Hi all,

 

I need some technical advice.

 

I can't start my RS250. When i switch the key in the ignition, the LCD display is dead. The lights, horn all don't work. Tried kick starting and push starting but to no avail.

 

Could it be (i) the battery is dead, (ii) the ignition is dead, or (iii) both or (iv) some other cause?

 

I last rode it (very hard) a week ago and and gave it a good wash on Sunday.

 

Feel like taking the battery down to Ideal to see if the battery's flat.

 

Any advice?

if u can't push start ... then its more than a flat battery.

hey seriously...

i'm still confused..

i looked at the map.. and can't figure how is CISCO on ya right side..

check this map out

Map

no matter which side of PIE (coming from Changi Airport or CTE)

how did the CISCO land on ya right hand side??

unless ya on the opposite side of the road

 

so there's traffic behind the yellow box?? that means there are also vehicles

in front of the yellow box?? if that's the case.. settle privately.. cos ya at fault..

sorry, i'm the confused, maybe brain gana hit badly ...i meant u r rite, Cisco is on my left when i exit the PIE...

in front of the yellow box got no cars insight, behind the yellow box got cars blocked by the cisco van due to the accident in the yellow box...

[xiongzzz]

Update: I am now able to kick start my temperamental bike. (Hugh sigh of relief!)

 

So can I conclude it is the battery and not the ignition?

if that's the case...

the CISCO is definitely in the wrong...

ya on the main road, ya haf the right of way...

ask him how much is he willing to pay??

ask for all damages and get a compensation from him if he wants to settle privately..

no need to be nice to him.. be nice to yaself 1st...

if he can't afford to compensate everything.. just lodge with IDAC...

with that, ya can claim all ya damages.. thou the CISCO officer's coming june bonus will be held.. but heck care it lah..

When being hit by a company or Gahment vehicle, call the organization straight away. It's not being cruel to the driver or wat... but you have to cover yourself first and foremost.

 

If he plays punk and twists the story around, you're on the losing end immediately.

Cover ass is correct... but other ppl also trying to earn a living? If can settle privately... settle it that way lor. Anything that need to change... just let him know first. If he is not willing to pay... then report him lor. Remember to ask IDEAL to take lots of pics and access the damage in black and white.

There is a problem.

 

U both agree to settle privately. Later when you try to find him again, he play punk... made police report saying that the accident is your fault.. etc etc.

 

Ultimately, it doesn't matter abt making a living or what. We all have to bear our responsibilities. You cannot trust a stranger. A few of my friends have learnt the hard way... trusting "pitiful" or "friendly" strangers who offer to settle privately, then later stab them in the back.

 

So for me... no more "friendly" way. Straightaway talk about insurance claim. No private settlement. Make police report immediately after leaving the scene.

 

 

Going thru the proper channel is always the most risk free way. Hit Gahmen registere vehicle, you have to make police report. That is actually STATED in the LAW.

Can I join in as previously riding a RS125.

[Axxis]

VaraStormer> Does that FW plate RS125 come with the legal arrow pipe fitted or is it the milo kong type?

It's originally registered March 2003 right?

[lacrimosae]

Denis,

At least you can still move about? Lucky boy...

I'm confined at home most of the time and I have to use crutches to move about. I've regained better use of my left leg, but my right leg still refuses to recover any more than it was from the accident....

 

Projected duration of immobility is indefinite.

 

Cant ride, cant cycle, cant run, cant swim, most probably cant join the OSIM triathlon.

Dammit.

 

I dont hate accidents. I just hate the down time.

[Axxis]

lac> what happened exactly? sounds really bad. Hope you are able to recover soon.

[i-dunno]

does anyone has the link to rs125 service manual?

[lacrimosae]

Hi everyone,

I'm back. Just got myself a new toy to surf the cyber wakes of SBF, thanks to Chris and Ben who helped a slightly disabled man to carry his stuff home. As some of you may already have known, I was recently involved in an accident which left me a little inconvenienced in the mobility department. Nothing broken, but the impact between my femur and the pelvic bone has made any sort of pressure on my right leg unbearable. Wont be able to move nor stand on my right leg yet, but I'm just glad I'm alive.

 

To those who hate me, tough luck.

 

Will update you guys on the accident soon. Dont touch that dial!

More like a disabled man who has delusions of sprightliness. Lawrence, stay home ah. And everyone, if Lawrence even suggests going out with you, whack him on the head and tell him to be sensible and rest. Don't worry, he's in no condition to fight back.

 

To all Lawrence haters, don't worry, I've already teased and insulted him enough for everyone

I dont hate accidents. I just hate the down time.

ya... i stil can walk, just risk my wound tear, but i guess i'm indeed more lucky, mobility at home is not a problem, but no bike for at least 2-3 weeks, so outdoor mobility is limited to public transport... haiz... well at least got ppl pay for my medical bills and bike repairs... should count myself lucky, didn't die too... gana hit by a anti-hijack cisco van is really no joke... the cisco guy was still telling me how come his van got no scratches at all.... they are indeed built to last..

 

u got ur bike intact huh? but cannot ride due to immobility. i can ride but got no bike....why dun u lend me your bike for this 2-3 weeks while i help u with all your errands outside, lacr? great idea huh?

 

u are damn active, so pls count me out for your OSIM triathlon, spare this old man, this is one errands dat i can't run...

 

and dun keep thinking got ppl wish u are died lah, nobody ever said dat before, huh? dun scrap your self worth, before your maker scrap u...

 

For me, i dun mind dying in an accident, if its not 'cos of other reckless drivers...

and if i am ever dat reckless driver, i hope i never kill anyone 'cos of my reckless riding...

 

and accident by myself or resultant of others, i hate them, regardless...
