Who Am I?

I am a father to 6 children, a working professional who have been driving for more than 20 years. I took up road cycling as a hobby and stopped for safety issues (crime).

Due to traffic congestion, I am now on my motorcycle learning license, hoping to secure my full license soon.

My motorcycle riding experience is not a long one. I tried Honda C70, Yamaha Sports 100, Yamaha RX-S, Yamaha 135LC, Yamaha TZM-150, Suzuki Address, Modenas Elegan (the old one), Yamaha RXZ and Yamaha 125Z.

My Honda PCX clocked 23,7xx km so I brought it for major service at Honda Impian-X Gelang Patah. Total spent was RM390.00 for - Engine oil (Honda 10w-30 JASO MB) RM23.00 Final gear oil (Honda) RM17.00 Brake oil (Honda DOT3) RM25.00 Spark plug (NGK MR8K-9) - RM25.00 Belt (K97, receipt has typo error) - RM69.90 Weight Rollers (Honda original set) - RM58.00 Slide piece set (Honda original) - RM15.00 Pulley drive face (Honda original K97) - RM28.00 Pulley Moveable Face (Honda original K97) - RM68.00 Pulley face boss (Honda original) - RM28.00 Labour - RM40.00 Discount - RM6.90 The service took about1 hour to complete. Brake oil's recommended change is every 2 years, and this is how it looks after 2 years and 2 months. Belt's recommended change is every 24,000 km, and by looking at these photos, one should not exceed the recommendation. Old (left) and new (on the right). I did not plan to change the drive pulleys. However, looking at it, it is best to change it since I am getting ne...

First service at 426 km

Image
My 2018 Honda PCX 150 (the 4th Generation of PCX) went for its first service yesterday. It had done merely 426 km before the service, but the authorised service centre (Kedai Impian Honda Skudai) called it to be serviced since it has been more than a month. Supposedly, a new motorcycle should be serviced after doing 1,000 km. I went in anyway as advised. The authorised dealer recommended engine oil for normal motorbike but I chose the above oil which specifically made for PCX for Honda by Petronas. It costed me RM25 or about GBP6. The authorised dealer also told me to replace the final gear oil which I did. But upon return, the manual said it actually needs to be replaced after 2 years. The final gear oil was RM10 or GBP1.80. Labour was free. The PCX's engine felt a lot smoother after the first service. Apart from the final gear oil replacement, I am glad I went in as told. Total amount paid - RM35.

Spark plug - NGK MR8K-9

Image
 Honda ordered NGK to make a special plug for Honda PCX, and NGK made a model number called MR8K-9. The same plug is also used by Honda ADV-150. Not many shop have this plug in stock, and many would just recommend using Honda RS150's specced plug. A quick call to Boon Siew Honda Malaysia's hotline revealed that other plugs are not recommended for Honda PCX 2018. This replacement is due every 12,000 km. It costed me RM25 including installation.
