Varadero 125

1) where is the place (pm or sms me-some ppl dun like me advertising)

2) did they already have stock for the air filter (yup 2sets-dunno if other v125 non forummer buy it oredi)

3) tuning 9what tuning is this?) how the heck they tune

4) is the cabs very dirty that it needs to be cleaned so often? (for my case yes due to off road & i used to use mod air filter which has great pick up but damages da carb in da long run-dirt all go into da engine, so better use original back but slack in power )

thanks...

btw here is a clue for da workshop....hehe!

Anyone encounter this problem before??

Today as usual i parked my bike in school in the morning. When i was about to go back at around noon. When i start my bike, my clock and tripmeter had reset. Could this be due to one of the fuses blow? Cos i remember it only happen when i start my bike. I only realize that the time was 12.00 at the clock display panel when i start the bike. So it had to have reseted when i start the bike.

Could there be any short circuit in any of the wirings cos i had not encounter this problem before?

Any comments on this bros

huh!... so im not the only one with this problkem but my bike has more painful issues but for this issue.. easy to solve...

what i did was

1) locate battery

2) unscrew the batt contact terminals,

3) clean it abit, spray some wd40 (if you want lah)

4) when its all clearn , screw back like how it was when u took it out..

*for me, my bike time.. since has not yet.. reset *previous... some times in one day can reset 2-3 times and can even reset while im riding!!!!!!!!!!!*

for mow my batt is dying... do u guys think a dying battery can hamper the bikes performance as in getting the rpm to go 11?

cos now i cant seem to go beyond 10 rpm!!!

i hope its the batt or sparkplugs...

prodero, thanks for the info...

dunno bout battery dying...cos when i take over the bike...battery quite new.....must ask those old timers.....

anyway...lately i've not been blasting my bike....in expressway only travel at a safe 80-90 only....morning traffic quite bad....better be safe...

used to go at 110-120 last time....cos i always travel at night expressway quite empty....

now quite difficult for me to reach 110...not like last time...

going to service my bike soon...maybe will let u all know if there is any difference...

for those who had just change to new air filter, oil filter, engine oil, spark plugs at one go....is there a significant difference?

------

Al-simmons >> bro, just a suggestion here. try to zoom in the following wiring circuit since both of these stuff was installed recently.poorly grounded or loose connections could probably be the case.also for $9 get an analog voltmeter (panel type) @ SLT. dont have to fix it permanent. will come in handy for trouble shooting purpose. good luck.

1) Hazard light

2) Fog light

3) got any repairs done recently?

btw, hazard light project still onzz. PM me to discuss further.

DaNiYal >> bro,you got map to Bekok waterfall? thanks.

Visual >> bro,...a major concern on a dying battery is whether are you able to start your bike the next morning or even after a short stop later. IMO…the rpm thingy is more of a tell tale sign of spark plug performance. ever notice or make comparison to each and every spark plug change? how long later the rpm begins to fall below ‘normal’. had encounter 6 rpm at full throttle anyone ?

...so the best bet and cheaper some more, change the spark plug (stock ones) first. just my 2 cents.

Al Simmons: I believe the problem is the batt. I kena before. Changed new batt everything okie... But the source of the problem could be ur new wiring thus eating up ur batt volts...

aikon, i got a feeling you are right... the current spark plugs im using is denso... just changed it like 11/2 months ago only.. and its crap-up already... i htink i have to get NGK, cos my last was NGK, and the bugger cna give me up to 3 months ... will change that today.. hopefully... by the way NGK spark plug (for our bike) anyone knows the market price? is $9 pricy?

AirFilter

About air filter... (im abit confused to how many to order.. as per piece can go up to 70-80*incl delivery*) im proposing this idea...*as i dont think i got enough cash to handle too many air filter

Who ever wants the air -filter (transfer $50 to my account) *and then transfer the balance after i got the item*

so far people who wants the air filter are..

- Visual (2 Pcs)

- Aikon (1 Pcs)

- Daniyal (1 Pcs)

- Varastormer (2 Pcs)

- New Suit (1 Pcs)

Total = 7 Pcs

The delivery will be done via AirMail (UPS, so its trackable and insured againts damage or loss) it will arrive about 1 1/2 week after order is confirmed..

My Posb Saving (056-43340-6)

My Handphone (97532020)

i hope to order by this Monday, after transfer do SMS me (with your Nick)

SHAHRUL · August 18, 2005

AL-Simones>>>i've face the same problem like urs time n trip meter re set suddenly...cannot be battery rite as for my bike is new....must be the wiring..later when fixing the hazard lite must see the rest of the wiring..something must be loose...n i'm thinkin to buy a FAT BAR handle as my current handel bar "Bengkok" any ideas how much is the handel bar?
