rajeh_bp,

 

ur plugs could be caused by condensed petrol fume moisted, to prevent it from happening, the next time u have ur plug change change it when ur engine is cool(parked overnite).

 

very simple DIY:

- with a plug wrench firmly seat in fresh new plugs into engine block untill spark plug's sealing washer firmly contacted, then with a spanner generously give it a firm crisp of 1/4 turn in, that's it..!

 

future plm with spark plugs resulting to 'mis-fire' should be able to be eliminated.

Sometimes also have problem. Time to check the carburettor. Maybe fuel overflow and not burning properly, that's why you will feel the 'SA KAN HUA' feeling, like not all the cylinder is working. Have asked around, to service and change the overflow jet and also change the carburettor manifold, you have to prepare about $200 ++. If not, ask Simon when DIY.

Lancerlord,

 

have we met..?

 

btw, ur bike plm could be:

- fuel quality.

- minor spark plug missed firing plm.

- or it's time to bleed ur clutch fluid.

- inspect ur 'auto fuel cork' for leak OR chork in fuel flow.

 

can be other causes to it.

[Hornet]

By the way, is there anyone selling or know someone selling backrest for St1100, the one with the pouch??

Its me darwin!! I forgot i changed my nick liao. Sorry.....

 

For the problem so many possibility.....wonder have to spend how much to rectify the problem.

 

Anyway just another question. I went to gopa recently he told me i should change my themostat to allow the fan to be turn off earlier. Is it a necessary. Will petrol consumption be higher due to more power is used to power the fan?? Thanks:cheeky:

[Lancerlord]

Just now on my way back home, saw another fellow ST who horned and waved at me. Didnt get a chance to wave at him cause he was to fast and I was taking out my rain coat. Heavy rain at ang mo kio area. In such cold and heavy rain he did not wear his raincoat such a hero. Guess he dont feel cold. heeee....... :offtopic:

Hi Darwin,

 

Long time never see u liao... how r u....

 

Anyway for me i usually do/check thing that no need $$$ or spend little $$$ b4 go into big $$$ repair...

 

u can try the fellowing step.....

 

1. check ur fuel cork is there any leak if yes get it change might be the cause of ur problem,

2. if fuel ok, change ur spark plug those normal one will do and after change liao then ok but after sometime the problem came back take out spark plug and take notice any of the plug turn dark black and wet so high chances that u need to change ur float needles as wat thomas said,

3. if spark plug ok, check ur clutch. if clutch in and slowly lose of pressure then it time for u to change ur clutch master pump, check the level of fluid and and sign to leakage at the clutch slave pump.

 

 

As for the thermostat, think is the fan switch which will on earlier which is good when u are caught in the traffic jam or heavy traffic. FC will not that much as it does not consume lots of power

Hope this help u and other guys might have the same problem.

haiz..... i skidded this week on mon journey to work... the freaking metzler z4 really has poor grip during wet weather. luckily minor damage, juz scratch on my side crashbar plastic cover, no car behind me.... a friendly green zx636 cover my lane and help me up. heard from a few stoc guys tis tire sucks big time but gd lifespan.. vice versa..hahhaa.. so guys, recommendation on any decent tires in terms of price, mileage and grip?? hehehe also how much 2 replace the plastic cover for the crashbar?

 

thankz bros!!! btw simon, had my fren lite fixed, juz the connector came off. btw his our new st11 rider, hidden agenda.

 

save riding, cheers!

[amen23]

Sorry to heard that.

 

I will said none of the tires have wat we want for our ST. Either u have gd grip or gd mileages. And most tyre don't grip well in wet weather, GP riders using top of the range tires will tends to skid during wet weather.

For me during wet weather i will reduce in speed, no sharp/hard corning, no hard braking & no hard throttle.

Currently I have tested 3 set of tyres and i have write some review on it on my point of view (u know where u can see) and now are looking at new set of tyre for my next testing.... who wanna sponsor me on ME Z6 which recently have size for our beast.

 

As for the cover I think is around $20 can remember the actual price

 

 

Ride safe

Good Day Mates.....

Believe your odometer hs two colours. One in WHITE and another in RED. RED shows KM and WHITE are all in miles. Therefore it is normal for the bike to hit reserve and the meter read 250, cause all the readings are in miles. So if want to calculate mileage/distance travelled, plaese miltiply by the required amount.

Dragon is good on dry ground but not on wet. I guess road tires are not designed for wet ground. i do not think gopa has anymore dragon, he'll probably recommend Z4.

 

Hope someone can provide review on Z6 so, we may have another option in choosing tires. amen23, care to lead?

 

Strongly agreed with Cool79,... with one suspension at the rear, i really doubt ST is good for cornering.

 

Happy April Fool Day

[keaizhu]

had a try on a st11 today.. feeling is hard to describe. Don't really feel the drag when turn on throttle, but speed went up damn fast. w/o notice it is already 110.. it this what supposed to be like on a st11?
