Dear JJBuBBle,

Please be patience with me please...

ARH . . . . . . , Relax Relax, that was not wat I meant :X Chiam . . . Wrong expression liao

 

Air Piss. . . sound is normal dude & I like your polite style Keep it up.

Hi all got a Qns to ask about Ta150 , how high your speed can go when on gear 3 , 4 and 5 ? because sometimes i drag my gear at 4 to 80 km/h dun know is it ok ?

[mr suave]

Hey knights, what is the difference between a 150cc and a 200cc phantom? And also, when buying a 2nd hand phantom, what to look out for?

[lunloon]

Please spend sometime to look through this link

• What is "mineral engine oil"?
  
• Is there any particular brand(s) of mineral EO? Name some, please?
  
• Would there be a label on the bottle tagging it as "mineral engine oil"?
  

I am going for the very first EO change for my bike. Not too sure if my regular motor shop carries the mineral EO.

[niqyap]

hello genie

 

mineral engine oil is one of the lowest grades of engine oil

 

the base stock for mineral eo is petroleum, ie from the earth

 

the next higher wld be semi-synthetic, which is about maybe 80% synthetic oil?

 

the highest grade wld be fully-synthetic oil, of which you have either polyalphaolefins (pao) or ester base stock. there are some fully syn oils which have petroleum base stock as well but these have been so modified that they're considered synthetic.

 

needless to say, fully-synthetic oils offer the best engine protection, and last longer between oil changes than the rest.

 

anyway, Esso POWER is one brand of mineral oil, probably the most common one ard. rating 20W50. you can buy it at esso petrol stations. Esso PACE is semi-syn, Esso GOLD is fully-syn.

 

there's no label for mineral oil, from what i know, but there're definitely labels for semi-syn and fully syn on most brands, therefore i'd think that any bottle which doesn't say fully-syn or semi-syn should be mineral oil. mineral oils should mostly be rated 20W50.

 

i've used the honda original EO from thailand as well, rating SAE 40... bought that from ASPhoon.

 

think planet motors has another brand of mineral oil, SAE 30...

 

but semi and fully syn are by far the most common.

 

well, you could try buying your own mineral oil and asking the shop to change for you... after all Esso stations are easy to find less than $8 per botle

[genie]

Thank you so very much, niqyap! That answered everything very well!

 

I am wondering how important is it for the first EO change to be using the mineral oil. Would it be detrimental to my bike if I don't use the mineral EO?

I got a pretty good deal for a Shark full face helmet some months back from Motoworld... website: Motoworld I quite like it although I hard use it.

 

As for jackets, check out Regina and Motoworld.

 

It's good habit to wear full face helmet and jacket and jeans when you ride.

 

I just gave away my air mesh jacket to my sister, thinking of getting another one. We can go shopping together if you want. PM me.
