Thanks ziggy will go to the petrol station later to correct the pressure

Hope that you are enjoying your rides. My advise to you is that if it's not spoilt dun change. YOu will get by using the stock parts and it does serves it's purpose.

Do have a check at the resevoir for the water cooler, you might not have enough liquid in it,make sure that you top up enough liquid," Distilled water" If you have experience a sudden lost of power while moving off, it's most likely due to your clutch slip. If the sound is constant during idling ,the problems lies with you clutch shoes coming loose" Not really sure if thats what you call it" Do monitor and have it checked by an experienced mechanic......unless you are willing to spents unnecessary money by chaninging lots of unnecessary stuffs which some shops make you do by teling lots of stuffs.......

[Rashin84]

just my 2 cents worth but if u encounter any probs like in your case...its best to go solve it asap....or else 1 problem might lead to another and u will end up changing more parts and spending more money

no there is no other sound other than the grinding sound...but it's only a short one when the temp is high and when moving off(maybe i also throttle abit more...cos jam mah...)

 

do u have jerkiness when u move off at slow speed

no ...no jerkyness at all...juz the sound when moving off...after that when travell at expressway, temp back to normal...everything normal....

 

anyway i found out this happen when temp very....but when temp back to normal everythings fine...tat's y wanna find out if it's a norm for our scoot...

you better have your clutch checked when you changed your belt...did you check you coolant level?

[Rashin84]

what about my problem ziggy!

Well first of all , I have yet to encounter the same problem that you are facing, although I have park quite a few times the way that you have describe( touchwood)

So maybe you might want to consider putting a fuel on/off switch to prevent backflow,put it will be difficult to have access to it.

The other option is try not to park in that manner or look for alternative parking lots.Seriously, I can't tell others what I do not know. Sorry, not much of a help.

Well you should have change your belts at the same time, unless it's totally new, to save yourself some money on the labour charges, and you can keep the belt as a spare when you go up north.

Dun cut the wires from the Headlights, but from the headlight switch itselfs, where you want to placed the switch is at your own preference, Mine is on the handle bar, where all the switches are, there is actaully an empty switch slot..

ok thanks:smile:
