Back to my favourite shop, on Valentine's day. It was a mixed feeling.

Happy to be there, but sad at the same time because I was there alone... (no cai)

02:50 pm

weather: Sunny

mood: mixed with

 

When there because bike cannot start.

Thought it was a battery problem, because it was ok the next day after the first time I had the problem, after ridding. But now everyday problem...

 

When I went there, there wasn't the usual crowd, probably all dating... ...

EXCEPT ME!!! WHY! WHY!!

 

Ah Peng was the one who did my bike. After testing the battery with a volt meter, he confirmed that it was a relay problem, and proceeded to change the relay.

 

5 mins later Voila! Bike is revving like it was new!

 

Paid $30 for the relay and workmanship.

Great service at a good price!

 

Met Mad Fox there as well, seems he's pretty lucky everytime he meets me.

First time was after he bought his bike and needed advised on what to do first.

 

Now he is selling away his modded phantom, to get a Shadow, but didn't bring his phone!?!?!

Later he told me he left it in his Vespa. Good thing I was there to lend him mine.

 

Guys if you want a modded phantom with BIG head light & BIG footrest.

Mad Fox is selling his bike with the above accessories for $1,500 firm.

 

Grab it while you can.

No worries about his mechs bro.. They are all skilled and experienced... Ah Chong will always supervise them closely...

[Baphomet]

dun tink ah chong will do personally....if can get ah peng do best:thumb:when u go planet, go stra8 to ah peng lor..although most of the time u do big bikes...try ya luck lor

[redname]

planet still the best lah. they solve a prob on my DRZ.

 

the other "expert" shops for drz cldn't even detect and prove such a simple solution. Planet chop chop find out already

[stRobe]

Ah Chong will always supervise them closely...

 

...and crack a dirty joke or two

[dixon1990]

hmmm jus send it for overhual..is there any proof chong will show tat the parts in my engine were changed?he mention craftshaft ..bearings..conrod.. and the rubber on the top for the airbox..plus those basic overhual pacage like change piston/ring service block etc..and quoted me ard 500+ less den 600..reasonable?

[dragonforce]

unless you want to stay at the shop to oversee what they change.. normally its more of trust, and planet is a shop i trust.

[HamtaroS4]

Yup! These days its rare to place trust anyhow... But i do trust Planet... Anyway, to satisfy urself, ask to see all the parts that they have replaced... The replaced parts shouldnt be "all over the place" if they came out altogether from your bike... Know what i mean?

yup, i've seen many times ah chong showing the replaced parts to the bike owners before making payment, all the replaced parts will be placed in a box...

of course, one can argue that the parts might not be from one's bike, but if that's the case, the only solution is to do the overhaul oneself... hehe...

True dat! Some people who are new in the biz might try a trick or two... But those that are long in the biz and recognized by many to be reliable shouldn't be a problem..

 

But I just have a feeling that unless they upgrade their tools or machinery, they might just be outdated and only cater to the older bikes... I dunno why but I just feel like Im in a JB workshop when Im there... Lol...

their knowledge and service is gd enough to give those high tech workshops a run for their money

[Constructicon]

their knowledge and service is gd enough to give those high tech workshops a run for their money

 

1) Workshop

Asked before Ah Chong why he dun do a renovation. Think he told me it was renovated some time back. Said no point since it will be dirty fast. True, but I think the grime on the floor is at least 1 inch thick. haha....

 

2) Trust

Been with Planet for 5 years already. Cant see myself going anywhere. (There is no such nonsense like a $4-5 bulb costing $8 a few days later os other assorted crap i personally encountered elsewhere.)

He showed me the parts he changed from time to time more for my knowledge. Once the trust is earned, it will be there.

I left my bike at his shop countless times, and I do not have to worry whether some scheming ******** will do something funny to it.

 

3) Future

Most of the bikes serviced can be handled with the same old spanner anywhere. It's the skill that counts.

Unless you are talking about ABS, electonic suspension, then i wonder if most of the shops in Sg can handle at all.

 

Have a nice day/ ride.

[dixon1990]

hmmm i went down todae to confirm wad parts he will be changing for me..he showed me the parts dat r worn..overall v gd..hope i will be satisfied by thus when collecting my sp..btw..u guys know if the air box rubber, which is on the top once u take out the fuel tank,wad will happen if its missing?cuz mines empty..no rubber..got airbox thou..not sure got air filter not..=x lols..isit easy to check?

[eedwinn]

Anyone knows how Ah Chong charges for EO change for S4?

 

I just got mine recently and read that S4 uses 3.2L of EO, so do I purchase 4 bottles of EO and what happens to the remaining 0.8L?

 

Also, does he change the oil filter together while doing EO change? Thanks for all advises.
