Back-fire: should be refering to combustion taking place in the exhaust system due to unburnt fuel (too rich mixture or some other factors) being expelled along with exhaust gases.

 

Mis-fire: is more like a stuttering response when you throttle to accelerate.

 

(or in Army, means you kanna DB.... hahaha)

 

Hmm, tink mine should be backfiring in this case. I dont' get stuttering responses from my bike. guess should get my exhaust gasket checked out 1st followed by my throttlebody.

[Arcfire]

Btw, have you guys checked out the oil catch tank from wing yap yet?

[william_liu]

Nope... haven't had the chance to drop by.

Mine backfire most of the time when decelerate... More frequent when using 95 than 98.

Was exploring of ways to solve the Burgman 'eat' engine oil problem....

Was exploring of ways to solve the Burgman 'eat' engine oil problem....

 

I checked with FS, they have the wiruswin breather catch tank available. Might drop by some time next week to check it out.

 

Still considering if i should but the oil catch tanks from ebay but the dimensions are quite big... 6" length 3" diameter. 1 inlet 1 outlet and a removable cap.

[william_liu]

Aiyah, didn't check with them when I was there last Monday!

 

But today I dropped by the Wing Yap branch in AMK, they are out of stock. From a few of the samples I saw installed on a Phantom and X-1, it looks rather big also. Anyway they said the new stock may come next week.

[Arcfire]

Wah den lidat dunno where to place it liao....

 

Btw, is the one at wing yap openable? or is it just a sealed container with no way of opening it?

 

Any you know the dimensions?

[bigcow]

I've been having some backfiring problems lately. More often its when i'm exiting the expressways and decelerating in the filter lane after i close my throttle. Anyone experienced this before?

Read in the burgman usa forum that it might be my exhaust gasket is leaking or my throttle body might be dirty....

 

 

mine k6 all the time. cos the exhaust catalyzer broken liao

Openable I'm not very sure.... I did see three openings with tubes, one from the engine breather, one to the atmosphere and one back to the engine oil filler.

 

Dimension-wise it's width is something like a 1.5ltr soft drink bottle, height is about 3/4 of the bottle bah....

Fuuwah..... tats freaking huge man...... well, mabbe i'll take a look at it if i've got the time tomorrow after work.

 

Btw, you know how much is it?

[william_liu]

Didn't ask cos they're out of stock. Maybe you can help to check it out also? Thanks!

[Arcfire]

Ok guys, here's the scoop.... I've been to FS and Wing Yap to take a look.

 

FS has the polini breather catch tank. It has 1 inlet and 1 outlet. Another opening at the end for air to escape/enter. Its more like a crankcase breather in the sense as oil may still escape through the vented opening so it doesn't really solve out problem.

 

Wingyap has the oil catch tank but its not openable. Its a sealed container and has 2 outlets and 1 inlet. 1 from the crancase, 1 goes to engine oil cap and last one back to the airbox.

 

Now, both are about the same size. 6" long and roughly 3" in diameter. This is a pain in the ass for fitting cos we don't have so much of free space around to fit this big bottle in. Both are not openable and is empty inside hence a pain to maintain. We can't put anything in there to improve on the condensation properties of the tank.

 

Price: FS's one including installation will cost about 100+ while the one at Wingyap will cost about 70.

 

To me, both are not optimal for our problem hence another solution would be to custom one at seng kwang but i guess this will be quite expensive. This however will solve the spacing issue since we can specify any size that we want that is suitable for our bike.

 

Last option we have is some of the catch tanks i've found in ebay. They are of about the same size as the ones readily available here. But good thing is that it has a cap which is openable hence much easier to customize if we need to. I believe the material and workmanship of the tanks are better as well. But these range from about 50+ to 70 just for the tank and excludes installation.

 

Whats your take on the above choices guy??

[william_liu]

Thanks for the effort! Hmmm... quite a dilemma! You got the link to the eBay oil catch tank?

 

Another option is to sound out Seng Kwang to see roughly what's the price... and if got better price if we order a few instead of one.

[Terrible One]

mine k6 all the time. cos the exhaust catalyzer broken liao

 

Did you do it on purpose or wat?

[Arcfire]

is it the inner portion at the gasket end of the exhaust?

[marvel]

Wah. den can sell me when I wanna do la!! Hah.. No never see the SYM,u got the pics? Think the problem with the fitting would be the clearence, if too low/too little back sweep the brake pump will hit the dash.. Do share some pics if you've done any mods k?

 

I waited 3mths plus for my head fairing to come, it finally did.. But then GHC workshop under renovation!! Suay ah..

hahaha...slowly mod lor....wat to do sgp dun do custom mod oso...any idea of any shop that gt do minor mod?..or able of doin mod..feel free to txt me..

[Arcfire]

Sad news, i just went over to seng kwang to ask about customizing the oil catch tank but sadly, they are unable to produce it. So its back to square one again.....

[Scarab]

Info for those looking for burgerking original air filter.

 

It's now available at Guan Hoe for $43.85 incl of GST.

 

Thank you.

[Arcfire]

This might be a solution for our problems.

I'll probably order it tomorrow. If anyone wants to hitch on lemme know by tonite.

It'll be slightly cheaper cos we will save on shipping.

[william_liu]

Was thinking also, with the amount of oil that I'm losing, the transparent container looks rather small, so will there be a need to empty very often?

 

Unless the black box thing can actually help prevent oil from passing or something... hmmm
