Kelvin30286063:

Where did you buy your oil and filter?

uwemjack:


The oil filter was ordered from aliexpress while the oil was gotten from their distributor in festac lagos

Kelvin30286063:

Aliexpress takes time to deliver. I need to change my oil filter. I haven't changed it in the last 2 maintenance

uwemjack:


Not that long, usually not more than 4week. If you had ordered 4wks ago you would have it by now.

You can check local motorcycle parts stores too, but be sure of the exact fit of filter.

What is the model of your bike?

Kelvin30286063:


Sure I know the fit, I do my oil change myself, it's not rocket science actually. Thanks bro. Mine is a beginner's bike, CBR 250R. Just 300cc but I'm currently negotiating with dealer to buy the CBR 1000R with about 1000cc cos I feel I'm experienced enough to handle bigger motorcycle now.

uwemjack:


True!
I have one filter left from my old ninja I will give you for free if you can pick up in lag but am not sure it will fit your bike see picture, the dimensions are
height 40mm
Width 44m
Internal diameter 12mm.

You have a beautiful bike there

That's so kind of you bro. Thank you.
You welcome
I checked the dimensions and it doesn't match mine but I already placed an order for a matching filter on Aliexpress. That Aliexpress is our saviour in this country I tell you. I would have said Amazon but shipping cost security fee is always too much.
I bought most of the modifications for my bike on Aliexpress.
same here

Kelvin30286063:

Bro, another question I've been meaning to ask is how do you record videos with clear audio on your bike. I have this problem of wind making the audio recording of my videos defective.

Rear Break pad change...
So I was planning about 600km road trip on Simba. Created a checklist to ensure the bike was in top condition.

The rear break pad didn't pass the check as it had worn to almost flat, even though it was still performing optimally. The front pads on the other hand is still full.

So I ordered 3 sets of break pads, two set for the front and I set for the rear. It eventually arrived and I will be replacing the rear pads only while the front will be stored for future use.

Went to YouTube to watch the how to, closest video shows that rear tyre has to be removed to change the rear pads, too much work as I don't care about removing the wheel! Went to my e-manual so that I didn't need to remove the wheel.
My steps for this replacement where
1. Put the bike on its centre stand
2. Remove the split pin keeper
3. Remove retaining pin using a screw driver and a hammer
4. Remove the pads
5. Press back the caliper piston using a screw driver
6. Install new break pads
7. Install the retaining pin
8. Install the pin keeper
9. Press the breaks several times
10. Drink a can of malt�

Grip Puppies
So I recently went for a ride and forgot to pick my gloves, I was maybe 500m from the house when I realized no gloves on, instead of going back i decided to ride on, it was a mistake! The handlebar rubber on the bike is very worn!
I should add that I have been experiencing some discomfort and numbness on long rides
The ride was like 64km to and fro and boy the discomfort was "worser"!!! it just would not happen again!!!
Thankfully i had ordered grip puppies which is just 4mm of foam that slides on the handlebars and acts like padding, the pair delivered was at $1.25, it reduces transmitted vibrations and discomfort or numbness. I had it on my other bike.
