ah pek can explain wats tank/fuel cock ?? need to drain out the fuel to carry out that? that time my first bike stall, the mech gt flip up the tank and remove the fuel filter and blow blow.. anything to do with that? go whr service better? ah fok?

 

 

 

thanks for the sharing bro.. may i know whr u service ur bike at? keep us update.. mine is spec2 btw... wats fuel petcock??

 

 

 

very long ago.. i think one pin 10 dollar??

 

Petcock is the thingy at the bottle of ur tank where fuel flows to the carbs. Yah...wash tank is what u described..any shop can do it..but its easy, can DIY. How much they charge I won't know.

hello guys..been riding my version s for close to 2 years now, all my oil change with ah pek and highly recommended!

just want to share something in case you guys kanna the same situation in future, got some reference..

 

My bike always have an idling problem..meaning in the morning, when i start it will nv idle, always dies off..been told its carb tuning prob but i choose not to believe..so look into other areas like spark plugs, etc.. all no help.. finally i also dono why i do it but went for carb wash and the mech also replaced the 4 pc of rubber "seal" kinda thingy..total for $130 inclusive of wash..

End result -> bike able to idle now..it really did help!

 

another i like to share is basically i went overseas and did not ride for 3 weeks.. came back battery seems week and couldnt start.. intermitently can start on good days and some days cant so i gave up and finally wanna change a batt so it works. went to a bikeshop and told them my problem, they said might be rectifier / coil issue..

 

but before i could say check or not, they already went ahead and dismantle the rectifier to check, found out the rectifier melted!

he also check the coil.. used some light bulb to check and i see from the circuitry that only the "forward" lights the bulb, "behind" bulb doesn't light up.. so he said coil is affected as well..

 

Finally he suggested to change to a 2nd hand one..but anyway the end result is i changed a new rectifier, 2nd hand coil and he did some wiring.. these cost $280.. not sure if its carrot, maybe someone can advise and then we can share in case other encounter this again..

 

Cheers!

Same lah..than call it fuel cock lor. Btw..have u check ur vaccum tube to the fuel cock..iszit loose or puncture with cracks at the both end? This is where its pumping thru engine suction to operate ur fuel flow from the fuel cock.

 

Also check the carbs rubber ductings to the inlet of the engine (like what ghs posted above in sharing about engine stall..see if any of the four is crack due to hardening and that the circlips are tight. If there is cracks or loose locking..air rushes in and kills ur combustion.

If ur fuel pet kock is clogged..just take it out and clean by unscrewing the big nut that attached it to the base of the tank. Be sure fuel level is extremely low and tilt the tank vertical.

 

Hi ah pek, thanks for sharing the knowledge. I dun know if it is clogged or the diaghram kaput. The petcock is replaced. After replaced, it is riding properly after 3 rides.

I did it at ah fook. Fuel petcock is the thing on your left bottom of your fuel tank. U use it to turn on fuel or turn to reserve tank when no petrol.

Haha ok no probz.. I see that after market ones are cheaper then originals but of cuz, originals are must better as they are specially catered for the bike. There are some options about after market that i don't like is the bar is wider and lower and i prefer the orginal ones but a bit higher.. hmm.

Yours quite cheap le.. Cos my magnetic coil also burnt off previously when i just went into the 2nd year. it cost me $560 to replace everything (rectifier, magnetic coil, battery). If i'm don't remember wrongly, new magnetic coil cost $320, recifier about $160, battery about 80. Should be around this range. I duno if you got carrotted but i think the price should be ok..

Coil - $280 to $320 (depends on Vtec or non)...rectifier - $85 -$125 (Japan or Thailand) Battery - Yuasa BS9 - $75 (non Vtec)...Yuasa 10s $160 - $180 (for Vtec use)

2nd time....tow do some wiring, change harness to the rectifier, ok......after 2 days

3rd time....get cdi and diy, ok......after 5 days

4th time....tow change the spark plug coil and do grounding, ok

 

all the above mention problem due to short circuit, as inform by the trusted mechanic....he say bike kena virus...

if i were you, there will be 2 plans.

 

Plan A = Change bike, less problem.

 

Plan B = if still love the current bike, push to shop, change everything that has not changed under your 7 years of care. Due to singapore have a irratic rainy forecast. Old bike will tend to be the victim due to the wear and tear issues esp electric. Rather than solve 1 issue and wait for another to pop up, redo everything and have less worry.

need advice..

 

this morning when i start up my bike, i noticed a few drip of oil below my bikes.

i searched for the source and found that a pipe/line connecting(the joint) to the side stand is dripping oil..

 

whats the pipe/line for? is it engine oil leaks?

Better check yr engine oil lever !

If u scare bring to shop and ask !
