[Kaizer]

yupz~ sure is interesting~

reasons why so many things need to rplace becoz pevious two owners neva take care well~ Still can last until now~ Better do some maintenace!

1)Spark plug, battery, NGK or Denso

2)gearbox oil, engine oil Rockoil, Motul

3)clean air & oil filter,

4)clean carb and adjust, I got a place where you can do it cheaper.

5)clean exhaust, I got a place where you can do it cheaper.

6)(where to find power valve, steering cone bearing, steering head bearings), I got a place where you can do it cheaper.

7)clean & polish block, head & piston, I got a place where you can do it cheaper.

8)change brake pads, brake fluid

9)run thru all bolts and nuts and thighten,

10)clean wheel hub bearings, I got a place where you can do it cheaper.

11)change fork oil, I got a place where you can do it cheaper.

12)change sprockets and chain~ I got a place where you can do it cheaper.

13)change my starter motor and coil,

14)replace spoilt gauges

15)replace all cables

16)maybe tyres~

17)maybe clutch plates

18)maybe light bulbs

 

Such a long list ah! The bike can run when i change starter motor~

Most of the things are major maintenace items due after 16000km mileage~

For those in red, I believe that I can get the cheapest one lah, or at least, that's the best that I could do.

hi guys... finally hab time to log in sgbike forum n chat...

welll basically sat i take my bike everything was fine n cool..

but i got several queries abt the bike

 

1) why does the idling rpm become different when the bike is sideway...

2) why does switchin on the light affect the idling rpm

3) how u all ride ur mito.. 1st - 2nd gear drag to 7-9 rpm then the rest of the gear maintain below 7... will tis spoil the bike ?

 

4) are ur rear brake hard to engage...

5) the choke ah.. which direction is open n which direction is closed ?

6) does ur tube inside leak ? example petrol to carbonator ?

Waaahhh!! Bruddah, we all welcome you as one of us, the Myth Riders!! (Mythical Riders also sounds nice.) I'm sure you'd enjoy the fine qualities of your newly found beloved and have endless hours of fun on it, no doubt! Treat it good and it will treat you good! Give it good nutrition, and it will not fail you! Listen to it, feel it, and it will bring you to places you wouldn't have dared to go before!

 

:D

 

Okay enough with the theatrics.

 

1) Mine doesn't do that.

2) Mine doesn't do that.

3) Simple rule of thumb, warm up the engine before riding. Should be at least 42d celsius. If really no time to warm up, i usually ride at max 4-5K through the gears until the temperature goes up, and then I resume, but I always blow-blow first before I engage clutch and ride harder. I also periodically keep on blow-blow while riding until I think that the engine feels hot/smooth enough. (IMO, I think it's better to stress the engine freely rather than stress it with load i.e. gear engaged.)

4) Eh choke don't play play know! Towards the front is choke off, towards the tail end is choke ON. I read that there is no faster way to destroy your piston/cylinder than running the engine with the choke on, coz with the choke on, not only is it combustion, it's called detonation, too powerful explosion to get the motor starting. So if you have to use choke, just use it for that one second or so when starting the bike, after that off it and maintain throttle if need to.

6) Go tell 1st Motor to fix it. You bought the bike from them, can ask them to fix anything wrong for free I think.

 

Eh what colour? What plate and number? How much? Any problems?

[moon_zai]

prob ah.. got ah.. the tube loose ah.. petrol leakin... then today bike die on me ah.. for more information scroll up to my previous post !! so sad now.....

[Kaizer]

 

 

yah loh haha maybe if go pose then think we all will win haha

 

maybe meet some place pose haha

 

all also poseur

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Kaizer]

prob ah.. got ah.. the tube loose ah.. petrol leakin... then today bike die on me ah.. for more information scroll up to my previous post !! so sad now..... :weep:

Wah lan duey, confirm not enough petrol being fed to your engine lah...

 

How sure are you that it's the tube running from the tank to the carb? If you are very sure, you should be thankful lah, replace tube only, not so bad mah.. But IF something wrong with your carb, or if the combustion is off-sync or something, ah, den you ahve to worry.

 

So tell us, if it's really the petrol-to-carb tube, we probably can help you get a new one and go to your place and fix together, I think.

 

Anwyay, you did mention that it was loose? If liddat, even easier! Just tighten loh!! You live where? I lunch break at 1230 to 1400 and my workplace is at near Tan Tock Seng, maybe can go meet you for a little bit? Just msg me lah!

 

Otherwise, ask uncle to tow your bike and fix the screw-up for free.

hm... how do i noe is the carb or combustion is off sync ??? really no idea man !!

[moon_zai]

and also which direction of the choke is open ?? toward the front or toward the back ?

[Kaizer]

and also which direction of the choke is open ?? toward the front or toward the back ?

For normal operation choke lever should face towards the head.

 

To turn the choke ON, pull the lever backwards, towards the tail-end of the bike.

