Actually, what I really wanted to say is that today, I feed my bike something machiam steroid, which make my bike very powerful.
But I never eat before steroid so I don't really know how it feels. The only thing close to it that I ever eaten is the army anti-malaria pill. So I say my bike eat anti-malaria pill.
If you can’t make head or tail, or want to know what exactly I gave my bike eat, this is my full story.Meet Ah Kim the Drug Pusher
I have this friend call Ah Kim. He also xiao bike like me. But he very techie one. Like to go into cheem cheem things that are beyond me. Like what chemicals in what lubricants and solvents are good and what are not good.
One day, he called me and say he got a fuel addictive, ask me to try.The fuel addictive is those type you mix into your petrol after you top-up. Almost like a 2-T oil like that. His fuel addictive goes by a very un-hip name, FP-60. Don’t ask me why must be 60 and not 59 or 61.
I say ok lor. Free mah anyway.
His FP-60 is come from a never-heard of company from US. He says it can clean the engine and the fuel injective system. Can increase your petrol octane by one level up. Means you pump 95 and can get the effect of 98. And it can reduce fuel emission and what knot.
If you want to read more, later go to : http://www.lubecontrol.com/fuel.htm.
But I am a very practical person. I don’t care if my bike can save the earth’s ozone layer or not. I just care whether the fuel addictive can help me to save on my petrol cost or make my bike chiong even faster. FYI, my bike is a Fazer1000. His name is Frost.
One thing about this Ah Kim. He very honest. He already tried the FP-60 himself liao and he doesn’t think it can really improve fuel mileage.
So if it cannot improve fuel mileage, what good is it for me?
Last time I also tried before a fuel addictive called “XYZ” that I bought from the accessory shop AutoBacs. The “XYZ” says it can make the engine more powerful, improve fuel mileage, protect the engine, make it last longer, etc etc. I started off trying the XYZ with great enthusiasm. But after trying the XYZ for a while, I still don’t feel any difference. I gave up on XYZ and become skeptical of the whole idea of fuel addictives.
After all, where got so good one? If fuel addictive really so solid, why the petrol companies don’t offer it inside their petrol instead of offering silly promotions?
So based from my past unhappy experience with other fuel addictives, I see Ah Kim’s addictive as just another one of them and was quite prepared to give up on it without even trying it out first. I was already mentally prepared to use this blog space to tell you about this pretty chio girl I met the other day.
And it doesn’t help that this Ah Kim offer his FP-60 in a small plastic bottle exactly like those use to keep cough mixture that you get from a clinic complete with ml markings at its side. Moreover, FP-60 is pink in colour. Lagi look like cough mixture. When I opened the bottle cap, it indeed smelled like cough mixture.
The FP-60 actually comes in a bigger bottle that looks more like a proper product. But Ah Kim ration and pour into smaller medicine-like bottles to give out as samples to let people try.
FP-60 looks like that, when not in medicine bottles.
He says, only need to pour 30 ml of the FP-60 for every 20 litre of petrol will do. But because I am so skeptical of his fuel addictive, I tell him one bottle maybe not enough, so give me 2 bottles to try.
I have just top up my Frost full tank with Octane95 from SPC. I very niao one. Ah Kim helped me to pour the FP-60 into my fuel tank. Then shake my Fazer1000 around as if it is a SP 2-stroke bike. Then I say bye bye and rode off. I was in for a surprise.
Frost on Steroid
I expected to feel no effect from his FP-60. Or, at best, if I tried very hard and be ultra-sensitive, maybe I can psycho myself that I can vaguely feel something different.
But wah lau eh. From the moment I move off, I can feel the difference liao. No need to strain to notice. It’s rather obvious to me.
Frost feels like it just drink kopi kao times two. Ang moh called it espresso.The bike really feel like it keeps wanting to chiong. The throttle feels on a “tighter” leash. Feels like needs less effort to accelerate. More immediate response. Some times feel like I am riding one gear lower than normal.
When I ride on the expressway, my cruising speed increase by an extra 20 kmh. So I was tailgating the Mercedes and Volvos all the way along PIE (other cars all guai guai siamp one side liao, but don’t know why, only Mercedes and Volvo drivers si bei thick skin and just die die don’t budge their ass and give way). When not tailgating, I was overtaking the extreme right cars vie the middle or extreme left lane. To say the least, I was riding a little on the naughty side.
Throughout the whole ride, I was rather worried about encountering a TP.
I have never felt so aggressive on a bike before. Except only once. It was during my last year’s reservist.
Fact About SAF Anti-Malaria Pill
Last year, I have to go to Pulau Tekong for reservist. As you know lah, SAF is dam kia su one. So they issue my whole reservist group with anti-malaria pills to take in case we kena malaria from mosquito bite on Pulau Tekong.
My reservist buddy took the pill at night and complained it kept him awake the whole night. So I decided to take the pill in the morning before I leave my house for reservist. But the anti-malaria pill somehow has this effect of making me more aggressive. I was either overtaking cars like mad or tailgating cars like mad. That morning, I reached Pulau Tekong extra early. My reservist buddy said the anti-malaria pill contains a chemical known to be a stimulant.
