Guys, I believe this is the only motorcycle related thread in here and appreciate your guidance.
I'm hoping to grab a Rebel 125 from a friend and need to attend to some immediate work prior to hitting the road. I have long term hopes of restoring it but for now I'm keen to attend to following:
1. The self start needs to be sorted and there's no kick start. Current user says it's some solnoid (as I heard - I'm not techy) issue and an easy fix.
2. Few basic electronic work such as Neutral gear indicator light, Turn/Brake indicators etc.
3. A proper tune-up as I feel the petrol flow seems reduced by current user.
All other pending stuff I hope to do one at a time as separate projects.
So do you guys have any reliable mechanics around with clean track record?
Thanks in advance guys, cheers.

Yes.
Emission test report is required from the second year onwards. I got the test report and renewed my revenue license online.
Thanks mate and sorry for the late reply.
Yes, the first year emission test was exempted. Got the revenue license online.

Guys, need some advice on obtaining revenue license for a brand new scooter. Is it necessary to obtain an emission test for brand new scooters? I recall something about no emission test required for the first few years? Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Question 2 : Without a revenue license for 5 years, was it running ? or parked somewhere ?
May be the OP is interested in buying an old neglected vehicle that've been parked for >5 years

I first spray water all over the vehicle using the water hose.
Then slow down the water and clean the mud/dirt using my hand( to prevent the body from scratches caused by dirt which get stuck on the cloth) while running the water over the body.
After that I water the body again and apply car wash( I wash my vehicles often so I apply car wash only like once a week)
Finally water the body for the last time and wipe it.
I do keep a different cloth for car wash and for wiping.
Thanks Magnum - I really wanna get used to the habit of washing the ride more frequently just like you
cheers!

It's basically using two separate buckets - one for your soapy water (car wash diluted in water), the other for your clean (rinsing) water. A grit guard is a mesh that is placed at the bottom of the buckets so that when you dip the wash cloth in, it doesn't sink all the way to the bottom and capture all the dirt that has sunk to the bottom of the water. See image below:
I personally think the two bucket method is okay if you don't have access to a garden hose. On the other hand, you save a lot of water when using the two bucket method as opposed to using a hose. The important thing is to keep the wash towels free of dirt every time it touches the surface of the car.
As for your question about letting the car dry on it's own, you might end up with water spots all over the car - especially on the windows. In a country like Sri Lanka where it's hot, humid and a bit dusty, you're better off using a clean microfibre towel to wipe the car dry. Water spots - see image below:
Thanks a lot Davy - this is a detailed one from you as usual. Appreciated.

thanks mate. btw may i know where you got the 3m tint done? and would you mind sharing the costs pleasei guess proper waxing will protect your paint. I have done a 3M tint on my windscreen which had a visible reduction in heat

thanks mate. i am not a fan of car covers as i had a time using few on my previous ride. on the other hand, i am sure its gonna be a mess trying to cover/uncover a wagonI used a car cover made from "breathable" fabric(allows some Air in but no water). But after some time I saw some fungus grown between dashboard and door panel.M aybe its improtant that you remove moisture from the cabin-Air before covering.

Guys, I am compelled to park my car outdoors and may continue to do so for some time.
However I am glad there are no trees on top of the car/around hence the car is somewhat cleaner without much dirt or bird droppings.
Given the weather conditions and other external factors, I would appreciate some expert ideas from all of you on how best I can take precautions and continue? I am right now using a sunshade on the windscreen, that's all.
I am concerned about the rubber / beading etc and how can these be protected? Are there any protectors or cleaners available in the market for similar cases?
Thanks in advance guys.
Car is a 1993 Corolla Wagon - White.

It's better to wash your car yourself.
- Use 2-bucket method with a grit guard
- Use separate microfiber wash mitts to wash top and bottom parts of the car
- Use a third microfiber towel to dry the car
- Use a fourth microfiber towel to wax the car ( I'm using eagle 1 spray wax )
This way you can avoid swirl marks 100%.
I usually give a touch-less wash using my pressure washer before giving a touch wash as described above.
Reopening an old post
Can someone explain me what is this 2 bucket method with a grit guard is all about
By the way is it alright to let the car dry on its own naturally or it is important to dry using a towel?
TIA.

Thank you lovely people for your time and effort. I'll buy a wagon R or Spacia.
Do you think it's a wise idea to put a vehicle for Uber with a driver? That's the final question I need to find an answer
You initially said "I'm planning to buy couple of 660CC vehicles to start a taxi service." and now asking this question

The OP says he is able to drive light vehicles now without any difficulties hence I think it is best you discuss with a reputed driving school or the information counter (at DMT, if they have one) for specific guidance. Probably you may be able to go ahead without any major modifications or under any special category. Good luck mate.

HI there,
Can you please let me know from where you buy these natural oil from?

Sadly I am from Nugegoda mate. I am actually waiting for confirmation today/tomorrow whether I will definitely get the bike. One of my friend is assisting me with the deal. IF I get it I will be really lucky as the ride is in running condition and within stock status. The current user has not done any mods or upgrades. I just wish I can bring it to mint on the long run - gradually.
I just saw your bio and seems you enjoy cycling too ☺️ Road or MTB?
