Description : change e.o.,spark plug

 

********************************************************************

 

How do i check the e.o. level? the dipstick dun have any clear markings. And to change spark plug do have to remove the fairings? Lubricate chain also need to remove swing arm??

 

Please help cos i dunno many bikers. Or anyone have weblink to diagrams on the parts of wave 125s?

 

Thanks

That's an area about 1cm long with xxxx mark at the dipper, make sure the oil cover this whole area. Spark plug can be remove easily w/o open the fairing. To lub the chain, remove the bottom chain cover.

Hand tighten first then tighten use the tool dat is provided with the bike. As attached.

 

From the left of the screen is the tighten plug tool. Can tighten with the spanner of 17-14. Use the 14 size one.

thanks for the info. i've done some research... if spark plug is new, tighten 1/4 of a turn. if re-use, tighten 1/2 of a turn.

Aiya pity u la. Nobody come to your rescue. Hehe.

 

1) Normal servicing is Spark Plug and Engine Oil. Every month one time change. Air Filter change every 12 000km according to manual. Wave-S have NO OIL FILTER.

 

2) According to specs is 4 litres of petrol but then i have tried until i push my bike to the petrol kiosk because EMPTY already. I pumped can MAX to 3.85 litres only. The LAST BLINKING bar can get u ard 30KM. So when start blinking pray hard dat before the next 30km u meet a petrol kiosk or u can push your bike after dat.

 

3) Manual? Yes there is but it is in THAI language. Unless u know how to read Thai then it is useful else i don think it is useful for u.

 

Hope dat help u.

Wah so good ah u got the english manual. Can photocopy for me one manual? Thanks. Later i pay u.

[vivalascoot]

hi, was just wondering if say i take more than a month to click 2k or 3k, and i never change e engine oil will it spoil or something.. or is it better to change every month ah? thanks a plenty

[silversurfer2012]

just wait for the manual to come up and be a judge for it yourself.

 

As for me, its a monthly affair even though i dont ride my bike that often now.

but i do have a friend that does it once every 2 months, so far so good.

Well, it depends on the owner dat is YOU. Yourself. For me i got records for the mileage. SO i use mileage which is more economy and more to the safe side. If u lazy wan to keep track then do it monthly. U choose la which one u wan.

 

Never change engine oil after 3000km? Well juz wait your piston to seize only la. Then later got white smoke come out. After dat can change piston liao.

[Jamaican Jawa]

wat rxzdelux say is true...

wat i believed is tat dun put 100% belief in ur fuel gauge..

its nt tat accurate..

if can follow ur mileage..even better..

i hope tis enlighten u further..

I fall down twice on the factory stock tyres. What lousy tyres they give me. I change already to soft compound tyres. Works wonderful. Grip even on rainy days.

May I know what is the tyre you changed? Brand, model and how much does it cost and where to change it? Thank you.

if there is no major problem i dun see the need of overhaul maybe can solve it by doing a full service. if u wanna get a set of fairing of ur choice of colour only,y dun u send it for spray.as the colour of the original colour is limited.

 

 

 

my 2 cents worth

[FrdAuZ]

my 'head fairing' abit chipped..wana get new one..i hitnk wave DIY spar very easy

[stykah]

wanted to overhaul coz my piston and piston ring koyak oredi... wanted to buy a new farring coz my own farring alot of parts r chip and broken

[FrdAuZ]

Maybe going JB next week to change EO,sparplug and service carb.. That is if i got my wave by end of the week..
