alright, think i need give a good explanation.

 

about a year+ ago, my dad left my family(critical illness). thus, leaving his wave behind. feeling wasted to sell to the bike shop for just $500, i waited till i was 18 to get a license to ride it legally.

 

back to now, i passed my tp about 1 month ago, took the bike to servicing to planet motor ah chong, paid around $310 for (new dunloptt900 tires, change brakepads, change engine oil and spark plug, and the electricity box plus sending the vehicle for inespection).

 

i personally removed the 2 baskets on the wave, thus explaining the sawn off leg. the screw had rusted too much, i am planning to bring to a bike shop to remove it and maybe do some additional servicing. after a week or two, the picture aboe showed what happen. could it be the mechanics at his shop made a mistake or two?

 

hope you guys get a clearer picture, and i am all ears for any helps and suggestions.

u can use a plier to take out the rusted screw.

brake fluid say it will eat paint too...

 

what u are saying is "the paint damage is not doone by u, right"

but engine oil dont eat paint...

eating of paint dont happen in hours. it take day(s) for acid/liquids to eat the paint

[bitterhahas]

yes, because the problem was there and i neglected till it got worst. so is there any solution for the engine paint?

[squarebox]

for now wash/scrub the bike thoroughly. check for more damages. repair quickly.

go back to the shop and ask? chances are very slim tho...

 

solution = repaint at shop.

if u wanna DIY, must sand the rest of the paint off and spray on hi-temp paint

i have cleaned the bike with just tap water.

 

is there some cleaning solutions i must avoid?

[squarebox]

I use 10-20ml of cif mix with one pail of water to wash my bike.

some ppl will call me crazy but cif cleans like no tomorrow.

when using cif, u must make sure u wash/rinse thoroughly with alot of water if u don't, it will eat paint/rubber/god knows what else.

 

cleans grease/chain oil/dirt very well.

careful with CIF...

CIF can even bleach concrete floors!!!!!!!!!

I would use car shampoo to wash up and rinse thru.

yes... i use Meguiar motorcycle ez clean rinse and shine.... got it from homefix @ IMM... wax just use turtle wax...

 

as for rims... GT85 really get rid of dirt easily... using it to clean my rims as well as chain.... yep... of coz using a celan cloth....

[bitterhahas]

ask u all ah. when u clean u go where? i did my cleaning right on my parking area.

 

shld i bring it to void deck or near the drain?

 

and can i bring 2 pail, like final wash i just rinse the bike with another pail?

[squarebox]

wash at carpark washing bay. 20cents tap with pail.

if u live in landed property the wash in the carpark with hose.

2 pail enough.

 

1.pail - wet/soap the bike

2.pail - wash soap off

very sorry to heard about your next of kin ....

 

my suggestion was to sand that part smooth with a sand paper then use high temp black spray to spray over will do.

If not just leave it as it is. i will not cause any problem to the bike but just eye sore only.

since the paint already peel. why not polish the whole till chrome

For Kups, i think is anywhere, man... Oil and plug = not more than $20 i guess. Also got to depend on oil used lah.
