To GT 128 Owner

I like this bike. The design is very nice with disk brakes at the front and rear. 128cc engine is just nice to commute. In general, I assumed it will be durable.

But to my surprise...............

A few days ago, I met a friend whom is using the GT 128. He bought it new. Careful rider, I mean very careful.

He said he had just made a major service. Piston and rings were replaced. I ask what was his mileage? He said a little over 30,000km. Wowww... after 30,000km the piston set already need replacement!

That is not good. Usually for a kapcai, it will be around 70-80,000km. So, I asked why. He said he forgotten to check the engine oil level. When he went for servicing after 4 month, it was almost dry. The combustion chamber was badly scratched.

So, to GT 128 owner, please check you engine oil regularly. It seems that this kapcai is having lost oil problem.

And some few month ago, I also came across a GT 128 being overhauled. Crank shaft jammed and the whole engine get affected. Back then, the bike was only a few month old.

Ehmmm.. I wonder... how's the QC over there at Modenas assembly plant.....................
