not bad

Can elaborate more on the voltage stabiliser? I wanna know whats the effect after installing the voltage stabiliser thks.

[ambasnakeman]

it stabilises current and voltage for the entire bike.

eg, say 12V for the electronics and ignition. but due to some fault, now 13V starts to go to headlights. u start to loose power at the coil producing a less powerful spark.

 

it also prevents ground current leakage

[ambasnakeman]

QUESTION: just now when i stop at traffic light, i sensed plastic burning smell. then i saw light smoke at the front of the headlight. i immediately turned off igniton. currently running on 1 of 2 bulbs, and standard amber halogen bulb.

 

why did this happen? i might bt doing the investigation tomorrow

[ambasnakeman]

i belief someone here bought a second hand mra windshield

 

can upload pic? maybe can request for mass order if a lot of us interested

since we r on tis topic on our rvf air ducts, i add a little contribution to tis topic..haax.. act its a veri strange situation.. maybe sumone here can shed sum light on tis... one fateful nite i rode my rvf down from a mscp... then i kept the engine running while waiting for a fren... the next thing i notice...a bee flew into my air duct...but didnt come out!!! and the stupid thing is when i start to move off... my whole bike became veri jerky...u noe like when the bike ran out of petrol? and moreover it had a veri strange sound... and even when i turned to full on my throttle...the max it goes was like maybe 90 ? plus wif the jerky feelin... even a phantom can fly past mi..sighz...this situation happened for abt 5-6 daes... then one fine dae... was still tryin to get it going...SUDDENLY.... the whole situation disappeared!!! and my rvf was super smooth..u noe like when u changin gears and u open throttle...u juz feel a veri strong torque... it seems like theres more to come tt kinda feelin... but tt onli lasted for abt 3 daes... then my bike got back to normal... told clifford abt the situation he oso cannot explain... is it realli anythin abt the bee??? hmmzz...

haha power..ppl intel inside. u got V4 Bee Inside. additional bumble bee powerr!!

hey guys ..

 

my bike is facing some weird problems. there's no power .. no pickup, etc etc, no power. its struggling to even go 100...engine sounds different too ...anyone has encountered this before ?

 

secondly, my ride has been rather bumpy and im suspecting my rear tires .. slipped on me twice already, at slow speed .. using sportec m1 size 160 ... any idea ?

considering the fact that rvf is a well rounded bike, i dont feel it suits gp designs. like jerry's bike, which i see almost everyday, is suitable as it is sharp just like gp bikes.

 

for rvf, i tink those 125 and 250 designs will suit better. all well rounded.

 

how come nobody does vintage desgins

did u check ur engine oil level. i once saw this phantom, who serviced his bike a week ago, and suffered from piston jam

 

his symptoms were, no power, bike feels like riding with the brakes on, bike jerky at low rpm.

 

when the mechanice and I took the phantom apart(my friend shop in malaysia), the oil pump gear was spoilt. the piston was getting enough oil.

 

so becareful man

well i brought it to the bikeshop today .. apparently its the spark plugs, after the mech changed 2 plugs and did a lil tuning(i think, he mentioned that he'd) .. the bike is fine now, the power is back !

 

actually more concerned about the wheels thingy ... probably bring it back another day to check it out.

I believe what you said is correct to some extent however personally I duno if it serves its purpose leh cos theoretically the wire loom had already already catered for fuses to protect "over" current flow....more info pple....I also want to know
