Fuel strainer screen ??

 

Crankcase breather ?? It's a plastic pipe coming down - end below the engine. Got a small cap. Need to open and let go of the sludge (real dirty oil)

 

Valve clearance ??

 

Engine oil strainer screen ?? I believe is the mesh screen ( when diy oil change) is after the spring. Just clean would do

 

Engine oil centrifugal filter ??

 

The rest I am a noob and confused too !

You might have not heard but could have read it in the manual. As I recall you emailed to many in the manual thread.

 

In case you did miss it, I have attached here.

Fuel strainer screen ??

no idea

don't think anyone bothers/knows it exists. even you go for motordiam EO change, they also never touch it.

 

Valve clearance ??

probably not valid for phantom

 

Engine oil strainer screen ?? I believe is the mesh screen ( when diy oil change) is after the spring. Just clean would do

 

never see motordiam cleaning it. usually just fix back right away.

 

Engine oil centrifugal filter ??

no idea.

den why change eo???dun change lor...use til burn up den pour in lor...no need to open the EO nut so leh chey.

 

Svcing is not meant for overhaul, its a measure to prevent ur bike from totally being unrideable. IE checking of brake pads, brake fluid, EO level, throttle freeplay and what nots.

there's a mixed up between svc and overhaul, both can mean the same things and might not. So look clearly and carefully.

 

Cheers!

 

bluesurfer has some issues with the top of the engine. i don't think he's confusing overhaul with service. To him slight loss of power is fine, so he's not gonna spend the money. Unlike others who have more serious issues but lack liquidity to fix them.

 

i'm just wondering how many opinions he wants regarding EO. he has been over curious about EO for some time.

 

When you buy Mobil EO, if there is no motorcycle picture, watch out for "energy saving". It cannot be used for motorcycle w wet clutch. Just 2 cts worth. never look for mobil EO before.

 

if you want cheap, go straight for LAB or Carrefour, if u want premium go straight for fully syn. our Phantom loves to destroy EO so Semi for 2k mileage is recommended. i see no point to get good grade Semi. IMO, anything above $10 and u r better off heading for affordable fully.

 

go read up on semi. i read somewhere that semi only contains max 30% of good stuff, whereas fully contains 100%. can't remember what mumbo Jumbo, but after trying fully:

 

i drag mileage a little, gears and accln feels much smoother even with extra mileage, and price is seriously comparable. In fact i doubt i will change the EO till it feels real hot (begins to perform like 15w25) or its really black. none has happened yet.

Fuel strainer screen Assumption: some filter that allows fuel to pass through while trapping impurities. I dunno where tis is haha.

 

Crankcase breather ?? It's a plastic pipe coming down - end below the engine. Got a small cap. Need to open and let go of the sludge (real dirty oil)

 

Valve clearance Normally done for bigger bikes, especially when the valves are jammed or stuck. Basically entails cleaning the valves and the pivot points with petrol to clear it of the gunk that's been jamming it. Of course some people choose to do it regularly rather than waiting till their valves get stuck. Not sure if Phantom needs though. I've never done it for mine, and after 6 years it still runs fine.

 

Engine oil strainer screen ?? I believe is the mesh screen ( when diy oil change) is after the spring. Just clean would do

 

Engine oil centrifugal filter WILD Assumption: Some oil filter?? That makes use of the G-forces within the engine to clear the oil of impurities?!?!? WAHAHAHA

Overhaul - $620

 

Things changed -

Gearbox,

Tensioner,

Piston,

'2 black things'(hei chai in chinese) supports engine or sth

gasket,

+ many mech terms which i can't really understand

 

because of my budget and gearbox problem, he change some with honda original parts, while other with 'pu tong'(normal) parts.

 

 

What i feel:

1 more gear avaliable, But it's still quite difficult to kick down gears, sometimes will 'tiao' there, have to kick many times before going to gear 1.

 

Engine quieter, no more 'tiang tiang tiang sound' when start engine.

 

Smoother ride.
