Standard check list. No leak. So shaky brake. Suspension check. Engine start check. Test drive. And decide

[gpan]

No leak is the most important. Also no odd noises/sounds (metal grinding,knocking,squealing) during test ride.

My scooter's tyres is front Maxxis pro and rear Pirelli Diablo. the front tyre is still in pretty good condition but notice quite a number of lump in the back tyre which mean there is some internal damage to the lining.

 

decide to change both tyres for safety reason.

 

changed the front and rear tyre Shinko SR567/SR568 front and rear respectively.

 

also changed the rear brake pad. the front brake pad still have a bit of life in it. will change it during the next belt and roller change.

 

2 tyres cost RM300. Rear brake pad cost RM45.

I have bad experience on Shinko. Too slippery and bad grip

Same model as mine? I will be more careful. Thks for the advice. What tyres are you using?

 

The shop quote me rm 160 for belt and roller change. Is the price ok? Original sym.

 

Anyway, overheard the boss telling one of his regular not to use castrol oil. I asked him why and he told me high rate of ooverhauling for those who use castrol oil regularly. Not sure how true it is.

The battery from my SF seems to only hold its charge for a week or less.....dunno hold old the batt is.Now I'm reconditioning it using my CTEK charger. Hope that gives life to the battery....

 

Battery update -

 

SF batt was at 12.4v after a week of no usage. Can still start bike ok.

GTS batt at 12v after 10 days of no usage. Didn't attempt to start bike, now charging!

 

I guess 8/9 days would be the limit of the battery keeping some charge.....

[Isopropyl]

i got this cheap charger.

 

will test on some old battery first. haha...

Thanks Isopropyl!

got a torque wrench and tighten all the drain bolts according to spec. you will be surprise how little torque is needed. i guess most people will over tighten it without torque wrench.

 

Engine oil drain bolt - 3.5 to 4.5 kgf-m

Engine oil strainer - 1.3 to 1.7 kgf-m

Transmission drain bolt - 0.8 to 1.2 kgf-m

Transmission filling bolt - 1.0 to 1.4 kgf-m

 

also got a bottle of Carlube Dot 4 brake fluid and bleed the brake system. the 2 years old fluid look brown and dirty. it good to have some fresh fluid in there.

[Isopropyl]

Thanks Isopropyl!

 

enjoy your new bike:cheer:

Hi Isopropyl,

I have been looking to buy a torque wrench in Singapore.

Where did you get yours?

Am also looking for nut sockets larger than 19mm (one to fit the clutch bell nut).

Thanks in advance

I got it from ACH HARDWARE & MACHINERY PTE. LTD at Kelantan lane. it cost about $58 and the brand is Tony King if I didn't remember wrongly. there are plenty of hardware shop around selling it. some brand is even cheaper then what I pay for. I don't think our application require extreme precision so no point going for high-end ones.

 

the bell nut is 19 mm. other useful sizes are 10 / 12 / 14 / 17. you planning to service the transmission components? count me in if it is ok for you.

[Isopropyl]

Today ordered Brake Pad to DIY the front caliper. I going for EBC organic brake pad. our rotor are constructed from carbon steel so it is not suitable for sintered brake pad. will compare it with the OEM brake pad before deciding whether to change the rear to EBC as well.

 

EBC organic brake pad work great for my old bike. my only complain is it wear out pretty fast.

 

intent to clean up and re-grease both calipers. extra job of removal of the exhaust pipe is required for the rear caliper.

Thanks Isopropyl, also need to look for clutch tool-the one that holds the clutch from turning. I am just learning to clean up the dust in transmission belt area. Mine is a Joymax.
