P***** Motor

I seen a Suzuki DR800 there before!

 

76th + 76.5th Time at Planet!

Date: 10/01/2011

Time: 11:40am + 11:55pm

Weather: Drizzling

Mood: Happy

 

 

Well well well, my new starter motor from UK finally arrived. So went to Planet to let Ah Chong fixed it up. Looks like a reconditioned one though, because got discolouration.

But as long as it is in good condition... Oh well...

 

So pushed start the bike there! Ah Chong say I hero, like that also can push start! Haha!

But at Planet already alot of people, at least another 4 bikes still lining up. Ah Chong said cannot collect by tonight. So left the bike there, abit disappointed cannot collect same day, but just my luck, today's customers came early.

 

So left my key with Ah Chong, Ah Chong still wrapped up my keychain with a piece of paper because he said my keychain very nice, scared people steal, before writing my bike number on it.

Just before I left, Ah Chong then told me maybe must overhaul (This time he serious) because not sure if the starter can come out without opening the engine, because it was very tight fit. Very worried, then after I left, I remembered that last time, when I first got the bike, I went to another shop to service, and the mech there took it out before to clean the carbon brushes by first removing the exhaust, so called back and told Ah Chong that confirm can take out, only a 10 min job to remove. Yay!

 

Sure enough, that night Ah Chong called to tell me that, he just fitted in the new starter, the bike can start liao, starting very strongly too!

First time, everytime!

 

But because it was already 7:25pm, they will be closing soon. So if I want it by tonight, he will leave it outside and hide the key in the fairrings. So that's how come I got the 76.5th tiem at Planet! Took a bus to collect the bike, Damn... took an hour to get there. By bike only 1/2 that time.

Over at Planet at night, the place was very different, so Ulu....

 

So quickly wear my rainoat took my key and (a bit not used to it, because can start on the first time worrr!) started the bike as normal and rode back! But owe Ah Chong service charge for this time round! Must pay him back before Chinese New Year, otherwise unlucky!!!

 

woooo.. at night? it's raining wor.. did you saw me riding a black kr with box come in? me and my friends are all around one corner..

Went to planet today with a friend, my friend change his engine oil and oil filter. Ah Chong is friendly and get the job done fast.

But the negative feedback is dirty & messy plus long waiting time, my friend even have to use a wet issue to wipe his handle grip before leaving.

Overall I think is still acceptable to most bikers

***Thumbs up***

I wear black leather gloves when I ride, so no issue, don't even notice if the handlebars grips are oily or not!

 

Goooooo Planet!

Went to planet on the 25/1/2011 to change my tires. First few customers there having gone at 930.

 

Saw Ah Chong , and he tended to my bike.

 

Recommended for open pricing. (Open meaning he just tell you what need to change and how much, not negotiable nor did i try) and friendly service.

 

Although i was the first few there, if you're in a hurry, either

a) Don't let ah chong tend to your bike (Cause he's super busy answering phones and tending to walk ins) or

b) Let any of the other mechs tend to your bike.

 

As i sat there for 2 hours i would feel safe if any of the mechs there did the work, they all seem competent. Thankfully i wasn't really rushing anywhere, so it was more of just relax and chit chat. Mechs are friendlyu and will tcss also.... Recommended for good quality work for reasonable prices.

Just went to change my battery for my R1, the mechanic is very friendly and tells me what things to note. He even advised to put a volt meter to monitor the current of the battery. Fast and efficient with the repair. Like all I highly recommend going there.
