[Archived - 2009] PK Official- Questions for Newbie

[adhlk]

I think you idling too low.....just let the bike warm up a bit before moving off.

 

Keeping the throttle open is also another way....All the best....

[Ravage]

Petrol + Air = Air Lock.

 

Bleeding is needed to be done in order to solve that problem.

Bleeding is normally done my mechanic, unless you know how it is done. Otherwise, do not DIY.

 

Other then air lock, Try checking your petrol tap. It might be switched to the reserve.

 

You might not know if ppl play a prank on you.

 

So have a habit of checking you bike b4 moving off. This will keep your Riding safe unless other circumstances. YOu get what i mean. . .

there should be a screeching metal touching metal sound each time u brake (when ur brake pads are finished).

[Janielle]

hehe.. apparently.. i dun hear any screeching sound.. =X n the friction of the brake pad caused the disc to be 'scarred' lolz =X

Not true lah.....

 

In fact most of us work....but we enjoy meeting each other after work to relax....So we usually make it a point to meet each other at least once every weekend to catch up. Some PK here meet up almost everyday....so no comments.

 

You are welcome to join.......

Hi, I'm sorry if I'm posting the same question again.. I've posted this question earlier on.. However, I couldn't get the answer to my Qn.. Tried searching for "motorex chainlube", in return i get this topic for the search results.. This topic is far too big for me to view and I couldn't narrow down the search anymore.. Pls try to understand..

 

Recently I tried using motorex chainlube introduced to me by my frd.. I followed methods suggested to me in this forum, by spray and push the bike method.. However, I recall I must spray the whole chain so i sprayed the whole chain..

 

After spraying, the sides of the chain is stained with some white sticky substance.. I tink that this substance is the substance that will stick the lube to my chain.. I tot it will disappear after riding in the rain.. It has already been 2 weeks and I've been riding in the rain a few times.. Problem is the white sticky substance being so effective that it won't go off..

 

Have anyone used motorex chainlube b4? if there is, pls share with me ur experience.. Am I using the wrong method? Is the white sticky substance harmful to my chain? Thanks pple..

halo,

basically, any shops that does refitting of seats can be done there,

here's some: 219(@ Lavender st), Eugene saddlery(formerly Koon Eng, @ Syed Alwi rd), Auntie shop(beside LAB, @ Kelatan Lane)

 

Costin @ Eugene saddlery(formerly Koon Eng): Re-wrap(normal leather) + add on; $40-45

(sorry i cant rmber exact, done mine 2 yrs ago)

 

Now there's more range of materials to re-wrap è seats & can do any designs u 1.

Price varies.

Suggest u go recce shops, prices & materials b4 deciding?

Hope this helps.

[Tanarthur]

Ok Thanks man.

[niqyap]

i did my seat rewrapping plus extra cushions at eugene saddlery, along jalan besar, somewhere opposite LAB. if you head down jalan besar towards sim lim tower, u will see it on the right hand side of the road...price less than $50

[ahzhi_scooter]
