The kerb? Eh...I personally wouldn't do that...

 

Anyway a much easier option for those without a gf (Vidak) is to bring your lube when you go meet friends or when there's a PK meetup, just ask someone to push the bike for you...

you're right... but getting my hands coated with some "absolutely will not be washed off" substance is a no-no at outings... :dozed:

Just to share, learnt a skill of lubing the chain. Left hand hold handle bar, shoulder on seat, right hand hold the chrome guard for the chain and lube the chain while pushing.

 

hmm.. how u do it? must be sweating like mad soon after?

normally I go to Planet only for all my bike problems, they very good at solving problems.

But I don't think they do these sort of non-repair, just "maintenance" jobs:

 

can someone recommend me where i can get these services done at reasonable rates ?

 

- Clean carburetor

- lube clutch/accelerator cables

- Clean carbon (from exhaust )

- drain/change brake fluids.

 

I'm the type who don't like to DIY one... too lazy...

err... clean carb? unless it is absolutely necessary... don't do it... if you have to, do it at planet.

 

just spray chain lube in the clutch and throttle cables....

 

ok I haven't heard of cleaning carbon...

 

planet can bleed fluids! since you don't like to diy... they charge about $10

Thanks for the info, VidaK. But I thought cleaning carb is a maintenance thing that must do every 1 year? (saw someone mention in forum)

 

Also know that planet don't recommend cleaning the carb.

Any idea How come ? I tot generally keeping parts clean = better ?

 

As for clutch/throttle cable, really got no shop that can do the lubing ? I don't have the equipment to get the lube under the plastic coverings...

A shop name/address would be nice.

well... the carb is hard to reassemble and retune... it might end up worse than before...

 

get a chain lube with the tube to lube small spaces... well... other than diy I don't think there are shops that lube clutch and throttle cables... if your's are stiff because of rust you can just change them instead... planet sells spares...

cleaning carb???

 

the easiest DIY..is get yourself a carb cleaner additive that can be added to your petrol...available at most petrol station.

 

you should feel that the bik will perform better...after using a whole bottle and several petrol top up...if it didnt work maybe a trip to wash carb is the wise thing to do..

off course at the current moment u have to figure out is the carb giving u

high FC and power issues in the first place...

the best motto is if it aint broken dont fix it.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time:dot:

btw found out today that Ubi Autobacs sells this cheaper...

 

thanks for sharing bro but i think since it come out 0.8-0.9 from e box, this is not necessary.

Carbs no need clean. At most, just look for the overflow drain screw under the carb, unscrew, let all the petrol out, then screw back will do. Takes you less than 5 minutes. You lazy to the bike, the bike will end up lazy to you dun wan move when you need it to lol

 

Cable lubing use those singer oil kind of bottle drip a bit in, pump clutch cable a few times can liao. Less than 1 minute.

 

You riding 2stroke or 4stroke? 4 stroke no need clear carbon la.

 

Last one u can do at planet since u trust them.

decarbonise for 4 stroke??

i do..

most of the time do it together during top overhaul...where the valves and seats are cleaned and its cleareances reset. at the same clean up all the carbon accumulated on the piston head and where ever u find in the cylinder.

 

those who do not do these ...over time the valve / seat will be screwed up..
