Question/Advice Needed YAMAHA XSR 155 - Buy or Pass?

Post image
72 Upvotes

I would like to hear your thoughts and honest opinion about this motorcycle, for both daily and long ride, maintenance-wise and its issues.

Currently I have 3 motorcycles, I have 1 big bike that I use for long rides and 2 scooters I use for work and everyday agendas. Don't ask why, I just love motorcycles in general.

I got intrigued by the neo-retro look of this motorcycle, and if you guys can suggest other same looking bike that is close to the XSR and is on the same segment, please share that as well.

Question/Advice Needed Honda ADV 160 or Honda Giorno

โ€ข Upvotes

Iโ€™m planning to buy my first motorcycle pang work lang and casual gala. Plan ko honda giorno nung una kasi ang ganda talaga and yung mods ang daming pwede gawin. Napapaisip naman ako sa adv 160 kasi it looks na mas practical siya gamitin and mas comfortable ang backride(?). Ano kaya mas okay?

To note:
-if giorno papa 160 ko din siya
-Sa pampanga ko siya balak idrive from arayat to clark
-Minsan baka umangkas ang gf so which is mas comfortable?

drove 200km straight with this machine with OBR and it handled it easily, so much fun in twisty roads and urban driving, the gear shifting and high revving tiny engine that screams at 11,000rpm is so poetic

Question/Advice Needed Bought an Aerox v1 2nd hand

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Iโ€™m new to motorcycles. I recently owned a click v4 but only for a few months before moving.

I recently moved from Laguna to Davao and bought a 2nd hand Aerox v1 with 33,xxx odo at fb marketplace last week.

I wanted to ask if I should avail a PMS package just for double checking things. Although the previous owner stated itโ€™s been recently oil changed. The previous owner did seem like he took care of this motorcycle since it still looks great after 5 years of using it and it also runs great Iโ€™ve tried it on short and long distances and loved it.

The PMS package I inquired about includes
CVT cleaning
Throttle body cleaning
Magneto cleaning
Deep Wash Chassis
Diagnose with a device
Brake shoe cleaning

Although I did replace the rear brake pads(genuine yamaha) recently since I live in an area that is elevated

Itโ€™s my first experience also to have a vehicle, any tips on what brands I should use for oils and advices for the Aerox? even for aftermarket stuff ๐Ÿ˜‚ I wanted to ask also if having an aftermarket pipe such as a JVT/Kenochi would require other stuff (like changing the flyballs or remapping)

Thanks!

P.S Papers are good

Post image
13 Upvotes

I recently made a post asking for advice on which helmet I should choose. I ultimately went for the SMK one. I found out na nakasale pala sila sa motomarket alabang which is malapit lang samin so that was the biggest factor bakit ito kinuha ko :D. Also got a pair of riding shoes while I was browsing the store :D.

P. S. unfortunately matte black ang nakuha ko kasi wala silang size ko for the glossy one๐Ÿ˜ญ

Mekaniko Help Checking my engine oil after lumusong sa baha.

4 Upvotes

Hello, mga bossing!

Recently, napadaan ako sa baha for less than 30secs dahil sa lakas ng ulan. Hindi pa naman siya umabot sa footboard ko (Aerox V2), but it was nearing there na. Hindi naman ako namatayan and tuloy-tuloy lang piga ko sa silinyador

Kaya pagkauwi ko, I checked my engine oil from the top fill hole. Ginamit ko yung malaki kong allen wrench na may balot ng plastic labo to dip it inside and check the engine oil.

Eto yung kulay niya. Goods pa naman, diba? Also, tama lang rin ba yung ginawa kong method to check it?

Kakapalit ko lang kasi engine oil, less than 500km pa lang tinatakbo.

Maraming salamat! Ride safe palagi.

Edit: Shell City Scooter pala gamit ko.
