[onetwentyfive]

thx bro for the prompt reply!!

i'm still considering whether to buy wave or not as i travel more than 60km daily to and fro work. if i were to buy wave then i need to let go my super 4.. haizz

 

Couldn't agree more with the rest of the guys who shared their views.

 

Whatever it is, the money issue is of utmost importance. If you think riding your S4 to work and back is costly, downgrading your ride couldn't have been a better choice. Don't be pressured by friends etc that you are riding a "kup kia" and that looks like sh*t, slow lah blah blah. Cos at the end of the day its about lessening the burden on your pockets. Slowly consider and pick the best choice of what suits your lifestyle and budget.

 

As for me, i kept my wave for basic transportation and bought my S4 for outings, ridings etc. Like what another bro said, "best of both worlds".

 

Just my 2 cents worth bro! Cheers.

totally agree that money is the most important factor.

[MUSHA]

Hi guys! im Aazee btw.

still new here.

just bought a 2nd hand wave.

sadly, this morning i cant seems to start

my bike? weird. tried electric start n kick start,

nothing happen.

any idea how? or whats wrong?

 

If your Wave is a S (fuel pump type), then u need to check if there is enough petrol anot.

Chey... that means u wanna keep 2 bikes huh?

[MUSHA]

i not using the EO type thats the prob and also the air filter.

 

See how much more to top for other EO that u want lo~

[MUSHA]

I believe the EO brand can change at most top-up $.

MOTUL FTW

 

Motul - my next EO change.

[MUSHA]

sell ur super4. get a wave, save save save, den spend e savings on marriage or a superbike or for thunderstorm.

 

the only differences between a s4 and wave is the safety and $$ aspect, which of coz s4 is bloody much safer with its braking abilities and bigger tire contact area...

 

however, the similarities is that both are like chicken rice, every hawker center also have. win some, lose some, ur choice.

 

 

if money is not an issue to u, i would advice just keep the s4. i'm a poor man u see, so i'm riding a wave.

 

Don't bluff lah... don't u have a CBR1RR?

[MUSHA]

hello guys, wanna check how much can a FZ plate Wave-R fetch if sell back to bike shop?

 

Thanks.

 

This - u need to check with bike shop leh. Depending on engine condition, paintwork, etc etc.

[MUSHA]

also not using MOTUL

mine i using a homeblend by forumer called ah pek

he more active in s4 thread

 

What home-blend oil is this? Well known companies has lotsa of R&D under their belts.

[MUSHA]

The promo so weird. Engine oil and air filter replacement without spark plug change.

 

How to 'fly' after that? Hahahaha. Ups la for those getting LV pipe

 

Btw, how many here has got their air filter modded or totally removed?

[arsonist]

air filter mod as in what sense? take out the paper filter put aquarium sponge filter isit?

 

or use those cone shaped open pod filter?

 

im looking for a K&N pod filter that can fit into our wave. but i dunno the sizse

actually that ah pek guy quite famous, even my friend also talks abt him and his home blended oil pretty good according to him.

 

actually, can u feel the difference between mineral / semi and fully synthetic oil on ur wave? i change here and there... i dun feel any difference seriously... but of coz long term wise then the signs would show that fully syn is better as got lesser wear and tear... but i guess motul 710 or smht is good enuff, dont need the 300v coz our bike doesnt rev much anyway...

How ever the air filter was modded lah~

Just wanna check if there is any better in terms of acceleration.

 

I was thinking of using the original filter but removing all the paper filter in it and leave the wire mesh intact for a little filtration. Wonder if it works. Just to afraid to remove airbox, later after I cannot put it back properly I will be sian...

Of coz ah pek is famous in SBF S4 threads. It only boils down to individual preference.

I will not take that risk, just like I don't and won't use OWS Racing NA Engine Oil in my car. There is no viscosity rating on the tin!

 

But again, I won;t use cheap EO leh. I think I am just anal about it when it comes to oil and plugs.

I am using Mobil 1 0W40 for my last 2 oil change. Intend to try Motul the next round. I have used Motul 300V on my S4 before, creamy smooth sia~

ya, i really liked 300v... den i swtich to castrol once i dun really like it.. den i change now to amsoil which i feel its okay also... but i really really like 300v... just tat its on a pricer side...

 

e following info is from mike aka Uber store in sbf...

 

Engine oil are made up two component.

 

1)Base Stock

2)Addicitives

 

Base stock determines the majority of the oil characteristics and performance. It also determines if the oil is true Synthetic.

 

Basically Base Stock comes from 5 Category

 

Group 1, 2 - Dino Oil/Mineral Oil.

They are never 100% purified due to cost, hence addictives are added in to provide ample protection, however they are never friendly with heat, heat is always the no.1 Killer for Engine. Oil from these group never sufficient to protect against the no.1 killer.

 

Group 3 - Marketed as Synthetic Oil, basically they are fake synthetic oil in my context. They use Mineral Oil, modify in the lab just so that they perform like a true synthetic oil. usually Group 3 "synthetic oil" are cheaper. But then again, due to market forces, some oil players charge exorbident price for it.

 

Example of such oil using group 3 base stock, Castrol, Shell etc etc.

 

The true Real synthetic oil uses

 

Group 4 - PAO

 

Group 5 - Ester

 

Oil using the above mention base stock are usually more pricey. They provide very very good protection against heat and many other damges.

 

What differs among these group 4 and group 5 oil are actually their base stock and clutch addictives and most importantly, how they combat acidic build up in the tranny

 

**engine operating under our tropical climate, produces lots of condensation, thru heat cycle acidic foam forms and can be detrimental.***

 

Example of Group 4 and 5 oil

Amsoil

Redline

Motul

air filter mod as in what sense? take out the paper filter put aquarium sponge filter isit?

 

LOL THIS IS FUNNY!

 

HAHAHA why of all the things in the world did you choose aquarium sponge filter to compare?

[onetwentyfive]

Btw, how many here has got their air filter modded or totally removed?

 

Yeah i removed mine before. NOT GOOD DON'T TRY. I don't recommend if you are gonna take out the whole airbox and leave your stock carb bare. The response was like crap and it destroyed my engine. Do note that the carb is faced forward and that means dirt, sand and **** will get into yr carb with ease. All you gonna get is a deep engine sound after that and maybe an engine overhaul.

 

I also tried taking out the filter element and leaving the air box empty. That was much better except that its not so easy to get the proper air/fuel mixture so sometimes the bike will die on idle. This will also give you a deep engine sound.

 

Tried using a K&N open port filter (the cone shaped one) and the response was impressive. But then again wave's stock carb is decently small so you wont really get a better top speed. The most you'll feel is a slightly better acceleration. But the downside is that you can't travel during rainy days as water will get into your open filter and carb.

 

But after studying a little bit about engines, i came to conclude that whatever it is a form of air filtration should be present at all times. It protects your engine from small particles that gets sucked in. The small particles are the culprits for destroying your engine in the end.

 

Ultimately my advice is, leave your air filters stock! hahaha. Its still the best if you wanna save fuel and maintenance cost on your trusty Wave

Agreed. I tried different types of engine oil too. Pretty much the same feeling on my wave. If compared to my S4, i admit there is a real difference.

[kickarse]

Chey... that means u wanna keep 2 bikes huh?

 

used to keep 2 bikes but in the end need to let go due to money issue... haizz
