adrian's one is the most funny one i think...

 

he initially wanted to change plugs only... then in the end...

 

but i think its money well spent lah since he's keen on touring and always craving for speed... haha... like what that ah bee said "sometimes little little problem you don't spend money to rectify then when big problem come then you cry" (direct translation)

 

also "if you want a Good horse then you have to feed it with good Grass... "

haha.. wat to do? .. but i find wat they say a little true la. cos once in a very long while then go bike shop ma. then do up swee liao can last another beri long while..

[alpha82]

think u muz noe wat to do there la. certain things will be cheaper in certain shops ma.. like hkl eo and tyres r cheap.. so far, i find most stuff quite cheap oso.. if u buying aftermarket products, maybe elsewhere cheaper? cos hkl like beri down-to-earth type of mechs.. they juz noe how to do up bikes quite well lor.. but other than tat i'm not too sure leh..

[alpha82]

Adrian:

 

haa, true.

 

but i don't trust the mechs there...

 

they might be down-to-earth, but they also "ai mai ai mai" one. i definitely won't trust them with my bike if i'm to leave it there overnight...

 

furthermore, the mechs there can give u a totally different price from what ah bee tells u. things there are cheap if u buy and diy. otherwise, they will jack up the price attributing it to quality workmanship. *chuckle*

 

if it didn't happen to you, then i must say you're lucky man...

 

Zlord:

 

i want to know whatt u did man~ u got more power and speed?

how much did everything cost?

mine oso can!!

 

wash carb

reset jet pin

tuning

change jet fluid

change CCT aka Cam Chain Tensioner

change spark plug (Actually suppose to be only this..)

top up coolant (free)

change rear brakepad

 

there! oso can wat!

 

then RC help me cut off 10 bucks using student method. haha..

 

eh, but juz for info, the tuning quite power.. can hear and feel difference. now bike seems more powerful.. hmm.. wonder if it's psychological, but everything seems to be in sync. the sounds of the bike.. like a symphonised rhythm.. not bad la. worth it..

so how much did you pay in total?

i think they want us to go back again, so maybe they do well, but for subsequent visits i think they will not be as consistent liao

My main problem was that at a certain rev range for example around rpm 5-6k, sometimes the bike like jerking, feels like the carb not getting enough petrol. So i went to HKL and ask them what could be wrong. After alot of "advice" and bullshit, i decided to settle for a simple change of original honda air filter. I would however go back again when i have the money to do a nice full service though

eh... actually i didn't say anything about you being a student leh... i just told him that you first time so got ang bao get right?

 

maybe you can use the student excuse the next time round bah...

 

anyway, what they say should be quite logical lah... but everytime i go there, that ah bee will surely flame ah boy and other bike shops one... darn funny lah...

wah... serious ar? but i think everyone's experience is different lor... sometimes it depends on luck oso.. sometimes depends on the bike you ride and the mood oso lor...

 

for me, I've been going there for quite a few years liao but never really get chop lor... like i said, most bike shops talk c*** one lor... when they hear that you go other shop do for that certain price, then they'll say that you kana chop liao lah... its always like that... from my years of experience, there is no one bike shop that is honest enough one lah...

 

but for me, HKL price is quite good for me after comparing with other bike shops... i won't do things there unless i know the market price or what other shops are offering lor... their worksmanship may not be the best but good enough and the price is attractive at least to me...

 

so before you go bike shop, always check out with fellow SBF members and check the forum lor... then compare a few shops and get the best price out of it lor...

izzit turbo charged fluid like NOS like that, pump into your carbs then your bike can fly like jet ar..

[chrispy]

personally i hate it when mr bee always keep slamming mr boy, when the need to bad mouth others? true, the price may be cheap for tyres and EO but some of the mechs there just sux, bad attitude and handle your bike like sh*t.. i don't mind paying that extra bit to avoid all the bs from them..

Just tested at 2nd link, the jerkiness is very minimal now, i can feel a great improvement in the smoothness of power. My current rectifier is not the original rvf rectifier, its actually a sp rectifier. No wonder my bike feels underpowered at top end. But no money change now
