A sum of money (afew thousand dollars, depend on what bike you get and what is your age) for down payment, Insurance, Road tax, Handling fee, season parking.

 

 

Must have Equipment:

Helmet

 

Good to have Equipment

Rain cloth

Glove

Jacket

Riding boots

Cash Card

Normal 65 cents parking coupon

[compfused]

Most important..Your photocard (licence)..Ahaha..

[superfian]

thanks for the help guys! i have enough money for insurance, downpayment and all for the bike. yah things like season parking, raincoats, cloth and cash card im not sure must have. so basically thats all ah?

 

anyway, how much is it for a season parking? for multi-storey carpark.

or is it possible if i park at the pavements? cos i see some bikes parked at the pavements near my house for few years and its like no problem at all.

need to standby mah? just helmet loh, becos when collect bike, u need to bring along. then u ride the bike to LAB n buy the raincoat, roadtax disc, cloth, extra helmet, 2T/4T, spark plug, etc.

 

my season parking costs $16.66 after dun know how much discount becos i used giro to renew every month. Normally price is $17+

[headcharge]

Season parking is $15 per month. And parking on pavement is a $70 offence(im not sure)

MSCP is more ex than open air....

 

For cars its 95 vs 62 i think....

 

For bike should have some diff but not sure what....

 

Then if you pay by giro, its 3 percent off or something

open air carparks are $65 for vehicles less than 3 tons...

 

MSCP are $90...

 

those that had their open air carparks upgraded to MSCP will cost $75 i think...

not getting caught doesnt mean its ok...

 

& even if they get caught...did they inform you?

 

to each his own..but dont come here, whine & ask for how to write an appeal letter when you get the $70 summon...

[superfian]

you don't need a spare tyre. if your tyre is flat, you call the tow truck.

 

 

 

 

 

parking in the void deck = $100. tested and proven.

what bike u bought? there should be a "oil" lite (red color) on your speedo. once it lites up its time to put in some 2t liao. put 2t no need to put too full juz left some space left on top for it to expand when the engine is hot. hope this helps.

[superfian]

I also rxz. i use mobil super 2t and pump RON95.

 

RON 95 and above can, mix petrol also can, mix 2T also can.

If u wanna spend more, use fully syn 2T, if u normal normal, SEmi will do.

usually sportsbike they use fully syn.

 

season parking i also $17, then i buy few months only, then worst still, i not even using my season parking, like wasted.

 

RXZ quite simple, need 2T and petrol.

Learn slowly, know ur bike first, all the dirty job go bikeshop do, like 4T, carburetor etc, pay abit more for their service unless u wan hands on.

[SparkerS1]

seriously speaking, my friend sp use fully syn and i use semi, its like big difference lah.

 

U can buy what u need for ur bike, but dun buy too many items or else put there also wasted, keep it simple will do

[superfian]

tanx for the help sparkerS1. ya my frens alot tell me dat rxz easy to maintain. but i still need to know bout the basics ryt..

 

anyway how much is mobil super2t? and if u pump 95 full tank how much ah?
