you see, we know what you mean, but, spraying pricing very much depends on the number of colors, design and what you wanna spray.

Yao motors at amk does a rather good paint job. Elsewhere, opposite 1st motors on the 3rd story there's another place with good paint jobs.

Question: Are there any consequences to the engine by over-filled EO? eg damage, etc?

Question: Are there any consequences to the engine by over-filled EO? eg damage, etc?

 

Your engine will feel sluggish due to EO churning.

Analogy: Imagine a blender filled to the brim without any air inside....

[Metalfyre]

You fill up too much, and try to push the bike at high speeds, the gaskets may break.

[Guest @h_püi™]

Hi wanna check.... anyone changes their signal light from bulb to LED? like to t-10 LED? i tried before but then when i activate the signal light... it somehow hang after one blink.... anyone who had the light changed successfully pls share share.. thanks

im aware of the analogy, but i want to know how it harms the engine.. So there's only the possibility of the gasket breaking, eh? *phew*

[TheYasMan]

another super noob question:

 

When we measure EO level with the dipstick, are we supposed to let the engine run for some time before doing so, or let the engine rest? Or does it not matter? Heard 2 different views this past weeekend, each with their own theories.

The latter argues that it allows the "oil to reach the bottom, hence measuring is more accurate".

[Guest @h_püi™]

hey yas... i did the EO check according to the manual..

 

run for few min.. then off the engine and let it rest for few min.. then measure...

 

i normally measure it during cold start... or the initial start of the day...

 

anyway i recommend dun measure it after you have travel for a distance.. cos this way you will sure get your reading fall within the range...
