[Group] Singapore BAJAJ Team (SBT)

[Santamalia]

Ahhh man, i think i'm not free for the btmo. Already made plans. Thanks for inviting anw! Will try to pop by if i can.. btw i just installed my crash bar. Wohoo!

[glzco]

Thks for the advise. Currently fitted with fresh tyres after gotten the bike from private. Realise when i clutch in 1st gear with main stand, the rear tyre continue to turn. Not too sure izzit due to clutch housing wear and tear that cause the whirring sound at 5th gear. If it's due to gear box then die liao.. haha.. Haben had chance to go bike shop lately. Haiz.. But then, 800 bucks for overhaulling is way too much for small bike. What did u do then? What are the symptom before overhaulling?

 

clutch in first gear.. ur rear wheel will of cuz turn.. connected to engine n engine running ma.. ha.. u go higher gear the wheel will turn faster also.. haha.. but as for ur whirring sound.. u can listen to gaban and go UM check.. our bike no doubt overhaul is expensive but its good for ur long run..

[satish_85]

btw i got 4 diaphragms still hanging in my rm. anyone wants them?

$12 a pc. i brought in 5 @ S$69 after conversion. keeping 1 for myself so other 4 pcs letting go.

 

Have seem this diaphragm word appearing many time here. May i know what is it used for? How do i know it time to replace?

[Orleng]

diaphragm is found in your carb. it's attached the needle used to control flow out of the mainjet. works by moving up and down depending on the pressure difference caused by increase/decrease in airflow controlled via the throttle plate.

 

diaphragm can develop holes over time due to wear and tear and degradation. normally needs replacing when you find that you open your throtle to wide open throttle and the bike doesn't seem to respond or accelerates very sluggishly past a certain point. rpm doesn't rise as well. there can be other reasons as to why that happens, from dirty carb causing parts to jam/stick. clutch plate worn, but can tell cuz the RPM is going up but bike is maintaining speed.

 

in other words, can be a variety of problems. biggest telltale, like above, is whack open throttle, no or low response. low or no RPM increase.

 

*Disclaimer, information is my personal knowledge, anyone have different ideas regarding the symptoms, please do add on.*

 

edit: btw, lindavw's price is way lower than UM. Good to get if you wanna play safe. Buy and then ask UM to wash carb for you, then just replace the diaphragm at the same time.

aint washing the carb = top overhaul?

[Orleng]

no, washing the carb is a simple procedure. the carb is outside of the engine casing. between the airbox and the engine casing. the funny looking thing with a semi-circle bottom. mech will just take it out, open, remove the parts, wash and clean with petrol then reassemble. have to do once in a very long while because petrol can leave behind a varnish.

overhaul or top overhaul req u to leave ur bike at UM(recomended). i not sure abt d labor costs. be sure to have enough cash cos its gona cost u alot.

[speedaddict]

anyone knows where to change the color of the transparent part of the head?

[arthur_chan]

anyone knows where to change the color of the transparent part of the head?

 

u mean the 2 pilot light or the plastic covering the pilot n main light?

 

if it's pilot light, need to disassemble the whole head and chg the bulb.

 

if the plastic cover, it's glued to the whole head. if u really want to chg, just stick some color plastic sheet over. but be warned, u sure get summon if spotted by tp.

[arthur_chan]

diaphragm can develop holes over time due to wear and tear and degradation.

 

i didnt know they can develop holes

usually lost of power is due to the rubber expanded. higher octane of fuel cause the expand faster. usually when it has expanded, it's time to change. but if it's holes, i dont know what will be consequence, fuel will be leaking thru, perhaps causing major damage.

est close to $1k or over. takes about 1/2 day to do, unless u got a lot of free time to hang around there and pester the mechanic.

Bajaj Team Monthly Outing (BTMO) April 2010

 

Our BTMO is here ! More details to come soon, just check if you can be available on this date to join us !

 

 

Date: Saturday 17 April 2010

Location: To be confirmed

Time: 7pm 'till late in the night or whichever time you need to go back

 

 

Agenda:

Touring around Singapore (Itinerary to be published soon), with diner and drinks stops along the way

At the end of the trip, we'll sit in a nice location to have kopi and discuss our beloved bikes, time for the newbies to ask all their questions and for the veterans to answer them

 

 

 

Who is this BTMO for ?

