From the thai wave manual.

 

regular use the NGK 6 or Denso 20..

[belang]

if u pour the entire bottle the you kill the respons from the engine because the engine is to heavy to do all job inside there..it cant effect to the engine but effect the acceleration and pick up..so when u change the engine oil make sure u pour the oil depend to the thick of the engine oil..u can see the thick at bottom of the stick engine oil when u open it..

standart plug is ngk6..ngk8 and ngk9 is use for racing only not suitable for road use..racing engine always hot and need cold plug coz ngk8 and ngk 9 is cold plug..if u use racing plug u cant fell any different than standart plug

too much engine oil will cause unwanted pressure within the engine casing affecting gaskets and ultimately engine oil leaks.

so pouring 1L of engine oil is not recommended based on the website?

not only on the webbie...but u go ask a trustworthy mech,they will say 'POUR IN ONLY REQUIRED AMOUNT'...not saying mechs are no good,but that's how they make money.tell u **** and bull stories then chop u slowly.no offences to mechs worldwide but 'This is the Truth...And Truth hurts'!!!cheers!

u tried teck thye? david can do wonders on his good days.. used to frequent him when i riding big bike last time..

 

where is teck thye anyway? sorry.. nv heard b4..

[etky85]

Hi bro,

 

from my point of view, there's no after market oil seal for fork. And I strongly believe that original fork is stronger than those fancy forks (e.g. Ride It - looks extremely cool design). I suggest you to find a good mechanic, ask him to service your fork, use original fork oil seal and use a good fork oil (e.g. motul). Not to forget the tension of the fork; should inform him how hard or soft you want it to be.

 

Regards.

 

oh ok.. thanks for the advice.. anyway i went to planet and change back to original forks. but is locally one as claims by ah chong. cos he say the original and this locally make forks almost the same.. and is cheaper too.. so i took it..

hi everyone,

 

after about 75000 km for my wave, i went for overhaul. abit painful on the price but i guess its worth. my ride is alot more smoother coz new piston, rod, bearings, valve and other stuff. no more carbon residue. my next project is to change full fairing coz the old colour has faded. just sharing.

 

reagrds.

[Donkey]

dunno how to put it.. its just under the flyover.. if u coming from Upper Serangoon Road, u need to turn left into Sommerville Road.. turn left again to Sommerville Walk and turn left again.. cos its a one way street..

 

if not sure miss... check it out at streetdirectory.com.
