Juz went to PSC during lunch break.

 

saw the Nexus 500.... Impressive header, also awesome Pipe and nice suspensions.

 

i was standing there, thinking... since runner is the younger brother of Nexus, shouldn't the younger one have all the goodies stuffs of the old bro?

i have been getting around 30km/l , which makes me very happy:cheer:

 

topping up petrol at above,210km on the trip meter before topping up to about 7-7.2 litres of petrol

 

but i am surprised as to why some people are getting 22- 23km/l

more people should share their fuel consumption:confused:

 

btw i only reach 1600km in total

OIC now i know why there is a buzzing sound cause me still runig in the bikelah

maybe for the box i will try to ask ASphoon cause my bike shop do not provide

the box lah.Anyway the Piaggio Service Centre informed that they will be sampling with

nexus bracket to see whether can fit or not and if ok then he will start to place order.

Is tis the one u looking for?

hmmm...what speed r u going at normal travelling?

 

My friend advised me to force run-in.... cos when i ride slow, the bike cannot engage to a higher gear... that is why waste petrol....

 

hmmmmmmmm..............

[nor_man]

during run in [below 1000km] i was riding below 80km sometimes as slow as 60km/h:giddy:

 

above 1000km i am going at the road speed limit .rarely hitting 95km above, me no speed demon, me treasure life:smile:

 

perhaps u should try to ride until your fuel indicator bar is gone then top up. petrol.

i believe u still have some where about 1 litre in reserve[ 20-30km] to ride

 

then take the trip meter reading divide by the amount of petrol that goes in

 

maybe riding till the petrol is near empty and topping up when tank is half full gives u a different reading, try it:cheeky:

[danz]

i was riding all the way below 80km/h or the most 80km/h.

 

Now i have ride 410km.

 

Yesterday, i pump 6.8 Litres for 157km.

 

When i do my calculations, it is ard 23.1km per litres...

 

I think i try to change engine oil and see how it goes...

 

It is quite werid as we are all riding the same bike with same engine but we clock different mileage.

[Reese]

mostly i would say is due to riding styles

perhaps you could try adopting a diff style everytime u topup petrol

den again... wad petrol r u pumping?

with a 23km/ltr mileage it sounds like u r pumping V Power...

[BRIANKTM]

hi guys i just downpay a new vxr 06 dragon red....got it for 7k all in.....plus box n erp.........uurm not sure got helmet n raincoat....hahaha...

 

i used to ride the old vxr...and love this bike every bit........so i hope the new one wont upset me..collecting tommorow...

Yah that is the one i was ask to do but it seems wasted lah drilling into the back like that

Cause when i opened the back and unscrew everything i find that rear part where they wanted to drill the hole is quite empty,just worried that the thing might crack if i put too heavy stuff into it?

Anyway where did you do it (it is at ASphoon?) if yes mind asking for me how much ?

i cant say for definite that 95 is more economy for u

but it certainly is for me

perhaps u should try re-tuning ur ride 1st

1 of the reasons could be due to too much fuel too little air

if vice versa u shud experience backfiring

anyway try to re-tune 1st & stick to 98 for the moment lor

u got to try thru trial & error to find out what's best for ur runner

:smile:

[sheep]

8000 burns more efficeintly, thus slightly more power. response is better also. It is more recommended for performance engines or people who really want the best for their transport.

5000 is more than enough for most engines. My runner i use 8000 cos i want the best for my engine and also becos i ride less often. hehe

[adven7]

For Runner, the fuel minimum recommended is unleaded 95.

 

Not all 98 are the same, I pump 98 with one brand and decide to switch another brand, realise that not only the power is different, the sound produce also slightly different. Check it out.

[Reese]

different petroleum companies add their own mixture of additives into the petrol

only thru trial & error will u know which is the best for ur ride in terms of FC & performance

[neurunner]

hopefully nothing goes wrong again..

bro, u should have ask them what went wrong and what they did to your bike.

but nevermind, enjoy your ride:cheer:

just went for my 2nd servicing.... damn disappointed loh.

 

1. my appointment was at 9am... end up the psc staff came at 930am... i sit outside like idiot for 30mins wondering whether are they going to open or not.

 

2. aft that... the mechanic book in my runner for servicing.. told them i wanted to change the coolant,he just tell me no nid change... mayb top up... told him abt the buzzing sound,he say will check.. wanted to tell him to check alignment n also the fc... he din even bother to hear...

 

3. aft that.. he drove my bike in to the servicing pit.. said that i cannot go in... ask me go haf breakfast and come back later... i went away for abt 1hr.. aft i come back.. the auntie at the counter say ok liao... then nothing else...

 

is tis the correct way of servicing,they simplily dont care not even telling me wad is happening? or m i tinking too much ??

 

btw..anyone got pics of the evo helmet? i tinking of buying helmet to match the bike.. i using ogk wan leh.. hw much it cost ah for ogk n oso evo? any recommendation for a nice helmet that dont look so bulky??
