pingster, how much of the STP Engine oil additive ya put btw another additive i oso use is petrol treatment n can put a bit if too much ya engine wont start one....hehehe!

i put only 1/5 to 1/4 of the can, not much.

problem is every morning, my idling speed seem to be lower den normal.

have to heat up for a while den it will return to normal idling speed.

actually pulling the choke also didnt help, need to either adjust the idling speed higher or start and open throttle a bit.....

[pingster]

how come all visual's posts seem to be gone???

[daystar_70]

huh?? not all lah....btw, seem like the recent ones gone only lah.....maybe he deleted before he left for the trip to avoid further discussion into the matter.....

 

:giddy:

 

need not read too much into this...

 

Cheers

[pingster]

[daystar_70]

btw wat daniyal says is true abt fully synthetic n wat i mentioned earlier in prevoius post fully cares more for ya engine rather than semi k...cheers mate!

 

smicerboy will u be organising trip up to jb where we all can pump cheap petrol, makan, jalan abit cuz me everyday work very sian liao...hehehe! i dun mind tagging the vara 1k moreover alot of them i have yet to meet too...like baghera, vara...etc too many to mention....enjoys....!

 

ltc how to register the forum name...blur liao? i mean on to the list cuz i got 2 more 125 joining us all soon if they manage to find the bike fast...hehehehe!

U use quote and U cut out the whole chunk and paste to ur reply portion then just type in ur nick.

 

Dun have to own a vara to be in this thread. I'm sure ur friends are welcome as long as enthusiast. They can also learn more before getting their bike. More beneficiary for them.

my high windscreen $150 from motor world came with the bike but i oso got the original short one, well the 1st owner is a girl now she is riding fazer 1k wif side pannier looks damn great ah....hehehe!

 

abt windscreen buy MRA bubble cuz more durable n 1 more brand i 4got the name i tink ya one bought by vara1984 is not good one liao or cheap one....no offence cuz my bike is 2yrs plus the screen still good one...hehehe!

 

today petro; 10% discount islandwide i juz pumped...daystar, pingster maybe we can go for short trips to jb to makan n pump petrol.....abatorry, al-simmons, simone & others.........smicerboy gather up all the VARA riders...!

 

viscosity is temperature for ya engine....if the weather hot so the viscosity a bit colder so engine wont over heat but euro country weather cold so hotter viscosity needed to mantain engine heat or it will die off one liao...

[pingster]

fr vara84, the windscreen cost abt #2-3 hundred plus

the crac is cost by me trying to lock the handle bar, cos my handle bar is wide 1, cant really lock. when trying to lock, the handle will have some pressure excerted to the windscreen, that how the crack comes fr.

 

as for petrol, ytdae i juz pump @ 5% in the morning, den in the evening i realise it had gone up to 10%....

Pro-dero >> Next time if u go overseas , dun be surprised to see that some of their dero also got our logo on it. hahahah Not that much but a handful did purchase our decal and polo tees... and they have shown extreme support by showing interest in our stuff. They have to pay basic cost of polo tee and freight. One paid up to usd 46 for 2 polo tees to be send to him @ holland.

 

btw viscosity refers to the thickness of oil at various temp. Oil is thinner, fluid like .. imagine something like water, at high temp. Thicker at low temp .. imagine thick mushroom soup kekekke....

 

I believe our bikes are long stroke bikes, hence we need thicker oil (i.e. semi syn) for our engine... as the oil is thicker ,so time it stays on the cylinder wall is longer so lubrication is better... if its fully syn, its thinner so it would not stay on the wall too long .. thus it would not achieve optimum lub ..

semi syn and mineral oil would take a longer time and harder to heat up, therefore its thick even at high temp

vara yesterday i saw a vespa dude wif our decal on it ya know.....we are so hot man....hehehe! like sg bikers idol oredi liao

 

got 1 vara fixed up front fender real nice but i check out at ubi ktm shop too long n motor world sucks service, my fren said got 1 shop at eunos 1st motor the name i tink sells it n he fixed up on his AT damn nice man abt $50 onwards.

 

pingster i tink ya fixed up ya original short screen rather den waste on expensive screens which get in the way of ya handle bar den use the money to save up for ya dream varadero 1000 pgm fi...confrim shiok big time man....ya staying in the east rite? maybe we can go jb pump next time?

 

al-simmons ya wanna go to jb too ya house is juz a stone throw away from mine but rarely see u since i last help ya bike accident repair laio...hehehehe!

[Varas]

is the vespa #100? gold color?

if it is , its mine hahaha

my buddy ( also riding varadero ) taking care of it for me.

 

btw I am varas , not VARA kekekeke, VARA is club name...hahaha surely u guys would not wanna be in a club under my nick ... hehehe

[pingster]

Prodero,

actually its my wide handle bar that obstruct the locking

but i prefer high windscreen, also dunno why

mayb got use to it liao.

btw wat petrol u use? V-power i assumed cos think heard u saying b4

but i personally feel that 98 more suitable for my bike, can feel the different when i pump 98 and v-power.

 

Varas,

so can i say for V-Twin 4 stroke bike, semi-sync is more suitable.

actually that wat some website recommend for touring bike.

cos after i change my engine oil to full sync, i got little problem starting up, dunno whether izzit related to the oil. anyway juz ordered fuchs semi-sync comp4, mayb can see whether is there any different when change to it.