 

Is that clear enough for you?

 

Anyway, how did you come to the conclusion that it might be your petrol tube in the first place? Don't etll me you just blindly guess lah..

 

What you can do is, uhm, open the latch of the tank, hook the tank-stand, take a good look at the petrol tube (BOTH connections) with a good light (torchlight). Any problems?

 

Start the engine, and keep looking at the petrol tube, again at BOTH connections. Any leak?

 

Rev a little, observe. Nothing? Rev hard. Nothing? Keep looking.

 

Turn off engine. Rev a little, multiple times. Any leak anywhere?

 

With the engine still off, rev hard, multiple times. Any leak?

 

If you can't notice anything wrong at all on the exterior, then it's (touch wood) some problem inside.

 

TIP #1

 

One funny incident, it was the first day I bought the bike I think. Met my gf at her block, showed her the bike, etc etc. Started the engine, rode off, and within 30 seconds, the engine died. Tried to start, but cannot, until battery died. Tried to push start, 150m run with 130kg bike. Panting. Sweating. Cursing. Embarrassed. Pissed off.

 

Finally found out that I had turned my Petrol Knob to OFF before I got off the bike to meet my gf. :D

 

Push start the bike with petrol-knob to ON, and rode off, laughing the whole day for being such an idiot.

 

Here's another story:

 

TIP #2

 

Maybe your carburettor overflowed in the first place. Happened to me, served me a good lesson. (Haha I had to push start the bike and ran the whole length of my 150m carpark every damned morning pushing a 130kg bike for a whole damned week!!!!)

 

Moral of the story? Please please please, at the end of the day, when you wanna go sleep already, turn your petrol knob to OFF.

 

TIP #3

 

So, IF indeed your carburettor has overflown (which is unlikely in your case, coz the engine's been running..), get ready for a nice exercise:

 

The mito does not have a kickstarter, so you have a problem on your hands if it overflows. What you gotta do is this. Switch the bike on. Kick to second gear. Let go the clutch. Push the bike around (with the gear ENGAGED!) like an idiot for about a minute or two.

 

Hopefully, before you die of exhaustion, the carburettor has cleared, and you can try starting your engine like normal.

 

(I donno if it's better to push using gear one, two or three..)

 

(You can also crank the ignition for a minute or so, but you risk draining the battery.)

 

TIP #4

 

If the bike refuses to start after two to three seconds cranking the electric starter, DON'T CONTINUE PRESSING THE IGNITION BUTTON! You'll just drain the battery till it dies and finally gotta push start. What you should do, however, is to use the choke. Don't be scared to use the choke. I use the choke every damned morning. (But remember, choke should be on for only one second or so.)

 

TIP #5

And then, there's another funny story I wanna tell you all!

 

1200, just check-out from chalet with gf, very tired, very hungry, sleepy and lazy, just wanna ride and get some fresh wind.

 

Went to bike, cranked the ignition. Mue-hehk-hehk-hehk-hehk.....Mue-hehk-hehk-hehk-hehk.....Mue-hehk-hehk-hehk-hehk.....Muueehk~~.....Muueehk~~.....

 

Alamak, won't start! Battery die! AAHH!

 

Girlfriend grumbling.

 

Push start, push start, run, panting, sweating, cursing, uweeek...

 

Won't start!

 

Girlfriend grumbling.

 

~~~GRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMM.............~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (sound of thunder)

 

Heh, it started to rain cats and dogs.

 

Push into shelter, tried to change spark plug. Hurt my hand coz it slipped. Finally got to change spark plug. Push start in the rain.

 

Won't start.

 

 

Went to nearby coffee shop to rest while I try to resolve the situation.

 

Just remembered that I left my pouch at the carpark when I push start, before rain started. Went to look for it, not there! Missing! AAAAHHHH!!!! kana rob!! KNNCCB!!!!!!!!

 

 

Went to coffeeshop without my pouch.

 

In the middle of our discussion, Gf said: "Maybe the morning cold, so engine cannot start?"

 

Oh, yah hor! Why I didn't think of that?

 

So, by the time we finished our breakfast, the rain died down already.

 

I got a big headache. Why? Coz my battery die, how to turn on choke and start? (My choke got spring one, won't stay in ON position!!) How to push start with one hand holding the choke?!?

 

Whack my brain with this question, tried to jam the choke lever with leaves lah, coins lah, what lah. Cannot. Hahahaha.. NBCB....

 

Finally I got a break. I found this old rag/cloth which was long enough, so I tied it to my choke lever and to the foot peg, push started, and "Weng ngeng ngeng ngeng ngeng ngeng ngeng!!!"

 

Cheng Gong lah!!!

 

Moral of the story?

 

Since then, I keep a long string in my compartment so that I can tie down my choke lever again should I need to do it again (and it happened again a few times before I fixed up my bike, so lucky me!)

 

Haha, so, that's my story. Sorry for rambling.

[moon_zai]
