Whats uP DaWGz!!

 

Yo Yo...just wanna check...do anyone here using 15/45 for your sprockets settings? If you do, what is your mileage per liter and do experience of dragginess when opening throttle?

 

Plus, when you start your bike, do the rpm ramp up to 2krpm before it stablize at/around 1krpm?

 

Need to double check. Because I want to make some minor changes..:cheeky:

I down one size infront and up two behind...well, the feeling pretty minor. I'm not sure about latest model but for my K3, if i'm not wrong, the rear wheel hub is not perfectly aligned. So riders tend to feel some " chuck chuck sound" when pulling off their gear..

 

IMO, increase ur rear by 2 if u got the spare and down 1. Most bike, including Haya does tat.

Now my bike started to have problem....

 

It started out of sudden...

My Idling was suddenly low...when i start in the morning...below 1k...it is not suppose to be that low...and it never when up...i start riding....halfway engine stall..quite a few time...and the bike feel weak...

 

When return home...tune the idle to make it higher...ride around...along the journey...the rpm sometimes seem slow to respond...and at times...when stopping it suddenly shoot up to 2k...and sometimes...it went down below 1k and straight away shoot up back to 1.5k(my ideal idling).

 

Today...i heard a popping sound came...belive to be under the seat...

 

hmm...

 

Any comment?:cheers:

Sounds like the engine choking....might 1 2 check yr spark-plug and spark-plug hoses. There might be some water. If there is, wipe it dry. Good Luck.

sentiments alike.. I experience same thing.... Tank was rusty and the bottom of tank was rather filled with water.. .>.

cleanup the fuel pump and "derust" the tank.. Everything is good to go..

Went to sew a "tank cap cover" from 219 to prevent further water ingress cos our tank cap do not have rubber seal on the key hole as compared to Honda. So water seeps thru key hole easily as well. Not to mention that fact that our humidity is over 90% most of the time.....

warren84>>> Previously, my setting is 15/47...I came across some V-strom website...stating the stock setting is 15/45...So I gatal and change back to stock setting....Between 90km/h - 110km/h...I can feel the dragginess when opening the throttle...and it is affecting my mileage...If lose a bit here and there, I dun mind...but I am losing freaking 60km...Previously, every 18liters my mileage will be around 420km...Now for every 18liters I am clocking 380km...Thats Bad...It is all right...I shall go back to KnT and ask them...Thanks...
