Hi to all. I'm new here and I'll be getting my LC ES within 2 weeks time. Can anyone tell me how to break in without hurting the engine and what EO should I use for break in. And when should I start using semi-syntethic EO ? Thanks..

Btw I'm also from Penang.

I want to ask hor, what is the best grade EO for break-in engine use ? And what is the diff between the number.. I'm so noob here. for example 15-50w huh ? Can someone pls tell me. Thx. Xie xie. Terima kasih. Arigatou.

huh 2 stroke always win le.. unless the lc is alr modified but i'm really interested in seeing lc vs 125z is possible. btw just got my bike and it's hell of a suffer riding before the break in is done..

Endurance yes.. Btw I really nid to know what the EO grade means.. front means what back means what. And EO for LC which is really suitable ? Is Hi Rev 15-50w ok very easy to find ? Very cheap compare to Motul 5100..

thanks to all who explain to me about EO.. I guess using Motul is ok despite the price. Hi Rev ah.. hmm well I'm not sure I just got it for free when I bought my bike. Btw I used to change EO at Hong Bee Penang Motul 10-40 but around RM30 only.. y u guys got charged so expensive ? huh..

Lately raining at lot at night.. so hating it lots of dirts on whole bike especially the wheel area..

I want to ask you guys hor, how do you clean the chain ? Use soap ? Then lube it with what le ? And do I need to lube the gear lever, clutch cable nut at right side near foot rest and clutch lever ? Wah I'm noob..

wow good info, thx pal. Means I need to buy O-Ring and chain lube spray.. Hmm tesco penang got sell ? haha.. One more question, the coverset is made of plastic ma.. I heard some ppl said can use car wax to wax it shinny ?

wah.. how fast did you ride ah until both rim also can pecah. But if you're not hurt then is good thx to God liao.

Well Penang road condition are really worst. Just wish one day they would used concrete instead of tar as used in USA. I went to several malls and only to be able to find WD40 but not the Lube.. is Grease Lube spray applicable to motor chain ? I saw one selling for around rm11.xx something at tesco. Btw I read somewhere is not recommended to use WD40..

But anyway I found this article.. quite informative http://www.canyonchasers.net/shop/generic/chain.php
use kerosene n rag to clean

Hmm u 2 buy the lube from which part in penang ah ? The reason I don't go to racingmate is coz they are quite cutthroat.. last time bought my helmet there only to find out it's around 20RM plus more expensive. Though I know they are famous for some track racing stuff. Btw can someone snap a pic of normal chain incomparison to O-RING chain.. I want to know more hehe..

250vtec cb250?? wow u guys really got some really nice helm

I'm not sure but which part do you live in ? I live nearby air itam area, Sunday the Taycon shop nearby Farlim Traffic light Junction got open. Or straight go to HL at jelutong xpressway or Hong Bee opposite Gamma.. I'm going to service my bike this Sunday near the taycon farlim traffic light.

Btw guys, where to get NobiSSS and how much in Penang Island ? any trusted reliable shop ?

can snap a pic of that nobi sss ?

that day at night after coming back from penang bridge, i came across this LC fitted with Nobi SSS.. wow it's quite quiet though that guy rode like normal, not rempiting or anything. I think could go thru road block no probs. Anyway really learn a lot from you guys.

Is it true that using USB, it's not so good when cornering coz not suitable to LC design? I heard that from some guy at MBC.

I mean USD fork hehe.. typo.. ok ok my bike going hit 500 le.. use what grade of EO ah.. thick grade as in ? or thin want make it lighter or how ? walaoh.. everytime i go ask the foreman they just simply say all same la. HUh ?
I read the manual it says use either 20/40 or 20/50. What's the different ?

wah want to go for long ride, type of eo grade also important..hmm good info

btw just asking, the sport rim for lc hor. the black color is what code ? I want to buy spray color to fix my mom's lc. got it scratched when took for changing tyre. any recommended brand ?

