QUOTE(doctor.AGF @ Jul 14 2012, 08:03 PM) So if the timing belt slips and the engine dies, you will have no warranty since the foreman already informed you to come. maybe he noted this in the system also  Verbally he said no problem for warranty..it still cover..I'm pretty convience..but do u think it can slio easily?..any suggestion whether should I go or not!..tq

(just my opinion and not advice).

Top-up the oil when low in quantity like we do with engine oil coz leakage normally not eat the oil too fast. But if cannot better find other alternative for safe & happy journey.

Bros. Got my ride last thursday, all in good condition.
Just to check: 1. Klak Klak sound during morning start up. That is normal? Sounds like coming from gearbox 2. Oil drip from back side, left tyre. It's not much but visible. Is it from aircond or somewhere else? 3. tint recommendation.
Now just clocked about 200km so far no issue yet.
Thanks

the sound only during the first crank. in the afternoon this seldom or does not happen at all. what was the issue with the earlier batch?
the oil leak is actually with water. I know at the back we have blower as well, so it may be coming from that?

Issues with earlier batch are many, you better browse through different threads and check. blower does not produce water in the back?!

You need to twist to to left or right?. I though it just a striaght snap in of the bulb's lead/pin into the connector. I was able to remove the bulb together with rubber and connector from the headlamp assembly by releasing the spring that holding the bulb to the headlamp. But I cannot get the connector out from the bulb pin. I can take out the small bulb easily by twisting to the right/left. This post has been edited by klate: Jul 16 2012, 11:49 AM
