SBF X9 Cafe 2009 - Amalfi/Evo

[edmarlo]

Whats future or wonderful pricing like to replace water pump (preferably 2nd hand)?

Im riding a 9 year old X9 Amalfi and I've been advised to replace water pump before it fails on me.

Also, Kenny, do you guys have any 2nd hand pipe (stock or aftermarket) for Amalfies....

 

Has anyone sprayed or bodywrapped an X9's body before. Not the actual outer cowling of the scooter but the black portions (dash, floorboards, etc). Where and how much?

 

Cheers

any bro can tell me how much roughly the oil change cost for x9?? how much oil is used?

 

without changing oil filter 1L should be enough but if change oil filter, it's abt 1.2L.

dude, water pump i don't think got 2nd hand one.... cos most of the people just change after it spolit..... pipe and body work wise, there are as quite a number of X9 had been scraped.

 

for spraypaint, there are plentiful of shops around.... do a quick search u can see....

Guys, does anyone know if the digital meter of Amalfi can fit on the Evo 200....thx

[joeling914]

Normally i change around 14~16k... due to i always travel inside malaysia and thailand....

Original belt should last you 18~20k.....

 

The rest like bando and malossi belt don`t last that long.....

thx

There is where the water pump is....

I think the seal for the water pump is compromise.

You will need to replace a new water pump.

 

Est cost for water pump is $200~220 inclusive of brand new coolant.

hi "soundless''

that's good information. as matter of fact, impact wrench is something in my wish list with different sizes of socket. do you recommend purchasing it via online or local retailer shop is ok? what torque range should i look up for? i'm trying to keep this coming to 10 years SL250, for another 10 if possible. other than the wear & tear of expendable items, i can't justify it to scrap.

 

in fact, i'm trying to retrofit with Malossi/J Costa as my next project.

perhaps "soundless", we can meet up for teh tarik over the weekend when I'm in town.

I prefer to use air-powered impact wrench. Those 12V impact wrench take 2 much time and not enough power to do the job.

 

When you free, just pm or sms me.

Did it suddenly shoot up very fast or slowly till red line... yet fan mai on?

 

If shoot up fast mean water is not moving....= water pump gone.....

If slowly shoot up... mean like my case..... water pump fin broke..... just get a old fin from those spoilt water pump....

 

Hope this help...

Range from 200~220 inclusive of new coolant.

 

expect some shop will ask for more.... if you know what i mean.

[shorty]

oh in that case i tink the belts really hv improve in quality. can last longer. but when going back, seems like there's a slight prob.after slowing down, i open throttle n the bike like unwilling to go. like got some lag. rpm will shoot to 6-7 b4 power the bike can pick up. dunno if got anything to do wif the servicing done. will monitor for couple of days b4 going back to botak.

Never encounter this before .... even i have change @ least 4~5 belt already...

But i do feel the bike a bit lost of power due to belt need to seat into the old plate.... A couple of days or week will be ok le....

[shorty]

hopefully so. can afford to hv any more prob. next mth need to change steering cone n the fuel gauge tube thingy.... pocket koyak already.

thank you.. went Botak this morning.. saw the door not open, then go withdraw $$ and lim kopi at nearby.. then came back around 9+.. still not open, then i call him liao.. then see him came out next door.. lol..

 

total waiting about 1 1/2 hrs, repair about 1/2 hr.. $220 poorer. It's rather expensive for not so complicated part!! well, it's Piaggio..

 

i remember I used to change a Honda engine block about $350, yet the work at least takes half a day!!

 

anyway, I am happy man since the bike back to normal, and learn abit about this bike.. this bike had served me well, and I really don't mind to spend abit of $$ once awhile..

 

btw, Botak got 1 X9 200cc going for sale at $1900. He asked me want anot.. lol.. but I'm not interested since doesn't really got much different from my current bike.. but I am planning getting a Silver Wing 400 may b 1 day..

[shorty]

wah so cheap ar. got ask him got catch or not. last nite nvr tell me. i can sell mine n buy his. hehe.
