They service ANY bike.

 

And for me, if planet cant fix your bike, its unlikely anyone else can.

 

But so far i always go dirtwheel to service my Derbi bike. was thinking maybe i should try planet.

check first for spare parts... some exclusive branded parts are not available there.

 

I havent seen KTM, Triumph, Harley, Aprilia in Planet

 

but i've seen many BMW's there..

derbi is too unique. should go back to dirtwheel.

 

ah chong only good with japanese bikes i think, the more common ones.

But if just do normal servicing like change engine oil, spark plug & etc should be ok right?

79th time at Planet!

08/04/2011 Friday

03:48pm

weather: Fine

mood: Long time did go Planet already...

 

Went to Planet to change the air filter of my DR800. Been riding and feeling like the fuel air mixture is messed up. Cannot be carb, because carb just washed only 1 month + only. After thinking, what could be the problem, I realised the air filter never changed since 2009 !!!

 

So today because I knock off early I hopped over to Planet to change it. The DR800 can use the Super 4 air filter with a bit of modifcation but... See Ka Li, there got no Super 4 air filter, Ah Chong took out a CBR1000 filter ask me if use this one can go faster or not? Hahaha! Joker! So I cheekily answer maybe can leh!

 

But cannot fit, so waited for uncle to get one. In the mean time, I DIY dismantle the fuel tank and air filter, but 1/2 way through cannot dismantle. Somewhere the fuel tank jam cannot take out, so ask Ah Chong to teach me.

 

After the filter came, the uncle helped me to drill 3 holes to the air box cover, and Voila!Problem solved. When I took out the air filter the colour I see already want to laugh, the inside really is black one. I still used 1 finger to scrape it so that when take photo can see the difference.

 

Over at Planet, I saw Vidak and Armani. Vidak's little green grasshopper is looking good, and Armani got his big big twin headlight up. There was also a white phantom with a giantic white windscreen like a TP bike. While Ah Chong help him diagnose his gearing problem, he also very cartoon, put his helmet against the windshield and said raining never mind.

 

Since it was a long time since I last came, I bought drinks for all the mechs.

 

It was getting late, by the time I was done. 5.50pm time to pick up my wife, so I fired up the engine.... Crap! It can't start!!!

 

Wah Lao! Forgot that after changing air filter, the fuel-air mixture different first try sure very hard to start one. So try again, everyone looking at me, then sudddenly.... "BOOOOM!!!" Backfire very loud! Got fire some more! Armani said "Bro don't change your idling. then everytime can get backfire!"

 

KNN... don't change waste petrol leh, somemore price going up. So adjusted the idling and Zoomed off to pick up my wife, on the way home, the DR BIG like want to go faster all the time, pulling away like no tomorrow. I had to delibrately ease off the throttle to avoid going over 100km/hr. Excellent bike!

normal servciing should be quite allright. no major problems there. if any thing requries special tools or parts, better to go back to dirtwheel la.

 

but normal service cheap and good there, althought abit dirty.

[hongzy]

[plasticprison]

just came from there today. good day to go service my bike, since its not crowded. As usual, good service from Ah Chong. Went there for an oil change.

 

Personally, planet is a great place to go even though its a little messy. but at least they are honest about what needs to be changed on your bike. i'll go there for my regular servicing from now on

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

How to have fun at planet - bring 3 friends (with bikes) in the morning, do lots of repairs on them together with the planet crew (semi DIY), video everything.

 

It's just like Top Gear.... in Singapore

 

The more work you do yourself, the less the labour charges! Even better if you go repair and tune other peoples' bikes (with consent)

does he carry zx4 parts?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

ZX - best to call the shop and ask, to save time. See if they open this Caturday.

 

Today I sent my bike for its first major servicing since I bought it, chain tensioner replacement, valve clearance and spark plug, the former two not commonly done but suggested in the Honda service manual.

 

Total cost 85

 

I was rushing for time in the morning so left the bike outside the shop at 8am with a huge love letter on the tank and the key hidden in the chassis.

 

Visited in the evening and job done perfectly! Bike runs so quietly, it deserves to be called a Super Two :-)

My crashed bike is with them now, I let them do all the repairs and claiming from the other party. I believe they will do a good job.
