Seeing it than believing it........T__

Lubing the chain is important. If your chain breaks while you're otr, finish liao.

 

Well said. Worse still. If chain slack too much, can come off te sprocket when your mid corner off throttle. Jamming your whole rear wheel. Learned that the hard way.

chain rust never maintain i understand. But how come rear brake switch and main stand spring rust until so jialat? not acceptable leh. I see those malaysia kups never maintain go construction site type also dont have rust until like that. My china made Ybr also never rust at these places. Think some batches of FZ use lower quality steel? Most FZ 16 I've seen also never rust so jialat.

 

But TS see the rust how come neber faster wash and oil? Spoil already later more troublesome you know.

Reminded me of an old RXK that was left abandoned wasting up one bike lot at my place. Even the tail lamp and right side mirrors was stolen after time.

[holdurhead]

for the chain its ur fault. but for the springs, hmm.. india i guess.

[Az_itsme]

lol...one post from TS and the rest kena flame...backfired.. LOL

[Strawberrydonut]

bike looks like its unused at all sia

[crucify_231]

I think this rider wash the bike with sea water.

[hsphalt]

From the looks of the picture, it clearly says that the rider is a new rider who lack experience.

 

But can't blame him lah, who hasn't been a rookie before? He should hang out more with forum ppl and learn.

 

Cut him some slack and I sure after this thread he started, he will always LUBE his chain without fail....might to the extend over lubing the bike making it too oily.......lol

[ticks]

Agreed to cut him some slack. But being a rookie doesn't give u the license to lash out at people's product as he did. Look at the majority of the replies above from seasoned riders, all narrowed down his problem to User error. Some product may suck, and deserve some shouting about... But this isn't one of them..

 

Anyway... Isn't too late to learn..hope TS learns a thing or two about bike maintenance here.

 

Just my 2 cents.

[revhappy]

My China YBR dont have this problems at all. Not even on my chrome, my side stand springs, anywhere.

 

Did you ever leave your ybr in the sun and rain without starting for months? There is one phantom below my block, looks like the owner is overseas, the bike seems to be not moved for months, its rusted badly.

Have you never seen the chrome on phantom rusted? So is Honda a bad product?

I have seen YBRs left in the sun and rain for weeks, the most only i see is a rusted chain. Not rusted springs, etc. I suspect TS work near shipyard or something. The kind of rust and corrosion seems to be salty air/ salt water related.

[ST_Nepal]

I am riding fz16 since April 2013 n the only non-secret to keep bike healthy is do proper maintenance.

 

- when we talk about servicing, we only change air filter and engine oil, but in fact We must do full basic servicing like washing, cleaning, tightening the chain, lube, Polish. I send to yamaha service centre at Hong Leong every 2 months. If spending that 50+$ can keep the bike in good condition, that's worth.

It's true: it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow. Admittedly, though... It is MOST fun to ride a fast bike fast!
