The bike is not working well.
The broken bike story.
It all started wen I went to make an oil and coolant fluid change.
I bought my bike from my good friend Adidas.
He is my mechanics.
After he finished to make the oil change, I went back home on the expressway. It's about 25 KM to my house in Chudong. Of course, after an oil change, I felt very confident to drive my bike at full speed, respecting the speed limit of 165km/h (Sorry one moment, my wife is talking to me........What do you mean honey?? The speed limit is 90KH/h?? OK) As I was saying, I was respecting the speed limit of 90KH/h.. ... And I noticed that the VTEC on my engine wasn't working (
To make it simple when the VTEC opens you get 50% more power.
I was intrigued.
I got to Chudong. When I got out of the expresseway the oil light started to flash. (what the hell. I just changed the oil) I tough that maybe it was because we changed the oil filter and we forgot to add a little more oil.
When I got home, I putted the bike on the stand to open the door of the garage. When I opened the light inside, I looked at my bike and saw about 1 litre of oil under it.
I pushed the bike inside and looked at it.
There was oil everywhere on my bike. It was covered in oil and my pants too.
I looked under the bike only to find that there was not nut/bolt keeping the oil in the engine.
He didn't (Adidas) tight it hard enough and I lost it somewhere.
I was freaking out. My bike over heated.
I called him and explained what happened. He said that he was so sorry and he came to fix it.
I thought nothing of it.
The next few days....
I took the bike to go to work driving on the same expressway respecting the speed limit of 160....haaaaa I meant 90KH/h and when I got to work my bike was hot. It was so hot that even the frame of the bike was hot.
I called Adidas explaining again. So as a good friend would do,,he came and picked-up the bike and brought it to his shop.
He said that the fan was dead. I said to change it (MY bike is a 7 years old and part will break)
The problem is that 3 days later the fan broke again.
Then the sensor (heat sensor)
Still patient I said ok change it.
After all that the bike is still over heating.
He takes it again and installs a switch to turn on and off the fan.
I don't like it. If the bike was to have a fan,,Honda would have had putted one on it. (catch my drift?)
I go along with the fan.
I take the bike out for a spin in the mountains.
After half an hour of driving I smell something coming out of the bike so I stopped.
I looked under the bike and see the cooling fluid coming out.
That's it I am FUCKING ANGRY.
I called him again. But this time I am screaming on the phone.
He said "sorry I am coming and I will bring the bike to my shop to fix it"
I said "NO" BRING YOUR TOOLS HERE AND FIX IT NOW" "I DON"T HAVE 4 HOURS TO LOOSE IN MY LIFE TO GO BACK TO YOUR SHOP".
I was far away from his shop.
When he got there.
We looked under the gas tank. I asked him what he was doing?
He told me that last time, he took "The flow regulator" out of the pump...... and not it would not closed tight..
I got more angry.
"What are you doing" I said. "I never had any problems before you fucked up with the oil change"
He said "Sorry, sorry"
"I don't care about the sorry" I said "Just fix it"
Then I got so angry that I said "Forget it. I will bring it to someone who knows what he is doing"
So I brought the bike to an other mechanics.
The verdict is....My engine is dead because it over heated and the liquid coolant is not circulating in the engine the way it is supposed to do.
So now I need to call my friend Adidas and tell him that he needs to change the engine (at his cost) (I didn't fuck up. He did).
We will see how good friend we are.
I hope all will go well.

VTEC is an acronym for Variable Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control. VTEC is a valve train system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a 4-stroke internal combustion engine. This system uses two camshaft profiles and electronically selects between the profiles. This was the first system of its kind. Different types of variable valve timing and lift control systems have also been produced by other manufacturers (MIVEC from Mitsubishi, VVTL-i from Toyota, VarioCam Plus from Porsche, VVL from Nissan and so on). It was invented by Honda R&D engineer Ikuo Kajitani.[1] It can be said that VTEC, the original Honda variable valve control system, originated from REV (Revolution-modulated valve control) introduced on the CBR400 in 1983 known as HYPER VTEC.[2])
To make it simple when the VTEC opens you get 50% more power.
