[Group] Yamaha FZ150I

[gkang]

from what i recall with our last time discussion abt PA auto or PA2, it is like a 2nd battery for your bike, allowing it to provide stable and constant power to your bike

 

so it should take a short while to charge, but should not take more than 2 days.. mine kicked in in less than 1 so i dun see how you think it should take so long..

 

are you experiencing a big difference in your engine braking?

 

compare it from stock to now.. there should be a huge change..

 

another significant change should by your gear 5... do you feel it able to pull u uphill with a lot less slowing down?

 

My engine braking have been greatly reduced as the torque has been higher. I hope everything will be ok after that.... hope my PA auto will be fully charged.

where can i service my fz150i other than yamaha service center

[bassdriver]

oh wow... how come suddenly so many new ppl posting here?

 

haha

 

welcome welcome

 

bassdriver: it was me that u saw opposite the road when u left HLC... sry.. wanted to catch u be4 u left there but woke up late. u posted 12 - 1, but i woke up at 1.. hahaha

 

next time meet ba...

 

gkang: pa advise ask Step_Kang he's the 1 with the extensive knowledge... dun worry abt the performance 1st.. the beauty of our bike is when you open till over 7K rpm... thats where our bike shines.. but for it to perform, u will experience higher FC.. equal and opposite trade off.. haha

 

Dag: i got the spirit jacket thanks to your recommendation... freaking thing is seriously meant for winter use lor!!!! got thermal lining and all!!! wah lao eh!!!! lucky can take out... but its actually ok to ride with even in this afternoon's scorching sun.. haha next time meet den show u...

 

anyway... better catch me soon cuz i'm gonna be changing really soon... swapping over to sports bike once the 1 i want is here.. so you'd all better grab my spares be4 i throw them all to the shop... no point keeping unused parts... waste space

 

so when u guys meeting up next? seems flint should be done with his hari raya fasting so he'll be back in action soon

 

cheers & ride safe

 

tot i saw a fz when leaving, so it was u..

anyway tks for coming ..maybe other time meet again:dot:

 

can recomend me a rain jacket plus also can ride in the sun

so no need to put diff jacket in our box.

and is it possible to put side box..and cost?

tks.

tks skg86 also for ur professional advice on our fz:P

[SKG_86]

Since u're using a v powerful bulb? did ur tachometer needle anyhow jump when idling and not moving?

 

 

BTW...for those who put power abuser, did ur bike top speed drop when u all 1st install it?

 

no.....no effect at all

i install power abuser(cheapest 1) ....top speed increased ..150kmh w/o pillion,144kmh w pillion...

[SKG_86]

tks skg86 also for ur professional advice on our fz:P

 

i'm not a pro...but i intend 2 help d others...i juz want consumers 2 satisfy w d product(our bike) ...i spend alot of time on d bike , so i know alot of things related 2 it

70% of my bike's mileage is on NSE...abt 2000km on mountaineous twisty roads (dat meant 4 drift) &only 15% of d mileage in spore...

My bike's running cost is abt only RM1.80 per 100km as i neva maintain in spore(except things dat r cheaper in spore)...almost 32K km &still strong like new or even better...reliable &gd fc bike

 

1000km running cost RM18 , fuel ron 95 =24ltrs / RM44.40 ... (i owez pump Ron 95 if outside JB)

 

2 know how 2 calculate running cost, i may share whn we meet...

where can i service my fz150i other than yamaha service center

 

Most of the 150i riders will go to HL cycle to service their bike. I only been there once. Quite impress by their service. So far its the best bike shop i visited. The atmosphere is also quite nice and relax unlike typical bikeshop where it is quite dark and gloomy.

 

no.....no effect at all

i install power abuser(cheapest 1) ....top speed increased ..150kmh w/o pillion,144kmh w pillion...

 

That is w/o box...... I still have prob accelerating to 120kmh..... unlike last time...

for bassdriver=datz norm on new bike...u'l experience d coolant level will go down vry fast...especially 4 d 1st 500km...u may do add w distilled water or any coolant...u hv 2 check d coolant level at d radiator often on 1st 1000km...cz sumtimes it'l drop vry fast...

