Hi Modstar,

 

Personally i re-pump my tyre every 2 weeks.

I'm not sure what's the recommended dose of times though... Some bro said its every 500km, etc...

 

But i stick to every 2 weeks as i'm a heavy user.. haha

 

Coolant need not top up regularly, just ask the mechanic to top up or check during your full service every 12000km (recommended).

bro, re-pump your tyres every 2 weeks is ok but remember , try to do it before your tyres start heating up as it will allows you to have a more accurate air pressure.

 

and as for the coolant..do i need to top it up regularly?

 

Coolant - Think Sensible X8 misunderstood what was told to him - I will not reccommend that you only check or top up every 12k as there are situations where evaporation happen by weather and heat of bike.

 

hence , it would be recommended that you check at least every 2 months for the coolant level.

 

Coolant flushing is recommended every 12k......think that's what it was meant to be told to sensible X8.

 

Last but not least - Voltmeter - commonly found in car accessories shops. of cos some bike shops sell too. if you want to get one, you can go LAB to get too.....

 

installation wise , i will not reccommend you DIY unless you know the bike wiring well...

Hi firestorm, thanks for adding on!

Hi peeps,

 

Voltmeter is a must for our kind of bikes as it keeps us aware of our battery status.

 

Had 2 bad experiences when my bike couldn't start, i did not fixed my voltmeter yet at that time..

Had to spent money to tow my bike in for the 1st time,

 

The 2nd time happened at the carpark of Raffles Shopping mall.

Bike couldn't start, and that was a few hours prior to the Spooky ride organised by disar and co.

Talk about "spooky" indeed!

Called disar and beachboyz for help. Again very lucky that they were nearby, managed to get me a jumpstart cable from ah boy. that saved me some $$ from paying the towing fee.

Went down to Ah Boy and immediately changed to a dry cell batt.

 

Haha.. I have kept the jumpstart cable in-case of emergency and have even played mechanic once to my friend's x8 which couldn't start due to batt problem.

no worries bro....

 

btw add on to what i said, ;

 

check coolant level every 2months - if you find that your level is getting low, just top up with water can liao...... untill you flush coolant then change new coolant.....

 

understand from Dr ponytail that if we add coolant instead of flushing it, can also but will have the "dirt" accumlate inside..... also won't know if the radiator become rusty anot.....

 

beside that for those guys who prefer add coolant, adding "concentrated" coolant will also spolit the metal plates (corrodes) henceforth you must know if it's concentrated type or diluted type before adding coolant.........
