[lawbah]

hey..guru is back

 

yup...but which one...ha ha ha, long time no post here eh .

 

Boss... Planet is blue... so... you know... haha!

[thenation]

For me, only Mark, Ah Peng, 三味汤, and of course, Ah Chong can make it. Those 2 never touches my bike...

 

Mark and ah peng are good, but ah peng speaks too softly lah, sometimes can't hear what he's saying. The china guy is a little blur blur, the ang moh looking one is alright for normal servicing I suppose.

 

But how do you keep them away from your bike? Tell ah chong who you want to service your bike?

[queirtus]

well actually i dun mind which mech does my bike when i go planet but i dunno why everytime the person that does my bike is always the china guy nowadays, its always him no matter what time i go.

Usually when u go to Planet, you stay at your bike lor... then when they come, you just say "oh nvm, i waiting for so and so to do my bike" ... a few times they wun come to you liao... or you go up to Mark and tell him the bike let him do then u go drink or "da pao" kopi come back lor...

 

Ang moh I think normal servicing can la... change EO, sparkplugs still ok. Come to steering cone this type of thing.... better let others do...

 

Btw, Peng almost always, only do big bikes... he never touched my Phantom b4

Planet Motor Servicing Centre. Ubi. Blk 3007. 67474740. Look for Ah Chong, if you go there, try not to let china man and ang moh looking guy touch your bike.

If you park there then come down got a pool of water, i think its probably water... cos fuel should have evaporated. Hmmm ... but right hand side got petrol stains... if left side still can explain... right side... not sure liao... you go pump abit and see got leak anot lor... if really leak then have to go planet liao...

I see, i see. But peng has done servicing for me before, he helped point out things I didn't know need to be changed. I just got back from planet actually, there was something loose in the right chrome sidecover making a rattling sound when I throttled, chong knew what was wrong immediately. Peng was servicing a phantom there...

[SNapEl]

[lawbah]

I have the pics... but ... i think its not nice to post online...

(1) Do we have to pay for vehicle inspection? If so, how much?

 

(2) Do we have to make an appointment to go for the inspection?

Yes. You have to pay. Forgot how much. If fail and need to go second, third time, also need to pay. But less than the first time.

 

No need make appointment. Just go, pay, queue, check, pass, go.

[genie]

Thank you!

Sadly we have to (1) for their "services" to ensure we keep our bike next to stock standard and of course in working condition

TA150?

 

Kick start a few times while ignition is off

 

Then on and kickstart again without turning throttle as it floods it with petrol...

[jianping]

Hmmm i gonna check it out at bike shop this weekend..

 

Thanks.

 

 

I went to Planet this morning, Ah Chong test ride, then changed the chain tensioner. He also showed me one piece of the front sprocket's rubber drop off le, he told me to go back the shop i bought this sprocket. He says the sprocket is chiong de.

 

So i went back to the shop (Orange Shop), shop owner tells me is like that de, even change again also will drop off.. BTW i only use this sprocket for 2 weeks loh..

 

In the end i changed it at another shop near my place.. Now smoother n quieter le. Finally.

 

No more Orange Shop for me!!!!!

Whoa, second posted entry about Orange doing a bad job on the front sprocket. Was the 'shop owner' Koon or the dad? IMO the dad is seriously anyhow one lah.

Hi, not much significant difference. Don't worry about it. Just new and old model with a few changes but same old thing.

[ml88]

I see, how do i tell a difference between a custom4? or will i be able to tell by the year the bike is manufactured?