 

fr both bassdriver&rompyin=how 2 open d side plastic cover beside d coolant?? may meet me or any 1 of us k...or go 2 workshop dat u trust...u'v 2 make sure dat coolant level is btwn low&high k...

 

did u undrstd malay?if yes, u may browse thru m'sian fz150i forum....technical issues discussed thr in vry detail info...&alot of forummer do give their opinion...dis forum is lack of informative precious info 4 our bike...

but u may benefit m'sian forum only if u undrstd malay lah...

 

thks 4 the tip. rode around quite a bit today (3hrs) cos have lots of errands to run. kept checking to make sure coolant level not below "re". know i am pushing my luck... will go get a bottle of coolant and try to top up myself asap.

u r experiencing wad i hav experienced before... problem came after 3 months, mine was new bike... according to the ex-mechanic at HLC, is the bike charging not fast enough to supply the bike... instead of change batt, he did some wiring work, like add two more wires to make the charging stronger... after tat, no more problem... even on signal light, high beam, on brake light, the headlight also won't flicker...

 

tat time sommetimes the tach needle will disco around 0 to 5k rpm, sometimes normal, but once i on high beam or on signal light, the disco begins. if its the same for u, u can go HLC find mec ah ler... tell him ur problem same as stepkang, last time ah lee connect 2 more wires make the charging faster, he shld know wad to do...

always got new riders riding this bike but never join us in our gang one... eh dun say i got extensive knowledge la... here got pro u know... me only know pi mao stuff... when u get ur r15 go put lv pipe ah... haha... eh can put to garage sales ma... can recover some money...

 

I installed auto. mine is now 80kmh at 6500rpm. I think i observed a while. Maybe such things need to season?

 

5 to 10 mins of engine running is enough to charge the pa2 or auto...

 

My engine braking have been greatly reduced as the torque has been higher. I hope everything will be ok after that.... hope my PA auto will be fully charged.

 

reduced engine braking is the most prominent effect pa has... diff bike has diff setup, even same model and make... but addtion of pa shouldn't make a bike worse, meaning shouldn't reduce ur top speed or make ur bike harder t accelerate... pls note, is compare before pa and after on ur bike, not comparing one bike to another, coz as said, diff bike, diff setup... if u feel top speed drop or anything worse, u can approach the boss of pa, alson from equipment extreme to troubleshoot or to get an explanation. my knowledge on pa is from him...

 

where can i service my fz150i other than yamaha service center

 

u can trust HLC, coz they handle and service our bikes very often, even other fz150i owners not on this forum, so they r quite familiar wif our bikes... for ur engine oil cap, u lost it, or still got it? if still can ride u can go hong leong yamaha to get it, top up with enigne oil and cap it back... alternatively u can go bike shop, they drain the remaining oil, get a new cap for u and top up frresh oil...

sis did u ride past yishun ave 2 around 9pm plus? i saw two pretty ladies on a red fz150i...

[STEP_KANG]

hmmm...if like dat,try 2 do tuning...mayB ur bike needs tuning..try go HLC, mayB thy can help u...or if d prob still nt solve,thn cum 2 Nilai( if u'r willing to ) 310km away frm spore...thr got a CERTIFIED FZ150i mechanic....he attended course by Yamaha Sdn Bhd on handling our bike..he's vry2 knowledgable abt our bike...

waaaa...is it ok if i wan 2 install xtra wires 2 make charging faster while my bike is ok??

cz i use 90/100watts headlight bulb...watz ur opinion?

[xsuicidalx]

where can i service my fz150i other than yamaha service center

 

take a look at our conversations.. i believe every page has at least 1 mention of HL cycle.. hahaha.. lets say dats its 1 of the most reliable shops we've been patronising... trusted service + snow wash!!! wahaha

even if its the 1st visit of a new customer, these guys give you trusted and quality service.. only thing they ask in return is to spread the word... we appreciate their work so we support and recommend.. no strings attached..

wah bro u power la.... can remember go how many times...

 

It is because i got log file in excel format of when i come to HLC to change engine oil, spark plug and oil filter la bro. Hahaha. So i know how many times i have been visiting HL Cycle. Yeehar. Hehehe.

