i m ok la, ah tee not so petty one hor.. -
heehee, u noe i only found out where the engine oil container cap is...coz i keep si chia when i clutch in or brake, i tot idling speed too low then go and turn the cap which i always tot was for tuning the idling speedOriginally posted by l3stat:eh while we're on the topic...
daniuge: have you ever worried about people saboing your bike? cos the engine oil cap is just a simple black screw on-and-off type right? i got a couple of enemies in school, and ONE of the reasons for not getting a 4-stroke is that i think it's easy to get saboed, like those bo-liao people can just unscrew the thing and put sand or whatever inside. i know there're a lot of other ways to sabo a bike lar, but still this is rather difficult to fix, and damage can be quite serious... (still there are other sabotage methods with the same outcome... but...) what do you think??
anyway, while i was searching for touratech accessories for the varadero 125, i found out they sell this tamper-proof engine oil cap... check the segment on touratech oil plug.

sounds like a good idea, cos only your allen key can open it. but if the boliao person really don't like you, he'll bring along a whole set of allen keys to test lar. and i wonder if these oil plugs would fit other bikes other than the varadero...
coz the bikes at ssdc the tuning exactly the same place as the cap then turn turn turn to find that i actually unscrew the cap hahaha. then in the end i found out why my bike keep si chiaing juz that got carbon in the exhaust pipe, my colleague blow blow blow then all the carbon come out then ok liao, juz change my engine oil today.... -
if pple meant to disturb you (you said you got enemies) whatever bike you get also will be meddled with, although not as easy...Originally posted by l3stat:eh while we're on the topic...

Greetings to all,
Regarding the need to dispose of the used engine oil properly, you might wanna try MotoWorld. As long as u purchase the oil from them & are able to change your oil on your own with sufficent skill/speed, its possible to use their oil disposal facility after you're done. That would accomplish both objectives: No need to pay for the larbour & safe disposal of used oil. Do consider.
Just me,
Magiskter.
