im currently using the castrol activ-x

bought for $5.50 nia

regretted...intended to get a fully synthetic oil initially....

but dint read the label behind properly

it says 'engine oil with synthetic particles'

so i doubt activ-x is a fully syn oil lor

cause semi-syn also can have syn particles what...not necessary fully syn

going for another oil change soon

IMO, the wave is already so maintainance free, nothing much to pay for, might as well pay a few dollars more to get a full syn-engine oil. Last time i use semi-syn, i often drag and always hit 100km/h++ , just after 800km+, engine already got cruching sound, it's like the gears operate with a lot of friction, then i tulan, go Mah motor change Motul full-syn, very smooth. Now trying out the Shell Full-syn racing oil. so far not bad, but i think Motul should be better...

all new bikes coming to sg have to go LTA for inspection. I suppose the front basket mounting failed, thus all waves coming to sg have to get it removed, although it is suppose to be a stock item when made in thailand.

 

i believe u can always check with LTA before kena summon then go fight for your stand.

Not only a bit, I saw some1 put his backbag in the front basket.

Whole headlight been block, plus the reflection from the backbag.

I dare to say due to contrast he should not be able the see the road condition.

U mean Castrol Activ 4T(20W-50) NO GOOD is it? What I know Castrol Activ 4T is synthetic-base. Not Fully synthetic. So How does it perform on your wave don?

haha

wah...watssup w/ the NO GOOD in caps? scares me siah

personally i prefer fully syn engine oil as i tend to abuse the throttle now and then

haha...so anything lesser than fully syn oil would not be satisfactory to me

find not much of difference in performance compared to my old engine oil....dont know what brand or grade my old engine oil is...cause it was changed by the prev owner

the original ones w/ that thick layer of rubber should be able toabsorb some of that vibration bah.....

 

tink it's possible to get a cheap chain for $20+ lar...for better higher end branded ones...then i not so sure liao

[Guest rogerng]

thnx!

was quoted 34 bucks for mich pilot at eunos superbike. If im not wrong the tt900(or isit tt90? ) is about 5 to 10 bucks more.

Im not sure if its reasonable price; perhaps can ask ol timers here

 

u guys change e sprocketz n chainz to diff settingz or e original?

heard tat if its diff from e original,it will vibrate more n itz noisy. Care to share ur 20centz worth?(or isit 2 centz? )

Try to check your CHAIN tension first. I guess your chain has loosen! Feedback to this thread once u rectified it. Sharing is POWER ! dude in trying.
