Most bikers in indonesia used a well known brand of synthetic motor oil or its based on custom experiences. Does everyone, especially bikers from asian country, can give me more detail info on how to choose correct synthetic motor oil for my daily (125cc-4strokes,SOHC) bike (we called it "motor bebek" here). thanx

Use practically any synthetic, as long as it meets or exceeds the requirements of the motorcycle manufacturer, honda or any other maker, do not make they're own oil, they have a private oil vendor to supply it, basically slapped with they're name on it and rack the price up.

My personal opinion is that Malaysian made products are as good as British or American made items.  They are certainly  better and more trustworthy than copied items from China or Japan.  Ask the airplane industry about fake parts in planes.  I first went to Malaysia in 1968, no comment please, and found them hard working and honest.

This leads not only to costly equipment repair, but to expensive down time as well. Combine that with new, stricter environmental regulations concerning the disposal of waste oil, and you have a potential operating capital drain. With the application being Hydraulic oil, the primary degrader of oil, HEAT, is not a factor. Water and dirt particles are the enemies of the hydraulic oil.\n\nOur engineered process removes these contaminants¹ quickly and efficiently. Our portable systems will connect to the injection molding machine oil reservoir through two 1² lines. The units can be equipped with quick connect/disconnect fittings. The flow rates range from 3 ­ 24 GPM and filter through three filtration stages. Using a cycle of passes through the system, 98 percent of all contaminants are removed from the hydraulic oil. This simple service can extend your hydraulic oil life 8 ­ 10 times or more.\n\nThe Glanon Hydraulic Oil Filtration System is shipped from the factory equipped and ready for immediate service. Portable and easily maneuverable, this system can service multiple Injection Molding Machines in a single day.\n\nAn Injection Molding Machine can easily be serviced without manually draining and refilling the oil. Hydraulic system maintenance hours will be reduced, oil life will be increased, and environmental impact will be minimized.

Hello. Is this what you are looking for?\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_averages\n\nOr is this what you are looking for?\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StatistiC\n\nAnd, since I'm not very good at maintenance on my bikes, I usually only keep them for 5 - 6 years.

this is definetely a great site and the x-18 is the BEST pocket bike there is because it offers a honda based 4 stroke upgradeable engine...yes, there is a whole world of aftermarket upgrades for this bike and any other..i wouldntget the interceptor....sadly, all those fun looking little japanese and chinese made pocket bikes arent good at all....no one realy services them and they break frequently...go-carts are a better investment

Watch for a pre-hurricane season run in the spring/early summer.  VLO, CHK and ECA were good to me last time oil prices were climbing.  Wait for momentum to kick in that sector again.

That bike is not bad, and it is good that you are deciding against disc brakes...\n\nAnyway, I prefer Specialized.
549444
Well I work at a place where we sell Specialized, so I'm biased a little. But ride all 4, in the same day, checking for the same things on every bike. The thing about bicycles is that the components that make the biggest ride difference(drivetrain, brakes, suspension, ect.) are made by somebody else and they are availible with whatever brand you want, the difference lies in frame geometry and materials. Everyone is different, everyone rides different. So figure out which bikes are in your price range, pick a sunny saturday or sunday and go bike shopping. Pick whatever feels best. Most brands/bike shops will offer a lifetime warranty on the frame, if they don't consider going somewhere else, and if you keep your bike tuned, regardless of brand, the parts will last a really long time(unless you ride real hard but that doesn't happen to too many hybrids).\n\nDon't forget wear a helmet, it'll could save your life. Ride on

Why lubricant? and why Mastu****** in the first place.\n\nFollow a health life style, save your genes and chromoshomes for a latter day happy married life.\n\nWish you best if you follow the abovesaid.\n\nIf you dont, GOD help you.

oil do my best to answer this one

Initially, natural animal and vegetable oils were used for lubrication where needed.  Remember that many parts had much larger working clearances than what we are accustomed to today, so lubrication was somewhat less of an issue.

order online. jesonusa.com is a great site. blueskycycling.com and nashbar.com are great too\n\nall great sites and i think they ship worldwide.

OK ...\n\nAssuming we are talking about "standard" petroleum oils rather than synthetic basestocks :\n\nPetroleum products basically sit on a continuum: \n\nFlammable\nmethane, ethane, propane, butane (all gases)   Flash Points -50C\npetrol (basically C5 - C10) with aromaics and olefins Flash Point   -30C\nstodard solvent (low aromatics)  Flash Point   35C\nmineral turpentine (high aromatics) Flash Point 35C\nkerosine / jetfuel A1  Flash Point 45C\nlamp oil (low aromatics)  Flash Point 52C\nlight heating oil   Flash Point 58C\n\nCombustible\ndiesel  Flash Point 62C min\nfuel oil Flash Point 80C\nlight oil (100SUS) Flash Point 190C\nmid visc oil (500SUS) Flash Point 220C\nhigh visc oil (Brightstock) Flash Point 260C\nWaxes Flash Point > 260C\nBitumen / Tar  Flash Point > 300C\n\nIn terms of "how are they different", there are a number of ways:\n\nMoving from Flammable to Combustible, flammable products contain small, light molecules (C1 - C15) of low viscosity and low density while combustible molecules are larger (C16 - C40). This makes them both heavier (higher density) and thicker (higher viscosity).\n\nTo get a clean burning lamp oil, you also need to remove the aromatic and olefinic components (read benzene rings and double bonds) as these tend to cause smoke. It should have few other components, so that it will burn clean and leave no residue.\n\nFor an engine oil, you also remove some of the benzene rings and double bonds, because they make the oil unstable and prone to oxidation and sludging (not good if you want to keep your engine clean). Engine oils also contain additives to remove the acids which form during fuel combustion, antioxidants, detergent/dispersants to hold up soot, antiwear agents, metal deactivators and viscosity index improvers.\n\nSo molecular size, paraffinic vs olefinic vs aromatic content, viscosity, additive packages all play a part.

Use some toothpaste . It really works !Wont scratch either . There is another kind of creme called Mothers Mag and we use it on our Harley Davidson to bring out the shine . Takes some elbow grease but there is not much else that is better . You can find it at motorcycle shops and sometimes at a Wal-Mart .

i know what your talking about and ky does make different massage oil/personal lubes i myself have purchased them for me and my boyfriend. wal-mart sells them by the condoms, but they are kinda pricey, but well worth it.

Is there any oil in Indonesia?

Maintenance of your drive train is the best thing you can do to keep your bike in good working order.  I would stay away from stuff like WD-40 and other such products not designed for chain lubrication.  I have found that lubricants with the Teflon and such leave too much residue on the chain.  I like ProGold (www.progoldmfr.com) myself.  I started using it based upon a recommendation from Uncle Al in the RoadBikeRider weekly newsletter (it's free and offers a lot of helpful advice on cycling in general.  Sign up at RoadBikeRider.com).  Uncle Al provides a lot of technical advise about bike maintenance.  \n\nAs far as how often you should lube your chain, that will depend upon the riding conditions in which you ride.  Wet conditions will force you to lube more often (also remember to wipe the entire bike down after wet rides especially).  I try to give the bike a quick wipe down after every ride.  You can get the ArmorAll makes some wipes that have an orange degreaser in it that I find work well.  One wipe and a paper towel or rag will keep you bike looking great (and help you identify if anything needs repair.  It is better to find this out at the end of a ride rather than when you get all decked out to go for a ride or worse, on the road).
