hahaha....everytime i top up my wave patrol is about 3 litres only....so i think i didnt utilise the full tank of 4 litres at all, but hor, my mileage is about 170km...so i think i managed to squeeze 55km/litres leh....

 

anyway, Don, when u put up stickers on your KIPS liao must tell ok...so see you can say hello mah....so what colour is your KIPS huh?

hrm

actually quite hard to fully utilise the 4litres lar

u need to take a certain amt of risk having to push yr bike to the nearest petrol kiosk if yr calculation fails u

haha

ai seh...dont know why..all the bike i used to ride all have lower mileage per tank compared to other pple

 

my kips is stock grey/silver lor

haha...color scheme is somewhat similar to my old silver wave

I think u never lube your chain is it? If chain got lube will last more longer!. Just remember to lube your chain every 500-600km.

chain lube got a lot of brands lar

more popular ones will be brands like PJ1 blue cap, maxima, etc

 

i suppose yr wave is still using the original chainguard

so juz take the size 10 spanner frm the toolkit provided along w/ the bike

then take out those 2 bolts which are holding on to the upper or lower chainguard (depending on whether u choose to open the upper or lower one..they are separate pieces)

 

then u have it..open access to the chain

to have optimum effect..lube the chain after it has already warmed up..e.g after u have come back frm work etc

and after lube...let the bike rest for the nxt few hrs or so

 

alternatively..u can simply drop by any motordiam and ask them to lube for u also lar..haha

Hi wave riders,

 

The wave carb got a tuning screw called airhole or something like that issit?

 

Is it if yr engine keep dying, u have to open the airhole bigger? Is it by turning clockwise?

 

Use screwdriver thru the hole on the faring rite?? That one rite??

Thanks man..i turn the idling screw clockwise and it's better now.

 

But just to check w u guys...Is yr bike tuned in such a way that when in morning u start yr bike for first time, does yr bike start immediately after pressing the starter button? Or do u need to use choke or throttle abit when starting?

[hilfiger]

1 more question.... the air-intake screw does anyone know how to adjust n tune??

most waves r lik tat in the morning...start the 1st time sure die off wan...maybe u try open choke then start n maintain 4 awhile then close choke lor.

i would say most waves r lik tat in the morning but not all.

the tuning of the air flow screw is not so easy to diy unless u r experience.better to let the mech do it.its varies alot depending on whether u r using stock exhuast or modded wan n carb n bla bla bla....so better dun meddle wif it

greetings wavers .......after browsing through d honda wave forum for info .......it seems dat mosts wavers would recommend d michelin pilot sport tyres for its roadworthiness........MY question is....... where in $pore could we fix does tyres....izzit d usual suspect bike shop like HKL? mah motor? wat would be d price for d both sets of tyres? below $150 (include workmanship?) many thnks for the great help........

 

PS : does it make any diffrence tyres made in japan /thailand/malaysia?

Fren..u think too far already.....$150 can let u change almost 3 pairs of tyres already. in singapore, i think it would cost u about $60 for a pair only. dun think until superbike standard.

Most of the cub tyres are thailand made because the profit margin is very small which they can't make much if it is made in japan. For Honda Wave all Original parts are made in Thailand. cheers.

i think what kind/brand of engine oil u use will somewhat affect the bike's ability to start in the morning

 

for me..that time when i use castrol r4...the bike could start one time in the morning w/ the help of a little bit of throttling
