waaa... now ENO is the new EMO guy.. ha.. kitty so nice lehz.. give up seat for pregnant lady.. last time i always see ppl dun wan let up seat to anyone, pregnant or disabled or elderly.. pretend to slp.. i always "accidentally" kick them.. hard.. or step on them "accidentally"..

[glzco]

I want nobody nobody but chuuuuuu...

 

 

hahaha.. ash.. u crazy abt wonder girls ar? heh..

[Eno]

Hi guys...since u all left after the JB pump petrol trip...i juz got back from JB....haha kidding...

 

had only 4h of sleep that night....when work starts sleep is very precious....

 

nice meeting all the new faces (i noe its a bit late to say this....but better late den never )

 

ok aidos...time to watch GI JOE....(yes i heard it sucks...but its ok i haf no expectation..)

 

GI Joe is nice. Action packed and funny. I give it a 4/5. Very nice movie IMO.

 

For those who are changing chains, just share with you my past experiences. If you ride a RX-Z OR a pulsar, no point changing to those HUGE DID X/O ring chains. Change DID Heavy Duty roller chain enough. Plus sprockets (ORIGINAL Yamaha) only about 55 +- including installation. If in JB cheaper at Ah Gua Lane, but forgot the price.

 

 

Maintenance is easy, use chain spray regularly, if abit budget, balance engine oil will do, but dirty la. Heh.

 

But again, up to you all la. Its just my opinion.

 

I bought DID heavy duty gold(japan), front n rear sprocket set at AH Gua lane for RM85. I'm nt too sure abt whether my sprockets are original. All i noe its black in colour(which is diff from the usual 'steel' colour i bought at ah boy).

 

Oh ya, how regularly u lube your chain? I'm thinking of lubing every 2 weeks assuming I'm going from NUS to Tampines 5 days week.

Since you asked, lets share what I have.. (excerpt from the net)

 

 

Maintenance - Sealed-ring Chains:

 

There are only four things you need to do to maintain a modern sealed-ring chain:

• Clean it of debris (sand, dirt, grime);

• Lubricate the exterior (oil or wax);

• Adjust it for elongation (not too tight!);

• Replace it when it's too elongated or worn, or the seals start to fail.

Minor Maintenance (every 100 to 200 miles):

• Clean it of external debris (sand, dirt, grime);

• Lubricate the exterior (oil) and spray excess into the bearing links; MAJOR MAINTENANCE (every 600 to 1200 miles):

• Unmount the chain;

• Dip-clean it of internal debris (use a gallon container Kerosene or WD-40, plus a brush, dip repeatedly to wash any dirt, dust, etc. out of the bearing area under each roller);

• Reoil the bearings (dipping it into a vat of gear oil or a pan of heated grease works well), filling all the bearings under each roller with oil/grease;

• Remount the chain;

• Adjust it for elongation (not too tight!);

• Replace it when it's too elongated or worn, when any of the rollers are sloppy on their carrier bearings, or when any of the roller bearings fail to turn freely even after dip-cleaning.

 

Cleaning:

 

Most manufacturers recommend cleaning your chain thoroughly every 500 to 600 miles (every 1000km) with kerosene (not gasoline, naptha, acetone or other petrolium products that dry out seals). Although old style (non-sealed) chains really need to be physically soaked to clean them, modern sealed-ring chains can normally be cleaned in place unless they are totally trashed.

Lubricating:

 

Your chain should be lubricated every time it is cleaned, and then some. Generally, all chain oils and chain waxes work best if the chain is physically warm (so the parts have expanded and the lubricant can penetrate better). Remember that some seals may fail quickly; the lubricant you are placing on there not only protects the seals, but also helps keep any rollers with compromised seals working until the chain gets replaced. If in doubt about what to use to clean your chain, follow the manufacturer's recommendation.

 

Although many people swear by standard WD-40 as their chain cleaning chemical of choice, I avoid it specifically when cleaning/lubing any sealed-chains (O-ring/X-ring/W-ring) because of the 45 to 50% Stoddard Solvent in WD-40 (stoddard solvent is commonly considered dry cleaning solvent; I suspect it dries out the VOC's in the o-ring or x-ring seals). WD-40 however, is perfectly suited to cleaning old-style open-link chains.

 

As for me, I personally spray down my chain with oil at the end of every ten mile or longer ride, thus insuring that the chain is constantly well lubricated and the seals are kept in tip-top shape. Note that it is virtually physically impossible to over-oil a chain (since excess oil will be flung off), but it is possible to over-wax a chain. I'm planning on installing a Pro-Oiler or a Lubetronic soon on my current ride, and have had Scott Oilers on past bikes.

 

Oil or Wax

 

Note that both work, and each one has it's own benefits and drawbacks. Wax tends to stick far firmer and longer than oil products, reducing how often you need to lubricate the chain, and providing a longer-lasting barrier against water. But wax also tends to grab onto sand and dirt and hold it really well, increasing the contamination level that can lead to excess abrasion on seals.

 

Oil tends to lubricate better (greater penetration), and doesn't hold onto sand & dirt contamination as well. But oil also has a tendency to fling off more readily, requiring more frequent applications. The upside to this flinging is that as the oil flings off, it takes contaminants with it, keeping the total contamination levels down. So what should you use?

 

• If you live in an area that has lots of sand (coastal areas, deserts), use oil.

• If you are diligent about using a lubricant, use oil (keeps the contamination levels down).

• If you live somewhere that doesn't get a lot of contamination, use wax.

• If you are not diligent about using a lubricant, get an automatic oiler (Pro-Oiler, Scott Automatic Chain Oilers, HawkeOiler, Lubetronic, and Loobman Oiler (manual)).

• If you're a starving college student, you can use automotive grease, used motor oil or vaseline in a pinch, and look at the Loobman Oiler.

Adjusting:

 

Your chain should be checked for adjustment (slack) every time it is cleaned, and anytime you suspect it may be too slack or too tight. The golden rule is that slightly too loose a chain is infinitely safer (and less like to wear prematurely) than slightly too tight a chain. Chain adjustment methods vary between motorcycle models, and we recommend you consult your owner's manual for the proper amount of slack and the method to set the chain tension adjustment by.

 

If you don't have an owner's manual for your motorcycle, we highly recommend you obtain one -- try searching the net, or visit your local dealership to order one. For most motorcycles that use a chain, a total flex of 1" measured halfway between the front and rear sprockets (1/2" up plus 1/2" down) is the ideal. Remember that your chain needs to have some slack so that as it spins up to full speed, it can have room for centrifugal force. The sample adjustment below is for 1998 - 2003 Katanas, as per the owner's manual, as an example:

 

Replacement:

 

Your chain will need to be replaced whenever it becomes too elongated, if the rollers are no longer turning freely, and/or whenever your sprockets are starting to wear. It should also be replaced any time you replace your sprockets with new ones, and whenever you see red powder lubricant at the links (see picture "Failure Analysis", above).

 

A typical lifespan for a well maintained chain should be between 8,000 and 15,000 miles (12,500 to 24,000 km). A typical lifespan for a neglected chain can be under 5,000 miles and for an ignored chain is rarely over 2,500 miles. Chains using automated oilers often get 25,000 to 45,000 miles before they need to be replaced, making such oilers a good investment.

i dun recommend heavy duty chain because mine stretched like hell. i have to tighten my chain every month.

 

i paid 90 (heavy duty chain + sprocket) for it...only used for 4mths + i have to keep tightening and make do with all the kpkb noise from the chain.

 

RK O-ring only cost $30-40 more but much lower maintenance, last longer and can ride with a peace of mind.

 

well at least that's what happened to my phantom...
