Ahhh, gud question:lol: My experinced after swaping Penzoil with Sikolene the difference is, my bike getting smooth when speeding & riding at a slow phase. Normally, if you change your engine oil late you can feel that changing of gear will be a bit difficult (maybe the engine oil getting thicker). As for Sikolene, rarely felt that way althought i just swap to Sikolene recently. No harm trying it youself bro, then you yourself will feel the difference.:thumb: If you got to rely on people suggestion also sometimes not accurate, learn to explore.:)

 

OK. Good lesson learned.

 

That will be 1 thumbs up for Sikolene.

 

Sikolene = 1 thumbs up

Castrol Power 1 = 0 thumb

Esso Gold = 0 thumb

 

Anyone wanna add? :dot:

Locations:

1: Labrador Park (Big car park where we can meet).

2: Kallang MacDonald's or KFC (can park and eat while waiting for others)

3: West Coast Park MacDonald's (can park and eat while waiting for others)

 

Just suggestions. :thumb: :thumb:

Well, it's very hard to vote for this few mentioned engine oil. Everyone has their own trusted choice, maybe not included in here also. Best advice, proceed to your trusted brand:thumb:

I consider this as not a vote, but more of a preferred choice between riders. The best choice is always to try out by yourself. But this sure helps the newer riders to get their choices right, that's all.:p

Hello :)

 

I also have a question about this "oil" and "changing gears" issue. My mechanic always uses some oil (i don't even know for sure what brand, but i think "Yamalube" as the shop sells that) SAE 40. Now my problem is that when the engine is hot or after i need to slow down rapidly, i can almost not change gears downward - i always have to let the clutch come a little bit to make the gear lever move at all, and it comes with a nasty "clack". There is no such problem when shifting UP. It's the 6-speed engine and i change oil about every 3.000 kilometers.

 

It is the same effect as if the clutch would not open fully, but it does. This clutch now has some 17.000 kilometers on it.

 

Do you think changing to a different oil would make a difference? Such as 15W-40 or 10W-50? Specific brand/type? In Germany we always used 15W-40 for any Japanese bike engine but there you don't find SAE 40 at all.

 

I appreciate any advice.... thanks in advance :)

 

Best regards...

Hmmm, gud idea..:angel: Then in that case they should refer to the preferred choice and let them decide what brand is highly recommended:)

Anyone here have rxz yellow color petrol tank or where to buy and how much?

 

I'm not sure whether you can get a ready made Yellow tank, unless someone wants to sell theirs.

 

The other option is get a tank for about $100++ (brand new) and spray OR

get a second hand tank (at a cheaper price) and spray.

 

If brand new, you can go to LAB OR you might want me to refer you to my mechanic and get a quote. No strings attached.

 

Good luck!:thumb:

I'm not so sure about your clutch problem, maybe its time to change your clutch plate and housing or even the clutch cable. I did mine, because the clutch cable keep on breaking after 3 months. I changed my clutch plate, but when the mechanic inspected my clutch housing, he recommended me to change, because it is loose. Now it's been a month, so I'm watching at the 3 months cable break.

 

About engine oil, according to wikipedia.org:

 

15W-40 - The first part (15W) refers to the thinness of the oil at low temperature. While the second part (40) refers to the thickness of the oil at high temperature. For cold climate, there maybe even 5W-30. So the vehicle can work under low temperatures. For us asian's, which have a climate temperature of about 20 degrees to 45 degrees, a 15W-40 is just right for everyday use. 10W-50 is more for frequent long road traveller.

 

SAE40 refers to the second part of (15W-40). It is the viscosity (thickness) level of the oil at high temperature.

 

Just my 2 cents worth.:cool:

Hello again :)

 

@A-AN 07: sorry for being late to reply, was rotating like hell at work.... i haven't confirmed delivery yet because, well, i haven't received it yet :) It might come today (third day after you sent) or maybe tomorrow or Monday (don't know if parcel post comes on Sundays??) Last two parcels always took three days, so i guess evening today it'll be here :)

 

About the movie "Remp-It" i don't mind if it's Malay only and no subtitles - i just really want to see it, i sure don't understand Malay but i also watch Thai movies without understanding too much - it's entertainment nevertheless :)

 

@supervivid: Thank you very much for the hints - i knew about viscosity etc (i'm certified mechanic, xixixi) but my clutch has been replaced completely (entire set - housing, plates, discs, don't know what that's all called in English, the entire clutch 100%) about 17.000 Kilometers ago. Back then the old one was slipping and did not open fully, almost impossible to shift gears either way then. How long do they last in the RXZ when you ride mostly city traffic? In my Zuendapp's i usually had the same clutch over 50.000 kilometers without problems..... i don't think Yamaha "finish" that much earlier?

 

Kind regards....
