Bro, no choice leh... If go down to the motor-diam on a Sat, the crowd there to view and/or bikes, and the bikes sent there for servicing is crazy lor. Unless it is like we go down at around 10am, park our bikes outside the shop and wait for the shop to be open,

so that we can be the first few bikes for the mechanic to change the tyres for us.

 

Thanks, ashenZ, for the directions and contact for the RP EO...

Just bought the original oil filter from AM @ $15.

[ashenZ]

Sorry guys, really sorry...

 

I'm not familiar with the area there and i can't find the way there.

 

And i learn a lesson, the bike is too heavy and the U-turn really need to be very big one...I almost drop the bike in the middle of the road...My heart sink to the core of the earth!!!

 

After that all the mood goes off so i went back and ended up at seletar reservoir...

 

Really have to plan my route well next time!!!

 

Learned my lesson...

luckily u & ur bike never sleep middle of the road.. as that place traffic is kind of heavy & i dare to bet with u, once ur bike lye flat on road..u need 3 man to carry it up

& u r really kind of power.. went meeting up can't find the place but end up at seletar resevior..

Guys, went down to Southerns and HKL earlier.

 

Southerns quoted $330 for Pilot Road.

Went over to HKL to enquire and was quoted $380. How come the difference so big?

Went upstairs to talk to the boss (Ah Bee) and told him Southerns charging $330.

He couldnt believe it either and immediately called Southerns / Ah Huat, turned on the speaker and I listened to the conversation as well.

Ah Huat over the phone told him $370.

Afterwhich, Ah Bee offered me same price $370 as well.

What went wrong? Is it becos Ah Huat dun wanna spoilt market and told Ah Bee $370 instead?

 

Ps: HKL giving free digital tyre pressure guage (worth $25) for change of tyres and their balancing machine looks newer. Not sure if its regularly calibrated or not though.

 

Which shop would you choose?

that's y i always said that idiotic huat & heng mech can go pullbbllywood..im for sure they will get Oscar for thier "wayang" :sian:

guess they will never learn what is "internet" , "forum" & "info sharing" :nono:

Hmmm...some say 50-60 will be better during long distance touring trips.

Wonder how true it is.

 

Currently I'm using Motorex 10w60, hitting the 10,000KM mark soon so time to change the EO and oil filter. I know some here change EO at 5000km interval but is it necessary? Owner manual states 10,000KM interval leh.

No offence to those who change at 5000KM interval pls.

 

Wanted to join you guys on fri nite but cant make it. Gotta wake up at 5am for a coach trip to kukup leh.

HKL Ah Keong even kindda of advised me to change at Southerns if they're really charging $330 for the same pair of tyres!

Maybe he's a spy working at HKL for Southerns.

Think i'm still not used to the bike yet, will need more time to pratice...

Dun be overly upset bout the imperfect U-turn.

It takes time and practice during the initial phase. Esp true when upgrading from Class 2A road bikes to Class 2 touring bikes. The difference is GREAT!

Like what Uncle Cheeko always ask people, "The bike is heavy" lor.

 

I myself dropped my former ride (Diversion XJ900S), about twice when parking it on the main stand. Luckily no serious damages. When upgrade to FJR, found it a bit easier to get used to the bike. Maybe due to the Diversion.

Every fall is a very valuable learning lesson.

Me too.

On flat surfaces, it's ok but not against slopes! Wife always gotta help me push from in front, so pai say esp when the monster is on full tank. Whenever possible, I try not to park in places and positions that'd give her a chance to assist me. Haha...

I'm 175cm btw.

Sure have one lah. FJR leh. 1300cc bike leh.

Those female pillions who do not know how to appreciate comfort do not deserve a 2nd look from us.

To me, FJR is the most perfect bike in terms of comfort, storage space and power!

Intend to ride this monster till the end of its COE and most probably extend it as well.

 

Remem to jio me when you gg. I'm quite like that place but always hard to find kakis go down.
