Bro Ray Oliver, you got your bike already?

[Ray Oliver Donovan]

Yes Bro Scooter, a fruitful advice from 0401897D I got an irresistible offer from Mah Motors @ 9400 .... after less 350, freebies 2 givi raincoats, rack & 47lt storage box. Yesterday went to Taihin to purchase gear oil SAE85-140, engine oil & coolant.

Sound good!! Looks like you will be enjoying your new toy.

so fast you buy gear oil, EO & coolant for what?

[Ray Oliver Donovan]

according to the manual, gotta change the engine & gear oil once reach 300km .... well, i've accomplished that in 3 days lol. As for Coolant, being mere "kiasu". Btw Taihin has lots of gadgets to improve GTS performance ... gonna be my frequent hangout place, i guess lol

For me oil change once a month. My threshold 2500km.

Yeah Mudai, thereafter (IF) advisable to change on a monthly basis. Hey guys, shall we meet up for gatherings next weekend?

I only change EO when I feel my bike not as smooth.

Risky isn't it? Actually depends on individual preferences .... each knows their bike performance better than others. Am thinking of upgrading the "horns" to something slightly louder i.e car horns. Anyone upgrade before?

[bandit298]

Thanks fellas for the info.

 

Btw found a shop close to as phoon, changed oil for $10. Semi-syn though. But dun see any diff in performance so far.

 

One more qn, where and how much to change to yuasa battery for the gts?

[bobo_rider]

I bought my gts on last nov... just a few days back my coil and rectifier give way. so i have to change both including the batt as well.

Kinda curious, what caused the coil & rectifier to give way?

That's a good question. I am not tech enough to give an answer. But the wires and connectors are slightly burnt and my charging is very slow. My voltage drop to 8.9v, so i guess i have no choice but to change both the faulty parts and reload a fresh battery. Now my voltage is at 14-14.4v.

I do appreciate your kindness as to share & kinda make me on my heel over the variables on voltage. How to know of any changes on the voltage, any indicators etc?

[Ray Oliver Donovan]

Anyone ever replace stock horns to louder ones before? I.e car horns. Am thinking of upgrading it.

[Scooter]

I just change mine at $65 because Yusa battery price increased from $65 to $70+ so I didn't change yusa battery.

Bro ray, are u going to DIY?

[Ray Oliver Donovan]

Bro ray, are u going to DIY?

No Bro Scooter, intend to do it @ Taihin

[Scooter]

I seldom use my horn so I don't think I need this upgrade. ☺️

Yeah depends on individual, as for me it's safety aspect as riding in tuas area.

Normally voltage with around 13.8-14-4v... thats a healthy range. If it drop below 12v the battery is consider weak but still able to crank and use. If the voltage is above 14.5 its over charging. Bro ray you can install a voltmeter to monitor your battery strength. It cost around $30-$50+ depending on how simply your voltmeter is. As for horn... I am currently using Hella Strongtone. Not the loudest but enough to get your attention. If you are free join us for the mega meet up on the 20th. Get to meet some of the DIY guru on that day. You might be interested in some of the mod or accessories they added to their 2 wheeler.

Bro bobo, thanks for the advice ... will get Taihin to fix the voltmeter & loud horns. In order to get a better acceleration from rest, should i change the variator or the weights?
