SBF Silverwings / HOM Cafe 2012

[SW9000]

***URGENT!!**

Dear SWingers, need your help. My battery just died on me this morning at the carpark and i am unable to start the bike. I called a friend and he told me that for auto scooters there is this jumpstart level or something at the rear wheel of the scooter that we can crank to start the bike when the battery is dead. I tried looking for it for a long while but i couldn't find it. Maybe can anyone please advice me where is this lever, or does it exists or not before i give up and call for towing services.

Many thanks!!

 

Max-scooters like SW no have lever for kick start leh.

Think you better go charge your batt. Either buy a 12V slow-charger or get a tow to workshop.

 

Anyway, if you have been riding normally in the past few days, then it may not just be only your batt problem.

Battery flat could be:

1. Too long never use bike, i.e. more than 2 weeks...

2. Forgot to close the seat properly thus under-seat light was on overnight.

3. Battery too old/spoilt cannot hold its charge any more.

4. Rectifier or Magnetic coil not working properly.

 

No have voltmeter installed? Can help in early warning.

If u got car, or another bike, then u can use 2 wires to charge up ur bike

 

If u gonna use the car battery, make sure u only connect to the battery after crank start. Otherwise the crank start will blow ur bike fuse.

I did rode for the past few days until today morning went to crank then the meter showed the battery dying signs i.e meter reset and fuel guage go down and come up again. I had the problem with my VFR last time so i know its def the battery.. So now just headache how to tow to bike shop. Cos the battery is below the seat so how would bike shop open my seat if they dun have my key? headache...

Hmm. Dont close/lock the seat?

[confusehaha]

Fc for jdm ard 20 to 21km/hr with +-110 to 120km/hr crusing is normal for this model right?

Btw any one tried 15w 50 engine oil on ur silverwing for both gear box and engine sump? Any review on it?

Anyone is botak's regular? Any recommendation on service shop for sw?

 

So far the jdm I got served me quite well. Very smooth & comfortable.

3rd day tried stp injector cleaner on it, felt that the engine turns much smoother then b4 ;D very pleased with the compartment storage together with my 48L top box. As well as the charging socket which is good for those people like me which the phone tends to flat easily.

[confusehaha]

I'm looking for one too.

Bro, changing from s4? I believe u will like it!

Much smoother and relax compared to S4.

Only issue is that is much heavier, hence pick up slower a bit.. But overall is good! Even corner is fun and smooth!

Hope u can a sw soon!

And one thing dor sure! Ur pillion will definately compliment on ur ride!

some suggestions for you...

* pass your key to the trusted tow truck operator and ask them to pass it to the workshop

* ask tow operator to tow bike to workshop, then you pass key to workshop later yourself

* hide key somewhere in/on the bike, ask tow operator to tow bike to workshop, then you call/tell workshop where to find key

* get help from friend, jump start the bike and ride to workshop

* take battery out, get it charged, put back, start bike then ride to workshop

* etc...

 

btw, strongly recommend that you ask mech to check your bike's charging system; can test voltage and current output at some electric points just behind the right side pillion footrest. batteries usually do not die out of the blue

i've tried maxima 5w50 full syn eo... imo, its very heavy. 10w40 gives you better response and better FC too.

 

there're many botak's supporters here that wouldn't hesitate to tell you how good and how solid are his service and skills... do a search and you can find lots.

 

some recommended shops for SW... not in any order of preference:

* Wonderful Motor: Botak

* AC Motor: Ah Choong

* K&T: Clifford

* Future Scootering: Kenny

* etc

can go buy 1 and install yourself right. save tow fee and the headache.

alt you can also get the super light weight batt from the guy selling in garage sale and "beg" him to sent to you. spent slightly more, save headache and shave 3kg off the swing.

if the mechanic is familiar, he'll know how to open it w/o a key. with a screw driver on hand, i myself can do it under 2 mins. i'm sure they can do faster than me.
