You print money issit? Every 1k you change engine oil? SIAO AR. You change engine oil at every 2-3k then the gear thing, you have to hear the sound of the engine. The rule of looking at the speed then change gear thing is only applicable when you are on level ground. The rule is different when you go up/down slope.

Errm... think the Phantom 150 manual may not b too helpful. There are quite a number of differences between the 2 stroke and 4 stroke models. Anyway jus checked with me bikeshop and they say the english version is not out yet. I guess some of the basic questions u need to noe can be posted here or ask your motortiam for advise lor. U want u can join me for bike washing session lor coz me ride phantom 200 too... but me no expert hor...jus noe wot is where n where is wot... but dunno the overall mechanics of the bike...tat one must the low chiao bruthers n sistahs in this forum.

U have the eng manual? hmm.., I only have the thai ver; can i borrow from u to photocopy; wat's in the manual anyway?

Ducati996 SG

the manual realli got nothing impt. its direct translation of thai manual, u look at thai manual the pix roughly can tell wat it sez. its damn basic: how to operate, features/characteristics and troubleshooting. even the troubleshooting for beginners who are veri new to bikes, eg, wat 2 do if engine cannot start. ans: check battery, check petrol, check ignition key got turn. duh.
the way i see it, dont bother suah. if its a prob dat common sense cannot solve, it wont be in the book.

do you still have the manual? I wanna to borrow and zap

lanxx SG

water get in, I dun think so, but if you forget to close tank valve, when bike is cold, harder to start

lanxx SG

no need to polish bike, but the chrome damn thin, so get rusted easily. If you park at multi-storey carpark, then ok, if open air, better go buy bike cover.

daniuge SG

huh sianz dun like to use bike cover leh very mah huan leh....but bo bianz my husband mah Very Happy

Transcendence SG

Agreed... first thing to rust are some of the bolts. Either u can change them to better ones or grease it (WD40) like i do. Some of the panels (e.g. side one covering rear signal lights)also trap water... so keep an eye out for it. Bike covers are good too... esp when u haven't got URA labels yet :p
