Its not hard actually,Just tat i`ve got a Remote start alarm system,Which i can`t fully utilize now.Its a waste,Plus most of the bro can solve this problem

so was jus wondering whats wrong with my bike??

 

Anw u`ve got any suggestion?. . .

 

 

If changing CDI doesn`t help,Then i think my mech is scamming mi. . hahas. .

By right is normal like what most shops are saying,but if some senior bros here can jus start their bike without throttling means the bike is tuneable. . then by left its not normal. . ^^

[alienalien]

Anw whats our filter like???rounded ones or those flat ones??Which brand is the best??

WELCOME TO DA BROTHERHOOD OF ST(d)s!!!

 

Running IN

 

Ride bike in between 60-70km/hr for first 100KM. accelerate gently. PLS play ard in dat range. eg. start at 60 gradually go up to 70 within the 100km (60-63-61-65-64-68-62-70-67) Never accelerate above 7K rpm n PLS check EO n coolant level.

 

Next 400KM ride in between 70-80km/hr. Same thing but take ur time reaching 80km/hr. Ride more constantly at 70km/hr. Ocassionally every now n then go up a little den down again. eg. hit 80km/hr only after 300km, first 200km play with 70-72-70-70-70-75-70-70-70-73-70-70-70-70. Becareful of ur throttle as u'll tend to go over 7K rpm. Familiarise with ur throttle n u'll notice ur rpm will drop a little b4 7K but still maintaining the same speed.

 

500KM Change EO. cheaper ones r ok but if u got cash to spare get EX one. Purpose is to get rid of any minute metal particles or unwanted foreign substances that might have gotten in ur engine during assembly.

 

500-1000KM Here is where u can go a wee bit faster. Unfortunately at this stage the only maximum speed without going over the 7K rpm is 90+km/hr slightly below 100km/hr. though u can still get 100km/hr below 7K rpm depending on ur timing n setting but thats not important YET. Same thing start of at 70+km/hr slowly making ur way up to 80km/hr. ard 600km ur constant speed now shud be 80km/hr. den same ol thing..slowly make ur way up to 90km/hr. By 800km ur constant speed now shud be 90km/hr. So the last 200Km u just play ard with all the ranges u've covered, from 60+km/hr all the way to 90km/hr. occasionally from 90km/hr again slowly go up to ur maximum speed below 7K rpm, shud be 90+km/hr to 100km/hr. Dun accelerate above 7K rpm just yet nor ride above 7K rpm.

 

1000KM Change EO. Change Oil Filter. Re-tune ur carb. Do all that at piaggio agent. So any thing wrong with ur bike they'll check n rectify for u. Thats wat warranties r for! Oh preferably from now on use fully synthetic 5w40 EO. Can bring urself to the agent so they wont charge u for that. that means go outside buy! STOP! dun think u can whack just yet!!! Over the next few days, since ur constant is now 90km/hr slowly ride to 100km/hr...den to 110km/hr so on n so forth as fast as ur bike can go. U dun wanna give ur engine the shock of going 140km/hr str8 away! Going above 7K rpm just ease on ur throttle dun whack...gently go up ur rpms.

 

Every 1 month change EO.

Every 3 month change oil filter and plug. If got money roller also.

Every 6 month wash ur air filter. If no money change ur roller now. Check ur back tyre, most likely becoming botak already.

Every year flush ur radiator n change coolant. Brakepads also gone by this time i reckon. Want to service carb also go ahead.

Every 15000KM change belt or whenever u feel da slack.

 

After this if ur bike breaks down due to to maintenance reasons for the next 10 years, i quit riding! Water pump, battery flat, tyre puncture, CDI, coil, starter motor, exhaust fall off, all not included!!!! Wakakaka!!

 

Gd Luck with ur new bike...n have fun riding ST(d)!

 

Cheers!!!!

Suede bro,

my dad said like dat also. No need la can last very long time. HAHAHA!!!~~~ But in practice, usually yearly la. I used engine ice coolant, the mech stated that u either change yearly or 2 year once. Up to u la bro which one u wan to follow. Got money do it yearly once. If a bit tight maybe go for once per 2 years? Up to individual.

 

take note to check the coolant reservoir to ensure it does not drop below minimum level ok?

[Mr.arus]

ok can, wow ur help is really appreciate.. thanks..

[Suede]

Hope u know where to check the level of coolant. ITs located at the front panel. U must take out the front panel and u will saw the coolant reservoir which indicate the max and min level. No problem if i knw i tell u if i dun knw i blur blur la hahaha....

ko pun pergi ke botak......tak pernah nampak moto ko kat sane pun.

Does ur bike have this jerky move, when u throttle? i juz change my rollers n clips, but a week later same prob arise again....... thinking of upgrading the variator and clutch at the same time

Errrm so far tak ada jerky move since my last full service by botak. Ohhh coz i go and see botak early in the morning usually his first or 2nd customer. Funny old chap la dia.. He always scold me lau tukar tanpa sebab and waste money. Anyway itz true la bak kata this idiom "If it ain't broken,dun fix it." LOL!!! Got once i change pipe to SBK at tai hin and gi tukar minyak kat botak. Baru sampai kena marah. Dia kata "asal tak mintak gua gi anu kan beli pipe baru leh dapat murah. Lu tak mau 50 lu kasi gua." He meant that i bought the pipe 800 whereas he can get cheaper for 750. haha but anyway he's a nice guy very funny LOL!!!