Now, I ride Frost as if like I just took the anti-malaria pill again. It is very strange. It is actually not me but Frost that took the FP-60. But don’t know why it also affects me.
Other Signs
I am still very skeptical about this FP-60. Maybe it is just a self-fulfilling prophecy and not real. So I want to see if there are other means to indicate my bike is really more powerful.
On my way home, I always kena this 2 traffic lights that always turn red whenever I am there. So when the light turn green, being a 1000cc bike, Frost always leave the rest of the vehicles some distance behind.
Today, after adding the FP-60, Frost is still as usual, first vehicle in front. But when I looked back, wah, the vehicles are way further behind than usual. And not only one traffic light. The next traffic light also same thing. The vehicles are left further behind than usual.
Then when I reached home, at night, I still have this urge to go and ride my bike again because it feels damn siok to ride. Normally I don’t gian (lust) my bike until like that. So at night, I took my bike out again to chiong.
Analysis
You may say that all these things that I described are still subjective feeling, and are not objective enough. I totally agree with you.
But how to give objective proof? Bring my bike go dyno? Maybe. But I ride bike long enough to know that dyno charts are not conclusive also. You can mod your bike here mod your bike there, but the dyno chart come out nothing gained. Or, the dyno chart can say you add one or two hp at the top end. But when you ride, you still don’t feel anything different. So what’s the point even if the dyno chart say you gain extra 2 horsepower? Many people think dyno is objective. Actually, you can get different results when you dyno a few times, by different people. It is like back in school days when you have simple laboratory experiments. Never sui sui consistent result one.
So maybe, in the end, it is whether the rider can feel anything different that matters.
I will try a longer term test to see if there is any improvement in fuel consumption from using FP-60. This should be a more objective test. Although Ah Kim says it may not improve, I will still try anyway and I will report back here.
Why FP-60 Leh?
Assuming this FP-60 really works as I felt, then
- It should make your bike go faster, marginally.
- If one elects to avoid going faster, than by right, it should translate to improvement in fuel consumption.
- If this FP-60 really makes the engine “smoother” from its cleaning effect, than it should be beneficial to the long-term well being of your bike engine and not be detrimental to the engine.
- To use FP-60 maybe a bit mah fun (troublesome). It is like 2-T oil lor. You must keep a small bottle with you on your bike. So after you top up petrol, you than need to add the FP-60. It is a change in your routine. If you can change and disciplined enough to stay with the change until it becomes a routine, than you would have no problem.
I will keep you posted on the fuel consumption and my feedback from longer-term use of the FP-60.
And if you belong to any of the following type of riders, you may like FP-60 also:
- You pump on V-Power. Nothing less will do. Don't care oil price.
- You like to park your bike far far away from other people’s bikes and cars
- You wax your bike more often than you bath
- Every time you park your bike, you always put on a bike cover
- Every time before you start your bike, you look out to see if got any new scratches on your bike
- Every month, new accessories will appear on your bike
- You got a brand new Yoshi or Akapok exhaust
Caveats
Caveat is just another name for “Z-olp” or excuses:
- I don't earn a single cent from this FP-60 or Ah Kim at all. Whether you buy this FP-60 or not, is none of my pua sa (business). Vice versa, if the FP-60 doesn’t work for you, don’t come and find me. I am doing this mainly out of my curiosity, my love for motorcycling, and self-interest. I want to try if this FP-60 is really good. If good, I will buy it out of my own pocket after my two medicine bottles of FP-60 run out.
If this FP-60 is really good, no harm I tell you what I felt. If it is not good, I rather keep my mouth shut. If not wait you send hackers change my blog into porn site.
- FP-60 may give that kind of effect I described for my Fazer1000 (03 model carburetor). But it may not give your bike a similar effect.
Maybe if your bike is EFI (electronic fuel injection) type, you may not be so sensitive to the extra throttle response because the EFI comes between your throttle and engine.
But I see it as, if this FP-60 is really that good that it benefits carb engines, it should also benefit your EFI engine. Plus, this Ah Kim says it is especially useful for EFI bikes because with carburetor bikes you can “wash” the carbs, but EFI you can’t “wash” your fuel injectors. The FP-60 is supposed to do this cleaning of fuel injectors for you.
- Even if this FP-60 really improves your throttle response like it did for my bike, this kind of thing, after a while, the rider will get so use to it and become insensitive of the extra power. It is like if you everyday drink 10 cups of coffee. After a while, you can even drink 3 cups at night and you still can sleep without any problems.
But of course, given that a rider is so immune to the effect of FP-60, once he stop using the FP-60, he should instantly feel the bike less powerful.
- If you use FP-60, speed and suay suay kena caught by TP, I don't know if the TP will accept the excuse that you just tried out a new fuel addictive that makes your bike go faster than normal. If this don't work, try "I just ate the SAF anti-malaria pill."
I think this FP-60 not really available in the Singapore market yet.
I don't know what price is it selling for.
