Hi Bro...

Honestly me kenot brain how cleaning TB cld hv that kind of effect on the idle rpm...
Unless, of course...
(1) got so much "dirt" on yr butterfly valve that's been removed & yr throttle is now so open 2increase rpm...??
(2) something in 3bond that has tricked the sensors/ecu 2open up yr throttle & simulate better rpm response. ..a kind of butt dyno effect that yr TB has been so well cleaned?
Sometimes wonder wat's in these chemical concoctions which advertise "miracle cures" in engines....

Hi Bro...

Suggest 2 options...
1.
a) Remove connecting hose.
b) Connect separate standalone mini PCV air filter to rocker cover tube/"inlet".

c) Block tube @air inlet/point b4 TB.
NB. This simple mod provides good 1-way airflow circulation for rocker cover space ie PCV ventilation sys.

2. Use a 12 mm fuel hose 2connect a simple fuel filter (as OCT) in-btwin rocker cover & TB point.

NB. This wld collect oil fumes "sucked" towards TB point if & when sudden strong vacuum caused by sudden large throttle openings. ..

Best wishes!

Hi Bro...

Attn: Bros iskazulka .. dares .. V12Kompressor .. r3apers

Best way 2patch up a tubeless tyre ==> http://tyrestore.in/tubelesstyre.asp

However most local shops dun do that...
Me had probs getting that method done..even in Pg!!
T
Shops charge more (me used 2pay RM15-20 per patch incl labour charge...no gst that time!) but shops still prefer short cut simple method (esp for small diam punctures)...simple & fast...
Customers also prefer cos cheap & fast!

For safety, me recommend this inner to outer patch...esp for larger diam holes...

ps. Me still searching for image of that type of patch...

UPDATE :

1. Newer (branded) patches? http://www.schraderinternational.com/Produ...c_lang=en-US-SA
2. Wat me meant & had done b4...called (now me rber...) a combination patch!:
Pls watch the video ==> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-78JIOaEG6c

Hi Bro...

Honestly...nowadays, me,too! Haha!
Dun hv the energy 2go "hunting" for sp tyre shops whose workers hv the Know-how 2do such method of repair...

So me also no prob with simple tiny punctures...also seldom travel alot & also only unker style driving nia lo....

Common tyre repair kit....

Hi Bro...

Very true there...esp for tiny punctures...eg hole is much smaller than available rubber plugs...
If well done, no leaks!

Larger punctures reli need the internally done combination patch 2b safe for hiway & fast driving...IINM....

ps. My Gaga still running on 1 patched up tyre for oledi 6 mths....city & A/S -Pg Hiway use...so far still like UNpunctured tyre!! Nail was only the small abt 1 inch kind....

Hi Bro...



Fyi me got memo fr Dunlop Industries HQ years ago re advice & recommendation for patching tubeless tyres....
The Combination Patch was the safest recommended method.

What tyre shops are mostly doing is juz a "get yu home" sort of repair....acc to Dunlop...
Possibly...the newer softer "natural rubber" type of those plugs make better seals than the earlier solid stiffer plugs?

If me dig thru my "museum" archived files, might b able 2find that memo....

Good4yu, Bro!
Made right choice! Considering usage & costwise...well worth it lo!!
Tyres..Car..Life...all not cheap lo!!

Me had 2insist on combination patch cos was travelling with fmly at least 3-4 times a yr fr T'loh 2Pg via Bentong-Sempah Pass (no hiway)...KL...to Pg...No Hiway all the way!!
Safety has been alwaz TOP priority in spite of lower income then...

Hi Everyone!

Hi Bro iskazulka ...
Best wishes 2yr missus 4a safe & fast delivery of yr new bundle of joy!!
And... Congratz in adv 2the father!!

Hi Bro...

Since no one has yet 2comment, me try 2give yu an idea of the enormosity of yr queries!!

Re yr queries..there's no straightforward answer...

Re "...improve stabilty & performance", many factors need 2b considered including ( and some other factors eg suspension etc...) :
a. Diam of new rims
b. Width of new rims
c. Weight of new rims
d. Tyre brand & type
e. Size of tyres
f. Weight of tyres

Also when one considers stability & performance, other aspects may be also affected...
Eg FC..acceleration (pick up?)...NVH...etc.

There will alwaz b plusses & minuses...no escape wan...

Do lots of reading up...equip yrself with necessary knowledge...
Then make yr own "well-informed" choices & ultimate decision...

Best wishes & Good Luck!!

UPDATE :
Bro...Ultimately it is yr ride AND yr $$$...do watever makes yu happy...
