Hi. i've checked up on some other bike forums and apparently this is a problem with the 99' efi models since they are the first batch of efi models. I believe the later batches dun have such problems. The forums said that its got to do with the 'loom'..something to do with the wirings. I went to the bike shop at alexandra, Imotoring, and the fella told me to leave it there for a few days for them to check the problem. And my odo oso never fix properly for me. I hit redline in first gear at 4okph...which is definitely not normal. And while cruising at 80, my rpm reads 5000...something wrong right? And the bike really makan petrol man....220 and i hit reserve liaoz. Thanks for the advice though and thanks for the welcome. heh. As for the trip, i'm pretty interested to go. Any details?

[Gweester]

hi, im takala. jus bought a bb recently. i like touring, hope to join tis group for sum exhange of ideas and learn from 1 another.

here's my detail

takala Yishun Black

[louis21]

need help from u guys...wanna ask how come my BB most can hit 220 start to reserveliao...mi had pc3 from the previous owner..where can i get it tune back to stock ..how much..

[Dino Bravo]

its not so much to do with the PC3.

its more of your riding style.

my best bet is that you just got the bike not long ago.

still not yet get real used to it, you tend to use up more fuel. i dunno how to explain. but thats pretty much the case. when i first got my blackbird, i hit ard 230-240 reserve liao.

now i manage to hit 260-290. it varies quite a abit due to your riding style.

[dermano]

my first pump when i just got the bb, i only manage to hit ard 220 then went to reserve also...trying out again this time. hopefully can get more mileage out of it. But i've always tot bb can do above 300 since its a sports tourer

High FC means alot of thing, for example, ur tuning could be out , u haf compressions lost, ur riding style, the weight on ur bike, tyre pressure too low, tyre size,spoil wheel bearing and so on. All these contributes to higher FC. and it could suggest u may haf more den 1 of the faults. There are oso other factors (non-technical ones) like u nvr fill up as much as others(ie. some ppl fill up to bream, shake fill shake and fill, wait for petrol to settle and fill again. ) and u filled up only almost full nvr hit the bream.

 

Even 2 same bikes, same batch not necessarily means they should haf the same FC or about the same FC. there are alot of factors that affects the FC. the way they are run-in, style of riding(and the rest refer above)

 

dermano> from the way u post , my guess is that ur bike is not effecient. for the same amount of petrol u put in, u are not getting back what other birds got back, in terms of mileage. my guess is either u haf a major problem or u got many of those little issues stated as above.Pls do not misunderstand, I' m not a technical guy well verse in BB's mechanics or electronics. i just a normal guy riding a bird without much problems, hence my knowledge on bikes is pretty limited + haf to squeeze everything into my puny little brain. all that makes me a noob in bikes maintainence.

 

As for the trip, i hope u dun mind my suggestion. pls get ur bike fixed or at least know ur bike problem(if there is...... no offence) b4 going for any trips. theres always alot of trips coming. Be confident on ur bikes performence before signing up for any trips.

i agree wif dino, not much to do wif PC. but it could mean that b4 the previous owner sold to u, he got a performance exhaust or something other mods, he could haf just removed the exhaust without re-tuning the PC back to stock setting.

 

As for where to tune it back to stock config, maybe u can try loois motor, get the chief mech to do it for u, if u are not comfy wif loois, i dun really noe where to tune it. maybe our BB experts can help u *** me points at Dudu*** he can help u , he got lotsa of lobang, but he is a bz man , got skool got work , got many tiuz to goto, and now he is on his way up thai~~~
