Why is this? Is it the weather? Lack of festivals? Political unrest?

[desmokat]

erm.. guess its lack of festivals.. haha// then hor.. dec always rain.. so better dun let it spoilt mood..

[Guest xanc]

guys, one question..

how much do u fill ur tank till?

i filled it up till i can see the fuel level frm the little hole but still abt half a finger away frm the brim..

den i rode for abt 50km n one bar out of 5 frm the fuel gauge decreased..

was doing sum calculations n find tat it's consuming too much if it's going at this rate.. so it cld be tat i din fill it up completely..

any ideas? :confuse:

I dunno bout U. I have the same problem. The thing is if fill up too much i.e. close to brim, the bike will tend to start coughing n may even stall. Usually I just fill up to 2cm away from brim then its ok.

 

Also, when fuel bar is 1/5 and starts blinking, no need to worry. I think no t accurate one, can still ride maybe another 20-30km. Suzuki make v Kia Su fuel gauge.

 

On NS H'way, I notice that Strom speedo also not accurate one. My fren's blackbird travel at 130kmh behind horning me. Later he said I was actually going only 110kmh but Strommy show 130kmh..................wierd

[Foodie]

yeaa, denden lets do it! Im interested too why is it better to do in yr end. If not lets do a short ride in late may early jun period. After Jun my schedule will be tight.

 

i got no prob filling up till the metal ring about 2-3cm from brim. Can travel 120km+ before 1st bar drops.

 

Well, i did read somewhere in e web tt the strom meter does under read. Can anyone cfrm?

[byteblock]

the speedo thing is a fact..not only on your bike..

i also dunno why it always reads high.

i read about it on the VSRI..that it will always at least read 5kmph more than your actual speed

[Al-Simmons]

about the speedo...u'll need a speedo healer to solve the problems..

 

check this on ebay >>> Speedo Healer

 

Cambodia ride...need at least 2 weeks to go there and come back...

personally i've not been there....but expect the minor or major hiccups...it's better to set aside another week so that you won't rush...

unless u all hardcore rider can ride for 15-20 hours without sleep and little rest...

u will have no problems reaching hua hin within one day...

[Al-Simmons]

denden & Foodie >>> for a start...why not join us for a ride to Hatyai on 12th april...

[arjen]

Denden are heading for songkran already

 

Btw, As my post above, Reason being simple. generally cambodia's rainy season are from may to sep/october. The cooler season are around nov to january. Other than that, It is very dry and hot.

The last time I touched there was in june. yea, big mistake for not doing enough homework. But learnt something.

 

Cheers

hm.. so u guys act filled it up to the brim of the small hole and juz left the space btw the cap and the hole empty?

 

i realised reserve is actually when there's a red ring blinking arnd the last bar.. but the fuel symbol starts to blink at the last bar..

2) cool and dry

3) hot and wet

4) hot and dry

 

Not advisble to do May - Nov. Trust me. It not fun riding wet in Cambodia with wind blowing all the sand across the road.

Okie... not adviceble to do Cambodia.... how about Northern Thailand?

 

Btw....

 

Al-Simmons, there'll be relatively cheap($5 plate of egg covered thai fried rice etc etc) food and halal food, drinks are coffeeshop prices, so it's good for everyone.

 

Fellow Stommers, do join us, with the friendly Hornet group which welcomes all. And for Xanc... I'll try give Pammy a call see if she's free....

 

There's was once which we saw more than 50 bikers showing up at Frangipani.... will be expecting no less than 30 this time I guess.
