yup simone does hv a point but dat time he went wif me to ah wah to do watever to get his bike power mines seem to surpass his bike by 2 lamp post, i let him try my bike & let feel for him self rather i talk him to it...its alot of factors to bike but u gotta know EXACTLY wat ya bike really needs....

 

eh gundu the spark plugs i got from ah wah was sh*t. they didnt last! the denso watcha u may call it. first time spark plugs gave me problems thats why i was unaware of it. bottom line is never use sh*t spark plugs or never get them from ah wah

Hi Guys,

 

My apology for being off topic here but can't help seeking query regarding the power booster that some of you have had installed. The number of power booster is based on the number of piston one engine have?

 

Thanks and regards.

Can see some of ur losing sparks.

 

I believe it's quite true u can sandpaper the spark plug cause it removes the carbon that was build up over time.

However should not overdo it as after u sand off too much, the gap will eventually become bigger and performance will deteoriate and it should be properly cleaned before it's been put back in place.

 

Also the spark plugs heads might drop off due to poor quality. Can't blame mechanic as it could be defective one in a batch.

 

Hope I provided some extra info for ur.

 

Some other info.

what spark plug were you using, how many months old is it? how much did u sand away? sparkplug die!!?? that sound sreally really serious.. i hope its sandpaper-ing the plug was not the cause.. (i read about ppl doing this.. when plug got carbonized)

 

if it was.. then im sorry man... seems maybe this method is not so safe.. *guess that why i have my 5 months used spark plug in my tool box.. just incase...

I was flipping through this morning Berita Harian papers and guess what i saw???

 

Varaderos spotted on page 6 of today's (Monday) Berita Harian. Picture was taken at Kampong Glam Cafe hangout about 3-4 weeks ago on Friday. Among those in the picture.... Dakar, Daniyal, Rideliquid, Abattory, Unknown and don't know who else in the pic....

too bad i went off early.....

 

 

:thumb:

yes i think its the number of cylinder you have. u're riding a shadow i think it should be 2 cylinder just like the varadero. i could be wrong though cos the booster is connected to the spark plug wiring providing a more efficent spark to the spark plugs so it could be the number of spark plugs u have. i belive some v-twin engine are using 2 spark plugs for each cylinder block.

Thanks for the info simone. My v-twin is using 2 sparkplugs per block so I guess it will mean 4 boosters? Will there be any side effect if I'm only going to install 2 boosters?

 

Many thanks.

[Guest simone]

you want mine i got mine removed by the mech. I guess if the booster wears out so will the power to ya spark plugs. if u want u can have mine to test but for a 400cc i dont think ya need one. i belive the booster has an extra grounding cable to give u more stable current flow.

 

U might wanna try the volt stabliser.

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forum/index....showtopic=77734

 

btw u were riding a dealim daystar and u got modded it up getting pretty good fuel efficency from it care to share with us what mods did?

hey [nights ] .. sorry. totally off-topic... hows the nolan helmet? still using it? its been a year + right since we got it? mine still good..

You mean to say the booster will actually wear out one fine day? I actually tested a US power booster from vector one, not sure if it is the same one but it sure doesn't workout fine for me on the fifth gear at high rpm but other than that, the pick up and throttle response was tremendous. What I gather from super bike centre regarding the power booster was in a matchbox size which is slightly different thus I have the urge to try it out when I read about the pickup and top end different you guys had.

 

Volt stabliser seem to be an interesting product but is it available locally yet?

 

Regarding my ex-Daystar fuel consumption, other than tuning for less fuel ratio by my mech, I did a swap for a smaller rear sprocket to reduce the rpm without losing my top end. Broquet was added which however I felt may not have resulted a better fuel consumption. Did some drilling on the stock air filter for better air flow and some modification on the twin exhaust to assist in a better flow of air. A change of sparkplug cable to produce better spark and last but not least a strict usage on full-syn enigne oil.

 

Hope the above info helps.

Whats Up DawGZ!!

 

Brothers...the theory of the camel riding effect never ending...becoz i got one more!...eheheheh...i was talking to my workplace colleagues about my bike...my senior colleague...told me that...it could be 3 things why our bikes have this effect....

 

1. spark plug....enuff said about that...

 

2. fuel line.....our fuel line could be plugged....and he said...our fuel line should have a strainer or petrol filter...which i doubt our bikes have it....change the strainer or petrol filter....

 

3. could be your petrol....high in sulphur content....which means...when you top a certain type of petrol....it will stressing your bike...you can feel the difference...it is obvious....

 

juz want to share only...ehehheh...dun worry...i will be sending my bike soon for servicing....after servicing...i will inform you guyz...what cause the camel riding effect....

I got my Hella FF200 for $90 (Two lamps with relay, switch, wires...etc) at :

 

Mistan Auto Accessories Centre Pte Ltd

Address : 16 Veerasamy Rd (opposite NPC, few shops down the road)

Singapore 207324

Telephone : 6293 4226

Fax : 6292 2612

 

I don't think FF100 (not sure if there is FF110), cost twice as much as FF200.

 

It's a weird shop, you can only browse from entrance the shop, but they carry the best range of Hella products.
