Stp Oil Treatment

Surprisingly, there are many products sold in malaysia that is not shown online.

One of which is stp oil treatment for motorcycles that retails for 6rm for 60ml.

It was extremely thick like a high grade honey. Unfortunately I have thrown away the bottle before I added it in.

Oil treatment meant for cars

Despite the oil being "thicker", i didnt feel any difference.

It was about 100km on my new oil when I was in a crawling 1 hour jam and at some point my clutch started to slip. I read that I should learn to just use the clutch and gear 1 when moving to prevent this.

Product Review : Chevron Delo Silver

Chevron Delo invokes a certain excitement in me. From its packaging, availability smell and texture. Cost me $3.50usd a litre in malaysia. 

This is a great oil at a great price. Only gripe is at 1000km the oil is pretty much sheared. So much for your 10000km oil change reccomendation yamaha!

Product Review :Silkolene 15w50 comp 4

Silkolene mineral oil at usd $3.50 had previously shocked me with its smooth transmission. This had encouraged me to drop the dollar on their semi synthetic version. This is made in singapore. At $8usd a litre it wasnt so bad. On the local advertisement it has ester in it.

Weirdly it needed about 200km before it started feeling ridiculously smooth. At 700km when I had to top up the oil, it was amber in colour. Something I have never seen before.

Very hot city rides didnt affect shifting much.

This shifts better than the maxima extra 15w50!

First oil to feel alright event at 2000km

Product Review : Autoglym Super Resin Polish

I managed to chanced upon a product that does wonders in finishing detail.
Prior to this, i had used novus and ultimate compound.
Will be getting a ultra deep gloss shine to compliment the SRP.

The SRP is very easy to use. However, it should only be used on a paintwork which is in generally good condition but lacks that perfect finish.

Windshied modification

A windshield is a necessity.
Especially when travelling above 80kph
It also allows me to mount my license plate on the shield.. clearing out space where it could affect the cooling of the radiator.

It has been a love and hate feeling to be visible and not look atrocious at the same time.
I am experimenting with the "chameleon sticker" it is actually red but with light, it has a "rainbow" effect that is extremely eye catching.

With trials, this works on public roads. People do notice me.

Rectifier Replacement

Lately, I had three bulbs blow on me in a time span of two months.
On an extreme tour, i had my meters reset a couple of times at high rpms. At once, it switched off and on when I was on the fast lane. So uncool

Something must be amiss right?

Though there may be many diagnosis of the failing electricity, it can be time consuming and expensive to solve. There are usually four components to electric problems.Battery, stator, rectifier and wiring( to some there may be others like connectors and ground). Since bulbs are blowing(probabbly due to a spike of voltage) I pointed it to the rectifier. Rectifier and stator problems sometimes only happen occasionally. Although the rectifier looks like a solid state unit that will not fail.. well it  does.

My own research shows that ybr125 rectifier looks, mounts and connects exactly like the ybr250.

Here are pics. And the bike has been working fine since.. I will update if the problems will come up again..
