Sry bro. Intend to enrol@SSDC.

[WarForGe]

hmm.. got something that is bugging me abit..

 

How many of you actually start up the engine and waited 5 mins to warm the engine before moving off?

 

I usually only "warm" the engine for about 1 odd minute nia and slowly move off at around 4-5k rpm.

Anyone riding a 2010 S3? Any major problems?

[hishouken]

Usually I'd start-up the engine and let us run for awhile and I take my time to arrange the storage, put up my jacket, gloves, etc. Probably 3-5 mins passed since then.

 

Something else is bugging me instead. The engine emits a "sandy" sound between 20-40km and it disappears above 40km. Once I dropped back to below 40km the sound’s back. It doesn’t affect my riding and I hope it is not something that affects the engine in a long run. Any ideas?

I do notice that too, sometimes accompanied by light vibration at the seat (under your precious family jewels). But I only notice that symptom when I start from a cold engine. If I've ride to a place, park for awhile (go buy makan) and ride again, don't have leh..

Hi S3 riders, I'm going for viewing a 2nd Hand S3 tomorrow (Tuesday) at yishun. I need someone to advice on the condition of the bike as I'm newbie.

 

Any of you stay around? Viewing is at 8pm

[Adzz]

For me, I warm up for a min to 2. Usually start bike before doing anything. Fastest 30s and I'm off, but I wont whack the throttle. I read that for FI bike, 30s is all you need to warm up. The old Carb needs a couple of mins. 2 more pumps to my next servicing. And it will be interesting to see the bike rpm at 9k

[hishouken]

That means our situations are different. I dun have any vibrations under my seat though… Perhaps its time to pay a visit to CKA again… Wah…

Hi javed, hows your viewing?

 

Just now after work i went down to Rigina to view some helmet, actually thinkin of Shoei Neotec, HJC R-PHA Max ( at Motorworld ) and NoLan N104 but in the end i bought a AGV NUMO_Silver colour.

[hishouken]

Nice. I brought a Caberg Konda a few weeks ago at Regina as well. Budget flip-up.

 

When is a good time for the gathering?

Thanks bro hishouken. Actually they also intro Caberg after i view Shoei and NoLan but the price now Caberg went up to $250 cos they say it got batch inspected sticker now, that why i bought the AGV with batch inspected sticker in the end after they intro me this model also about $100 more after neg...

 

Mostly maybe next month i'm getting Mesh Jacket but will buy after we get to meet up cos some our bro here have it and need their info and i want to know what to take note when buying it =)

For my ride so far not yet 2nd tank yet now it about 250km left 3 bar... now still running in so i can't hard or instant twist the throttle, but i slowly twist it around 5k to nearly hit 6k the speed about 80km to 110km must see it stright or down slop on highway. It take 3k to move off.

 

haiz... very sianz running in nearly every time kana horn, over take side by side like going to knock me down on small road. mostly keep to the left lane if needed to turn right then keep to right lane then this horning , over taking very near me happen... Some time i want to buy a plate that write ( Bike or Car running in pls be understanding )then hang it behind my bike.

[topgearalwaysrock]

Whoa! 5000-6000rpm and it's doing 80-110kph?? My DT125i need 6000-9000rpm leh!!!

 

Actually, to me, run-in is more of getting the bike's engine to get use to my riding style and not the other way round of me letting the engine go easy. Afterall, you have 2 years warranty backing by CKA and Daelim Korea!!

 

Do let me know how you find the seat comfort as well, as I find it really soft when I sat on the scoot at the showroom.... Hmm.

[foxz15]

Hi topgearalwaysrock, my warranty from CKA only 1 year ley how i wish they could given 2 years.....

 

For the seat i find it ok but for the sitting position i find my last time Forza is better cos Forza sitting lower and the leg space is better . =)

Edited October 17, 2012 by foxz15

[Adzz]

S3 seat height is quite low, at 750mm, so for tall fellows, no goal! Me 172cm already feel a bit low. 7k rpm for 80kmh, and 8k rpm for 90-95kmh. Hehe.. 300km more to run now.

I find the legroom for the S3 250 just nice for me bro! Not too far a stretch for my legs to the foot rest!! But for those who are taller than 1.7m, then I think legroom is a bit tight luh if you want to stretch your legs.

 

The profile of the S3 is much narrower than my Downtown. So I suppose squeezing between traffic is an easy affair isn't it?? Haha.

 

Honda Forza design now being copied blatantly by Chinese scooter manufacturers in their domestic market. Haha. Same for the Burgman as well....

[hishouken]

Hi foxz I almost forgot about the batch inspection sticker and I went back to check my helmet and found that there's no sticker! From what I understand, if the helmet has no sticker and I met trouble insurance companies won't honor claims is that true?

 

Your ride sounds good. I've to get to 7k rpm before I can hit above 80km for the S3 125. And yes now CKA give warranty for 1 year nia.

 

topgearalwaysrock and adzz, frankly leg room no problem for tall guys like us lah, when we stop at red light just put down both legs and stand up lor (dun forget to hold on to the brakes).

[hishouken]

Yeah~ Who else would like to meet-up besides me and foxz? Will try to coordinate the best time since most of us have work and family committments.

 

S3ers:

1) hishouken

Sooooo Lets Meet Up..... S3 Bro

[foxz15]

Today my bike ( S3 ADVANCE ) hit reserve at 350km. After awhile few distance ride I start to pump full tank again and calculate it about 32/L

 

Thanks hishouken =D

Edited October 18, 2012 by foxz15

[Adzz]

32km/L is a nice number to have for 250cc. Actually after riding for 2 months, I like almost the whole package that comes along with it. The keyless system, underseat release system. Only flaw now is the slightly low seat which cause me to have a bit of backache when ride for long distance.

 

While I like bigger scooters like Majesty or SW or TMAx, I might just settle down for a 250cc S3 if it goes well with the review for the next one year. And that the S3 125cc is working well for me. If it works well, then I have faith in the 250cc S3 as well that it will not screw me up when I need it most (well everytime in fact). I believe that a 250cc bike is sufficient enough on SG roads, in that it will give you the power to overtake when needed eg LS, or to avoid danger. Last one need is lack of power when you need it.

[foxz15]
