cause just now i had encounter this... :giddy: :giddy:

when they snap u and ur at 100kmph they got evidence of u goign at 150kmph ma. so most likely shld be fine. if they snap u at 150kmph prepare to go court le lol

Good and bad is just the difference between perceptions.

it wont spoil lah. u put to ON and put to RES the difference is when it is ON and the engine runs out of petrol u still have the reserve to get u to the petrol station but if it is RES and the engine runs out of petrol then u happy push bike.

 

 

hello! i've been riding my honda sp for a while now. and i know nuts about maintaining my bike. any tips that you riders out there can give me?

 

all i know is what i've heard from friends or read from forums. maybe you all can give me some clarification?

 

1) heard you should send your bike for servicing at motordiam every 3 mths like tt? what do they do for you and how much does it cost? any difference between this and 'FULL' servicing?

 

send it for a major full service (top overhaul) every 30,000km if you love your bike. change the gasket, piston ring, clean the chamber, wash the carburettor, change gear oil, do some tuning, etc. spark plugs can change once every 10,000km, and actually i don't really see the need to wash carburettor if u have your air filter there. how dirty can a carb get???

 

2) how often do you have to lube & clean your chain? heard it's 1 wk?

 

u lub once a week is ok, remember to clean off the dirt too, some pple find it too troublesome, so they do it once a month, some dont ever bother because they got full chain guard (like me haha). u take care of your chain well it will serve u a long time, if u dont take care of it well then maybe a while it will spoil then u got to change it again.

 

3) the uncle at the shop i got my motor from told me to spray wd40 at all the moving metal parts? is this to lube it or to prevent rust?

 

lousy WD40 is a chemical compound that dissolves away the rust and exposes new metal beneath to more rust. good WD40 (those more advanced formulas) dissolves away the rust and forms a new chemical layer out of this rust to protect the metal beneath (but it will still continue to rust). WD40 removes rust around moving metal parts such as side stand and footpeg so that u have a easier and smoother time putting them up or down but definitely not the eingine parts which are metal and also moving.

 

4) what can i do to maintain the bike on my own?

 

once a week lub chain, don't wack too hard, clean and wash it if u want, do the daily pre-ride checking as advised when u learning 2B, thats about all you can do on your own.

 

 

please help and discuss and i hope that this thread can be a guide to any new or less experienced riders out there(like myself).

 

thanks alot!! cheers!

 

 

100km/h to 0km/h in 1 sec will land u in the mortuary! wat hospital... u study physics? u know how much momentum and force is that??

 

anyway, i do recommend steel braided brake hoses (becos the rubber ones become brittle after time) but NOT brembo brake pads and calipers. wat? u riding a 1998cc WRX STi? i always say this again and again: u want good braking power, u must have good tyres too, otherwise they'll just lock and u'll fly. and considering that SP is such a light bike, at 160km/h, u dont really need to brake that hard for the wheels to lock and u kiss the tarmac. and kissing the tarmac at 160km/h in open face helmet, t-shirt, jeans, slippers and no gloves is not something u can try and then survive to tell the tale.

 

 

dude your IU spoilt most likely is cos the fuse kena blown, reason very simple, the JB mechs like to tap the current for IU from the mains (which is connected to rectifier) instead of directly to the battery. this causes the IU to short due to large current so that why it spoil. if your IU still got warranty it can be replaced for free. if not its S$152.90 and don't ever let them play with the IU again.

Hi flykite , i can deduce from your postings here that u r pretty enthusiatic n dedicated to bikes despite u being a gal ....GREAT !

 

Perhaps ur knowledge maybe richer then mine !

 

Anyway juz curious ...are u the gal filbert refering to ????

 

YEN here

second hand i dunnoe but ah boy sells new fairing i dun think tat ex for side.. think it's abt 35 per side..

 

BTW juz wanna know where in JB do u giys wash ur bike??

Posted

There's a place called Singgahsana near the coast - it's somewhere across the road from Danga bay.

 

it has a 24hr car wash place and they do bikes as well, so its perfect for those who go in the wee hours like me. You can leave ur bike and go to the food place beside while waiting.
