12.2V when moving is quite unsafe. have it checked.

 

guys, just to share.

in a malaysian workshop today, i saw a fully stripped GTS200 which has a similar engine like us. but the batt is running on 9AH. our bike got extra sprinkler and wiper, dun understand why need 14AH. if 9AH batt, its cheaper to replace also la.

Thanks for the info, I was worry about my battery after added a audio player. Now I've only 12.2V when moving....

 

it's must that u use a ammeter to check for accuary.

 

anyway, when switch on audio, together with the headlights and rest of electronics on, it will absorb much of the electricity from the battery.

 

if u put a switch to your headlight and switch it off, u should see a mass increase to it....

bro, perhaps its becos of the lightings and rest of the electronics that ad200 required 14AH

For safety....may not want to turn off the headlight.

Should I go for 16ah battery?

Have a lot of issue with 10ah batt on previous bike......9ah...hmmmmm don't think can last long.... if you start adding additional stuff to drain it.

i understand ur view. but the headlight bulbs are rated 30W each for low beam, tats a 60W combined. new bulbs these days are 50W low beam, tats 100W. so it already consumes low power. also, the bike is using SYM HD200 engine. if the SYM was running on carbs, then ok la, this bike need a bigger batt. but 14AH still, hmmmmmmmmmm

[ambasnakeman]

anyone has mounted a rood deflector kit?

that was also what i thought till i added a headlight switch and changed all my signal and brake lights to LED form and there is a vast improvement of close to 2V....... headlight itself take up 1v plus liao....my majesty is the old model hence the headlight rating was 35W......and when i tried changing to 55W-60W, the V drop alot.......

firestorm33, will give it a shot like wat u suggested. the adiva has a spare fan switch on the right side, will probably hook up to tat.

 

also, i dun think my voltmeter was showing right readings anyway. it showed irregular readings when i tried with different DC supplies at work.

 

finally, this thread is getting active again.

ya,....using a ammeter will be more accurate.....

[ambasnakeman]

did some wiring this morning. hooked up the low beam connection to the fan control switch on right side. so, now can on/off low beam using fan switch. and voltage improvement? yet to know as no voltmeter yet.

 

any of u know when can i find a replacement throttle cable? i noticed when i was doing wiring, the throttle cable, at throttle is slowly wisking.

Hello fellow adivain,

Looking for help from fellow rider..

My adiva frontscreen is baddly scratched,,,may i know if there is any way to dismantle the screen yourself??

thank you.

[ambasnakeman]

the parts list has got no screw attachements. possible its installed like car windscreen, glued on.

[adiva78]

any brother here got experience in taking the screen off?

Appreciate your kind comment

[deryiu]

Easy to take out ,but putting it back requires alot of skill ,better let a car workshop do it ,not even the agent can do it properly !

[adiva78]

thxs bro deryiu,

need to take it out 1st and sent for fabrication (this fabrication job may take afew days) sending to a workshop will most likely to be cost inefficient ba..

Will try by pulling out the rubber seal 1st...will update IF im sucessfully

[ambasnakeman]

saw an adiva at hougang IMH junction. it had extended roof, pillion side which goes side ways. its either DIY or custom made, but it really gave the pillion area more shelter. not sure if its a fellow forumer bike, but its a very good idea and job well done

[leaa]

Anyone got good price for the side reflector? Or anyone customize one?

[ambasnakeman]

did belt change. bought the belt in SG for 90++. labour plus rollers cost 70rm in JB.

Hi Elton

 

Good to know that the Advia forum starting to generate some interesting intent and purpose.

 

If my work permits that I would be attending the meet up on 7/1/2011.

i recently smashed my left mirror against a lorry. the signal and case is ok, except mirror shattered. had a replacement mirror done in JB for 8rm. so, not necessary to replace with expensive adiva mirror
