Hi chief, do lemme know if u have the "replace petrol using water mod" , 1st to join yr MO list

[hilfiger]

time to change liow... check out this post at the tech thread

Meters resets on crank start?

 

suggest you change to YTZ14S instead of the spec YTZ12S, for just

more about batteries for SW...

The essential diff between YTZ14S and YTZ12S is the CCA right? S'pore no winter days on which to start bike, so do we still need a higher CCA?

[hilfiger]

my meter had been resetting for the past 8 months. mech checked, bikes electric current still in good health.

 

I've been using my stock battery for abt 2yr 9mth already. Yr battery is how old now? No problems whatsoever in starting yr bike during the past 8mth?

 

Sometimes when I start my bike, i hear the cranking is like quite weak and also maybe take a bit longer to start. I so scared one day can't start my bike...

[SW9000]

Battery good or bad I'll change every 2 years (60k km).

Don't dare take risk...

[firestorm_33]

[SW9000]

Hey bro, no nid so accurate la. Just drive slowly to a nearby petrols stn in the morning.

 

What matters more is pumping regularly like once every 2 weeks

 

like that maybe u haven't kana a defective air pump before. be careful.

having a personal tire pressure gauge is good so that u can double check the air pressure. never compromise on safety. almost everyday i check my tire pressure before riding. at least i know my tires are in good shape. i ride with a peaceful mind.

[bigcow]

33psi = 225Kpa

38psi = 262Kpa

 

Hmm... book says 200kpa and 250kpa, front and rear respectively.

I use 205 and 240, lone ranger.

 

front & rear tire wall states that can up to max 38 PSI at Cold. i prefer a well inflated tire. wet weather grip & control also better.

[spin37]

notice there're 2 screws on top of the centre handlebar cover right in front of the speedometer? the screw holes are fabricated on a relatively strong point made of metal brackets. i fabricated a centre mount (using 2x alu rollers, a alu horizontal plate and a RAM diamond plate) and fastened it to the strong point using the 2 screw holes... see below

 

my RAM kit setup...

GPS cradle = RAM-HOL-GA32U plastic holder

mounts = 2x RAM-B-238U ball with diamond plate + RAM-B-201U standard length 3" arm

spare base: RAM-B-309-6U reservior mount with double perm balls

if don't wanna use both centre screws, can consider this config:

 

http://www.ram-mount.com/Portals/0/PartImages/RAM-B-180U.jpg

 

this setup has a smallish shortfall, the GPS will be right in front blocking the speedometer at the centre. good thing is, the GPS screen shows the true (GPS) speed so i'll still know how fast i'm going

 

alternatively, many SWingers (e.g. robinowyong) use the RAM-B-309-6U reservior base which is mounted next to the left throttle assembly using the same 2 screws that hold the throttle assembly.

Maybe u Guys wanna try this setup instead ?

 

I'm using this universal holder, can hold handphone, GPS or walkie talkie..

[scoobydoo]

dun tink i'll spend more $$ to buy a universal holder... since the RAM design allows us to shift the position before finally tightening the thumb screw, i can always position the GPS lower or towards the left. but guess i'ld prefer the GPS screen to be as close to eye level as possible and in the centre

my battery abt 2 yrs old. though meter resets often when starting bike, the cranking was never weak.

standby a jump start cable in your bike lo. or remember to always have my number in your mobile. anything call me.

most scoot shops should have, price depends on brand and quality.

more expensive ones are like motovation and possibly piaggio original ones.

but most of us use the "dunno" brand... i got a chrome pair from tai hin for $35 (incl. installation) 2 yrs back; comes in chrome (recommended) or black painted and are big and heavy

i think LAB sells the even cheaper "some" brand heavy balancers

 

used to have a pair of motovation which cost me about $60, looks good (very nicely machined stainless steel) and works good... but so nice that gotta worry about losing them (most balancers are removable using alan key)

 

ps: prices may have changed
