I'll probably drop by a little later and bring my Scooter books along so that everyone can take a look.

 

Just went for my 1st year servicing and did some routine maintenance, changed the oil and spark plug. Now my scooter felt like brand new again! The new spark plug makes a HUGE difference, the engine, starts easily and I have better power and acceleration.

 

Update!

 

Heh heh, I just realized that I'm the "Bro" that ackl is referring to. Alright man I'll definitely drop by tonight. I forgot to bring my books to work today, so I'll have to go home and pick them up.

I went to PSC for my servicing, they just replaced my old spark plug with a new one. It's the same model the Champion RG6YC. Now my motor feels more "punchy" and very responsive. Since it's only $11(before GST) for the spark plug, I'll probably do more regular spark plug changes myself. Besides the sparkplug, my Engine Oil and Oil filter is replaced.

My old spark plug has taken a beating after one year. You can see that the gap between the electrodes have grown and one of the electrodes head has shrunk a little. There's also some carbon deposits, but overall it is still in working condition. I didn't request for a change, but it was based on the mechanic's decision which I think is good for me anyway.

 

My old spark plug came together with the scooter when I bought it. I'm the first owner. My mileage (hmmm shouldn't it be kilometage?) is more than 9K. The scooter still runs fine but when after changing the spark plug to a new one, I noticed a significant change in the engine's performance. I can accelerate faster, the engines starts easier and has more kick and punch in it. Before that I can't really tell as my scooter has been running with the same spark plug for the past year, I didn't really notice the loss of responsiveness, guess I got used to it over time. I think the decision to change the spark plug depends on your riding habit. Now that I know how to change it myself, I probably will do regular checks every couple of months and since each plug is only $11, it's a good idea to change it if you want to maintain proper combustion of the air fuel mixture.

 

From my experience I guess it's possible for a sparkplug to last 1 year if you ride like me. My average riding speed is around 60-70km/h for streets and small roads, on the highway 80-90km/h, I will occasionally hit 110km/h while going down slope on the highway, but for only a few seconds. Oh yeah, I also don't like to rev my engine. Just a few days ago I saw a couple of young fellas at the traffic light junction reving their Honda Waves loudly and zooming off after the light changed to green as if they are in some MotoGP. Since the X8 doesn't have gears, I tend to throttle very gradually, unless in an emergency when I need that extra boost, then I'll twist the throttle a little more aggressively, but I tend to be very gentle and gradual with my throttle control.

My fuel consumption is estimated to be between 22 and 25km/l. It's not a good figure but I guess that's because I'm always carrying stuff in my back storage. I also I'm quite heavy myself at 85kg.

 

I paid about $79 in total before GST, I don't have the receipt with me now but it goes something like this -

Service charge $25

Sparkplug - $11

Synthetic Engine Oil -$25

Oil Filter - $18

 

And guys, may I humbly request that you don't compare the prices with other establishments. I'm very happy with the service PSC has provided and I'm sure everyone here has their favourite service provider. :thumb:

Hey firestorm_33, no problem man, I didn't misunderstand you at all :) , I just don't want to be responsible for leading this thread into about who's better than who. I mean we can still share costs and service quality from different establishments, but I think we should leave the bashing out or at least discreetly through PMs. :cheeky:
