Hi, got a question here. So far my bike mileage just over 1000km. After i've called piaggio they told me to go for service on next week. But, can i use the bike although it's already over 1000km? A week later i might probably use 300km, will it affect the bike's engine if i continue using it?

Of cos can still ride ur scoot even though its over 1000KM. Forgot to tell u that u must make an appointment with PSC at least a week b4 ur scoot hit 1K. Especially during this festive season :smile:

 

If u 1 2 save some $$ u can buy EO from any motorshop and bring it there as hey sell castrol r4 for $21 a litre and u can get it cheaper outside :cheer:

Hi fellow x8 riders,

 

Shall share with guys my first tyre puncture experience on the X8. Currently i have done around 13,000km and just done my first major servicing at Kenny's place 2 weeks prior to this.

 

Was riding normally yesterday from World trade off to Fong Seng for dinner. Realized that with just a little twist of my handle bar, the bike turn more than normal, and the bike felt shaky at every turning. Since it just finish raining a while back (roads were wet) i rode slower and slower assuming that it was the result of the rain.

 

After dinner at Fong Seng, i was off to my friends place for mahjong. Never hit the expressway (luckily) but went down Clementi road instead. The woddling and control got worse, the bike felt like it was turning off more and more even when i filter merely filter from one lane to another. Started to get a bit worried but continue to ride. (Thinking that the distance wasn't too far) Made all my turns slower and slower as the bike continue to react strangely.

 

Finally when i turn into the HDB fliter lane (which was more acute than the main road), the bike suddenly lost balance (rear like suddenly lost contact). Being somewhat mentally prepare, i manage put my legs down in time and avoid falling. Immediately placed it on side stand and check to see what was wrong... To my surprise, the rear tyre was totally flat, punctured with the lining of the rubber around the rim concave inwards and detached from the sides of the rim.

 

Had no choice but to push the bike into one of the HDB carparks and decide to wait for Monday since today both Future and PSC are closed. Just thought i'll write this to caution all X8 riders who may encounter the same problem. Pls do go straight to your shop to check, or else you may end up like me, cannot move the bike at all liao.

 

Now i'm just wondering what is the recommended milleage for tyre change? When i meet Kenny 2 weeks back during servicing, he did mention that my tyres looks like the chiong ones. Later another x8 rider confirm that the new x8 comes with lousy tyres, not michelin gold (or other reliable brands). My guess was to cut cost. Please note that when it rains, the grap of the tyres are very very bad. Have experienced slight skid on the x8 several times in the carpark.

 

Anyway, now i can only pray that the tow and tyre change wouldn't make bankrupt me. Sigh, repair just before new year to avoid this but still kana.

 

Becareful fellow X8 riders... :sweat:

Scare.. Scare... Safety first!

Hi yappies,

whelter to change the engine oil or not is up to you, anyway you are the one who's riding.

 

I got no prove to say you must change or dun need to change, but logically a new engine running will cause some waste in side, am i right to say that?

 

Personally, i did change my Engine oil even the oil filter if i am doing scooter/bike running in :smile: Hope this help :smile:

Hey Yappies, welcome to the scooter family. Its not a must to change EO at 1K but advisable. If you feel somting is wrong then you can go back to PSC to clear your doubt.

 

For nice and cute helmets I there are some shops along jalan besar that sells those. :smile:
