[Discussion] Typical prices for Phantom repairs & mods

[jtzx]

yup.. best to follow his advice. as his in this line for years... you might wanna do your own research too ;-)

[Hydher]

The last time I changed engine oil ah chong said brake pads must change at next EO change. I asked him front or back, he said both.

 

Today I changed EO, and he changed the rear brake pads and pump because the pump was stuck. Then he said the front brake pad still have a lot to go. Although I feel it is really very soft. Have to trust him... but sometimes I don't understand how all this works.

 

You want to accuse people yet you yourself dont even know what you are talking about. A brake mechanism on a motorbike is different as of your bicycle. there is the pump, brake fluid , cables etc. I suggest to get ur fluid changed.

If you braking is soft, its very likely that you have air bubbles in your brake lines. Will have to bleed your brake lines to resolve. Ah chong will know what to do. Phantom rear brake pump has a problem of getting stuck, also another common issue.

my my relax, our dear fren is only not too sure of how the brake pump works, and that by trusting Ah Chong, he in turn entrust Ah Chong his life also, as thats one of the ingredient to a safe riding career.....

 

well peace peace...

 

Huat Ah!!!

Been trying also, but i guess we gotta be patient. He probably has a great reason for the hiatus as PinkPhantom's biz is his passion.

And perhaps this should go to the Cosmetic thread.

May I know what mistake I made? I narrated what Ah Chong did to my bike, I'm not making any claims about my knowledge.

 

I'm definitely not accusing anyone. Quite the opposite, I really trust Ah Chong because I don't know anything. Everything he say change I change. Everytime I go for simple oil change the bill comes up to triple digit. But like hamsterwhale said, its my life, I have to trust him in an area I don't know about.

 

Regarding the brakes, he did bleed the rear brake and change the fluid, but he said the front brakes were fine. I suppose my feeling of "soft" is not really soft.

 

Anyway it might be just a coincidence, I think your reference to bicycles was more ironic than anything else, but I love bicycle maintenance. That's one area I'm less shy to claim some knowledge.

- How many times have you went there?

- Did you request for them to check for wear & tear items to change also? Or you just ask them to change EO and they "add on" other things?

- Ah Chong tell you or his crew?

 

The reason I ask is, if I go change EO only, I never end up bleeding brake fuild too unless I specifically asked for it.

[Toyota23]

ya.. in need a highway bar with Two Spot light on it.....

No no... I'm not saying I get chop or anything like that. My point is that my bike always comes up with new ways to burn money. Its about three times - tires, tensioner (which is not triple digit price, I exaggerate), and brake pump is the latest. Ah Chong tells me and asks me if I want to do. For example the brake pump he told me should change, because it might get jammed while e-braking. I usually just leave the bike to him to feel around and whatever he says I pay.

 

Maybe its because I seldom ride. Because Ah Chong exclaimed surprise at my bike's low mileage (24000 for 4 years, and less than 4000 in the last year). I told him I only ride about 3 times a week, he said that for Phantom the less you ride the more problems it gives. On the bright side he did say my bike sound is nice because engine still good.

ha... ok... from now on, just maintain the bike well ok? then the bike will serve you well

 

do let ah chong ride your bike to see if there might be other things that should be fixed or adjusted

alright. thanks for clarifying.Sorry that i sounded harsh. Perhaps next time you can tell ah chong what you feel. Also, i learnt that can ask them to use compressed air to blow your brake disc. Can really see brake dust flying out man.

 

btw, check this pic out on my post. http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5394711#post5394711
