Actually I find braking much better, especially hard braking. It say braking improve up to 30% n also save ur brake pad 30%. In other words, save $$. ;) One thing good about steel braided hose is that it can last a veri long long time(forever ?? :confused: , I guess).

 

fyi

 

Cheers

I dont know wat u ppl think of k&T but i used to service my GSXR400 there around 3 yrs back.... Good service in term of the boss is friendly but thinking back i think i was kanna chop as carrot head at tat time & felt tat some of the things/parts /services are expensive. I did/service my engine and other stuffs, example like top overhaul, carbuttor..etc at K&T and in the end, problem surface or not solved at all & when i went back,i still have to pay $$ to solved it again. Endless problem keep coming after the first visit & i stopped going there after 3 mths of paying them $$ every other few weeks.

 

Also found out tat GHC install "chong"/fake oil filter on my vfr400 few mths ago when i change my oil filter last week at my father's frene motorshop. The motorshop person told me its "chong" one and teach me how to see the difference. Lucky my bike no problem during tat period of using the "chong" oil filter and tat the piston never jam :mad:

 

Jus my comment/experience & how i felt, hope i did not offence anybody & maybe tat i am jus the only unlucky one to have such an encounter. :sweat: *PEACE*

 

For all the ppl who ride rvf will know tat the spark plug for rvf is very expensive.

Around $18-20 for one. 4 x $18 = $72

(The above price is jus an example or the price i know)

 

Went to my father's frene motorshop at defu lane yesterday to change spark plug.

Cost me $65 only (the cheapest price i know so far)

 

yo where is this shop u go to?

so cheap ah

i oso wanna go leh.

u sure their plugs so cheap anot?

got R4 there anot?

how much?

bring me go leh.

So where can i get it done? Is this cheap or ex?

My back brake now not biting after i let someone wash my bike the other day,could it be due to brake pads?

you sold to who ah? stay where you know?? :smile: thank you

 

 

sell how much?

 

Sold my Garfield to EverBright at Ubi. For S$8.3K.

 

Don't know who is the buyer. I was told by the shop keeper that the buyer said he ever came to my place and view my bike before. But I cannot remember who is he.

 

Good luck to him!

Just for the record, the price of cheapest servicing I ever done and the name of the shop. Don't flame me if I got chopped. Maybe I do look like vegetable.

( i ) Spark Plug, S$16 per piece, Hock Kim Leong, Changed by mechanics

( ii ) Oil Filter, S$11, Hock Kim Leong, DIY

( iii ) Engine Oil ( RS Superbike ), S$15, Hock Kim Leong, DIY

( iv ) Engine Oil ( RS Superbike ), S$15, Hock Kim Leong, DIY

( v ) Air Filter, S$42, Ah Boy, DIY

( vi ) Tunning and Carb Sych, S$70, Southern, Done by mechanics.
