Oil leaks within 2 weeks

The oil leaks was spotted during my visit at Motortiam. So I will need to bring back to Mah in the morning because it's Saturday and it's the only day of the week they entertain walk ins...

Effective June 2019 onwards, Mah servicing by appointment or walk-ins on Saturday, First come first serve...



So here I am to be early when they just open...



The leaks found here and here...





Bobby came , we have breakfast and few hours later, they claim the screws need more tightening only, to monitor during my new few rides... I rode off happily knowing I can join the supper ride tonight.

Camera and Horn Part 2

Camera and Horn Part 1

Came back the next day to check  the progress of the addons and to see if I could ride my bike back.
The camera is already up, but the horn ran out of stock, so Chong was busy and only had it later near evening. Despite his 100% attention on my bike, he couldn't find a good location to put the horn. I wanted to leave the bike 1 more day for him to put up the horn, but I had to go back to Mah motor for a warranty issue and I found some oil leaks earlier.

Camera and horn Part 1

Here in Singapore, camera and horn is very important. We are famous for our "driving/riding". When accident happens, sometimes people don't tell the truth to avoid paying or earning earning some extra cash from it. Footage of the accident will come in very useful in times like these.

The horn upgrade is  a must for me :
1. To alert dangers to those who are blasting music in their cabin of the car/ earphone / dreamers /  on hands free call.
2. Normal horns cant reach new cares with better sound proofing.
3.They careless the riders since the size of their car/van/bus/trucks are much bigger
4. Scare the shit out of pedestrian J-walking or walking slowly with their head fixed on their phones.
5. Alert the road bullies
6. IDK... make vulgar words alike tune?

So This is my first time coming to the famous bike shop that my riding group has been talking about.
Motor Tiam ( also means bike shop in Singlish or the dialect : hokkien)

Chong was there to recive me, I already told him what I wanted over whatsapp and I left my bike for the addons while I left for home
