HEADACHE.......REALLY .. =.= ~~~

[xxiaoxinn]

haha okie my seat problem is okie nw . erm is actually like when i come in a complete stop in the traffic light , when we need move off we need to trottle , at tat time of trottle , i pick up gradualy but it didnt move , untill awhile. Oh ya also do gillera change gear? When it changes gear izzit meant to have a little draw back force then move forawrd againz?haha last question , where to get cheap and nice sticker done ???? TYTYTYTY

[Reese]

there is the immobilizer system if ur ride is a VXR

without the master code key, u still cant start ur bike even if u buy a duplicate key becoz there is a process to program the new key using the master code key

as ur bike is still under hire purchase... naturally they will be holding onto the master code key so i suppose SGD$60 or SGD$120 u still have to pay them...

[Reese]

try to throttle more... there is a little freeplay before the gear is engaged

[retro-dots]

woah..... thats really expensive ... sigh, my poor bike is still tanglin at takashimaya pavement damn it ........ im so afraid that when i got the key and try to start the engine,sure very very very hard to start .... siggggh ... and its gonna be very dirttty

 

so no poeple ever lost their bike key yet ?

Sure bro tazzy!

 

its sista to you, my friend...hahaha

[Reese]

well... i've lost mine before too

but my ride was not on hire purchase... so i was holding onto the master code key as well & during purchase i oredi bought another spare key so no problem for me

anyway if i rem correctly the spare key cost abt $20+ so ur bike shop is really charging an exorbitant price for a simple "insert key, twist & hold for 3 sec etc etc"

scary scary runner

since ur runner is still on warrenty, Go back to PSC, call Bikeambulance to tow it there and let the mechanics to think of the solutions, for u, dun do anything to my bike.

hey bro, let me give u the highly likely correct ans to ur situation cos i have experienced the exact same thing before.

 

the reaction is caused by the accumulated clutch dust in the clutch and belt housing. as u know gilera clutch is a dry clutch, meaning it doesnt mix with with the 4t. just think of it being similar to a honda pgm4 dry clutch.

 

the accumulated clutch dust causes clutch slip, meaning the clutch spins but due to the reduced friction on the plates, it just glides over. at times, you may hear a "grinding" sound coming from the engine area but dont worry too much about it.

 

read below for what you need to do. you need some basic tools definitely.

 

remedy : u need to open up your engince cover to access your clutch housing and components. remove all the belt and clutch housing and use a degreaser or a lilt petrol and clean the internals. dont worry about you EO as they are seperate.once cleaned, you may want to check the clutch pads and use some sand paper to clean the surface or use a saw to create some extra grooves in the pads. btw the pad originally have no grooves on them. this is just a small modification which will not affect any moving parts other than to create more friction between the plates and the pads. no other parts need to be modified or changed.

 

after this has been done, my gilera was back to normal....

so no poeple ever lost their bike key yet ?

what makes you say ur bike is hard to start ?

 

in a normal engine operation, the internals of the engine have already been coated with a thin film of EO and this lubricates the moving parts.

 

 

some possible causes of difficult starts :

 

carb flooding : if your bike is new, the chances of this happening is low. but if your bike is a few yrs old, ask your mech to check you carb float valves and pin. they may be worn out.

 

using the wrong Plug : check ur manual what you should you but then ask yourself what kindo of riding u are doing. more stop go or more expressway rides. i would go straight for NGK iridium plugs and set my heart at rest.

 

EO : using the wrong or rather not-advisable oil weight may cause starting problems. our bike manual recommends 40w oils. So using a 50w is not advisable. I have personally tried to use both to see what effect it had. in short my FC was better on a 40w but on a 50w, my oil change was much later with no adverse effect. if i had a 30w oil, i would use it. too bad silkolene does not have a 30w oil for bikes at the moment.

 

my bike is all stock. i keep it that way since i value my FC and i use it for my transportation rather than for speed.

 

on the other hand, y dont u tow back your bike to your house. y let your expensive bike be the subject of weather, bird stools or even vandalism? for all you know, you bike might be lying on its side instead of its mainstand. no pun intended but wat is $20 bux towing fee if we can prevent such bad things...... u decide.

bro check your clutch. they are not worn but probably needs some cleaning

you have the right to retrieve you key and go direct to PSC.

 

your bike shop is charging you the service fee and that is fair on their end but unfair to u.

 

but if they say they cant release the key, ask them for some justification. u dun owe them anything other than your instalments. have a kopi session with them if things do get difficult.

Hey speaking of the fan, check with you guys.

How powerful is the fan supposed to be?

Mine blows out hot air, but can't really hear it.

My friend's runner sounds like aeroplane!

The fan super powerful. After he get off the bike, the fan still spinning.

Sounds like a standing fan but on max power.

So which is normal?

dat would just mean that your friend's bike is overheating. im very sure overheating is not a good thing.

 

ask your friend to check his coolant level just incase.

 

for u, dun worry lah.

 

worst come to worst, ask mtor tiam fix a turbo timer to switch on your fan when u stop. thats wat cars do......

 

dont worry too much lar....