 

If you ride a Pulsar: it's for you !

If you don't have a Pulsar yet : It's for you too, just ask on the forum and someone will be happy to pillion you so you can get a closer look and feel of the bike. (If you have your license and want to try the bike, someone might even let you try their bike)(but not me because if you hurt it I'll have to kill you and dump your body in Rochor Canal)

If you have another type of bike: You're welcome too, we're riders first so we'd be happy to welcome you if you want to feel the late night breeze while riding with our brother(hem sister)hood !

y my name inside? i got no bike

the address: Stadium Crescent-.KFC (B80189)

log on to http://www.streetdirectory.com and put the address above n plan ur route. i can't post the direct map cos it might be violation.

[arthur_chan]

oren. the pedal u can adjust it to ur liking. or tighten the brakes-no tools needed trust me hahahahaha.

 

no tools lindav? i really like to see u do that with ur bare hands.

[Orleng]

yep, it can, due to various reasons, including careless replacement of the carb cover, and pinching the rubber. if there are holes, no harm done, mainly no response. the diaphragm just seperates a low and high pressure area.

 

http://www.bikerenews.com/Stories_Archives/Carburetors.html

look at CV carb.

 

low pressure above it causes it to pull on the slide and needle.

 

so if got holes, airflow will equalise at a certain pressure, then you'll find that the slide won't rise any further. therefore, constant rpm no matter how much further you try to open the throttle.

hole in diaphragm

[eric07]

Maybe this issue has been posted before. Just to clarify. What is the red LED consistently light up means ? My petrol still half tank and engine just changed. Any advise. thks a million..

[speedaddict]

plastic cover is glued? I tot its screwed.. Its illegal to change color? Didnt know..

u mean the 2 pilot light or the plastic covering the pilot n main light?

 

if it's pilot light, need to disassemble the whole head and chg the bulb.

 

if the plastic cover, it's glued to the whole head. if u really want to chg, just stick some color plastic sheet over. but be warned, u sure get summon if spotted by tp.

red led?

at the tacho meter there?

[Gennosukes]

any pulsarian stay ard in bishan/tpy/amk wanna come out for a short coffee or supper ?

[lindavw]

tightening the brakes need no tools i always do that hahahaha.

[SC Gaban]

est close to $1k or over. takes about 1/2 day to do, unless u got a lot of free time to hang around there and pester the mechanic.

 

best 2 leave ur bike der for 2-3 days or more so d workmanship would be better. dat time it took me a week to overhaul mine. i told d mech to take his time. wen i got my bike back, i tested it n felt sooo happy i danced around like a monkey. well, i lied abt d dancing part. :angel:

[falxleo]

any pulsarian stay ard in bishan/tpy/amk wanna come out for a short coffee or supper ?

 

me lor. i stay in tpy. haha

[Uknight]

Thanks everyone for adding comments for the BTMO, I went with your suggestions and updated the timing.

MJ I agree the route you suggested is nice

 

...

...

...

 

I'm also worried that my rear break isn't really powerful enough, is that normal ? I think it was responding much better before, now I press down the brake with my foot all the way, 1st gear and I can still move - I noticed it today, only once so I'm not really sure.. Maybe I'm just being paranoiac over little things !

 

As they have all mentioned you can tighten your rear brake easily. Do test it after tightening in the car park. Do note that having a pillion and without a pillion affects the rear brake. I once tightened to a point where it's ultra sensitive and works nicely when I rode on it. Once I pillioned my dad (my weight or more, should be more ) the whole bike went on a permanent braking mode, the rear brake was engaged slightly all the time.

 

So check the rear brake with a pillion on if you're going to make it very sensitive (and if you're going to be having a pillion).

 

 

For overhaul usually it's part of the engine process right? That means replacing the entire 'heart' or partial of it, top block or whatever... Not sure what it means but basically the bike is almost as good as new since the 'heart' is brand new, is that correct?

[speedaddict]

now i finally realise that something is wrong with my meter..

 

3 days after I changed engine oil the mileage reached 1.5k already. Thats too fast..

 

Tried to calculate just now. From Bedok to Pasir Ris i travelled 106km..

 

 

Like that servicing how much??
