600km and running strong

It has been a week and 600km after the repair. It is going well and very enjoyable to ride now.

In the morning, starting it is easy and it idle steadily straight away. It does not die at traffic light too.

Even though it was expensive, but I was glad, I made the decision to get it repaired.

On the road again

It took a week to complete the repairs. Change 4 valves, piston ring and a gasket set. Engine oil and oil filter to.

Now, the engine is more stable. It does not died at the traffic light. Phewww... nice.

Performance also a little better. Better torque. Easier climbing hilly roads.

Workmanship was quite okey. But I do not have many choice. That is the only mechanics whom is doing non-popular bikes like Daelim, NAZA, Momos, Demak and a few other European bikes. It is just a small shop but have got quite a good resouces (when it come to part and experties)

I am enjoying the Daelim Daystar now. No more difficulties during starting it in the morning. Climb the steep road to my son's school easily to.

I am planning to ride it to Kuantan in May.

Problem with the valves

The engine was not very smooth for quit a while. In the morning it will be very difficult to warm up. It will keep stalling. Only after 10-15 minutes will the engine become smooth. The fuel consumption also very high. Last Saturday I decided to bring it to the mechanic.

It turn out to be very bad. All valve shown sing of overheating. The piston was okey but I was advise to change the piston ring set and get the bore polished.

I agree with the proposal. So I had to leave the bike there because it was already 16:00hr in the afternoon.

I am hoping it will be ready by Monday.
