[Q] My spec 3 could not start this morning. So i push start my bike, when it has started, a loud burst came from my pipe. Then it dies off again. Is it the engine or the piston jam? How much would it cost me for the repairs if its piston jam?

if your mechanic put a stand below and lift your bike up to the left side you dont need to change the eo . only change coil and gasket. asking you to changing eo is earn extra for them. if you eo is about time to change than change together then

Q

 

hi guys... im riding revo, does your fan activate when you came to a complete stop ? lets say i rode for abt 10km. funny thing is tt when stop, it activate as if like a fairing bike..

is this normal?

Sihan0110 is ride..u don't have to replace EO. If u got issue..u may want to use Ah Fook mototiam to change the magneto coil..but do compare price first. Btw..it could be just the rectifier faulty or just the rectifier connector burned out oso..and not the magneto coil.

Yes, it's normal. The fan is activated by a temperature sensor and will come on when temperatures reach a certain level, whether or not the bike is moving or at a standstill. Sometimes the temperature is "just nice" when you are moving because the wind/air blowing through the radiator is sufficient to cool the coolant. When the bike comes to a standstill, there isn't much wind/air blowing through the radiator. So, the fan will be turned on.

 

BTW, it doesn't matter if you are riding a Revo, Spec 1-3 or a car. That's the way radiator fans work in general.

[confusehaha]

my 9yrs old bike is showing sign of old age. but still good to ride. 340km before reserve.

try calling diff insurance company to see d price differences. if its nt much, if me lah.. i wldnt change. but as fr urs.. given ur age n riding exp n same bike model as mine.. $480 is cheaper than what i gt frm axa leh. so best i believe u shld stay with ntuc. i shld b d one switching to ntuc. lols!!
