hi guys, got a question to ask. Just brought a 2nd hand 04' vxr200 and just pumped full tank on tuesday and till now I have traveled 135km and its till above full tank! So I wonder if the fuel gauge is faulty or something?

 

I scare ride halfway on express fuel finish still it still gonna show me full tank.

haha

1 thing abt 04 vxr, it has a capacity for fuel ard 12.2 liters .. so no need to worry so much. but 1 thing for sure .. once the indicator drops, it drops fast. so do ur mileage counting so u can roughly figure how far u can travel.

Hi, wish to find out what can I do in order to improve the braking of the runner? I just bought the ST200 recently but find that the braking is not that fantastic and takes quite a long time to brake to a total stop.....where can I go to improve the braking (TaiHin/Future Scot?) and wat can be done and also roughly how much? Thanks!

[bongstar88]

change pad and brake hose .. stock brake not so fantastic but it last long.. brake pad ard 50. brake hose if front ard 80, if both ard 180. the previous model comes with rear steel braided hose, not quite sure for the current model.

Our fuel tank is L-shaped, the fuel float (fuel level indicator)

is at the red colour spot.

Thats why it will show u full tank even when u have used half tank..

When it starts to fall below the bend, u will see ur fuel meter drop very fast.

[TeRuNa]

ouh..ic...no wonder mine like dat oso...suddenly see my fuel guage drop so fast...hahaha..!!!Thanks sheep..!!and thanks to whoever asked this Question...

[rein_jahat14]

Thanks for that, I tried opening the bike up to explore, but just cant see the shape of the tank.

 

Btw another problem I have encountered with refuelling, I always get the petrol splashing out and the nozzle wont stop like it usually would on my old bike. So I wonder if I'm really swayed to encounter a pump with the spoilt fuel control twice, or is it common and there's actually a technique to pump without the petrol spilling and splashing on my bike DAMN!!

 

this is quite bugging me as it always splashes out and all over the place for my refuelling experience. I have to trouble myself to go collect water and clean up the whole mess.

Try to estimate how much u need, usually after the first click, i will pump slowly already. Overflow also happens to me sometimes, its due to the design of the petrol inlet. there is a bleed hole that prevents petrol from gushing out thru the petrol inlet.

Was told by TH that my rear suspensions (on my used 05 VXR) are non serviceable anymore. Recommended me getting aftermarket ones around $250. Would it be better if I found a pair of 2nd hand ones from the forum?

 

Also saw many removing their splash guards. Does anyone here have a 05 (single sided mounting) splash guard to sell? Thanx.

[bongstar88]

2nd hand 1, u dun noe their history .. so best get a new aftermarket 1.. the yss white 1 with gas i heard not bad.. price shd be ard the 1 qouted.. but ar bitubo is highly recommended!!! 5*!

[R.C.]

How much more will the Bitubo cost?

[sheep]

How much more will the Bitubo cost?

 

2-3 times the price?

[R.C.]

Thanx. Will stick with the sub $300 ones then.

[Kman]

thinking if getting a 2 stroke runner. how much problem will it give me.Is the relaibilty going to be horrible. I am getting it wif a months warranty for 1200 wif 5 yrs left. it does not look fantastic but the engine does not move when i kick start it unlike some that i have tried. pls be brutally honest at what can go wrong with this bike

[sheep]

Everything can go wrong with this bike. check its service hisory.

If there is no record, best is pump in money, get a full service and overhaul, change all tubings. After that, with regular maintenance, it can last u 5 yrs problem free if u dun intend to renew the coe.

[Kman]

yeah planning on doing tat its purely for transport. about 20 km a day hopefullly it last

[fcsega]

hi all, recently my fuel gauge does not give correct indication. Even when i pump full the indicator will be short of 2 bar. And after riding of just 90km from fuel tank the gauge will show only 3 bars. And the gauge also flauctuate very frequently.But the fuel consumption was normal from the calculation. What can be the likely cause? Any way to rectify?

[toyboxERZ]

a question, can i fill my coolant with water for the tiime being coz i think my coolant is leaking. btw how much is it cost to repair it? thankzz
