[monotone_03]

hey guys,

 

my bike battery isnt charging properly wats d problem?is it d batt or rectifier?

upon putting the ignition to ON - batt indicates 10-12V

aft 1st crank - 8V

aft 2nd crank - less den 6V

 

but every time after riding batt is abt 10-12V..

the batt only gets weaker when i crank..

[loyjwe]

all sis n bros out there? can help mi with a few questions?

 

1. is there anything like gear oil? or engine oil is the same as gear oil? is there anything for the gears?

 

2. when does the fan on? wat pros n cons it will have? will we know when it on?

 

3. wats the pros n cons of tonged pipe? will it affect FC? will more or less FC?

 

thanks so much.

wads ur volt reading when engine is running, on neutral, rev it? below 13.5v, better change batt.

erm, for s4, use eo will do. eo will lube all parts.

 

fan turns on when coolant hits a certain temp, can tell by look at the fan

 

tonged pipe, louder. becomes illegal. fc wise, slightly higher

alamak. just realise my bike comes with tonged bike bcoz of the screw rite? dunno go back the shop they can change anot. didnt realise tat in the beginning, when polishing the pipe then know. ........

[monotone_03]

neutral = volt reading is abt 10 - 12v..

reving = volt reading 12-14V..

Thkz bro..

first to go is usually the batt. mech will then use a new batt to test, if charging is still below 13.5v when rev, rectifier is the next to check. last to go is the coil.
