when you going to flush your coolant again? if possible, will like to DIY with you...

 

i brought mine to one of the bikeshop and they really did not do a good job; just drain the coolant 2 times and fill up with tap water...

That's the problem with our workshops, always use what is most conveniently available and as long as can move can liao. Tap water is actually no good for our engines but I guess they think our machines are not expected to be on the road for very long. I also prefer DIY whenever possible.

I must admit... I know nuts abt DIY! Am quite the noobie here! scared of messing up the bike if I try to "gey kiang"... but even if I try to gey kiang, also dunno where to begin! haha...

Excusable la for you. Even our "mototiam" mechs if you watch them do things will after putting back your parts have extra screws etc and try and "hai-gong" you and say no need one...really can't stand that man.

wat i would do is to insist to have those screws put bk to where ever it was taken out from. however it is true that if you mod certain things to ur bike, you may not be able to use bk the same screw. for instance, i changed to hella horns, the screws on the fairing had to be replaced by another type and using an aft mkt exhaust means tat u hv to remove the screw near the belly of the exhaust to be abt to fit it. i always make it a point to ask bk whatever tat was removed because u never know when u will need it and esp when u want to sell ur bike stock, all mod stuff may be removed and replaced w stock and these things will come in v handy.

btw, do u guys warm up ur bike b4 riding? usually i will start the bike put on my helmie and off i go. unless it's been parked there for a few days i will warm up a bit 1st. wonder if it's must to warm up the bike every time....hmm

[khookahkiat]

For me, I always warm up the engine for at least a min or 2 first before moving off...

 

Just like when I go jogging, I always conduct warmup exercises... so that I wont get cramps later on...

No harm warming up, but actually with our kind of temperatures and the modern oils it is not necessary. What I do do is to ride slowly first till I reach the main road and then progressively increase from there.

hehe tat's true.

[carbine]

i believe in @ least a 3min warm up after a nite or parking...no matter how modern the oils are...it still take time to travel up from oil sump to cylinders...

Yes, oil will drip down to sump...mostly, but modern oils always leave a coating. Also the requirement to warm up is actually because in the old days oils were of single grade and so have a very limited temperature range. You would have to warm up then to get the oil to the correct viscosity. However todays oils, especially synthetics are already at the correct viscosity even at room temperatures especially in our equatorial climate.

 

If you do wish to warm up, you should run the engine at approx 1500-2000rpm at least as too low an rpm will not run the oil through the system properly. As such it is the same as riding off slowly at a controlled rpm.

 

Having said all this, it is individual preference and of course there is no harm warming up.

[kennethy]

hahaha... i love my bike too... but at times i think singaporean are too attached to their vehicles...

 

for me, my bike is the next best machine other than my computer... but i never get to the extend of getting so attached that it is like a part of me for non-living objects.

Oh ya , I forgot the in-betweens, sorry.

 

UnIoNbIkEz : The tricolor one is 2006 model. When I checked with Boon Siew in Jan, they say it would arrive towards middle of the year. I suspect most shops still trying to get rid of old stock, ie bikes manufactured in 2005.

Nowadays, eyeballing alone also cannot confirm, so difficult to be sure

 

Good reminder, always be extra careful on wet roads if you wish to ride. My baby is sitting pretty at home as I am away in Seoul now.
