I cover my bike religiously and park under shelter almost all of the time.

During dry weather, I can polish & de-rust every 3 weeks to 1 month (with some dry wipes in between), and still keep my bike in high shine condition.

 

For wet weather days then different liao, once every 2 weeks or more often, depending on how much I get caught in the rain.

 

Basically, covering your bike will do wonders to rust prevention.

It'll only take u about 30secs to a minute to cover your bike. If lazy, then bo pian liao

can't generalize an answer for u.

Depends on the bike and the tender-lovin-care that owner lavishes on his machine.

wah stall on slope still have to kick start quite cham rite?

 

=P

 

shiong man.

 

just keep your throttle revvy and it shd be alright =) just remember u have to open up more when u're on the slope.

 

i also kena a few times, stalled at the traffic light cos my throttle cable is a bit loose...got some free play, so i sometimes i forget and release the clutch too early haha so embarrassing. at least i still have my p plate, quite forgiveable hahaha

If u realise, most questions are repeating itself...

So that's why you may be getting lesser reply...

 

Gallant, ur extra post u can delete, it won't reduce ur post counts.

 

Btw if you stay for quite sometime, u might be helpful enough to answer questions of doubts initially, but after awhile, you'll find that everything repeats... so... it's become lesser replies instead...

 

That's why the mod come up with a directory for easi"er" searching

[Thunder_X]

Gallant,

the day before didnt slept, then yesterday only slept from 8am to 11 am, so after whole day class, went back to sleep again at 8pm, and then wake up at 2am. So all the way read stuff do my home work for TA 200 till now...

 

I think I'm juz a little on fire about my coming new bike... :bouncefire:

 

nivleK1985,

yea, a few repeating posts, but most importantly, there're some mis-leading info post as well....that's soemthing I feel not that good. So juz an advise for newbie, never believe 100% what others said, always think twice yourself on the answer people give you.

[nivleK1985]

so when u at 1/2 clutch, ur bike will be moving

the slowly open throttle more ba...

 

lolz that's the way i did.

[fleaz]

anyone knows the correct fuse rating to use for stebel horns? and where to buy? sim lim tower?

[BlackDawn]

Use regular plug 13A fuse for your stebels will do. Easily available almost anywhere. NTUC also have.

 

Tweak, clutch cable must be the correct length. So I doubt S4 one will fit Phantom.
