A helpful tip for new bike owners is to always look for your bike manual online and follow the service intervals. Also learn every bit about your bike so you know when something is off.
This is honestly very very useful to new riders. And the most important important key point: BE PRESENT WHEN THEY'RE SERVICING YOUR BIKE. They're many out there who do slap dash work. Dont be a victim:)
Another tip for people who DIY their oil change. Do not dump the waste oil into regular bins or drains. What I do is collect the waste oil and dump it at the nearest bike shop. Seek permission from the owner or employees, I’m sure they’re more than happy to let you dump it in the waste oil barrel. So far, I’ve never came across any shop that don’t allow me to dump the waste oil.
rule of thumb is: if u use your bike for work change regularly and use good synthetic oil, if weekend bike then forget mileage, use time periods, 2 month 3 month up to 6 months etc. then because singapore being near to the sea and everything rusts very fast. whatever mileage u see in service manual, half the mileage. end of the day still depends on how much u love your bike and how deep your wallet
Think this will be a good series but I won't change oil based on colour. Think some UA-camrs sent the oils for lab test at different stages of wear. Some oils, even though black in colour still has good life in them. Of course, changing oil or other consumables like spark plug more often will definitely be good for the engine but is not economical. For me, I trust myself. Either I do the maintenance myself or send it back to the dealership. Service manuals can just download off the internet. @Farhantre , I suggest to do a video on fork oil servicing. All the used bikes I bought, the oil smells like rotten fish🤣. Not alot of people aware that fork also got oil.
Very useful. I stopped riding in 2004 after I got married and passed my car license. Now with car prices soaring no choice... I am considering riding again. I was never interested in higher power bikes so just stayed at 2B license. Now finding out more online about riding.
Thanks guys for the informative video! If there's a follow-up video, it'd be great to touch on coolant, fork oil and suspension 👍🏼 Anyways the owner seems like a really genuine person. May Allah ease and bring blessings to your business bro 😌 Keep it up!
To check, there is a sight glass on the master cylinder, make sure the brake oil is clear or abit yellowish and between the marking. Too low and the system will take in air and you will loose braking. To change, can get a brake bleeder valve from Motorworld $15. Makes life easier
Yeah actually i just got the bike before this i rode 2b scooter.i always thought big bike maintenance more than small bike so was shocked when the manual say 12k interval
@@qamaruddinyusli nak belajar boleh. Haha... I did replace mine but find it difficult. 1) need more specialised tools. Rear stand and car jack the bike will be unstable. Also need bearing press ketuk using old bearing pun boleh but not ideal. 2) kalau internals karat good luck😅 3) hardest to me is removing the old bottom bearing from the stem without damaging the stem.
This comes with experience lor.... Some shops put labour charge, some shops incur labour charge together with the parts. Good guage is to go and buy parts from dealer. Then you'll know how much each parts cost. If shops charge more but workmanship is good. I don't mind coming back to do a service. Send my bike to service before. That workshop quote a reasonable price, but cracked my oil pan by overtighten the drain plug.
@@laddaevolta can always get a quote you know, don't have to buy. Back to your comment, yes they will charge for labor but I normally rope in with other servicing so they won't charge. For example air filter I get from somewhere, then when it's due for valve clearance. I pass them the air filter to fit. Since they going to open the tank and all, normally they don't charge. If they do, I fit myself. Haha

How to check and to change brake fluid.. Please 👍🏻
To check, there is a sight glass on the master cylinder, make sure the brake oil is clear or abit yellowish and between the marking. Too low and the system will take in air and you will loose braking.
To change, can get a brake bleeder valve from Motorworld $15. Makes life easier
@@RubberTyres thanks boss
My african twin manual says change engine oil every 12000km so now i also lost
In that video we not referring to africa twin bro. If ur manual say 12k then follow je.
Yeah actually i just got the bike before this i rode 2b scooter.i always thought big bike maintenance more than small bike so was shocked when the manual say 12k interval
No harm mah doing sooner. Manual say can, why not but frequently check the oil level.
@@RubberTyres got harm wallet 😹. If 2b 1 engine oil don really feel class 2 4bottle
@@sammerino9259 🤣 I agree. Expensive bike expensive maintenance.
How about FI servicing? How often is it?

Leceh.... Don't bother, send to shop. Can accidentally damage the triple tree stem when removing the old bearing.
