[DeXirant]

hey guys...ive got 2 question ive been wanting 2 ask about my SP...

 

1) ive juz changed my eo n 2t yesterday n i found out there is ALOT(I mean ALOT) of white smoke coming out of my bike...

 

previously im using castrol power1, but ysterday i bought motul 710 since the bikeshop did not sell castrol...

 

so, izzit normal 2 have alot of smoke 4 motul or izzit got sumtin 2 do with the eo??

 

2) usually wen im running out of fuel, i still cn depend on my reserve 2 get me 2 the nearest petrol station...

 

but yesterday after my bike died, i turn it 2 reserve, only cn go about 300m den it died again..end up haf 2 push 2 petrol station...

 

so, is der sumtin wrong with my reserve?? coz i dun remember going into reserve all this while dat ive been riding since my last top up...

 

or izzit possible dat ive been using up all of my reserve, den accidentaly switch it back 2 ON, den ride till engine die??

 

cn sumone plz enlightened me...thanx...

1. white smoke totally nothing to do with EO, but rather is your 2t.

 

2. standard reserve can hit a long distance. my ex-sp's reserve can hit 50km for your info....

1. It could be due to broken oil seal if u say if theres alot of smoke only after changing EO.

If ur EO is top up til the max level shown on the window with the bike level straight. Try riding for a couple of days 1st and then check again and see if there is any decrease in EO level. Remember to warm up bike at least for 5mins 1st before checking EO level.

 

2. Cant think of any reason. It could be the kill switch dat coincidently shorted just after u turn knob to reserve.

Try to toggle the kill switch often as residue from corrosion on the connectors sometimes may result in temporary cutting off while riding.

1. imo, motul 710 is quite thick for normal ridin. if the interior haf too much friction due to thick 2T, alot of smoke may shoot out oso. tt's wad happen to mi bike.

 

2. try to use the trip meter to gauge ur FC instead of the fuel gauge. u switch RES ON 1st. pump full tank then switch back RES OFF. this is to allow all the petrol to fill up ur RES tank.

 

turn to RES ON when required. frm there u should be able to gauge ur normal tank can go how far. lets say for mi 10l = 200km, RES 1l = 20km.

 

hope u understand...

i also using motul 4t sia...

2t is the shell one.

 

if i go ard 120km, i see alot of smoke.

 

for that must do tuning rite?

sp only got 1 tank. so whether u put on /off /reserve its still the same tank...

eo nth to do with smoke. btw u use 2T, what 2T u using? if the previous 2T no problem den just use the previous 2T lor.

 

if its there for v long, maybe ur exhaust built up alot of carbon, go decarbonise it. it could be ur 2t set too rich also...

 

lastly, most jia lat... ur piston wear.

sp only got 1 tank. so whether u put on /off /reserve its still the same tank...

 

so wtf u tryin to say? who donno SP got 1 tank...it's onli the partition inside got 1 RES area for juz in case use.

 

to TS: SP ca use gear oil as EO. betta than 4T. eg can use maxima or motul gear oil.

 

for the smoke issue u can try ask ur mech tune/adjust the 2T settin. too much white smoke will kena fine if caught.

hope u understand...

 

i dont quite understand, switch res to on, den pump full tank, switch to off as this allow petrol fill up res tank? i read 10 times i still dont understand, can u explain further about ur pumpin prodedure?

 

can anyone interpret for me what he is saying? my command of english is quite poor.

Firstly, the tank is a whole. So if i turn my knob to 'off' then where will my petrol go? Since you say switching to RES fills up the RES tank.

 

The knob switches between petrol tubes and not 'tanks'.

 

Secondly, excessive white smoke may be caused by a worn out crankshaft oil seal. Engine oil may leak into your combustion chamber and thus producing so much amount of white smoke.

Agreed.

Turn res to fill res tank, then switch this then switch to that. :sian:
