hi all...anyone here knows how much is a Daelim VT125 Evolution? can it be found in motor "diams" ? btw,if it isnt available in silver colour,can i ask e shop to spray it for me? is it possible and how much would i cost?
-
dun buy korean bike. poor quality n no resale value. for 2B, get something jap n more popular like Phantom etc.... rem to go for 4 stroke. cheaper n better to go around. cheers

sori to say n apologies if i offend.Originally posted by nights:can further elaborate why? Cos i m riding one....
korean n taiwan bikes hav a reputation for not being roadworthy machines.
their engines r cheap imitations of jap bikes. eg the hyosung took the gn125 engine, the daelim took the engine of another jap bike but i cnt remember wat rite now. the copy the engine design n replac it w cheaper materials tt dnt last. thus to make the bike lighter so as to compensate the larger build tt they encased it w, n more affordable to their local market. il leaks n overheating r jus the tip of the problems.
perhaps they wer not built to ride like how they r treated in sg, whr speeds of 80km n excess r required n the weathr conditions also do not comply to their specs. but their reputation in sg is in the dumps rite now. u can chk out the resale value of yr bike n c for yrslf. -
Dun worry, i m not offended cos i also heard of poor quality and reputation of my korea bike Daelim..resale value is low yup agree....but i m more concern with the engine....so far haven encounter any real big problem except for the speed maybe...
-
tts the thing im toking about.... its somewat ike the case of the skipper n sefera. these bikes arnt built for speed yet riders blast thm around town thus eventually the eingines will giv up. same case with all bikes. ride within its means n it shd hopefully get u thru the day n last u a lifetime.Originally posted by nights:Dun worry, i m not offended cos i also heard of poor quality and reputation of my korea bike Daelim..resale value is low yup agree....but i m more concern with the engine....so far haven encounter any real big problem except for the speed maybe...
follow the maintenance scedules n do chk yr oil levels in between. tts the most important thing i can advise on engine care.
good luck bro. wish u all the best w yr bike. may biking be yr passion... -
cheez...thanks....but how freq would u recommend for maintenance and also the engine oil too?
-
i cnt really advise u cause it depends on the grade of oil u use, the brand of oil & the amount of stress u put on the engine.Originally posted by nights:cheez...thanks....but how freq would u recommend for maintenance and also the engine oil too?
a rough guage by myslf under normal bike usage wld be...
mineral oil = 1 - 2000km
semi syn = 3 - 4000km
fully syn = 5 - 8000km
spark plugs = at least 5000km (4 stroke), remove n chk on wear n remove deposites/tune.
but thn as i said this is to my personal specs. the best person to advise u wld be yr mechanic. -
thanks for the info but do u know roughly the price for all 3 engine oils u mentioned? ThxOriginally posted by skeujin:i cnt really advise u cause it depends on the grade of oil u use, the brand of oil & the amount of stress u put on the engine.

im riding Daystar125.. so far no problem...
hmm.. overheat>? casket leaking? they are all not a problem to me
at least when it come to phantom..i know it wont rust so easily when parts is concern.I saw my frens's phantom 200 's screws and the fork all rusty and not only that.. count how many phantom there are in Spore or rather in a carpark, too many opportunity to "loan" parts from other phantom's rider. Phantom come out from Thailand will be much better than Korea and Taiwan?? -
Hi hi! i m also riding a Daystar 125 too! Must say this is a rare bike on road unlike phatom which is over populated like Nokia HPOriginally posted by Actuators:i correct your phase.. daelim came out much earlier than hyosung

So have u ever encounter any real overheating issue? Reading from the manual, overheating is due to the excess rpm on gear, thus if we applied appropiate rpm on the different lower gears, overheating won't arise. I believe this is a common issue on all branded cruiser bike and towards the biker themselves who like to treat cruiser like racing bike blasting all the way. -
did i ever mention about which came 1st?Originally posted by Actuators:i correct your phase.. daelim came out much earlier than hyosung

i was nt asked to comment on thai bikes. i knw tt phantoms' parts rust n yes they r overpopulated in sg. jus like the super 4. n yes the 200cc 4stroke version also has a problem about 'consuming' engine oil....
n in my view thailand does produce better quality mcs thn korea or taiwan. perhaps cause they represent a jap based branding.
as i said in my previous post, i apologise if i offended any1. -
