Anyone knows what could be the possible reasons for flat tyre if tyre got no holes?

[scoobydoo]

Would like to know the machine price of a brand new SilverWing 400... (Not GT/SW-T model)

if u r referring to the FJS400, think the old stock all finished liow (BS confirm no more)... new shipments are either SWT (Euro) or GT (Jdm)

Anyone knows what could be the possible reasons for flat tyre if tyre got no holes?

if tyre confirm got no holes, other possibilities could be:

 

* leak from the schrader valve

common causes could be valve damage, dirt or foreign object trapped inside valve

causing improper sealing by the poppet valve http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php/113114-Silverwing-400cc-600cc-Tech-Corner?p=6668012&viewfull=1#post6668012

 

* leak from bead area

http://www.carbibles.com/images/radialconstruction.jpg

 

leaks could be due to improper sealing/seating of the tyre at the wheel/rim or a damaged bead.

e.g. of improper seating

http://www.michelinag.com/agx/en-US/images/htbuyt/mounting_storage/bead_damage.jpg

a common cause of damaged bead is excessive force during installation. i.e. the steel wire gets damaged as the mechanic "forces" the tyre into the wheel before inflating it. with pressure, the beads pops into place seating tightly onto the wheel to prevent air from escaping. damaged bead causes improper sealing.

The bead is that part of the tire that contacts the rim on the wheel. The bead is typically reinforced with steel wire and compounded of high strength, low flexibility rubber. The bead seats tightly against the two rims on the wheel to ensure that a tubeless tire holds air without leakage.

Thanks scoobydoo for yr detailed info to my question.

 

I'm thinking since my tyre has been installed for abt a year already, it couldn't be due to damaged bead as we should be able to detect air pressure drop soon after installation right? It could be valve damage or maybe (I really hope not) someone sabotaged my bike by letting the air out. No way of preventing this from happening right?

 

Confirmed no holes in tyre as checked by mechanic. Gd thing just nice it's time to change my flat tyre as tyre nearly botak already. Another gd thing is Pirelli stock available.

[firenace]

haha not so soon le. Somewhere in Dec ba.

since u oredi downpayment for it, y wait till dec? number plate?

During the lobster trip, the speed and power of your bike suggest to upgrade your brake rotor. Change to ceramic type, when you brake it will turn red hot...keke

if say JDM is better, FJS owners not happy...

if say FJS is better, JDM owners not happy...

each has its own + & -

e.g. JDM has T-mode "booster" which FJS don't, FJS has better FC than JDM. other than that, same same

Hi all,i a newbie in scoot & had book a SW-T400(Black) from ASP.Will be collecting bike end month.I have heard that the front & back shocks are soft...Should it be change to after market ones? But the bike is brand new? What other things i should look for @ day 1 when collect bike? I had read some tips from 'tech corner',is the top-box Kappa K46 sufficient? I have to top-up if i need to have a bigger one,if so what size? 49,52,54? The top-box is a free gift.....Please advise...thanks.

do look up the Tech Corner... answers are there; see post 99

 

box size depends on your needs... everyone's needs are different

if only need to put 1 open face helmet, 23L already enough,

if need to put 2 full face helmet, need at least 45L,

there're SWingers riding without top box too...

ask yourself what u intend to put inside

 

while most of us here agree that the front seriously needs to be improved (e.g. change spring to hyperpro), we have differing views for the rear shocks; some of us are ok with them (e.g. i'm ok).

so dun rush into it, ride your new bike for a few weeks then decide what aspects are bothering you before working on the "enhancements". this way, you can experience the before and after differences for yourself.

e.g. if you fit PA2 from day 1, you won't know if the gadget helps/works or if it is just another "snake oil"
