A good mech must equip with the fundamental skill to handle the bike and knowledge of current generation of bike. Honesty & diligency, no cutting corners are the critical ‘G’ spots for me. Tell client the truth, if they can accept the truth before the repair that good for all parties. No doubts incur, bike is in good hands. Biker also feel safe.

 

I hate mech saying (sorry dude for using such harsh word) ‘It’s like that one la’ justify your statement pls, ‘Where is the oil drain plug huh?’ this one I personally kena before for my Shadow Slasher…. I boring of that.

 

Mech that I maximum trust to let them operate my bike are Meng Tong @ MAH, uncle Ah Heng @ Southern motor, he take care your machine too when handling it. These 2 I regards em as the grand master level. Trying one more new shop, hopefully they live up to their reputation.

 

Remember this ‘Big mountain may not have tiger…..’ Adviser Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms was in his house when Liu Bei asked him to join his alliance.

Hey pichudot,

- ur headlite & anxi lite beli bright & nice lei.

 

- my headlite both e low & high beam & e anxi lite r stock bulbs. Think is 'stanley' bah. All olso not bright.

- mayb can meet up wif u 1 day, see how bright is ur lite. Then can consider diy liao. Can hav more info on ur lites?

- olso my low & high beam is shining straight, not focusing on e same spot. Low beam shines on e left side, high beam shine on e rite side. Izit norm?

- kinda hard 2 adjust. adjust e bolts inside e upper cowl, below e meter.

 

can bro. can try to fix a day. today i'm going to unique in the afternoon for HEL hose + k&n + engine ice. if you free to pop by, let me know at my mobile at 81578152. ;D after that i'm going equip-x. before unique i'm going to auntie & regina. hehehe~ ;D

Hey Fazer Riders,

- wat is ur preferred brand of EO for Fazer? Power grading, eg. 10W 40?

- las time i used 2 use Castrol R1 Racing or Repsol on my S4. But now dis 2 hard 2 find leh. Any1 noes which mototiam sell them?

- how abt mobil 1, motul, maxima, yamalube, shell advance ultra 4?

- or rather, any recommendations for EO, mainly for sg street riding?

 

 

i heard from motoWorld that for our fazies as it is more to a touring bike, 15W 50 is more suitable. not sure how true is this. can someone validate?

Topic on fazer600 about engine oil changed.

 

Manual say with oil filter change is 2.8L .

 

without oil filter is 2.5 L.

 

Now i going to ask with oil filter change is 2.8 or 2.7 ? y i say 2.7 is becasue those mechanic loh some bikeshop mechainc say 2.7 some say follow manual which is 2.8L, but most of them told me 2.7L jiu enough le . so wat is wat?

[ah_vic811605199361]

trust the mechanic or trust the book.....

mechanic is human have experience...

manual = for a guide "AGARATION"

therefore always go to ur favourite mechanic who always service ur bike.

[maxxmadness]

 

Mech that I maximum trust to let them operate my bike ....uncle Ah Heng @ Southern motor,

 

yes got to agreed on that, he is especially good with the electrical. Although he is better known for his servicing knowledge on ST11, he has proven to be quite good at other bikes too...

 

He did a good job on my ST11 before i sold it last dec. I used to go like almost every 2 months for servicing because of my heavy usage on the ST11 for touring. Now it reduced to the occassional visit, not to service but just to catch up and have a cuppa with him.....i should bring my fazer for him to service soon, if i ride often enough to make the mileage...

Dun like tat leh...Ah heng no good one...dun intro to others here,later my waiting time will be longer....

[Intruder]

You 2 bros makes me laugh la.... One not enough mileage, one try to minimize waiting time...then me how.... high mileage cos i only got ONE motor, got no time to wait cos so many things need to do.... Like tat win liao lor.. :angel:

 

Ya, Uncle Ah Heng is good in electrical system, have heard about his speciality long ago when i still die hard for Southern Motor... Ah Heng is a COOool Uncle, seldom talk but when he talk, his words may mean an important tips for you. My 1st & my last 2nd bike were all serviced through em.

[0yuan0]

printed books/notes is better to follow. if not they won't print it out liao.

 

there is alway bound to have human error.

but this is not the case. +/- 100ml is ok.

 

this is yamaha's fazer, follow the guideline for user, as they have sold millions of bikes world wide for so many years. or your trusty mec?

Hey Yatz86,

- think i gota check out how much is shop selling Motul 300v 10w40.

- compare e price wif Castrol Power 1 4T Racing (formerly known as Castrol R1) then decide which to use.
