Try go to the place you bought it for a copy of the insurance cover note.

if correct, it's the Shogun. Known to have 'fake' gear two... or maybe the Belang. I read it off a Suzuki forum a while back.

Couldn't remember where it was. The one I read that time mentioned a few other problems related to that model, including the gearing. No solution yet.
Suppose can try a different grade of EO? What is the current spec you use?

Try this for now (also no solution): http://malaysianbikers.com.my/forum/index....html#msg2350137

ok, hopefully it's a cheap part to change. Perhaps not a genuine problem, just worn out parts.

@Z_ahutd: I thought it's cool to backfire. My friend's Kriss was like that when new stock, and installed a Stromberg. It backfires because of lean fuel condition when you chop of the throttle, if you don't like it, bring to mechanic or tune the pilot screw yourself.

@z_ahutd: Yes, you can do that. When service carb, it will be taken apart. Once done, surely the foreman need to tune the pilot and idle for you. After that, it may or may not solve the problem.

Sounds like a pretty beat up bike. I believe the piston ring or the engine block is damaged, therefore the engine oil is consumed together with petrol. In this case, it may also lose compression easily, making it harder to start. For the oil drain female thread, get a mechanic to rethread the lines. If that fails, then helicoil it is. Cost me 20 bucks to do one helicoil (brass) an engine block 2 yrs back.

Need to check. If the damage is on the cylinder bore, yes, you need to rebore it to smoothen out the damage. This means have to change cylinder. Along the process, some gaskets, bearings and maybe crankshaft also need consideration if need replaced. In the long run, nothing worse can happen; probably the unburnt EO will just clog up the spark plug and exhaust pipe.

Go to bike shop, buy the cacing for puncture repair kit, or the aerosol type from car section of hypermarts. Ride on car lane, and less on motor lane, coz that's where ppl usually kena pancit.

Wear reflective clothing, and safety protections.

Check motor for oil, battery, tyre pressure and so on. Bring a can of chain lube, coz every 300 the normal chain need it already. Spare headlight bulb, in case you need to ride at night, but try to plan to avoid it.

For EO, since u long distance, better to use higher grade EO, at least 40 or 50 on the last number of the EO grade (eg: 10W-40). Engine will be running hot and all that heat will definitely propagate to the whole gearing system, so get better protection.

Lastly, check the weather and prepare for rain. Have a good one!

@leinzz: About the chain, yup.

No troubles. Well, if you're willing to pay for that level of service, then it's fair to ask those questions.

Yes, the headlight, brake light, signal lights, footrest, sometimes air filter, engine number, chassis number, side mirror, horn and body color matching to the geran.

Sure. Ask him to get the roadtax back before change ownership. Just start from the insurance part...

Hi, you're welcome. If I wrong also can correct me.

Take a look at the bike yourself and perhaps tell me your observations.
If the oil, petrol and carb setting, brakes and electrics are ok, riding it to KL - Melaka should be fine. If possible, before doing that, get a few rough measurements on the full tank mileage before you really go on highway.

3rd party ok liao. I'm not sure which is better, can try Hong Leong Assurance (not Hong Leong Yamaha), go to branch give discout. Once I used Allianz it force me to buy personal accident insurance told me compulsory, but other one don't have. You should also see if the old insurance got NCD (discount), so bring it along to continue get the discount.

I buy insurance every year loh. If bike stolen, 3rd party don't compensate. I suggest go direct to other insurance office to ask about 1st and 3rd to compare the price. Unless if you ask shop to do your bike roadtax and they insist must buy first party, then just change shop?

@uzary: First, you can try mudah.my. If cannot find, I can help go to Penang sparepart shop and look for you and send it over. If you want to mod, you can post a pic of the signal light, and perhaps include the critical dimensions of the mounting...

Why u get 2 bikes already still wanna get another scooter?
Honda and Suzuki got new models launched recently, can go check it out.
If you want something different, maybe checkout SYM scooter also.
