that's the gasket for the tap pad covers..

not the block..

but the gasket for the block also not expensive ar..

just tell them during ur servicing that ur tap pad cover is leaking..

and ask them double check that the leakage is indeed from the tap pad cover..

that is if u dun noe how to trace back and components of ur bike..

 

the usual place where it will leak..

1. gasket tap pad cover.. (top/front of block)

2. the o-ring on the left side of ur engine (when ur sitting down)

 

rare cases

your engine oil drainage nut & thread

cause : improper steps to draining engine oil, overtightening, usage of improper tools

 

hope this helps dude

[shorty]

tap pad huh....hmm...dis is a new word i learn today.hehehe.nvr know anything abt it.n i tot only chain got o-ring.engine also got?aiyah...jialat la...anyway thanks for de useful info.mayb wil try n ask.but i scared kena cheat by de shop.later they anyhow say dis n dat leak...den change dis change dat...kena chop!

haiyaaaa, if tappet cover oni u open it out,

put sum gasket gum on it,

then screw it back

cost u less den 5 dolar to buy a gasket gum

 

if gasket for kapcai den cost u a loaf of gardenia bread oni,

usually kapcai tappet cover use o-ring oni, not gasket, even cheaper arr, cost u roti canai oni arr.

 

if gasket for big bikes, expect to pay much more lor, can buy Delifrance

correct..

for wave, it's only an o-ring for the tappet cover..

can just use gasket gum..

but if the leak is super bad..

take out the o-ring and check carefully..

most prob it's broken and needs replacement..

not ex ar.. cheap cheap..

 

the other o-ring i mentioned..

is the left side which u have to screw out when u need to adjust the tappet..

there's an o-ring there on the 'cap' which u screwed out..

 

shorty,

wave items are not ex bro..

what makes them ex are the labour charges..

but it's justifiable..

i find it more tougher to rectifier problems on my wave than my r1 and fireblade..

reason being.. small small thing have to take out lotsa plastics..

 

DIY ar bro..

cheaper.. and the sense of achievement is priceless..

drop by the agents..

FJT @ Rowell

Chong Aik @ Desker..

side by side only..

[shorty]

i can buy de things.but dunno how to diy.nvr meddle wif wave parts b4.i don even noe wat tap pad or o ring u guys talking abt.

Hi,

 

Does anyone know why my engine oil runs dry after 400km?

 

is there something on the bike that i can change? the carburator?

 

I have tried different types of engine oil too. they all seem to finish around 400km

 

Thanks

[HaiR1]

maybe your EO leak...

 

try checking @ e bottom of your engine, the EO Drain Bolt..

[Blahhh]

its normal for wave to eat up EO, but not after 400km. Mostly after 2500km or so. Send it for a checkup dude..

[cupcai]

Ask the mechanic to check the valve seal.
