sg petrol is gd enuf 4me...

 

 

visual

 

 

my svc chart for ya guide:

 

1. engine oil change 5000km

2. oil filter 10000km

3. brake pads & spark plugs 15000km or 6 mth which ever is sooner

4. clutch cable, tires & battery annually atleast.

5. headlite bulbs blown or every 8mth or so it lasted for me m5 phoenix halogen 35 watts 12 volt $8 a pair at ah boy

 

 

hope tis helps happy riding

Gilera's new Runner 200

After its total revamp of the 125 and 50cc versions of the Runner last year, Gilera has updated the big 200cc Runner to the latest spec.

As well as the restyle the new VXR200 gets a totally redesigned frame and bigger wheels to massively improve the handling and two-piston disc brakes to make sure it’s got the stopping power as well.

The scooter will be available in grey and black and is in Gilera dealers now for £2,699 (SGD $6k+ otr??) including a two-year warranty, one-year free roadside assistance and immobiliser as standard.