Okay since I ride both ES n SS.. My SS already few years and I think it's a second batch instead. Till now still top performance, can reach 120kmph easily even without full throttle. And I mean not even half the throttle. So u can see how good this LC engine is if you really take care of it.

About SS better than ES.. well I just got my ES few weeks ago and currently doing 500km++. ES is better in handling and you'll definitely appreciate the smooth gear changing and dropping 2 gears at the same time and you won't fly away.. Acceleration hm.. this I got no comment.

Coz you see SS u just hit gear and perah only. For ES you need to play with the clutch so you'll feel the torque when you're cruising at certain speed. If you release slow you'll feel slop as well. But ES you definitely cannot ride like 20kmph on gear 4... it feels like chugging of coz. n ES you must be very careful with your clutch handling when slow riding or when traffic jam coz if you slip it too much.. haha engine die lo.

SS is good and easier to handle. But I never regret getting ES. Love the clutch.

My point is if you opt for speed don't go for LC. Go for CBR150r.. I once owned this bike but sold it after 6 months due to 'not so good for going to work' no basket haha. But that one is a beast 4 stroke race bike even at stock. But if you're going for something speedier than that, don't choose any 4 stroke go for Ninja 150rr. So my advice is ask yourself which is your choice.. LC performance is good but it's not for racing.

About 1st gear dragging to 30-40.. well that also depends on how you throttle.. if you do some hard throttle it's short but try dragging it slowly but at rapid you'll notice gear 1 can hit 30-40 as well even current batch. Peace.. I'm not pro but sharing my exp hehe..

Yup I totally agree.

But even though I've ridden so many types of kapchai.. ex5, wave, rgv, fz150 (fren), belang (testing),kriss, scooter blah blah.. bikes that I really owned till now is CBR150r n current new ES.. Well I dare to say no other kapchai in the market could do such I mean 'endurance' power. Want to understand more about this LC, well take a spin to Balik Pulau route, then you'll see what I mean. That's y I still buy ES as my third bike. If I want speed I'll go for Ninja150 instead.

The reason I say about how you play with the throttle is.. either you want agressive when gear 1 for pickup or top speed.. that really depends on that. But upon gear 2 and 3 this is where you can play with how you want even on a stock bike. What I mean is for example you're cruising around 70kmph on gear 4 suddenly you need to slow down your bike due traffic, you could just hit down to gear 3 and still play with the rev "fast" to gain back speed to 70-80 easily and upon gear 4 is free rev. For example you're cruising on 40kmph on gear 4, rev agressive but not even half throttle you'll feel the engine rotation quite fast to reach even 80kmph. Other bike will just drag you down. That's where I see the performance. It's power but not for speeding pls... At least on just stock factory setting.

wow you're from balik pulau ? actually i was born there ! hehe.. but I moved to town since kid but once a while I still go for the laksa just right the T junction. I love riding to balik pulau "new not old" route.. Old is very deadly.. I don't dare.

somewhere few pages back got say how to burn in fast way or using old method. I don't know la. Or u can check your manual, there got say during how many km you cannot exceed the rev throttle, just follow lo.. btw is recommended at least change EO n oil filter twice b4 1000km.. when not 1000km yet pls don't full throttle..
what I did was silly I ride less than 50kmph before 500km haha.. after 500km i ride less than 70kmph.. after 1000km less than 100kmph.. I dunno la. maybe some pro here can teach u hehe or flip back few pages back lo.

the reason u nid to change EO n OF coz of 'tik sai' err duno how to say that the metal shreds coz of new engine ma. I know some ppl change 3 or 4 times before 1000km. I changed once at 500km and second time at 1000km. Some ppl change at 200, 500, 1000.. but if bo lui then ma change twice lo. Riding under 60 is really teruk. But my previous SS till now still geng.

I got a question to all pros out there. If change new CDI, will my LC make loud noise or it's completely same ? And CDI is not harmful right as long as I keep below red line ? Hmm i wonder what's the redline rpm for LC ?
