but why your fan did not turn ON is the question. Then it turn ON after you top up coolant is another question. Fan is related to the temperature NOT the amount of coolant. With less coolant it should turn ON faster and not the other way round. Did you check your thermostat for proper reading?

that's not true that when the coolant is lesser the fan will come on earlier,

 

reason: the fan comes on thru the activation of the thermostat on the radiator, if the coolant does not come in contact with the thermostat (case when coolant is low) it does not trigger the fan to come on. therefore lower coolant level CAN cause the fan to not come on.

Hey guys, I have a question regarding charging of battery. We know that for the battery to be charged, we must go above a certain RPM for a period of time right?

 

Well, the problem is this. I have just been transferred to a new work place in Jurong that is only 2km away from home. The distance is too short for much charging to take place. To leave it at home for use only for the weekends is not ideal either.

 

So now I'm riding to work everyday and when weekend comes, take a ride 70kmplus round trip to charge the battery.

 

My questions are;

 

Will this style cause my battery to be worn out fast?

 

Is it sufficient for the battery to be fully charged once a week?

 

Any other potential risks I should be aware of?

 

Comments please.

as pinetree said, its possible...i haven managed to maintain at 22km/l..dats quite gd..guess if u maintain 18km/l and above shud b able to clock at least 380.. if u wan, try riding at 110, clutch in and reset ur meter.. u will get 50km/l !! hahah..

wat i did was ride at normal abt 120 den clutch in and let it glide till my spd drops to 100 den throttle again to 120..for highway..juz lots of clutchin in while travellin..tiring but used to it..

Wow, now I know why the fuel consumption on my bike would never be close to you guys.

 

Clutching in while cruising... hmmm... wun that be putting the clutch, chain and sprocket under unnecessary wear? And in the long run, it sure is more expensive to change those parts just to save a few cents right?

 

Guess I should just be happy with my sub 18km/l consumption rate.

 

 

Oh... I have a better idea to save fuel. Keep it parked at home.

 

Either that, or you find the steepest slope around your area, and roll to your destination.

i neber clutch in also can get 21.7km/l its the throttle control to maintain at 100km/h that will save fuel..

Yo bro,

 

Park at home petrol will evaporate also de.. waste more petrol. Mine also 18km/l average, i think is already very good le.

Well... the rate of evaporation would still be lower than if you ride what.

 

Anyway, you are right, I'm very happy with my 18km/l... much better than my friend whose evo8 is 10km/l and another friend whose RX8 is 8km/l!

 

Fuel consumption so high yet slower than us. haha

But its at 100kmh-110kmh that there is an irritating vibration that makes my hands numb... so I usually go slightly higher.

Busa charge the battery at low RPM..I've tested using voltmeter...I think it's below 3000 RPM...

Has anyone open up the battery cover(small plastic strip) of busa's original battery?

 

There is electrolyte inside. So i refresh charge on a avg of once every 6 mth and when its fully charge, i top up distill water till above metal plates. It keep my battery life longer and previous owner claim didnt change battery be4.

 

My method of charging is from my nature of work. I service battery.

You see ... I told you countless times ... You must always upgrade your brake system. Good brakes is not only mend for automotives fun, highspeed braking, emergency braking, last minute braking to enter corners to win, panic braking in the bend, a good brake system can also prevent you from highslide.

Sir ... you still don't believe me huh ??? ... LOL ...

I was driving lah. Not with my bike.

I forgot ...maybe up to 3500 RPM @ 14.2 volt then at higher RPM it went down to 12V (cut-off)....

maybe but the needle went down at lower RPM...the point is even if we ride in city or just start the bike and play the throttle..it's charging AND hi speed ride do not charge the batt....
