Yeah Maxima is good. I use 20/50 too. So far so good. About the chain wax, i bought the grey coloured one from them. They have 2 colours one is grey the other is like brown. Both up to personal preference and both works the same i heard. Anyways, next one i might try the brown one... white one got bubbles... i think brown one dun have....

 

If you change engine oil by youself, where are you going to recycle those used oil? Bring them back to the service shop?

Midview building sells stuff in pair, in fact most shops sell in pair. If you stay near st 23 might as well get my 2nd hand pair or you want left side only? the other time someone asking for my right side I think

 

 

 

Thanks.

Are they going to sell both the frame and mirror? I only need to mirror. I wonder if they sell only mirror.

 

go to a glass shop..bring your mirror frame and they can cut a mirror to your requirement...last time car mirror damaged..did it for $12..

I need left side mirror. The glass is broken. I kept the rubber o-ring.

[mepkoh]

glass shop along UBI ave 2..did it there.

[protecter1]

I have bought a left side mirror at Bukit Batok st 23 for $18. If I buy a pair, it cost $32.

Also, I changed engine oil there for $24. One bottle of Castrol power1 T4 cost $12. I need 1.5 bottle with 1/2 bottle left with me.

Also, I changed air filter there for $22.

I don't know if it is a good deal or not.

Wah air filter $22 is ex wor.. can buy from LAB and DIY. i think $10..

 

 

I need a bit of help here.

Anyone can tell me how to DIY tighten chain? mine seems a bit slack.. or is it very hard to DIY?

[TheYasMan]

Yes the air filter from LAB is $10. DIY is simple screw-in-screw-outs.

But the $10 is 'chiong' one with 'Honda' sticker on the plastic. It's almost an exact replica of the authentic one. Some people complain of frequent backfiring after using it - i noticed it reduced after taping the gaps of the wire mesh at the backing to the black plastic body to avoid air from sipping through without being filtered. That's the best i can explain

[dragonforce]

1.5l? wow its drowning man.. 1l sufficient already..

tighten chain go bikeshop do it lor.. from there see how they do it.. there was once i diy ended up too tight.. went to bikeshop they loosen it for me.. they say rather have the chains loose than tight..

[jianping]

icic.. hmmm tml gonna go bike shop let them tighten.. any idea roughly they will charge how much? i scare kanna carroted..

Actually if you are a regular customer to your bike shop, the mechanic will usually tell you the chain is too loose, and offer to tighten for you FREE.

 

If not they charge you $1.00

 

If they charge $2.00, don't ever go back there.

I think that is what a newbie paid. I don't know where LAB is. Can not find it on yellowpage.

After change the air filter, I found backfiring. I was riding on the ramp from BKE to SLE, my bike gave a loud bang. It sounds like tire explosion. I was scared.

It sounds like a good place mut to go, although far from west. Are they open on Sunday?

[limbat]

yes they are & it is veri crowded ...............

[Hellsing]

Hi,

 

I recently had to get the headlight bulb replaced at a workshow as it was burnt out.

 

After that I felt that the low beam appears to be 'throwing' out light higher than the high beam.

 

So the question is it possible to accidentally install the bulb upside down or is it idiot proof?

 

I took out the bulb to check but could not figure out anything wrong.

 

Thanks.

I went to Hua Chin at Bukit Batok Area to tighten my chain. FOC. Woohoo.

 

But now gearbox still got some chain sound at gear 4, 5, 6.. Haiz.. Chain just changed not long ago, now got sound again.. sianz..

 

Anyone know what could be the cause?

[SNapEl]

Stronger spark, better response, improved FC... something like that lol
