Hello po, I was searching for threads here and found nothing related to my concern so I will ask this here and hopefully I could get an answer soon. I already have the money(cash) and the Sniper 150 MXi is already available in the 3s Shop and all I need to know now is the Do's and Don'ts on a sniper mot2 and the Break in.
and also:
1) Will Yamaha 3s shop allow me to change the oil and oil filter after the first 20km(motoman) without voiding the warranty? I will pay for the oil and oilfilter and the labor if it will be allowed and change the oil and filter again on the next first 500km with the coupon if it's possible or do you guys have any suggestions about how I should break-in my snipee 150?
2) Anybody have an Idea where I get comprehensive insurance for 97k snipee?
TS...
Actually you do not need to follow all the things that motoman stated in his article. His article mostly relates to huge engines with a lot or huge cylinders and pistons and delicate components which has very short clearace/space in between them inside the mc engine unlike the asian motocycles which as lower cc.
All you must remember before getting one are:
1) Make sure the dealer Offers a lot of freebies, good insurance policies (CPTL, TPL, OD, Comprehensive Insurance, just search it for you to know the meaning), and a lot of coupons.
2) Make sure the motorcycle you are going to get has not been tested yet or being started in idle just to know if it works. If in that case it will ruin the break-in process like what is stated in motoman's article.
Things to check before buying out your mc:
- Check the fairings for damages
- see if the handle is aligned from the front fork and tires and also the rear tires.
- check for leaks
- check the signal lights and break lights and your GAUGE for any broken pixel (without starting the mc and during starting your mc)
- check for replaced parts (I can attest that most mechanics and personnel would replace parts from a new mc
with substandard or used ones)
- make sure you get both keys and the ECU Password(for EFI Cash basis)
3) After buying the mc, you should consider every detail in the mechanic's orientation and ask whatever you want to ask and you should even get his/her number and make sure they put Yamaha mineral oil on your new MC (I'm sorry to tell you but they usually put synthetic so im sorry).
4) BUY ONLY FROM YAMAHA 3S SHOP DEALERS
4) Only start the motorcycle if you are going to begin your break in process. Like what motoman said, the first 20miles is the most important so when you get out from the 3s shop, you will begin the break-in process.
5) When breaking in, make sure you have warmed up your mc for 1min(it would be enough for an FI mc) and DO NOT REV.
6) After warming up, start slow(while you are still in the 3s shop) and when you get out, you can burst your acceleration.
7) During the break-in, all you need to do is to:
(I will not explain to you all of the details since I assume you already did a lot of research)
(Figure 1)(step 1)
>burst accel(full throttle) then shiftup to 2nd
>burst accel(full throttle) then shiftup to 3rd
>burst accel(full throttle) (do not shift to 4th) close throttle to engine break
(DO NOT EVER BRAKE)
>shift down to 2nd (with timing, do not suddenly shift down to 2nd if you are running fast or you will drift)
>shift down to 1st (with timing, do not suddenly shift down to 2nd if you are running fast or you will drift)
(Figure 2)(step 2)
>burst accel(full throttle) then shiftup to 2nd
>burst accel(full throttle) then shiftup to 3rd
>burst accel(full throttle) then shiftup to 4th
>burst accel(full throttle) then close throttle to engine break and decelerate
>shift down to 2nd (with timing, do not suddenly shift down to 2nd if you are running fast or you will drift)
>shift down to 1st (with timing, do not suddenly shift down to 2nd if you are running fast or you will drift)
(Figure 3)(step 3)
>long bursts and quick decelerations and so on
Please be reminded to rest your mc for 5-10mins after your first 10-15kms.
What you are trying to achieve is to pair the bore and the piston rings and let the rings stick to the piston with the help of the HEAT generated by accelerating and decelerating(engine breaking). It's just like having sex, the
ps will not let in any air inside the
va and no leaks.
It's not necessary to change the oil since our oil filters today are very much reliable and most of the broken particles would be blown out during the deceleration or engine breaking and if thier are few particles inside the engine, the 500kms(as per 3s shop first 500kms change oil warranty policy) is not too far to run. Just make sure they change it with mineral oil.
MOST OF ALL.. GET YOUR NEW MOTORCYCLE BLESSED and PADUGUAN to AVOID SPILLING YOURS
GOD ALWAYS GUIDES US.
I hope I had been of help to you. Good luck in getting your MC. Pm us if you have problems or queries. Tank you.
Have fun with it!
hehe..
