Hi mates, just got the bike yest. Mine's 1st hand. Heard some reviews that water can easily seep into the gas tank. Went to the Kallang scooter shops, the solution is a kinda ugly rubber fabric or leather patch covering the fuel pump inlet. Any other tips or advise on countering this? No nonsense responses please. Thanks.

[FinG]

every know it ugly.but if u dont put it u got to spend 3 hour in the shop paying like 50++ for washing tank,washing of carb,change fuel tube,filter for just a ugly...

choice is your bro,think about it

[ahboy535]

Hi I just bought a gilera vxr 200 2006 model and i want to do a D.I.Y spray painting of the bike but i do not know how to dismantle most of the fairing parts. can anyone give me some tips? I'm new. Plus, is it required to report to any authority regarding the change of colour of your bike?

This is easy....take a screw driver n some allen keys then start exploring.

 

I wonder who can explain in detail without pics how to dismantle the whole set of fairing parts in a forum

[Lemmot]

Hmmmmm...that's why. Maybe I shud post parts of the Gilera.

[FinG]

haha true true:)

 

anyway it easy to remove them if u rly look carefully.

[FinG]

maybe PM me your HP number,i will give u a hand when i free .

[eFzek17]

buy those from future. the square leather ones. cheap also. dun buy the round one, still can seep through.

 

or u buy the plastic ones from sunrise but that one expensive.. not worth it.

[FinG]

future one is more better due to the way it can potect more.

Modify the fuel tank cap!

ya... done the above mod mention by satgi.... so far never kena water inside tank even though raining season recently

[s15_sylvia]

Thanks mates for your comments.

 

Satgi have anoher query, will water seep in thru the part I highlighted in yellow? (Refer to pic)

 

On another issue, by changing to either Leo Vince or other aftermarket pipes, how's the response like for low, mid and high end? How's the feel? Right now I'm quite happy with the mid and high, but low end, esp from moving off, a bit sluggish. Which pipes can give more low end, make it more torquey, without compromising mid to high?

 

I'm on bone stock. still running in. Anyway, I'm doing a hard run in, speed at ard 110, rpm ard 7-8 max with hard acceleration and braking. Any adverse effects form this? Hope not. Ha ha.

 

How's the FC after changing to after market? I'm doing ard 28km/litre right now. Which is quite good comparing to my previous ride. Ha ha. But I've heard of the same model getting 30km/l. Just curious.

[fcsega]

the fuel gauge on the meter include reserve fuel? roughly can travel how much more with reserve?

There is no way water can get into the fuel tank from the yellow part u highlighted.

u will have better moving off but mid and high end not much effected.

[s15_sylvia]

[dyno_88]
