Hi guys, it was nice meeting u all last nite..although by coincidence.

Hi guys, I'm posting on behalf of my dad and I hope you guys can help me out here.

 

He's riding a FJR1300 ABS 05 model.

 

Just last week the ABS indicator light came on which means something went wrong with the ABS itself.

 

He tried:

1-Switching off and on the ignition

2-Cleaning both back and front sensors

3-Changing the brake pads

 

Still doesn't work.

 

The weird thing is the indicator lights up on and off before, during and after rides.

 

He doesnt notice any different in braking. So what is wrong with the ABS?

 

Regards, Ben

that means the ABS is faulty & will not work. The brakes will still work like normal brakes. just that when wheel lock, the brakes will not go intermittent.

FJR aint got carbs.

 

Valve clearance I believe only HL has the capability as they have the adjustment shims in stock. They quoted me $180.

 

I've let Meng Tong replaced my Tensioner + Chain but the problem resurfaced pretty fast. I'm trying out HL soon and they quoted me $80-$150 for tensioner replacement depending on how much the timing has run.

Yep. U can get fully syn for that kindof price provided u DIY. Southern charged him 18 / ltr which I tot its quite cheap incusive of labour, if its fully syn that is.

[eddie_hendra]

Thankz..btw i got another problem..when my rpm reached 4 my engine sundenly sound different n vibrate more....the power also seems to lost abit...the other problem is in the morning when i start my bike and warm it up, my engine will died when i engage to firsy gear...

don't think it's fully syn oil. but they said can last a mileage of 3,000 to 4,000km till next service.

 

my last mileage is only 2,000km for 5 months. so, i trust my next service would be 6 months later.

so, how do you dispose the waste engine oil?

Can last a mileage of 3,000 to 4,000 km only?? Think you should know that it should be semi-syn engine oil...

 

I just changed my EO last Saturday afternoon, at the bike shop which I frequent, it is very near to the Southern Motors which you patronised.

 

Including labour to change the FULLY-Syn EO, it costed me S$20.

 

Maybe the fully-syn oil used is of a lousy brand, thus it cost me only S$20 while your Semi-syn oil may be of a very high grade, that's why it costs S$18 per litre.

[seahmh]

so, how do you dispose the waste engine oil?

 

Yes, I am interested to know how we can dispose the waste engine oil.

 

As far as I know, we cannot simply pour it down the drain/toilet bowl and we cannot set fire to burn them off too (that is if the EO is flammable enough to ignite).

I always specially ride down to a particular bike shop and place it by their waste bin.

What model u riding? Vibration may be due to TB out of sync.

 

As for the stalling of engine, does it only happens during warm up?

semi-syn eo is good enough right? it's esso brand lah.

The bike shop people won't "scold" us for "throwing" waste EO at their shop ah??

[seahmh]

I may be wrong, the other more experienced FJRians pls advise if I am wrong.

 

I think semi-syn EO is good enough, so long as one does not "exceed" 3,000km, then go change the EO....

 

Actually for the FULLY-Syn EO (which I have always used for all my EO changes for my previous Fabulous-Joy-Ride), it is said that FULLY-Syn can last 10,000km before another change.

 

But I always change my EO at around 5,000km - 5,500km...

 

Cos when I was riding this joy-ride, I always feel that the engine and the gears-kicking a bit "rough" when I reached the 5,000km mark. It is only my personal feel. The rest of the FJRians may not feel likewise.

 

Also, like one of my friends said, though a FULLY-Syn EO can last us 10,000km, would I dare to take the "gamble" and save on the EO change and change the EO only after 10,000km, esp on a big bike?

 

He told me frankly that do I want to save on the EO or save the engine?

 

Also, for those who needs a long period of time, e.g. 9 months to 1 whole year, to reach 5,000km, the "slipperyness" (sorry, I am not sure about the correct term to use.) of the EO may no longer be there (heating and cooling of the EO during and after travelling may dis-intergrate the EO over long period of time) and the EO may no longer be lubricating the pistons, so our pistons may be "hurt"...

 

Just my 0.0000000000000002cents worth...

 

Pls don't :gun: me if I am wrong.

i will alway get 2 empty 4L EO bottles from any car service shop 1 cut by the side 2 is to fill up the drained EO ...remember both must come with the bottle caps .....so i think u should where to throw after yr servicing

thanks for the info. think i am not overly concerned about such details.

sound troublesome (lay chay).

 

i think better pay for service. i can still afford that few more dollars lah rather than dirty my hands

Actually bike shop have the big metal barrel where they put all the used engine oil into. Then they actually can sell the full barrel of used engine oil. I once saw a truck which collects all these barrels at motor shop.

[wubefrub]

what do they do with the barrels of thick black eo eh? sell off? re-process? make cooking oil?
