Hi all,

Need all your experience and expertise.

I had read through this thread and might have miss out some point, pardon me if I ask some repeated questions.

I am new to steed. Know nothing about it.However I bought a 2nd 13yr old steed.

1) I want to bring to a shop to check anything wrong. I know this thread was toking abt ROSLI, but I am not very comfortable to leave the bike there for him to repair and stuff. I am more comfortable with AH CHONG. Any1 have any experience with planet on this? or any advise for me?

2) This thread nv tok much abt side boxes. May I know any where I could get side box for steed? not GIVI? I heard of First Motor but I guess thats the last choice as customise box are expensive. Anywhere with more choices for side box.Tot of saddle bags but heard that they will get mouldy after sometime and over time will crack and stuff.

3) I am thinking of a crash bar. Any1 have experience with crash bar?

4) I wish to learn more abt my bike, any event coming up for me to join?

I guess thats all for now. THANKS BRO! Please help me..

1) Ah Chong & Rosli's fine, bt overall, its up to you who you are comfortable with on your bike.

Bear in mind, most of Steed's OEM spare parts are already OOP & or obsolete.

& may have to order online if its really desperate.

2) What side box you are looking at?

Currently in sillypore, only Givi is the common brand here you can find, support for spares are also within reach.

There's also H & B, that unless you dont mind the price, the quality's just maybe justify the price.

The more different & sleeker design would be Nonfango, which has already been long extinct as no one here bring in anymore.

Bear in mind, irregardless of which model, the rear signal indicators have to relocate further back, and the mounting points are different for each model.

The best mounting rack I'd found, is from 5 Stars, but sadly, they are also obsolete.

3) ME! & Im selling mine!!

Got some aftermarket & OEM parts for sale too!

Link: Steed accessories for sale.

4) What you need to know? I try to help if I can lah.

Cheers!

My friend overhauled his Shadow 400 there and Ah Chong did an amazing job. One of the better, honest shops out there IMO

jiansheng · April 29, 2009

THANK GUYS!!!

AH chong is the kinda can move can liao... Nice anot he dun really care, so far my experience with him is and impt thing is, he is honest.

ROSLI i nv contact with him b4 that is why I dunnoe abt his "working style", Impt is honest i guess.

Your crashbar new? Or any rust or anything... if easy rust kind i thinking of lacquer then fix.

for box any shop to intro? I ride a phantom and had E21, dun like the shape and also the space between the box and bike is too much. Any suggestion of side box. need it for work stuff.

As mention I rode a phantom, and things to look out for phantom and steed TOTALLY DIFFERENT. LOL! i think have to ask you guys for help in future. I am trying to find time to read the user manual. But dunnoe which one to read got 3 in hand, posted in the thread.

Once again... THANKS GUYS!

Wow! But auto vespa very ex to maintain isn't it? Must change drive belt every 10000km.

Hmm...i think everybike has something to change at every 10,000 km.

Belt dunno need chain lubricants...turn throttle and go...pros and cons lah.

Troy437 · May 6, 2009

Guys, I thought of leaving my Steed for either Ah Chong at Planet or Rosli to do some servicing and repair. any idea they leave customer's bike inside their garage or outside?

I dun wan my bike to be left outside and parts go missing overnight...

Normal bike also. 10k Oil Filter, 20k Air Filter. Or less, depending on how often you do a change. I try to do mine every 3-5000km. The normal guide is every 2 engine oil change, 1 oil filter change. Every 2 oil filter change, 1 air filter change. All bike's servcing about the same la. Just a bit more or a bit less. Chain bikes have to worry about chain and sprocket, more maintenance, less cost. Shaft got shaft oil, less maintenance, more cost. Scooters and Harleys got belts and rollers etc. Same same.

You can request from Rosli. Most of the time he keeps the bikes inside, unless it's the condemn, many many years never come collect kinda bikes. Why need to leave there so long? One day get it done and over with la.

U r rite too. But one thing... that auto gear box better dont give way. Once give way... $$$ fly away. So as to say more ex to overhaul a auto gear box than a manual gearbox. Anyway, manual gearbox only need to change clutch plates.

I look at your siggy and it says u have a C90. Anyone u know letting go any C90?

For auto Vespa belt change interval accoring to manual is 12k.. Last time I used to ride a Burgman 400, Manual says belt change interval is 30k I think most of us drag till 35-40k.. Auto scoot Jap bikes are better,but more ex also..

I don't think I'll be getting that cos I still prefer 2stroke Vespa. But my wife can't stand the vibration.

I just met Mepkoh last night. He told me he left his Steed with Ah Chong and the rectifier got stolen.. Den Ah Chong told him to change lots of parts but problem still not solved.. End up going to Rosli to get it fixed,faulty CDI.. Wasted quite a bit of money to change non faulty parts at Planet..

jiansheng · May 6, 2009

I just had mine repair at Ah Chong over weekend, it seems fine now. total damage 330/-. "new" bike so decide to let ah chong take a look, and changed what had to be changed.

anyway any1 know where to make over bike? respray, re-wire (got such thing?), etc?

Depends what kind of makeover you want.. Minor or extreme makeover.. If it's quite a minor mod it's always better if you can DIY your own mods.. Re-spray wise I was quoted by Toe spray $250 for single colour,but got to remove the fenders and tank yourself.. If you want to go extreme and don't want to get your hands dirty, look for this guy.. He will make your wildest dream come true.. Haha

2 stroke vespas' parts very ex rite? One uncle cannot tahan the repairs, then he scrap his old vespa and get a new honda wave.

Wa! Dont scare me leh. I leaving my steed with my mech for a good 1 week (at least) for a makeover and oil leak problem.
