3) Press the fuel pump to pump (use the middle level so the flow of fuel is slower) until the nozzle automatically stop by itself. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFUEL.

4) Set your A TRIP to "0km" before moving off.

5) Ride as per normal.

6) Make sure you hit about 200km before your next refuel.

(The longer the distance, the lesser is the error)

7) Put bike on main stand.

8) Before refuelling, take note of A TRIP. eg. "180.2km"

9) Insert fuel nozzle all the way.

10) Press the fuel pump to pump (use the middle level so the flow of fuel is slower) until the nozzle automatically stop by itself. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFUEL.

11) Take note of pump volume. eg. 8.65L

Distance travelled/Fuel volume = Fuel Comsumption.

In this case, eg. 180.2/8.65 = 20.8 km/L or 21km/L

Do this method for at lest 3 times. This is to minimise errors again in the test methodolgy.

Lately i saw the new version 06' model (Euro), there is 2 pilot light beside the head light. But no more 'Turbo' switch which i think is not neccessary as the bike got 'power' liao, and also they don't come with hazard light which i think it is useful when needed.

12.6k on the road with 3rd party fire & thife.pls note: Price will varies

Suspension so so onli, wind screen abit shaky during high speed, no hazard light, no wire mash to protect radiactor, petrol hungry, heavy in weight.

Ans:Fuel consumption is like 18-20km for per liter of petrol use subject to the riders' riding pattern and road conditions.

3) Maintenance wise? (how many spark plug, engine oil, belt, others)?

Ans:Silverwing only uses two(2) spark plugs(not to worries about the changing of plugs cause the changing of plugs only occur after 20,000km of usage).Engine change is only 2 liters for non oil filter change and 2.2 liters for oil filter change.Normally i change my engine oil after every 2500km interval.Belt changing is superb.one single change of belt can goes up to 50,000km.Again,The changing of belt is subject to riders' riding pattern as well.(i suggest you don't drag your scooter duirng start-up.Accelerate and increase the RPM smoothly to achieve higher mileage belt change.

4) Price? 1 hand or 2nd hand (ard 2yr old)

Ans:Price for 1st hand inclusive of insurance should cost from $12,500 to $13,500 depending on your age.2nd hand should cost not more than $9000 at the age of 2 years old.

Transmission Replacement

jap version (JDM) uses the same roller and belt.

jap (JDM) and euro roller weight different

all belt the same

lokeks · October 2, 2006

just to clarify,

I believe BOON SIEW only had JDM SW600, not JDM SW400.

Their (Boon Siew) SW400 shd be all EURO version, becos they only bring in this year after April I believe.

So, all SW400 (in Sg) after april this year shd be Euro version.

Silverwing SW400/600 EURO model

HISS

For those guys riding the Euro version Wing, dun be alarmed when you see your HISS light not blinking. It is still working fine but it is set default not to blink when you turn off your switch. But you can set it on if you want. Need to set it after every time when you off your bike if you want it to blink. If not, just leave it without blinking but it is still working fine.

Roller weights difference

The roller weight of Japanese and EURO version are different.

Japanese=36g(dont know which year model)

EURO = 28g

Multivar 2000 = 21g and 24g ( mix and match)

That is why the euro version have better pickup.
