Hi..all Vara bros,Peace..

 

Brothers >> Its learn to share, share to learn time ....once more. some excerpts on air filters.

-----

Air Filter

http://www.dansmc.com/airbox.gif

-----

Air cleaners are a real necessity. You are right to clean them and clean them often. You will be recompensated with long engine life for your righteous efforts ! Do you know how much dirt was needed to ruin an engine. It was almost nothing. Seems the dirt gets imbedded in the soft aluminum of the piston and then just grinds away like sandpaper. Always run your bike with the air cleaner installed.

 

Most motorcycle air cleaners are one of three types. Oiled foam, oiled fabric, and dry paper.

 

Oiled foam is very popular with dirt bikes. On Oiled Foam filters the real filter is the oil. The foam is only a support for the oil. Sort of like a skeleton. You must oil the foam on these filters. If you do not, the filter will not work ! To clean them, rinse in solvent several times or until clean. Then ring them out, and let them dry. Lastly, put on a fair amount of oil and work the oil into the foam with your hands. You can buy special air filter oil or use regular 30w engine oil. 90w gear oil also works good. Check your shop manual. Some people say to dip the filter in the oil and then squeeze out the excess. This works, but the engine will usually run quite a bit rich for up to an hour or so, as the excess oil is pulled out of the filter, and into the engine. To avoid this, drip a good quantity of oil all over the foam, inside, outside, and on the edges. Then, work the oil in with the fingers and add some more till all parts of the filter are coated with oil. Sometimes, there is a coarser foam filter on the outside of the fine foam filter, clean and re-oil it the same as the fine foam filter. As you clean the foam, rub it somewhat roughly. If the foam easily rips or falls apart, get a new one. This type of filter will just fall apart with age. Anyway, if it easily rips, get a new one.

 

Fabric filter, have a surgical type of fabric inside a metal mesh. They work very well and seem to flow a lot of air. They use a special oil you get from the air filter maker (K&N). Clean them with soap and water, let dry, and then re-oil. With care, they last quite a while.

 

Paper filter are used on a lot of street motorcycles. They work good when new and clean. If they get wet, they stop passing air. When they dry out, they usually start working again, but don't flow air as well as before getting wet. The water seems to stick the paper fibers together hurting the air flow. If the bike has been sitting a long time, the paper filters absorb water from the air and this starts to plug them up. While you can clean them somewhat by blowing with compressed air the only real way to clean them is to replace them with a new one. These are cheap to make and you would think to replace, but most times the big manufacturers want a lot of money for a new paper filter. If you can find them, after market paper air filters work good, but they don't always make them for all the models of motorcycle out there. A cheaper alternative might be a foam or fabric air filter.

 

As any air cleaner works, it gets dirty. For a while, on filter elements that you oil, the dirt may actually help the filter work by attracting more dirt. However, sooner or later the dirt starts to plug up the filter and this makes the engine suck too much gas. This causes rich running that wastes gas and carbon fouls the spark plug. The cure ? Clean or replace the air cleaner at a regular interval. If you live in a dusty, rural area, you will have to service the air cleaner more often than if you ride in the city. If the engine is well worn it can start to pump a lot of oil vapor out of the engine breather. This can plug up the air cleaner too. Sometimes you will need to put a filter on the engine breather hose, to keep dirt out of the engine, and plug off where the breather hose enters the airbox.

 

So,take good care of your air cleaner. Be sure to get the stock ones.If you don't, sooner or later you will regret it !

 

 

RIDE SAFELY

guess this means.. you got your 2A already huh? hows the TP? was it ok?

any pointers on Bumpy course? *got a problem with that* ..

anyways... i did say before.. of the danger of 2A.. the minute u get it.. u will want to let go of the vara125..

 

One Small thing (about vara125) TO MENTION...recently since been pretty busy...i was not able to go 2nd link (JB) for petrol, so ive been using esso 98 and shell98... mainly what i discovered... bike seem to have more bloody power... better pickup.. i dont have this crappy draggy feeliong anymore...

 

so is it.. true that JB petrol that near the causeway or 2nd link is crap? (they add kerosene to it) ??

Hmm...

[Guest simone]

M actually not rushing to sell my varadero havent found a bike i like yet. Even recently someone sold a suzuki sv but it had alot of eletrical problems. M not getting a duke cos its way too expensive to mantain. Seems like an old second hand bandit, super four or impulse like a good buy. M intending to get me fren specII but the insurance at my current age is close to $800.

 

But nothing beats the elegant varadero with its cheap mantainence and running cost. I've nothing but awe whenever i ride this bike. Its like everytime i get on this bike it feels awesome. Guess it just suits my personality.

For bumpy course i just went stright over it got 4 points for that. its quite easy to pass and clear the rest of the course so just concetrate on the rest of the circuit and your strong points. u are given 20 points. So dont make silly mistakes like checking of blind spot esp at the junction. Also you are expected to accelerate esp after u've stopped at the stop line and at the start of the test.

 

Esp now in bbdc they are using new super fours which i belive has been de tuned cos the power delivery is super smooth and the accelration is more steady then the hornet. The hornet by far has more quicker accelration then the new super fours at bbdc. The new bikes are more easier to handle and the steering and stability is spot on.

simone>>> bro....why not you wait a little longer....then get your FJR!!!...Power!!....

[visual]

[simon] wah... suddenly i got this urge to contoinue my 2A.. actually s4 is quite a neat bike.. but year maintanence is heavy.. i mean even my vara125 maintanence.. i still complain....which 400cc bike huh.. uses only 2 spark plug.. and damm easy to mantian? bandit?

>> visual just take the 2A even if u dont get a bike maybe who knows when u about to retire u'll get a goldwing and crusie around the world with ya wife eheh

[Guest simone]

Oh Nazrin did u call BS honda to check bout the spark plugs. Its orginal ah bro whichever mech told u its fake ah hasn't seen one before. So he managed to get u in getting a super four one which is essentially the same as the one he told u was fake. Which shop did u go to man.

very informative bro. thanks for the great article.

 

anyway have u heard about grouding the electrical systems for our bike. From wat i gather by grouding the electrical system it will ensure a more steady flow of electricity thus anything on the bike that depends on the electricity will run more smoother i.e headlights signal lights and spark plugs.

 

I've read in the super four forums that those that have done grounding for their bike experience a more steady voltage on startup and experience more consistent acceleration and brighter headlights.

 

M a sotong when it comes to this kinda matters. However there is a drawing and exmaple on how this person manage to DIY the grounding cable maybe u might wanna take a look.

 

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forum/index....opic=75094&st=0

 

scroll down to the thread where boon21 posted some images.

 

Also i found out the booster (niti and varastommer is using) that i bought that is installed to the spark plugs wires has and additional third wire which i suspect is a grounding cable. Hence the booster is essentially provides grounding to the spark plug wiring.
