Waaaaa got new mito rider siaaa...

 

 

Excel, hmm, I give them a thumbs down.

 

About your bike's problem, hmm, goto a bikeshop you like, and ask them to try the voltmeter on your bike. They will attach the voltmeter to your battery's terminals, run the engine and rev it, increasing rpm slowly.

 

Numbers should be at least 12V when idling, and should climb higher and higher once the revs are in. At 6000RPM it should already be about 13V-15V. That means your coil is okay, and I don't know what else could be wrong with your battery other than it's got black magic curse or something. hehe.

 

You should also refrain from using full-lights in the day, just use park-lights. Otherwise, make sure you rev-high often (at least 6000RPM).

 

That really goes without saying, coz you need to rev above 8000RPM often to keep a Mito happy and healthy.

 

There's a lot of info in this whole thread, dig 'em up!

 

Otherwise, welcome to the SBF Mito Riders Group!

The excel mechanic told me that the prob is in the coil leh, thus sucking dry the fully charged batt four days later. That means even when i'm not using the bike, the batt is running.. That's like running for 4 days straight until it's dryo_O Oh well I've just have to change the coil itself and see e results.

normally7 faulty rectifier will drain off the batt, and coil u check by revving the bike high and see if the batt got charge using a voltmeter.

 

how much u bought ur bike?

Hmm I don't have a voltmeter at home so i guess i gotta do all these at the workshop. Hmm never heard abt the mechanic toking abt a faulty rectifier? Or he don't even know cuz hes malaysian?. Anyway I bought my bike for ard 700

[StingRhea]

700 quite okie~ ppl always think the rectifier chatrges the batt~ but its the coil~ voltmeter? hmmz now i thinking if u wan to meet up den i do for u~

 

anyway also no diff lah~ i stay opp excel~

ok liao leh.. haha.. 500 for evything.. hmm.. bro ar.. im using a water batt.. u noe if mine can be charged ?? wat i mean is when i high rev this boy boy of mine.. will my batt get charged ??

i donno much about wet cells, but i do believe they operate on the same principles lah..

 

you never tried a voltmeter on it before meh?

 

anyway, wah, hmm, not bad at all, 500 for a second-hand block and new piston kit, not bad i guess. last i heard from a fellow mito owner, he kena 700+ at some other bike shop...

 

wahaha boboy got new heart already ah? careful ah boboy, don't run too fast yet, and don't be a slob either, okay? here's some semi-synthetic orange juice for you..

 

anyway my ger-ger is drinking grape juice now --> Fuchs Silkolene Comp 2 Plus (100% fully synthetic ester-based 2-stroke engine oil w/ Electrosyntec Technology) $25 @ Xtreme Motors.

 

So far so good, no worse than Rockoil, maybe a little better..?

 

Actually, you know what, F*CK ALL THE BRANDS MAN I CAN'T FEEL OR SEE A MOTHERF*CKING DIFFERENCE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT OILS!!!!!

 

 

After this one I think I'm switching back to Motul600. I've made up my mind. As long as it's Fully-Synthetic Ester-Based, it's good enough. And Motul's the cheapest one.

 

....

 

Sorry this 2T hunt is really eating into me..

Urr... can somebody refresh my memory what the coil is actually for in the first place? why would a coil be using electricity (sucking it out of battery) at all in the first place?

[StingRhea]

that day i saw u on the roads, u looked back at me, dangerous wor~ summore can engage clutch and rev on 1st lane~ can see u very happy chut chia liaoz~

Are you a cagiva internal expert? Its my first bike and i only know the very basic when i lift the fuel tank:giddy: I'm afraid that if i touch anything wrong it'll go wrong:giddy: Haha now bike flat batt cannot start..gotta push:sian:

Err I think the coil got something to do with the electric starteretc? Judging from the mechanic i think the coil's got some link to the batt, starter and the electric current.

no lah me not expert~ our bikes all are t he same, be it 5 or 7, starter motor, mag coil, rectifier, these 3 things can be quite problematic~ mag coil charge the bike, rectifier changes the current, but a weak rectifier can drain ur batt~ u wan mito 5 service manual? u got msn i send u~

Sure you can send me via msn at [email protected]. Thanks

[StingRhea]

sh*t cant email coz all files so big, can you wait till tue den i msn u in the evening? total got 12 PDF files of the workshop manual. Sections contain, General, Maintenance, Troubles & Remedies, Adjustments, General Operation, Engine disassembly, overhauling and reassembly, Suspensions & Wheels, Brakes, Electric System, Engine Cooling System, C.T.S Exhaust Valve, Specific Tools, Torque Wrench Settings & Analytical Index.

Thanks a lot:cheer:

[Oettinger]

Newbie to be bike owner tmr.... yay.........

 

Need ur opinions abt the best pple to service your mito.

 

Or best value for $$ service.

[StingRhea]

this is my bike's new owner~

bro.. so hows the feeling owning a mito..

[StingRhea]

his signal lights not working~ maybe fuse? or flasher relay lor~

[amgm125]

haha maybe the wires got prob? Or no batt like me?

[StingRhea]

u is not no batt~ just now help u check liaoz~ both rectifier and mag coil gone~

[Oettinger]

Bugger it man. Think I'll leave it for a while then get someone to service it. Very hard to find neutral, time to do oil change. Plus, the end can is really loud. Need earplugs next time

[StingRhea]

b4 stopping kick neutral~ its like that~ u can ask the rest~ sumore i change clutch plates liaoz~
