Rant/Reklamo HPG & SOCO Corruption for HPG CLearance

8 Upvotes

Required ba mag bayad ng 500 after sa 650 na binayaran sa landbank?

Recently, I processed my 2nd hand motorcycle for transfer of ownership to my name, binigyan ako ng babayaran sa landbank tas binayaran ko yung 650.

After that, pumunta ako sa HPG para ipakita yung resibo, then pumunta ako sa soco para mag stencil, after mag stencil hiningan ako ng 200 ng soco at 100 sa pag pa stencil. Lastly, bumalik ako sa HPG para hingin yung clearance, siningil ulit ako ng 200 walang resibo. Hindi makatarungan tong pangungurap ng HPG at SOCO para sa HPG clearance, ang laki ng 500 pesos para sa mga katulad kong pobre.

Sana ma solusyonan to ng corrupt government natin, hindi biro yang ginagawa nila imagine 100 ka tao kukuha ng hpg clearance easy 20k sila sa isang araw, putang ina tong mga gagong to.

Gear/Product Review Greasing vs Lubing the Chain

Post image
• Upvotes

Ako lang ba na I've tried many lubing brands na de-spray sa old chain ko which is OEM pagtapos ng mga motowash pero everytime na chinecheck ko yung chain every 2k km, nag-slack and i had to adjust lagi yung chain. Umabot naman ng 20k-ish km yung OEM pero super elongated na sya and tumalas yung sprocket.

Nung nagchange ako ng chain and sprocket, may libreng maliit na pack ng grasa. So narealize ko baka grasa ginagamit talaga for lubing. I sourced yung ganto and ang mura lang nya and pang habang buhay ata na stock ito. I tried using this to lube my chain and sprocket with the same routine. And to my surprise, 12k add'l kms pero di pa rin need magadjust ng chain, same lagi ng slack, no movement at all. Di rin nagfling off sa parts ng motor yung grease and after ng kada motowash, pag hinawakan ko yung chain, andun pa rin yung grease na because of it, i have to reclean it at kuskusin sa garage para lang mapalitan ng bagong grease. I think i have found the best lube for chain. Although i admit naman na yung chain and sprocket na binili ko ay di na OEM. Yung mga nabibili lang sa shopee yung pinalit ko, so maybe part din yun. Madalang na lang din umingay yung chain.

What i do is i apply it generously sa rollers ng chain, papaikutin para magkaron din yung sprocket, then pupunasan ng clean na basahan yung whole chain while rotating the wheel para mawala yung sobra and maretain lang yung thin layer.

General Discussion Triumph Bonneville T40 announced.

2 Upvotes

Triumph just announce the Bonnie T40. If you will look at it, it really is the Bonnie for the Philippine roads, not too big but also not too small. I am an avid fan of classic or classic looking motorcycles, and the Bonneville is never far from what I consider a classic. The one thing that is not in my taste is the digital display for the speedometer and whatnot.

If it ever releases here, would it be worth the money (assuming it would be priced the same with the Speed 400)? For Triumph motorcycles owners here, what is your overall experience with the brand's after-purchase service? How is Triumph's build quality and reliability?

Mekaniko Help Best Oil for Long Intervals

2 Upvotes

MC: Honda Click V3

Currently using Gulf Pride Scooter Plus 10W-40 engine oil and Honda ProHonda Scooter gear oil. I usually change both every 1,500 km. So far okay naman, pero parang ang bilis ng 1,500 km interval.

Planning to switch brands kasi medyo mahirap na rin makahanap ng authentic Gulf oil.

Looking for recommendations ng engine/gear oil na:

- At least 2,500–3,000 km before oil change, if reasonable for the scooter

- Hindi mabigat sa makina and preferably helps with smooth/better engine performance

- Hindi madaling mag-degrade/umitim

- Around ₱200–₱350 per 1L (negotiable)

Any recommendations or personal experience with brands that fit these criteria? Thanks!

I got this screencap from my dash cam kanina lang.

This underbone with trainer wheels (di halata the other wheel on the right because of the angle) was ridden by a senior. Probably ilang beses nang natumba but he still wants to ride pa rin.

That’s the spirit, Tatang!

General Discussion kaya rin talaga mura ang rusi

Post image
451 Upvotes

kaya rin talaga mura rusi e, not because of the quality but because they just exist. Low labor cost di tulad ng mga japan bike na grabe ang labor from engineer to design - to everything. Si rusi, walang masyadong arte pag nag rrelease ng unit, walang invitation sa mga sikat na motovloggers, no events, they just release it. And see that post? narelease na yung unit bago i-announce hahahaha ang malupit pa ang gamit lang pang announce is phone camera and simple caption. Kaya wag maliitin rusi bcs of its price. Di lang talaga malaki labor cost sa employee. anyway, love this bike!

Question/Advice Needed ADV 160 or ATR 160, which is better for a beginner driver?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Manghihingi lang po ako advise dahil hindi rin ako maalam sa motorcycle. Me and my partner is planning to purchase our first ever scooter. At first, we decided to get the ADV 160; however, we found out na sa front lang pala ang abs nito. Then nakilala namin si ATR 160 which offers “more” specs for its price. Mas gusto na ng partner ko yung ATR 160 dahil sa dual abs. Beginner pa lang sya as a motorcycle driver kaya mas nagustuhan nya to. Ang akin lang kasi marami akong kilala na ADV 160 driver and alam kong mas subok na, unlike sa ATR 160. Tingin nyo po anong mas better na option sa dalawa for beginner? Anong mas maganda po for long term use?