[SKG_86]

if me...i record down all maintainance done&itz cost in my small jotbook...datz y i'm able 2 calculate running cost of d bike...

even d fc i note down too...i'd pumpet 68x since i got d bike...

[gkang]

hmmm...if like dat,try 2 do tuning...mayB ur bike needs tuning..try go HLC, mayB thy can help u...or if d prob still nt solve,thn cum 2 Nilai( if u'r willing to ) 310km away frm spore...thr got a CERTIFIED FZ150i mechanic....he attended course by Yamaha Sdn Bhd on handling our bike..he's vry2 knowledgable abt our bike...

 

Btw wat is tuning of bike means? Is it sync the speedometer with the actual speed? I really have no idea what it means.

[flint_the_gunslinger]

whoa.

okay ive missed out so much!lol!

marcus i want dibbs on some of your parts!

ADD IT TO MY TAB BOY!

lol!

 

aniway guys if u have any questions about ur bikes feel free to msg me @ 84953356.

wanna meet up also can try but no confirm one.

lol!

DAG!WADI! MARCUS! KANG!

I MISSED YOU GUYS!

come lets go out!

okay GO!

[SKG_86]

Btw wat is tuning of bike means? Is it sync the speedometer with the actual speed? I really have no idea what it means.

 

ops...sry 4 nt noticing dat u'r junior in mtrbike matters....

TUNING means = to adjust d engine system to a better setting

 

d bike's setting on air intake&fuel hv 2 b set accordingly....it shud b on good ratio 2 ensure gd bike's performance...if u go 2 workshop,4 sure thy know watz tuning &watz d reason of tuning&etc...

but nt all of mechanics r good in tuning our bike...some even dun wanna do tuning 4 our bike as our bike use fuel injection &thy'r nt familiar w it...thr's no relation 2 d tacho...tacho relates w electrical sytem+battery+cable(i'm nt sure if bike got cable..cz prev.ly i use car&got tacho cable...)+device 2 measure speed of engine(dunno watz d stuff name)

 

hmm...if u wanna 2 chat abt car here w me can...actually i know abt cars bttr thn bike..hehe

[gkang]

Does HLC do tuning for out bike? anyone here tried it out? I think i gonna do it as suggested by skg. My top speed really drop after i installed PA auto. It used to be 7k rpm for 100kmh, now is 7500 rpm. sian...

[Rompyin]

no. that is not me. i was pillioning my little son... not another pretty lady. haha.

aiyah, bought a bottle of coolant already. will take note next time. hey do i fill from front or is there a way to get to reservoir at the back. trying to make sure before i dismantle things in vain...

sounds like i need to visit HLC le... but so far from where i am. any trusted mech in the west? btw, is HLC affiliated with the Yamaha agent... same initials. cos if yes, then won't prices be higher than regular mech?

 

i am always amused at the terms used for bike things... really interesting... i suppose a "spirit jacket" is the one with netted material holding the joint paddings in place??...seen someone with this kind of jacket and wondering where to get... learning new things everyday!

wah, good habit to start! log book idea good too. proper record of fc. need to keep track of $$... already thinking want to change some things...

[Royksopp]

Hi guys,

Just got this bike for transport about a week ago.

Impressive mileage i must say!

Hope to join you guys one day for meet up.

Oh yeah, great thread too..

[RxzDelux]

no. that is not me. i was pillioning my little son... not another pretty lady. haha.

Lol! Pleasure to know there's another female rider! Me too female. Hurhurhur... I know I keep mentioning gf so yes, I'm a les but these guys are cool about it. Lol! At least I think they are

 

So any problems you faced with the height of the bike? I remember having problems cos the bike was too tall and heavy, completely unlike the school's bikes. But I pretty much got used to it

 

Hmm... Spirit jacket is actually referring to the brand of the jacket. Just a regular one. But I think our friend Marcus here bought one which happens to be rainproof. Otherwise most bike jackets will have extra padding for protection.

 

What got you into riding anyway?

[xsuicidalx]

wed is coming!!!!!

 

we meetin or what?

 

KANG!!!!! paid ur insurance already?? hahahah

 

rain proof never try yet... but it sure is hot... not used to it yet... but yea.. guess its worth the safety that comes with it
