I was told thaty EBC pads are not able to last long.. thus i change my pad back to stock. can anyone confirm the durability of ebc

 

Change to EBC bout 2 mths back.... actually prefered the Double h type, cos they last longer, bout sporting nvr bring it in, they only got the normal pads, will let u know when these pads worn out.

To all Gilera users,

 

I just bought a Runner VXR 200 '07 yesterday. Has been a bike I've been wanting since I don't know when. However, I've encountered some problems and I hope you folks could help me out with.

 

1) Some friends helped me test the front fork. They said that it's already too soft. How much does it cost to service the front fork and any specifications I should take note of?

 

2) The bigger problem is, today when I just got back from work and parking my bike, the engine oil lamp lit up. Does this mean that the EO is already low? If so, how long do I have before the EO really runs out and screw up my bike?

 

My friend told me that a reason could be that my engine overheat, therefore the engine oil lamp light up. This means that my coolant is low. Is this a possibility? I hope that you guys can give me some solutions as I don't want to let this problem be a disaster to my bike. =(

 

3) Small problem, the rear brake light does not light up when I apply my left brake lever (rear brake, right?) Is there a wiring problem or is it just the way it is?

 

I hope you folks could help me out as I'm really new to Gilera and have lots to learn. I really love my Runner and would be really heartbroken if it ends up in deep sh*t.

 

Thanks alot guys! Paiseh...

1)pricing wise im not so sure lah..soft suspension means good handling,but can be a bit tricky when negotiating corners..must go check with the mechanic @ future scootering or sunrise @ kallang..

 

2)as far as i know everytime before u start the ignition and after u switch off the engine,the EO indicator will always light up..did it light up when ur engine is still running?

 

3)either wiring problem or ur red bulb blown already..if ur tail light is LED,then must be wiring problem..otherwise try and change the bulb first..i got experience this problem before..

 

 

Hope that helps..and WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF GILERAS!!

bearings....1 on transmission cover, 1 in clutch assy, 1 in rear wheel, 2 in front wheel and 1 in gearbox(or is it 2, cant recall). speed bearings are for high speed usage. less friction, can withstand high rpm and the works...most shops carry these bearings. but at a price. but if u know wher to get them, u can get it at less then half the price. and these are SKF high speed bearings. u'll need the numbers on the bearings for the diff sizes....

[stitch.979]

Is the fork the normal fork? if it is, it can be serviced. If the shop/person swapped the forks for an inverted one.. you need to buy a new pair.

 

Did u check the oil lvl and coolant lvl when u took over the bike? get them checked ASAP. $ stroke engines from piaggio is known to "eat" engine oil..

 

The switch in the brake lever is probably corroded or dirty causing lousy contact. If u r lucky, it can be cleaned if not, just get it replaced.

i am using hi speed bearing for my transmission cover.. so far slightly smoother.. and not all bearings have the hi speed type as quoted from the bearing shop.. and usually hi speed ones are from SKF.. so be careful if the shop try to con u.. if im nt mistaken the transmission bearing is 6202.cost me $35 with installation.. from what i was told the rear wheel bearing doesnt have the hi speed version. dat the no is 6303 if im nt wrong.. if u wana get it urself, u can go auto machinery at rowell road and ask the uncle for the hi speed bearing for gilera runner.. he will take out a gilera parts manual and u have to point out to him which bearings u want it for..

[asyrann]

thanks a lot bro..

dont think its that big an issue to throttle a little when starting your bike. just be careful not to throttle too much though. might foul your spark plug.
