btw.. if nv oil/wax/lubricate de chain.. wat will happen???? i already 3 mths nv lubricate my chain lao.. will something happen??

thanks..

A thicker oil will always mask engine noises better, but it doesn't really eliminate the source of the noise (problem). If you have an overly loose tensioner, then you need to get it sorted out, the mechanical problem of it exists even with a thicker oil although you do not hear as loud a noise. I generally recommend Extra 15W50 or Synblend 20W50 for TA. Glad you like the great shifting qualities that comes with Maxima :thumb:

Can we or can we not lube our chain using WD40?

Better not if you are using O-Ring chains. WD-40 might damage the rings. Anyway, chain lube is pretty cheap, can get a decent brand one for ~$10 nia, so its worth the investment to buy a dedicated ORing safe chain lube.

Anyway Kiamh, where'd you do your Plate Number and how much? How long must we wait?

My number plate? I dun remember the shop name but its opposite the Ducati showroom (Minerva Motors) on Lavender Rd, same row as 219.

 

About $22 I think. 1 day lead time. Order today, collect tomorrow.

Piston and piston ring problem. :nono:

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

What can cause that? Riding style? Or wear and tear? :giddy:

It seems like the idiling is too low. Don't because of save petrol, then tune low idiling. It will be quite pressure when you are able to move off from traffic then eng die off. Sometimes, cars behind will keep horning. I encounter it last time, no more low idiling for me.

can someone explain to me wats the term "overhaul" means?

Simplistically, it means opening up the engine to service/replace the parts inside.

Very labour intensive...

Planet stocks Extra 15W50 only. Maybe you guys can ask Ah Chong to stock some Maxima Semi. I feel the semi is really the right choice for phantoms because you guys lack an oil filter and will need to replace the oil to get rid of the solid impurities.
