Where is blk 360? Maybe it's jasmine?

[syarif]

so what am i suppose to do now? overhaul the whole thing? omg..

[amgm125]

It could either be piston ring loose or a loose conrod. Well, in the past my mito's piston produced a very 'sandy' sound and there's an obvious lose of power. Turns out to be a very loose and worn piston ring. I changed a new piston straight away instead of continue riding risking a piston jam.

 

For your case i think change piston can already, overhaul the top area only if the piston causes damage to the surroundings. I suggest you to stop redlining the bike at the moment now.

engine bottom end bearing is which part to be detail? im not such bout its part actually. its used for? for sure mine is a goner by now. fm plate.

It's at the part where the clutch plates are.. It comes in set plus oil seal. Total 7 bearings.. Koyo bearings, made in Japan..

 

Anymore buyers? 3 spoke rims, rider seat, sub fairings...

[syarif]

ouhkie. so if i change the piston must run-in right? so how much does it cost? but does new piston and old block works together?

 

 

i'm gg service my valve, carb and block at FM. someone quote me $55. is it true?

basically there is 6 gears total for the new version but the old ones you can kick till the 7th gear. but IMO, these gears (6th or 7th) is mainly use for cruising ie you wanna maintain the speed you're travelling.

guys. my bike, sumtyms when i drag to the redline, the rpm suddenly drop and there's this sort of engine braking. the sound also like engine braking. is that a power cut thingy or sumthing? if it is, any possible ways of taking it off?

if ur piston had indeed seized, u cant even start and move off ur bike now ma.

 

maybe u can take out the plug and see if there's any abnormal signs of ash or powdered metal. they might tell u abit more of the engine's condition.

 

if u meant whenever u hit the redline, and the rpm sudden drops, might meant the main jet being too big(engine fouling) or too small(not enough fuel). or some internal carb problems like the float height being set too low and not able to supply the fuel needed at wot.

 

if ur piston/ring is worn and need replacing, u juz need to replace a new piston, and top gaskets. $200-$300 for the piston, $100-$200 for the labour and gaskets?

 

normally general servicing meant flushing and changing the coolant, washing the carb, clear off the carbon from the exhaust valve. top end servicing involved in taking out and cleaning the top block and the piston.

 

as suggested by ben, do not try again and again to redline if ur bike show signs of distress. had it checked out by reputable lbs be4 turning out to be a hole burnt in ur pocket!

 

powercut only applies to 4t bikes. maybe 2t bikes have an not-so-efficient stock ecu, but the main restrictions are in the exhaust system, fins to slow down the gases from escaping too fast, since the 2t engine drew a significant amount of power from the expansion chamber, aka stomach. it's actually a very primitive form of forced induction, like a turbo charger!

to me any tyres which is good enuff to grip is okie.

 

 

 

$$ for battlax rear tyres?

[haowei]

wad is pilot power? can tell mi more thanks... haha mi veri noob on cagiva..

[syarif]

there are lotsa brands and model of the tyres andevery single one of them are diff and special. like u might be using battlax, other mito riders might be using dunlop gpr70, while other prefer pilot power. its up to the rider to decide. if they organise outing, must go. the rest of the mito riders are all extremely knowledgeable in this.

 

 

 

and GUYS I NEED HELP.

 

today went jb. going back home, i was caught by NEA for emmiting excessive smoke. and my smoke not that much also. i mean don't they understand 2strokes sure got lots of smoke? and may i know this kinda thing can appeal? they issue me fine *$70* orredy... my monthly pay doesnt even reach 300bucks,sometimes not even 250bucks. and now i needa pay fine. and this is my VERY FIRST FINE.

 

and if appealing is not possible, how to make less smoke? 2t pump change? scared piston jam siaa..

 

 

 

thanks!

[jonathan543]

most prob ur 2t pump is being set too much. under normal conditions, ur bike should not have smoke in the exhaust after it had warmed up.

fears of piston seizure and having u setting the 2t pump too much is incorrect! too much 2t intake will make the mixture leaner, therefore leading the engine to run hotter(overheating).

overheating and insufficient warming up, intime will lead to piston seizure. also refrain from using engine brake(close throttle to close down). using engine brake at big throttle openings is asking for trouble since the amount of 2t and fuel mixture needed to take the excess heat away is suddenly cut off.

from wad i heard, the proper way to determine if ur 2t intake is sufficient, is to look at the plug. the round base of it should be slightly damp, not totally dry(too little 2t) or moist/dripping(too much 2t).

the exhaust pipe should not be dripping black fluid too. when u use ur finger to touch the pipe, the carbon should come off as packed dry(not powder dry), or slightly damp.

on the above conditions i wot from gp esso to perling/kulai @2nd link almost every weekend for the last few months wit no problems encountered.

 

hao wei- italian bikes have pretty much the same in maintainance as other thai 2b bikes. but u gotta fork out more for better quality oils since the price of replacing the parts are not cheap, and might put u on a waiting list for a couple of weeks. and since it's electric started, u gotta jet the carb correctly and have a healthy batt/ charging system to have trouble free start ups.

read up on the older posts on mito/aprilia thread, or even better, the aprilia rider's club forum.(arc)

the technical section is filled wit technical goodies and explained myths. post a question there and you will be addressed by some of the most knowledgable bikers ard!

juz go to aprilia forum, and see if there's any link to arc on the pics or siggs.

1.5yrs and even after getting my cl2a, i still find my planet juz as reliable and fast as other overrated thai 2b bikes ard. only problem is my extremely heavy fuel consumption(13km/l), which i think might due to a worn out needle jet.

ben aka amgm125, whom had been pillioning his gf to and fro jurong and bedok every weekend and as a daily transportation bike, will agree too. his mito had an extremely gd fc compared to mine, sad to say...

treat ur italian bike wit affection and concern, she will not disappoint u!

battlax bt090 grips better in the wet weather. gpr70 grips better in the dry but really slips in the wet. both are no longer in production le. from wad i heard, gpr alpha 10series(i'm using now) is the replacement for the gpr70.

battlax bt020, which is the 1st set of tires i replaces, lacks grip in the dry and wet. but the rubber wears really well and is in a higher profile, so not recommended for low corning.
