That time ah boy no motul so I bought belray. Honestly the ride about the same la. But belray will smell like plastic burning. Maybe you'll feel abit different. Don't have the same 'smooth' ride when you use belray compared to motul. But that's just your mind. Cause it's too used to motul liao.

went to ah boy today.

 

putoline rs959 is $15

motul 710 is $20

belray h1r $23

 

only saw like 3 bottles of belray in the top left corner. didnt see belray si-7. i read belray website it seems that h1r is more for track racing and 'street racing', si-7 is normal fully synth ester.

 

bought my usual motul and 1 putoline to test, total supposed to be $35 but he sold me $33 :bouncefire:. and carousell also sell putoline for $15

this method seems more thourough, because he heat different section. i go bapok they just fire from the end and leave it there. 10 mins or less and finish

 

Which shop you went? The 1 i went to was x performance motors. They heat up section by section. The 1st time i went there was good. The guy did neck, belly & end. Took abt 20mins + of heating. Wait to cool & respray. belly is rm48 & endcan is rm 28. The 2nd time i went there was a new guy, only did neck & belly, charged me rm 70+ . When i questioned him abt the prev price, he said price increased liao. :angry:

 

Just dont go to the 1st corner shop you see. Didnt do proper thorough job, Didnt remove endcan, a bit more ex then x performance & worst of all used water to cool down the exhaust! :angry::angry: The exhaust is steel. Must air cool. Quenching steel just makes the material brittle => steel changes to martensite.

When i 1st coverted back to pump, the shop recommended by the prev owner filled my tank with Challenger fully synthetic 2t. Supposedly for high performance 2t engine. Philipino or Thai brand $10. Engine not smooth.

 

So when that 1 almost used up i top up with my original castrol power 1 racing 2t. This 1 also not bad, quite smooth. $18 from bendemeer rd. Most other shops sell abt $23-$25. But funny thing is if use jb v power, the exhaust smell is very pungent. With sg petrols is ok.

 

Now using motul 710 or if cant find motul, Elf moto 2 race. Elf also ester. At 8k revs v v nice & smooth. But ex la rm95 & can only get in jb.

 

I think generally ester the best for sp cos the ester molecules are attracted to metal. So always assured of an oil film in the cylinder even on morning starts.

X performance is red signboard. One of the units somewhere in the middle of that whole slope. Cant miss it la...the signboard is perpendicular to the road. So as you enter that lorong just keep your eyes up for the signboard. All the mechs wear red t shirts. Quite a number of sg bikes go there too. Its also one of the very few shops which have a boutique upstairs.

 

I changed all my fairing screws there too.

i ask you all, how interchangeble are gaskets and piston rings?

 

last night the shop in bapok say they got the gasket and rings for sp, but i a bit doubtful. was thinking of getting in from the dealer in sg then give to the shop and do.

I only trust Planet & TSK with my SP.

 

TSK in the past had a team racing sps. Now they race ninja 250s.

 

But those bearings which i mentioned, need to order. You can gv them a call & then you go there to install after they get the parts. The bearing which connects swingarm to chassis, cant do on sunday cos that bearing needs to be punched in. The punching shop closed on sun. So sat or weekdays only can do that 1.

known as X-performance

 

Oh....Xifu Lam!

 

I thought there was another xifu/sifu around or some other shop name which i wasnt aware of.
