i changed myself.. using motul dat i bought in jb.

but i haven't change gear oil, cos not cheap lo..

i went to source and bought royal purple gear oil 75W-140 as its cheap, $23 for 1L.

tonite will try to change myself.

 

another thing i wish to ask everyone is dat whether can use car engine oil anot? cos its cheaper by buying a 4L than

buying small bottles. thinking of trying out.. with some engine treatment as well..

Hi Craig,

I check the manual it says 85w140 for the transmission oil...

 

Anyways, which fully syn oil is the best?

 

I am confused with so many brands la:

 

Motul

Maxima

Mobil 1

X-REV

etc...

You won't go wrong with either the Maxima Extra 10W40 or the Motul 7100.

Both are similar in performance but maybe the 7100 feels a bit heavier that's all.

10W50 EO might be too heavy for normal bikes. It is mainly for high performance race bikes or if riding temperature is above 40 degrees (atmospheric).

 

Me use Maxima for years and it's good for 6k-8k service range.

Thanks I will use the Maxima 10w40 Fully Syn in my next oil change

[etkach3]

Who's Black Maxsym 400i i spotted at Kolam Ayer CC just now??lol

[limkim]

Just change my engine oil at M1 Motor, its free cos I bought during the promotion. Change to semi syn one cos still running in. Will change again in another 800km.

 

Also got my Coocase box, very good box indeed. I forgotten to pay for the box as it is going to rain and the salesman is very nice and allow me to pay next time.

[2992]

Changed EO and Oil filter at 200km. Engine seems to run alot smoother. Yes I am a wuss and have yet clocked 500km........

 

Observations......

80km/h @ 4000RPM

100km/h @ 5100RPM

 

Does anyone know the part number for the oil filter rubber O ring? My mech suggest me to stock up a few myself and change the Oil ring after every 3-4 servicing cos the it might get worn out by then and lose it's sealing features.

 

Cheers and ride safe.

[limkim]

For my case, I dont feel any different after changing engine oil maybe i changed to semi syn one.

 

80km/h @ 4500RPM

100km/h @ never hit 100 before.

Spark plug on the left side. Access by taking the front part where the petrol compartment, at the seat front got screw.
