Thanks guys!!

 

All your replies sure are useful.

erm. Can i also ask what happens if your tank hit reserve? how do you know?

Sorry but i reali v.noob

simple lor, you are new rider,

when you throttle and seems like no power to move and bike engine seems like going to stall.

 

never try this LUCK, always pump full or just top-up ervery day or 200km or 300 km.

 

you are new rider, and you start to panic as you are on the expressway while your bike reach reserved, will CAUSE trouble.

Yup.. I agree wif this.. Anyway, if u hit 300km liao ur main tank oso going to be empty soon.. Might as well go pump petrol.. It will not be long when u realised ur main tank is empty..

 

Then i got another frd who pumped his tank every fri..

 

Another thing is u must c where u going.. Let's say u hit bout 280km liao then u nd to go somewhere far.. Let's juz say from changi to jurong.. Better go pump petrol b4 u depart on ur trip.. Coz if u r not veri gd at switching fuel knobs while on the expressway, not advisable.. Although i riding custom 4 i still practise this method.. Dun wan the low fuel indicator to light up during my trip.. Troublesome if still hav a long way to reach my destination..

Hi guys, btw, do u guys know tat when I finish paying all the instalments, the bike is offically mine rite? Meaning I can sell it if i wan to? Then at the last instalment, wat am I suppose to get from the bike shop?

 

I'm supposed to get back my log card and another one of my keys rite? Coz so far I'm given onli 1 key.. The other key suppose to be at the shop in case tat I didn't pay up they will come tow my bike away.. Izzit true?

hey guys,

 

i'd like to ask, should i change my e.o even if it's still quite clean and still alot but i've already clocked in 2500km?

 

and how often shoudl i go for a full service?

 

thanks for the info guys.

[TheYasMan]

how do you know it's clean eh?

[scarr]

some ppl say it'll turn black and is less viscous? but then again does the e.o become that way after a certain time? anyone knows? i'm still a newb and still learning.

Hmm.. When to change EO depends on individual.. From wat i know, phantom got no oil filter, so it's better to change ur EO earlier coz of fine metal particles due to the friction of the gears (am I right?) For me, i kiasu abit, i change my EO every 2000km.. Some change at 2500km..

 

Full servicing is normally done every 10000km..

[sky_vinz]

Hi knights! Juz wondering, is there any product in e market such as suspension protectors for Phantoms? Juz like those for Super 4's front suspensions..

[Blackenese]

I think madman website got one something like wat u mention......

 

Front Fork Cover i think....

[sky_vinz]

Blackenese: Erm, wat I meant was tat piece of plastic ring, to protect from dust n sand. Thks anyway! =)

The brake piston might be jam.

Wait no more and visit you preferred motorshop and service your caliper.

You mean from a stop, you move off in 2nd or 3rd gear?

I think it's normal to be able to.

i think it varies from shop to shop..

i suggest you enquire your bikeshop about it.

If you DO have and still are in a warranty period, i guess it *should* be covered.