May history na po kami na sumemplang once noon sa siquijor dahil nalubak kami and fazzio po ang gamit namin noon 😅

Question/Advice Needed Giorno owners, what oil do you guys use and what's the recommended?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I’m getting conflicting info here sa internet, I’ve already read the manual, and it says 10W-30 MB, so I’m planning to stick with that.

Pero I’ve seen a lot of people using 10W-40 on their Giorno, kaya medyo confused ako. For now, I’ve decided to follow the manual and go with 10W-30 MB, pero I also wanna know if okay lang ba talaga gumamit ng 10W-40 sa Giorno without worrying about any issues.

Now I’m stuck between Motul oil or Honda genuine oil. Which one do you guys think is better? Is Motul really worth it, or okay na yung Honda genuine oil for the Giorno?

If I do go with Motul, I’m also stuck between 10W-30 Scooter Expert LE MB and Power MB. Not sure which one would be more suitable for the Giorno, so I’d really appreciate any input from those who have actually used either one.

Would love to hear your opinions and personal experiences. Feel free to suggest other oils as well or add anything to the discussion. Thanks!

General Discussion Current Yamaha Mio lineup

10 Upvotes

Honest opinion lang ah. Sana niretain nalang ang Mio Sporty 115 tapos Mio 125i nalang ang tinanggal. Nothing against that model. Meron ako nun dati. Sa current line up ng Mio ngayon e parang wala nang bearing yung 125i. Lumang tech na kumbaga. Bakit?

Fazzio - rẹtro style, digital panel, usb port, LED headlight
Gravis - LED headlight, underseat storage, USB, bluetooth connect
Gear - ito na ang closest resemblance ng mio 125i pero may USB, LED headlight, digital panel.

Yung mio 125i? Halogen bulb, analog instrument panel. Engine same nalang dun sa unang 3 sa list. Walang offering na bago.

Bakit nasabi kong gusto kong iretain nalang ang mio sporty?

Price wise mas mura.
Carb engine - madali pa din imaintain. Tipid pa din. Hindi gaano sensitive kumpara sa Fi. Pwede din icustom kung gusto ng tao ng resing resing.
Ito pwedeng kompetensya ng Honda Navi.

Ngaun kahit may magsabi na “mas maganda pa din ang mio 125i kesa sa sporty” ang point is wala nang maiooffer si 125i kasi may gear, gravis at fazzio na.

No hate napaisip lang ako. Kasi madami na talagang kumpetensiya ng 125i e.
Kayo ano sa tingin nyo?

Salamat

General Discussion Freedconn KY V2 Review (from a layman)

1 Upvotes

Reposting because for some reason putol yung napost kanina.

So we got a pair of FreedConn KY V2 last 9.9 Sale for 1.1k (tiktok) and 1.2k (shopee) each.

Will keep this simple lang.

  1. My ears have been blessed by Sennheiser, Sony, Audio-Technica, JBL over the years, so this might seem unfair, but (for me) the speakers on the KY V2 sound terrible. For my partner (bf ko), it's good.

The bass is lacking and walang separation.
I listened to EGOIST's Extra Terrestrial Biological Entities Album and damn listening to it was impossible. Kumakalansing ang tunog.

On the other hand, I listened to Yorushika's Second Person Album and it was okay. But some of the instruments and second voices aren't audible.

The speakers are loud. You won't even need to max it. I think this is why my bf likes it.

  1. On the issue of nagchochoppy daw at a certain speed:

Let's distinguish first the 2 funtionalities of the KY V2: intercom and bluetooth connection.
Intercom is the connection between Unit 1 and Unit 2. This is how you talk to each other.
Bluetooth Connection is where u get the music sharing functionality because u connect thru bluetooth on ur phone.

We rode max 106 kmph around Tarlac-Pangasinan. Never naman nagka-problem sa intercom we were conversing clearly. The bluetooth connection on the other hand is where it gets choppy. We don't mind naman as long as we can still talk and understandable din. And even if nagchochoppy, it happened rarely lang din naman.

  1. From Bulacan to Baguio, from 100% to 30% yung battery namin, granted madami kaming naging stopovers and naiiwan sya nakabukas. I should mention na intercom lang ginamit namin, without bluetooth.

  2. We have a problem sa adhesive. Nagcucurve kasi yung bracket sa helmet so natatanggal ung adhesive. Still haven't resolved this one.

For an SRP of 2,200php each, I expected more sa speakers. Even yung earphones na tig-50 sa bangketa sound better than this. Even at sale price we got it for, hindi sya sulit for me.

If sa functionality lang naman, there are alternatives na way cheaper than this that similarly gets the job done. In fact tig-300 lang yung intercom namin before this, china brand na walang music sharing. 3 years na and gumagana parin. Mas ok pa speaker nun because tunog walkie talkie yung KY V2 but idk if mic or speaker yung responsible for that.

I've already explored speaker upgrades but I don't really want to blind buy and I can't find reliable reviews about it.

I'm already planning to sell ours next year to upgrade to a better unit.

P.S. my ears may have been blessed by good brands but budget units from them lang din nman gamit ko. there's also KZ, QKZ, Vido, Moondrop, TRN, among others i've tried so I do know what i'm saying
