[Group] SBF Yamaha Nouvo

[Uncle]

Definitely no, unless you want to overhaul your transmission.

 

I changed with Yamaha ATF at 1000km. 2 bottles @ $6 each.

[fonghc]

Uncle, your one bottle is how many litres? the manual says only use 0.23l. Its also on the transmission cover. The manual also says yamalube 4t or 10w-30 API. thats why I am not sure. thks.

[Uncle]

One bottle is like the size of those "singer" sewing machine oil. The automatic transmission is very sensitive so just stick to approved original Yamaha lube. No 3rd party oils no matter how good they are.

till now i haven't changed the transmission oil yet,my current mileage is 3000+,bike shop say dun need.. is it true?i dun mind changing early..

Uncle, where you buy the yamaha ATF please?

[fonghc]

Thks Uncle, I too would like to know where you buy? Btw manual says first chge at 1000km.Subsequently at every 12000km.but I think its a bit too long.

i think its ok to be abit kiasu and change early,haha..

[Uncle]

Normal car ATF only change at 40k. I think the 1k change is to flush out the small metal debris from manufacturing. But since the ATF is not too expensive, you may choose to change more regularly.

 

Done at wym amk.

[fonghc]

Go down to wym to get the oil later this week.What abt the foam filter oil?

[Uncle]

I intend to use my K&N filter oil that I use on my car. Dunno what they have on this.

 

So far don't really know what else to change/do besides the oils during servicing. Those guys also don't check the bike for you, unlike in a standard car servicing where they will do certain SOP checks and tuning.

 

I think our bike model is still fairly new and uncommon. Hence not many mechanics have good experience on it. When I changed the ATF, sampo only took 1 bottle. But while changing, the mechanic said not enough after emptying the first bottle.

 

I supposed if anything you don't feel alright, just have to tell them to check.

[gunnerjack]

hey there,just wanna ask. how much does a 2nd hand FBA plate nouvo costs?

[alifk69]

dunno if got 2nd hand selling at shop... never see before..

[alifk69]

how abt the coolant? how often u guys change?

[Uncle]

In my memory, I've never flushed the coolant in my years or driving. They are quite durable as they are not part of the power train. The only thing to check is that they stay above the min level.

 

The manual should state the frequency of change.

[Uncle]

I think Nouvo Elegance will not have FBA plates since it's less than a year old. If you managed to find a 2nd hand Nouvo Elegance, it's most likely a lemon that got involved in some accident.

 

Older Nouvo models FBA plate yes. But dunno the price.

[Uncle]

Brothers, is there a way to get the side mirrors to view directly behind at your 6 o'clock instead of the 5 and 7 o'clock? I remember those Honda 125cc learner bikes could see the rear very well.
