[nismo26]

Thanks bro. I'm in the process of upgrading my tires to 265/70 AT and rear shocks to RS 5113 as you've suggested. I know you can relate to my concerns having plied the roads i usually travel. It's kinda hard to find a 17 inch tire though.

Mobil1 fully synthetic is designed for petrol engines, can it be used for diesel engines also?

to BOSB, can we install a steering damper to our ride?

many thanks.

Those concerns were solved bro,after my upgrade

Some members here uses mobil1 fully synthetic
that's why i'm convinced.

I did try to load a bag of sand to add some riding comfort..

Hi..PenX2 from Zamboanga here..i dont post here often..but i read the discussions here everyday to keep myself up to date..recently alot about the usual/possible problems Strada owners experience/encounter with their units are being discussed here..i noticed that the most usual problem being brought up is the uneven height of the Strada..i have not really took the time to check if my unit has this problem..but if it does..can i choose to leave it that way if i dont mind the uneven height visually?or would this uneven height lead to future problems with our units if not immediately corrected?to those who had their unit's uneven height "remedied"..what did the casa staff do to correct it?any advice?kasi im from Zamboanga..i feel the casa staff here are not as well trained as their counterparts there in manila..heck,theyre probly not even aware of this uneven height issue exist..and might just assume/conclude that the uneven heigtht is just "normal" in all Strada units & dont know and wont do anything about it..please help..any advice would be greatly apprciated...thanks in advance..

hello and welcome to the thread sir penx2. the uneven height does not pose any safety concern as long as there are no loose connection between the frame and the suspension parts. if you dont mind the slight lean (others could not really discern it unless they measure it) then it wont be a problem at all.

the casas here in manila remedied the problem by replacing and installing the correct part. our stradas were originally manufactured in thailand and i think there were times that they inadvertently installed a suspension part that is supposed to be for right hand drive stradas, hence the problem.

if you happen to go here in manila, you can drop by and see the stradas of the strada club members. we usually see each other at least once a week for our weekly gimmicks, hehehe..... drive inspired!

[Skippy]

Excited na ko to see you guys Want to check out your lids as well and ask you guys pros and cons regarding carryboy and miggyboy. I'll visit carryboy within the week and maybe miggyboy this saturday.

I've been enjoying the drive. bitin nga lang to keep it at 2k rpm that sees you running the thing at 80kph max.

Btw, normal ba yung shift shock sa A/T variant? Of course, timing din naman sa pedal release. Pagdahandahan, smooth naman. Pero may mga times na nabibitawan yung pedal at medyo malakas yung shift ng gear. Would be nice if they added a gear indicator sa dash

[alchemy101]

Sirs
after 10,000km:
May lagatok and steering ko, I hope maayos ng dealer.
kalampag din ang several parts of the body.
looking for a lock sa pedals, steering wheel lock bitin eh.
need your suggestion pls.
thanks and Godspeed

Huh?! Sa pagkakaalam ko meron gear display sa dashboard ang A/T variants.

hi sir about the issue sa riding comfort 1 bag of sand lang ba nilagay nyo? yung cement na sack? does this greatly affect the FC?

hi tancho,

what i meant was gears 1-4. the display doesn't include that information. only tells you you're in D, R, N, or P

hi tancho,

Bro sana yan na yan hehehehehe in the long run you will feel kung anong gear na gamit mo if it's 1-4. Also masasanay ka din na mag manual shift up and down using your foot and gas peddal.
