Anyway wants to exchange Rectifier with my SKIPPER plus cash top-up.

 

Currently my Skipper is using a Ducati rectifier, 200amp current.

[bslong76]

need some help here......

 

my skipper die on me while travelling full throttle at about 100km/h, seems like something is burning, found a fuse badly burnt, change the fuse. But the bike still cannot start although can still heard cranking sound.

 

Is is the magnetic coil burnt? or just the sparkplug foul? piston jam?

 

Any other solutions???

 

[Guest xue]

prolly piston jam ..

 

cannot start might be spark plug wore off le..

 

yet again, stil got other possibilities..

[myusha]

K thanks.....

for the skipper maintainance

 

1.) You only need to top up 2t.

2.) Open up ur air filter and wash ur filter every three mths

3.) Change ur spark plug every six mths

4.) Change your belt every 7000Km ~ 10000 km ( depending on quality)

5.) Change ur battery every 6 mths ( I estimate battery last ard that period )

 

 

no. 1 i noe...the rest i all dunno

if ur skipper got put sound system, then better change the rectifier to a higher amp. If not original rectifier always burn.

[myusha]

WhiteOryx, which shop would u recommend if i wanna get a new color for my skipper? And how much would dat be?

[kilkenny]

one fine day, my lights just wldnt work. low beam and high beam, all bulbs dun work, indicator for lights and high beam on the speedo did not work too.

 

everything else worked, bike started.

 

Found out that a fuse had blown, the 10A chip in the glove compartment. changed that. the smaller bulb now works. But the big bulb still doesnt work. Both lights and high beam indicators still dunt light up.

 

Wat's ur guess guys? i checked the bulb liao, looks ok, but then again ultimax spotted the blown fuse for me... lol

 

think i shd try changing the main bulb first? where and how much? thinking of just changing the bulb myself first.

i think ur problem was the same as mine.. when i first get my bike the same thing happened.. i changed my relay, 2 switch and a bulb... everything for 60 bucks at wonderful motor...

[kilkenny]

found out that the "circuit board" below the speedo is damaged, hence the indicators dun light up. sumhow we rearranged the stuff , now the lights work but indicators for lights and high beam dun work. need a new circuitboard... sigh

 

any idea where and how much? anyone got spare? heh? junkyard to reccomend?

[WhiteOryx]

Hehehe, been missing for some time, anyway i got my old speedo meter if anybody wants it??

 

And regarding the paint job, i sent mine to taihin for the painting, and they actually send it to a paint shop just near it. The paint work is quite good, but rite now dirty liao cause i got no time to wash it hehehe.... can?? BTW, i just learn that white bulb is no good for skipper... they can burn ur "reflector".....

[WhiteOryx]

Hey! thats the pic that i draw! U r lucky that i neva use copyrights! lolx! Anyway, wat happened to Myusha's bike?

[WhiteOryx]

hello?

[myusha]

my 2pid bike is giving me lots of problem beside the carburator and the air filter problem i think.....

[WhiteOryx]

Wah so sad, i pity her... i know how it feels when ur bike broke down and you dunno wat to do.... so myusha, have you gone to the workshop to have it looked at? I think its safer that way... my bike also giving a bit of problem liao...

Hey, rae07 if you read up this whole thread, you would be abe to find the maintanence procedures esp by bro rol13

 

1)As stated by rol13

2)Thats my pic, he borrowed one hehehe

3)Sometimes hard to startup, depends on how good the

previous owner jaga the bike

4) so far i top up arnd twice a week at arnd $8. i live in bedok, my workplace is in alexandra

5)yah, can store helmets and also put other stuffs.. hehehe very useful

 

N lastly, if you do wan to get the bike, go get it! its a useful and economical bike (cost around 1000 at most) but be prepared to fork up a sum for the initial repairs and after that, it should be free and easy..... like my bike

TO be honest, nothing I think. Wash your bike, that's abt it.

 

2) i saw in the pic by rol13 tt the air filter has a foam tt u wash...so tt's the way to clean the airfilter? and how often u change it? how much? (btw..great pic for beginners)

 

Airfilter's abt $20-25. You only change it if the foam has deteriorated. Otherwise, you just wash it with mama lemon and warm water.

 

3) any know prob or bug tt the bike has? (hope it's not like hexagon which most motordiam condemn.)

 

It's made of plastic that doesn't age very well ie. plastic cracks easily especially after years of exposure to tropical weather.

 

I personally think that your relationship with any bike is heng-suay. If you're lucky, even a bike everyone says is bad will serve you well. If you're suay, even the most reliable of bikes will seemingly break-down on you regularly.

 

If you don't mind riding a scooter, don't think so much, get a skipper. Best bang for the buck haha.

 

4) fuel consumption? ($/litre)

 

Depends on how the bike's tuned. Anywhere between 18km/l to 30km/l.

 

5) seat can be opened to store helmet like runner?

 

Yes, even a full-face (my HJC symax flip-up)
