HI Bro

 

Relax... I think they doesnt mean any harm...

 

Anyway the market price for a wave is ard $2k to $2.5k for a 1 to 2 yrs old bike. If you are planning to ride for long, you can always go for a brand new bike which costs ard $3.5k OTR. They are 3 models basically S model, R model and I model, first 2 being the carb version and last being the injector version.

 

It'd be better if go for "look look see see" before making any purchase as its always good to view more.

 

You are free to ask any questions here and we'll gladly try to help you much as possible.

 

Cheers

OK,,,ok,I'm cool now, thank you. What is OTR sir?

Wave-R --- Cheapest among the wave series.. it is the most basic bike which nice paintwork in all sorts of colours. No digital odometer/fuel gauge. Matrix-look analog meters. Using carb fuel system. Suspension in yellow colour but just as sucky as the other waves stock suspension. Fuel tank capacity:4l

 

Wave-S --- Middle in price among wave series.. Comes with Digital Odometer/fuel gauge. Uses carb fuel system. Fuel tank capacity:4l

 

Wave-I --- Most expensive among wave series.. Comes with Digital Odometer/fuel gauge. Uses a fuel injection system. Fuel tank capacity:3.7l

 

*Please take note. The first batch of Wave-I comes with problems with the ECU. I bought my wave about more than half a year ago(second batch) and is serving me very well averaging 60+Km per liter.

 

*Please take note, certain Wave-S do have carb problems for reasons my friends are also note sure of. It Might just be a particular shipment. But overall the Wave-S/R is a bike that is easy and cheap to maintain.

 

If ur budget is low, i suggest you get the Wave-R. But if u are just willing to squeeze abit more dough out, get the Wave-S cause of the digital thingy. If u are a techno-slave like me, get the Wave-I for the very best in technology. Each has it's own risk. Take your pick.

 

For insurance, im paying 280+ for a TPFT under my dad's name. Abit ex..

[Me_No_Money]

how much u bought ur Wave-I??is it e most fuel saving among Wave???does it cms wth sports rim or izzit that all Wave series dont cm with sports rim??lastly y do u say Wave-I not as easily maintain as other 2 series???

[Bunta]

I'm willing to top up $$$ to you. Please contact 96329446, Lim to discuss further. Thanks !!!

I bought my Wave-I for 4K+ which includes my loan interest, IU, insurance, road tax and agreement fee.

 

Yes its the most fuel saving among all waves. The worst mileage i ever got was 57Km per liter and that was when i keep on tua top speed lol. Mileage also depends alot on the rider and how you take care of the bike.

 

Yes u are right, all Wave dont come with sport rims.

 

Im not saying Wave-I not easy to maintain, its the usual 2000-3000km servicing of engine oil and spark plug, since there is no carb, no need to service it. I pump only Shell V-power. I knows its abit overkill for a small bike, but hey its only 0.30c or so more for a full tank compared to a 98.

 

Get a Wave-I only if u are serious about it, else try getting the S or the R cos alot of motortiam don't know how to repair a EFI bike, if for some reasons your EFI something wrong, they would ask you to change the whole EFI unit unlike bigger bike shops that can repair it.

Hi all, recently I bought a 1st hand honda wave "R" and have been riding about 2mths now and already have 3000km on it already. I pump shell 98 should be ok right ? I jus wana ask which engine oil and spark plug is the best for honda wave ? and also how frequently must i change the engine oil and spark plug ? I have oredi change my engine oil 2 times already. The 1st time i change engine oil was 800km and the 2nd time i change was 2000km. Both times i use silkolene semi synthetic engine oil ... any good brands to recommend for wave ?? Anyone use fully synthetic engine oil for their wave ? So now i have already "run-in" finish liao so my mechanic recommends that i change engine oil every 2000km. Until now i have not change spark plug yet .... wat type of spark plug good for wave ? and also last question anyone knows got any shops in singapore other than ah boy sells spare parts and accessories exclusively for honda wave ???? My fren told me got a few shops that sells accessories specially for honda wave but dunnoo where is it anyone can help ?

No idea for the price for a second hand one.. but if i were u, i'll get a brand new Wave-I if u want to get one. If get second hand, go for a Wave-S/R. FI bike no carb, if the FI unit spoilt must go bigger shop to repair.. but sometimes bigger shop only repair the bike they sold.. etc. Lee Motor. So ask around before buying it.. also get a warrenty in black and white from the bike shop that covers the FI unit for at least a year. This only applies when u buy a Wave-I.

Good to know you r learning fast =)

 

Carb is indeed cheaper as compared to the Fi model, but I'd say only for brand new bike. For second hand, the market price stays ard the same ranging from $2k to $2.5k. If you are looking for easy maintain bike, I'd suggest that you go for the carb version as most motorshops will be able to service and repair or you can either choose to DIY (Do-It-Yourself). Try meddling around with the bike and you'll realise how much you can save by servicing it yourself as it is relatively easy to dismantle and dismount the bike.

Thats y i only advise ppl to buy a Wave-I only if they really love the bike and not going to upgrade for a long long time. The carb model of the Waves are definately reliable.
