Thank you so much stsoh!!! its been a great help....

 

updated some changes b4 ur replied post, pls read again.

[lazykatak]

what engine oil you guys using???

anyone tried motul 300v?

[stsoh]

motul v300 is expensive....S$28/btl.

i've been using royal purple max-cycle 20w-50....S$18/btl.

it's good n cheap.

[lazykatak]

ok, will try royal purple next.... so where to get it?

btw uncle soh, taking out the baffle, do u have problem during inspection??

plaining to do so, just want to check it out... i know its acually illegal, but just want to know do u go through inspection with the baffle out or u put it in for inspection....

[stsoh]

ok, will try royal purple next.... so where to get it?

u can buy royal purple max-cycle 20w-50 (for atv n motorcycle use) at tanjong pagar plaza, blk 2, #02-20 (S082002).

do not buy the cheaper version (S$12/btl), it is for automotive (car) use.

it's a retail shop, buy a bottle n change oil DIY or bring it to cka (oil change service will be charge).

dun mistook baffle for db silencer.

db silencer can be remove by removing the rivets.

it can be install back when necessary.

 

baffle is welded at mid-section of the muffler.

poke-thru-baffle, u have problem sealing back punched hole(s).

tat's why i hate malaysai mech services, they do things without much tot.

 

sound different btwn removal of db silencer n poke-thru-hole baffle:

poke-thru-hole baffle is much louder n annoyance than without db silencer.

any mod on exhaust system is illegal in sillypore regulated in traffic acts.

 

rw baffle with hole(s) owners should give u an answer, i dun really know if they pass inspection.

i dun have any problem passed inspections since past yrs.

ah, silencer.... will try to take out the silencer, and see how it goes....

thx for the info, will get the royal purple when i came back to singapore... as my oil is alrdy due for a change....

[stsoh]

dun let those mech tell u tat black (very dark) oil is bad for the engine.

rp oil has detergent property tat will suspend carbon particle n flows it to oil filter to be trapped.

sludge (gluey mass) tat's the real problem.

sludge can block small passages (ducts), reduces oil pressure n heat conduction.

if oil doesn't have detergent property then it is not as black.

dark brownish color like mineral n semi-syn oil,

leaving carbon dirt internally like sand paper rubbing btwn parts causing more wears.

rp is dark purple color, last time whenever i let those mech change oil,

first word out from their mouth is "Wah, so black, lousy oil u r using".

to me they can screw their words, nowadays i DIY oil change n dispose oil at any bike shop.

cka-hq willing to let me dispose oil for free, coz i still got to buy oil-filter from them.

other place have to pay S$2 for oil disposal.

[lazykatak]

so how much is the oil filter from cka?

i change it during my last oil change, but didnt ask for the price, just pay... hahha

[stsoh]

first time i brought was S$7/pc, if not mistaken price have raise to S$7.50.

now maybe price has rise to S$8/pc.

[stsoh]

merry christmas to all.

[Suppose]

i agree on you Suppose!!! cuz that day i was looking at the picture of ducati supermotard / hypermotard i was thinking how good if we could modify to look one ... hahahaha

 

it would be cool if we could do that but i bet it would cost a lot of $$$

 

Merry Christmas to you too stsoh and all Roadwinnners!

[lazykatak]

just came back from k.l and port dickson..... first time driving up north.... shiok ah... hahahha.... tmr will get my royal purple, and have my oil change....

[stsoh]

.......

stock carb settings: main-jet #100, slow-jet #38, jet-needle eclip@slot#2, pilot-screw@ 2 1/8 turns.

current carb settings: main-jet #102, slow-jet #40, jet-needle eclip@slot#3, pilot-screw@ 1.5 turns.

 

not necessary to change jets, u can try setting jet-needle eclip to slot#4 for more power.

if u r not sure wat to do, pls seek your local mech for help.

......

 

set jet-needle eclip to slot#4 for power n better run.

if u didn't change slow-jet, set pilot-screw at 2.5 turns.

 

fc will be higher (avg 27km/l), tat's the trade for more power.

if u want to save fuel than remain at stock settings.

[lazykatak]

aiya, went down to get the royal purple oil.... but the shop close, i think he went for a holiday or what.. hahahaa... so when going back home, hop by hkl get a 300v to test... hahaha

[stsoh]

happy new 2010 year to all.

Hi to all Daelim Bikers,

 

I'll want to wish all enjoy riding but please ride safely & stay healthy for this coming New Year.....

Hello rw people!

i just got my rw less than 2 mths ago. Been great! alil slow but has been a great experience!

However, my fuel gauge needle has spasm :/ went to cka at tohguan to check they said it was loose. tighten it back . now the problem arise again!

i wonder if it could be the sensors in the tank . the spasms is very wild.

i know its about full tank , but the needle will jump around from half tank to over the full mark. non-stop action! esp when im riding. when stopped the fuel gauge dun jump as much but sometimes they still jump around. How! anyone experienced the same problems before?!

 

Thanks for reading

[stsoh]

ur fuel gauge is defective.

my fuel gauge doesn't jump but full tank indicate 3/4 mark n when empty the needle stop just above the red empty mark.

just leave it be, i use trip meter, top up when it hits 400km or when i've to turn ON reserve.

u have to replace the whole meter n is expensive, just becoz of fuel gauge is not worth it.

[SevenZ]

my bike is still under warrenty from CKA so i should just go have it changed right? its suppose to be free as its not my fault?

[stsoh]

did u brought new or 2nd hand bike??

if brand new bike, cka is daelim agent, they can claim from daelim.

2nd hand bike, cka warranty mainly covers engine mechanical defects.

other defective parts r consider consumables, tat means u have to pay for it.

maybe u can try n ask for new meter.

[SevenZ]

2nd hand !

Uh wahhhh if i need to pay for a defective meter they gave me. i very lugi lei!

[stsoh]

business is setup to made profit, otherwise it is known as charity org.

buy new bike is around $8~9k.

2nd hand $3~4k, used parts tends to fail after a few yrs especially electrical/electronic parts.

consumable parts wear n tear after yrs of usage.

if u r lucky previous owner take good care of the bike, unlucky got a lemon bike.

[SevenZ]

icic .. ahah thanks alot! stsoh!

[SevenZ]

update! just came back from CKA toh guan!

they changed a new meter for me! a 2nd hand one not new. but everything's working! Thumbsup for CKA !
