SBF Silverwings / HOM Cafe 2012

[DraggyStar]

Bro how often u check ur tire pressure?

 

Every 2 mth go SPC regulate to 250 rear,210 front.sometimes 3mths..I do believe due to low usage,the tyres harden(bro Scoob mentioned).I very seldom ride my SW as I'm always on flight to overseas..even if I use my bike,it's from Hougang-->airport-->hougang.That explains my low mileage..and as for battery,it's chged annually..

 

Did see a neighborhood cat make friends with my rear seat.spray some vinegar cider and still it's sleeping there..other than that,no complains about this magnificent bike.

Where to get it and how much, thanks.

Wa piang...looks like all stewards get this image of being playboys---😭,then all stewardesses are easy going...Not true scoobs...I for 1 is just a regular steward earning my bread and dough for my family.in reality maybe only about 20% are what you mention as "easy target"...

This is a MO for 4 units of the old superceded 22361-MCT-000 clutch side plate. Price is S$12, delivered using Singpost A.M. Mail to your letterbox when stock arrives from overseas. ETA in about 2-3 weeks time.

Bad news guys. The US supplier told me can't get the part. Said "national shortage". Good news is, my order was denied as the payment failed. I think banks have stepped up on validation of card address vs billing addess. Will continue to source. Anybody has lobang?

 

I had gotten a similar Kymco Xciting500 part 22361-LBA2-E00 but the holes position are slightly out by about 1mm. Actually Kymco Xciting500 parts are very similar to SW; part numbers already very similar. The clutch dampers are exactly the same part number. Think most of the designs are adapted.

i'm currently using a pair of T10 with mini "projector" lens, very bright from the front; there's another kind which the lens disperse the light all round... depends on what you want ba.

e.g. dunlop SX01, michelin pilot sport sc, bridgestong Hoop/B03, etc.

 

someone ever asked whether can use tyres of different specs (front 120/80 14M/C 58S ; rear 150/70 13M/C 64S).

why not? as long as tyre can fit the rims but can use is can use, good/safe or not is another story

 

move to the dark side

at own risk hor... hehe

How do i reduce vibrations on my SW-T400? I find that at 120-130km/hr, it vibrates more then my DRZ400SM.

[Uncle]

Sounds like tyre problem or wheel balance out. Bros here wreck higher speeds.

[norishimu]

Noted Uncle.

Vibrations only felt at 110km\hr onwards altho minimal at this stage.

Significantly felt above 120km\hr.

I remember being a pillion on a colleague's SW that is as smooth as knife through butter at 120km\hr.

Just got my SW 2 weeks back. I got it because i figured it will cruise the NSH better then my DRZ400SM.

Hope to get it rectified soon. Thanks.

same problem as mine when I just got my swt.

stiffen your real shock spring. factory setting is 2, which is too soft.

[scoobydoo]

1st question... where is the vibration coming from or felt?

handlebar? seat/chassis (aka body)?

 

many factors could contribute to vibrations other than the "natural" ones; brand new bikes should not experience some of the factors (assuming they're pass proper QC but flukes do occur).

some examples are:

* worn tyres or out of balance

* tyre air pressure issue

* wheel alignment out

* untrue wheel

* worn bearings

* worn steering cone

* warped brake rotor

* front fork issues, e.g. fork oil too much becomes hard, too little risks bottoming

* rear suspension issues, e.g. too soft may allow too much movement, too stiff becomes bumpy

* engine mounting issue

* engine's cylinders out of balance, need to do air-sync

* inefficient combustion, e.g. "bad"/loose sparkies, insufficient airflow, etc

* engine oil to heavy or soiled/"worn"

* something loose somewhere (transmission, gears, exhaust, etc)

* road conditions... beyond control la

* etc etc etc

 

small "issues" are amplified at higher speeds

Yep like what scooby bro says, need to know where's the exact place of the vibration coming from.. If is from engine, u might wish to try a richer setting of the injectors that is to 1.75turn out.

For more info u can do a quick look at the silverwing tech corner.. As a richer setting enables the engine to have less effort in cruising at higher speed.

My Silverwing broke down yesterday. Temp went up followed by clicking sound and power loss. Managed to ride to a bike shop. After cooling down and topping up of coolant, the sound and power loss is still ere.

 

I ride my secondhand Silverwing for a year with no problems and send for respray recently. Even rewrap the seat and change a bike box to beautify it and now it broke down. Can anyone recommend a bike shop (preferably in the west) that have experience to repair Silverwing? This bike shop I stopped at say they not confident of repairing my bike.

 

Pls help. Thank you so much.

Overheating might be pretty a standard issue on all vehicle if u dun periodically check ur coolant level.

My advise for overheating, if ur temperature level happen to shoot up close to hottest range, dun attempt to ride ur bike anymore. Get it tow instead. As if u continue ride it, the damage might get worst. Serious case might lead to piston sieze or jam.

 

For now, perhaps u might need to give it a check on ur

1.Water pump - might be damaged. Hence the sound u mentioned might be coming from there.

2.Coolant hoses - check for worn or leak.

3.Radiator cap - check if the seal is worn.

3.Engine gasket - as overheating might worn ur engine gaskets. Especially the top head gasket.

 

For west area, u can head to future scootering, as they just shifted there last month.

To add on, although silverwing is a robust and reliable bike, I still urge u to kindly do a weekly check on ur coolant level, engine oil level and ur tire pressure

This routine can apply on all vehicle as well. If possible make it a habit.

That's my weekly routine.

Save money save time!
