wat kinda shampoo u refering to? .... :smile:

 

i used more on polishing....seldom wash... :cheeky:

if you polish without washing, you might be rubbing in the dirt that is on your bike, causing fine scratch marks that will become more & more visible one day...

hi, can recommend some brand for maintenance products like shampoo etc... if can state where to buy n how much.... thx!

Currently there's dry washing & wet washing on è market.

I personally prefer wet wash. Not sure abt dry though.(Hopefully those who had done Dry wash can comment abt it.)

Cheaper alternatives can be as stated, mama lemon or Jif.

Pls try not to use autosol or WD40 as they wil eat away the protective layer on è metal, howeva autosol & WD40 is most best for de-rusting.

U can use either these 2 to de-rust rusted parts, then wipe or wash clean è parts, apply a coat of polish or if its screw threads, use those metal protector lubricants(mostly in spray canisters) to prevent* them frm rusting.

As for plastic chrome, wash clean, give a layer of good polish to maintain è shine.

 

*Note: Rusting can be prevented, but not totally stopped.

Think many have this similar problems... I had mine for almost 3 months untill it finally got "well". Didn't really know the exact diagnostic, but think the final conclusion shld be the mixture of petrol & air... Send in your phantom for caburator service and retuning ba...

Maybe you can try this... keep throttling when you're on your way there, just keep the petrol going in...
