How did you check the bike? Ask experienced friends? Or brought it to a mechanic to test ride it?

[Sky99]

I wonder how many mechanic would actually be kind enough to check ur bike for you for the first time when you are not their regular?

 

Will the checking be very expensive?

not yet but this fri going down with my rider friend agn to check engine all, but test ride? lol .. btw you know how to see bike good anot?

[Vashie]

Plan*t motor's ah chong helped me check my bike for free. He test ride it too.

Some other shop may charge you...but I didn't get charged that day, as nothing need changing other than piston.

 

Test ride then can hear the engine sound...but it's considered illegal.

I don't know...first time bought bike also...that's why gotten a problematic one. But I did set aside some $$ for repairs.

brother, there are alot of other things that can and need to be check than engine oil. things you can check without riding are things like brakes, shock, fork, any weird engine sound and etc.

 

for engine oil, most 2b bike require 1l only, so just change it when you take over the bike lor. semi syn only $8-10. full syn around $20.

sp also better for the thieves to steal. better invest in more protection.

SP is cheaper but like what bro stanco said it is very easy to steal also. my fren's sp got stolen twice already. after the 2nd time he sold the bike. there is also a rumour that the master key for SP can be bought in the internet. but i also don't know whether it's true.

Yesterday I parked at the row of lots behind FC4 koufu for a 1 hour lesson.

When I come back...I saw the kup beside me...full of ants!!!

The lots there really is scary.

[Jeethan]

full of ants??????? why did the ants build a nest there?

[Vashie]

Not sure...I think the lots there a lot of bugs...after I saw the bike infested with ants, I quickly turn towards my bike and saw one ant-like thing...quickly sweep away then ride away asap!

[Vashie]

Hey Sky99. Good for you!

Checking when turning is really important...you won't know what other people on the road is thinking. Especially for filter lanes, the most horrible place ever...hard to make up mind to go or stop when cannot see properly. Experience is very important...you might take 3 times to pass this, but you gained more valuable road experience! Good luck for next pract!

[Sky99]

Thinking of going 7.01 next week..

Yah I heard abt this but is thr nth we can do to prevent sp theft? Like installing brake disc lock, theft alarm and change ignition starter will help prevent from masterkey thefts?

No matter how many defence mechanism you install...they can just carry your bike, put on truck and drive it away!

 

Almost accident just now.

lol why nearly accident what happen?

 

btw i meant if some thief has the honda sp masterkey, will he have access to ALL parts of my bikes? And no measures can be taken to counter this?

cos i read an article abt a stolen Honda NSR150 SP which happened a few years back

Clementi that area is quite dangerous in the morning. Because of bus lane, 3 lanes become 2.

 

I was travelling at the most outer lane at around ~50km/h. When I just pass a traffic junction, I saw the middle lane jam. Suddenly, one car drove out from the middle lane without warning or signal around few meters in front then stopped for no reason!

Change lane without signal never mind, but he stopped after changing lane for no reason!

I don't even have time to horn...quickly do my first phantom E-brake...scary. Just nice stopped with a few cm to spare between my front tire and his bumper. If I not wrong, a rider on phantom helped me to horn that guy when he do that stunt.

if they want to steal, they can just load the bike into the lorry and go. but locally, those people that stole sp are mainly for joyride, so having some form of deterrence will help to some extend ba. they see you got disc brake lock or accidentally activate your alarm, they should run liao, if not move to another target. those big syndicate... i think they rather steal newer and bigger bike than to a sp.
