2000km still ok lah ... thinking that when i use to run in my bike ... it took me just 3 weeks to run in till 4800 km ...

paikuaboi SG

huh 2000km must service liao ar so fast

kokomo SG

how long usually then u all go for such full servicing? normally i juz go change spark plug and engine oil oni when i go service… any guidelines?

WhitePhantom SG

If u really LOVE ur bike, personally i would advise:
Spark plug, engine oil: once a month
wash carb, valves, filters: once in 1.5 months(2 times every 3 months)
2T top up when change engine oil (to play safe although there's low 2T indicator)

My timing is according to the mileage i travel lar... but if u travel very little no need to service so fast...

Think of others on the road. Be safe!

WhitePhantom SG

daniuge u riding phantom200 rite?
4 stroke bikes doesnt need much maintenance,
cos the engine parts are more durable n cleaner n it does not need 2T to lubricate... u dun have to do wat 2 strokers do so much.. long long time go wash once can liao...
regarding ur problem, i tink is the batt getting weak or flat liao.. FYI, if u never on engine, the headlight is running on ur batt leh, very chi dian one.. but even if u on ur engine but never ride, also wil use up batt but not as much... It only uses the rectifier to recharge ur batt once u REV ur bike to move lor...
correct me if im wrong.. Smile

kokomo SG

wah go fast muz service one ar? i heard change the spark plug oni once every 2 times u change ur engine oil and ur engine oil change every 4000-5000km if u r using good ones… full servicing cost how much? wat r the things to ask them do or juz say full servicing then they do for u? wat is the mileage guidelines?

WhitePhantom SG

actually not really must go 4000km... as long as u feel ur bike engine getting chorchor, n changing of gears like not so smooth can change engine oil liao Smile
when u go to mech, jus ask them wat other stuff can they do for a full service besides changing of engine oil n spark plug, they wil tell u everything..
carb, valve, filters r the basic common things, i heard my fren say stil got many other small small parts...too chim liao..
but i tink basically the mechs wil do everything for u lor, provided u tell them properly, maybe can ask them to check ur coolant level, battery water level, brakes....etc...
many many other small things...
i stil NEWBIE leh... Smile

Competition only starts with the same bike with different riders having different minds but aiming for the same thing.....

tzm^21_shoei SG

hi
i usually do the normal serivceing like gear oil/sparks plugs...but i know its is good to wash ur piston/block/valve/carba once in 10000km.i think cost abt 80 bucks or so...but take beri long time.muz have time to wait lor
thats my two cents worth.
cheers
johnson
wanna go service jio me leh
:>

Hey, you put air horn already? $33 is it. But did they install relay for you? If not, better go do it. Initially i did not put relay for my air horn, after insatlling it, air horn louder and battery won't flat so easily. Maybe battery flat due to your air horn?
I went to First Motor to fix relay, guess wat, next day bike cannot start at all, went back to them, towed back my bike, and they told me bat 'short circuit'. Lucky they never charge me for the towing, or else i sure complain. Now everthing in OK liao.

RAIDER SG

Wha first motor so steady ar? WHere u live? they go all the way to ur house to tow?
