Don't waste money on Iridium plugs on Wave la. Use NGK G-Power (platinum) can already. Better acceleration than the normal plugs..... and cheaper than iridium some more.....

Hi RxzDelux,

 

how much would a NGK G-power(platinum) plug cost at Ah boy?

 

cheerS!

change to k&n air filter, u will feel the difference in acceleration and throttle response

Pauche,

 

where do u recommend me fix up the knn air filter.

and any idea how much it is going to cost?

 

cheers!

How much $$$ is dat Delphi Fully Synthetic?

 

Yes fully synthetics can be mixed with mineral end up u get a semi synthetic Engine Oil but Not WORTH the money because u buy fully synthetic so expensive already. Might as well u buy semi synthetic straight from shop. It's much much cheaper than blending your own.

 

Fully synthetic + mineral = semi synthetic

i can't remember the price coz i throw away the receipt liao..

 

anyway, my wave failed on me yesterday...

 

engine die on the road... check petrol... got leh but last bar blinking since AMK to jurong to wdl n to jurong... tot no petrol so go push to nearnest petrol station n pump... start again oso cannot... check engine oil... see below the minumin... tink going to spend money n replace piston... ask my papa come down... clean spark plug... top up my remaining 200ml delphi engine oil which i last had my oil change at sanfu... bike work again...

 

my papa now using mineral based engine oil but my delphi engine oil is full synthetic... duno whether can mix or not... maybe i go ask in da bike byte section...

 

 

heng ar... no need spend money...

luckily got my gf accompany me push bike... her sooo much...

No need spend money? dun be so happy yet........

 

Ur block n piston confirm kena damage already. If u dun mind performance, should be able to ride lah. but please check ur engine oil every 1 or 2 days from now on.

 

Now just pray ur engine wun cease again. good luck!!

dont think mineral and full synthetic oil can really mix well

why dont ask yr dad to help u buy leh? then u change the oil yrself lorz....

 

anyway....is this really a case of piston seize?

cause if piston seize liao the rear wheel should jam at least abit right??

and since the only way to clutch-in for wave = depress gear lever all the way

 

dont think bro tyrian needed to do that to push the bike leh....

:confused:

fin K&N filter for wave?

 

wave can install K&N filter ar... wat's the results?

[Guest rookie517]

just change ya engine oil again will do.

[mechwira]

i wanna ask a question about the wave, sorry if its been discussed before in this thread, but its 80++ pages long donno how to read thru all

 

the wave has no clutch right? i've done clutchless shifts upwards on my phantom, i know how that works, but clutchless shifts down will spoil the bike. even if it wont, the very sudden engine break will make one lose a little control. so how does this work on the wave? and how does it go into neutral?

 

my dad thinking of getting either wave or y125z, obviously i'll park my name on the insurance if he does get either one, so i wondering how the wave works. thanx.

[Tyrian]

for honda wave right... it's indeed a cluthless system... when to know how to shift up gear? hear the engine sound loh... but since there is no clutch, you may worry that it will damage the engine... but actually, no... it doesn't.

 

but if in any case that u need to "clutch in" for any reason, just hold onto the gear lever will do... what do i mean? let's put it this way... when u wanna shift gear, u press down the gear... when u press down, usually u will release the gear straight n slowly release clutch... in the wave, when u press on the gear lever, it's actually "clutch in"...

yes... actually, the wave does have a clutch... its built in together with the gear shifter... then u depress the gear shift slightly, the engine frees the gears (clutching in)... a full depress would engage the higher gear... one thing i've noticed is on the down gear (upshift), there is no freeing of gears... so the way to counter the jerk when dropping gears is to blip (quick opening of throttle) the throttle and upshifting at the same time... this method raises the engine rev slightly so that when u engage the lower gear, the transition will be smoother and viola!!! no jerking effect...

hi tyrian,

 

maybe your wave engine box is leaking?

me n my fren's wave never faced engine oil low

problem b4.

 

we change oil every 2000km. Mm mileage is

coming to 12000km.

 

some where must be leaking, i guess.

 

personally, i dont think much harm can arise

from mixing oils for your wave, imho.

 

but for my sT11, i use full synthetic, so it can

last longer and i dont have to service that often.

 

for my wave a cheapo oil will do fine, cos i

prefer to change it often and at every 2k.

 

cheers!

Hi alll,

 

i just saw a wave rider whose rim has the word Excel and Honda.

It is 3 spoke, not 5 or 6 that is common on the road.

The colour is black and silver, and the 3 spokes are slightly curved.

 

hv u guys come across this b4?

 

cheers!

Those type of rims can be easily bought at Johor Baru, Malaysia. It cost my friend RM400 to get it fix on his red wave...

maybe piston wiper seal no good liaoz?

cant wipe off all the engine oil properly...ended up the amt of engine oil left in yr bike getting lesser and lesser?

Dat's why la u never check engine oil right? Come I SHARE with all wave riders here who love their wave engine. If use fully synthetic i notice it starts to evaporate after the 2000km mark. So after 2200km can check liao. If go down then top up or change engine Oil la to get tip top performance. Just thru my experience.

 

I mix mineral with my fully synthetic b4. No side effects la as long as u take care the level of the engine oil in the engine.

No Leak and engine oil low? I guess it's time for u to change engine oil the best solution. The viscosity becomes very thin already i guess which leads to high evaporation when used.

[Tyrian]

anyway... i didn't oil can evaporate...

 

 

anyway, i juz top up another 400ml of esso 4t mineral based engine oil... hope to last beyond the 30K mileage mark which has less than 1200km to go...

[dAdEvIL]

Hi to all wave riders, i currently have a problem on my new ride hope u brothers out there could help me solve my problems as it is a new bike and i dunnoe why i facing this kinda problem...it goes like this when i turn da trottle fully on da bike i can sense a sudden pull back or should i say that there is a sudden pull back dunnoe why its like when i m travelling at da speed of 90 then i turn da trottle fully it will go to 100km/h then fall back to 90 km/h again then if i turn 3/4 of a trottle it wont have a sudden pull...can any1 or maybe any1 who faced this problem b4 care to share it wid me...once again i am riding a wave I which is running on fuel injection...Thanks in advance....Ch3ErZ...

[Tyrian]

when u open throttle, u dun open one big shot...

 

when u open throttle, u should gradually open... den u wun have the sudden pull back effect...

 

it's da same for every bike...

[dAdEvIL]

even if i turn slowly...when i turn to full trottle da bike straight away pull back and dosent wanna move like jammed like tat

Dun understand y u all use fully synthetic engine oil, kena burned up by the engine u all still wan to take the risk of using it. y dun just use the normal semi synthetic engine oil, or if u all ythink the more ex the better, then go find the most expensive semi-synthetic engine oil to use lor. dun understand y u all like the feelings of checking ur engine oil every other day n then always have the feeling of engine oil not enough liao......must top up.

oh... wat do u mean by dat? can elaborate?

 

 

anyway, now i feel that a honda wave doesn't need the most expensive fully synthetic oil... i've been thinking of switching to cheapo mineral based oil...

 

 

anyway, oil will evaporate or not ar... coz duno y the oil level will go down but i find no leakage or something leh...
