checkup??

check what?

after riding to/from work, there's a strong petrol smell after i stop my engine, especially when i lift the seat to take my stuffs

 

called boon siew n they say its better to check, maybe somewhere loose or leaking

oh you use to complain about that.

anyway did you check the leakage of engine oil?

i believe it a common problem.

anyway i believe you need to put your bike there and check.

perhaps it would take 1 day

Hi guys here. S Wingers here kept mentioning about looi's quite a lot.

Is this shop very popular with S Wingers? Is it a good place to get the SW

maintained? How's their pricing and where is this shop located?

 

Do you guys knows of any other shops that services and are popular with SW?

if you check boon siew's webby (http://www.boonsiewhonda.com.sg/), you will find contacts/addresses of their authorised dealers... looi's is one of them

 

wouldn't say its the best, but its one that's easy to deal with and price quotes are reasonable... not the lowest though

 

if you go for price, bike production quotes among the lowest price... but you must have patience to sum up all the "add-ables". their OTR is not the same as other shops' OTR

some of SWingers here bought from BP recently, they can tell you more

ya lor... it went away, now its back

andrew said it'll take time coz they may need to dismantle some parts for access

yup... also checked for eo leakage, no leak. only my pocket leaking

Hi scoobydoo. The 1 year or 10K km warranty izzit from shop or Boon Siew? Because I got this SW brochure from Boon Siew saying that the warranty is "12 MTHS UNLIMITED WARRANTY MILEAGE."

They also states "Insist on Honda Warranty Card from your dealer or receive 3 months additional warranty if registered online."

And you mean warranty can be voided if "mods"? Put alarm also cannot? If I wanna change the horn to a louder one also can void warranty?

:giddy:

 

 

Definition from Principle giving warranty.

Any kind of mod involving removing and staff. Electrical parts modification. Voids the warranty indefinitely. Meaning within the Warranty period. Change your EO, plugs, Oil filter & Air filter at most.

Unless the horns are from Boon Siew show room where you order and install there. They will not honor any external modification to your ride.....

[Kris Rider]

Dont want to say "i told you so" but if you read the fine print on the warranty then even fitting of 'Bread Box' by outside supplier will negate the warranty.

 

So the best way is dont do ANY mods or additions till after the warranty.

 

There apparently was a case where someone used a SPLITFIRE plug in his new bike and when the whole electrical system shorted out the warranty was negated on the grounds that he did not use 'Recommended' plug.

 

Even other makes have same restrictions - so beware !!! Unless of course you have "KAKI NANG" connections with the agents.

[anodise57]

Unless your dad owns the bike shop.. if not ... DON GEH KIANG......

Kaki Nang... Kris.. u teochew ah.. mhahahahhhaa

today finally i get my SW out from Looi's, will like to share some my feels for the 1st 36km feel...

 

1st stop was to go to SPC bedok and get the tank fill up... during the journey was a little too careful as not very used to SW... so i decided go for a short cruise along ECP to have lunch at fav. beach Rd.

 

during the journey was really enjoyable... never did i know that SW was so silent ( i wearing full face ) and smooth, i almost tok am i riding a hybrid bike instead.. weather was hot but realised that this SW dont really get over heat as easily as class 2 bike.. hmm not bad after all.

 

2nd challange came in as i remember from reviews that the main stand was difficult so i give it a try... positive again, it wasn't that difficut after all.

 

after lunch heading back home, try the tyres ( run in a little more effort ) and performerances, realised that despite SW was heavy and big in size... actually it was quite nimble regardless of big/small corner , that was 2 time i almost being control by SW as in during corners SW tendercy to go even lower position but i need to lift it up by adding more acceleration, its easy to counter back too...

 

To summary up, my apologised if it sound 'kwah zhang' & also poor english but what i trying to say is SilverWing is a great bike for me to own... or rather it is as gd as what reviews been written down here.

 

Thank u for ur patient to read up what i have written...

Security System

 

Another noticable difference between the Euro and Jap model is the ignition security system.
