Hi I've just bought a Gilera VXR 200 and am now waiting for my bike to arrive later this month. I've been reading a lot of this thread and I notice some people saying that water will get into the petrol tank. I have some questions with regards to this:

 

1) Does this affect the 05 or 06/07 models? Not clear to me when some of the members of this forum say they are having this problem

 

2) If this affects the 06/07 models, is there a way to rectify/prevent the problem?

 

3) I saw some people saying that Piaggio is looking into the problem. Any idea if a solution is in place already?

 

Thanks in advance for your kind responses. It's been raining a bit lately and I am a little concerned of this. Thanks.

wah... dun really know how to answer ur qns leh....

 

it affects mostly 06/07 models since our fuel tank opening is on the outside and VERY accessible for the rain... wahhaha..

 

How to rectify..? i still haven find that answer... other than covering up your bike when not in use or park in a multi storey carpark... if ur riding... then bo pian... unless u want to step on the cover all the way... or put a piece of plastic over it. untill those people @ piaggio can do sumthing about it... we muz be creative...

 

Its an Italian bike... and from what i know... it doesn't rain much in Italy... so maybe the designers dun take this into consideration when they designed the bike. so we singaporeans muz suffer...

 

Maybe when u change ur engine oil, ask ur mech to drain the fuel tank also lah... then can remove any water inside @ the same time...

 

Hope it helps...

Hi all , i am getting a runner soon in the end of this month , but i would like to know wat the different between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke runner ? and also 05 runner better or 06 ? sorry i kinda noob.

2 stroke must use 2T ---- more money spent coz pay for fuel & 2T

2 stroke faster...

2 stroke got kickstart

 

actually i dunno how to explain the difference coz i never use 2 stroke runner before... LoL...

 

between 05 and 06... its mostly user preference... the outlook is totally diff. so diff people may like either one. as for performance... it shld be the same unless u mod ur bike...

 

dun flame me... LoL...

[spy622]

vxr05 n 06 is different in terms of looks and some of the following details

 

meter: 06vxr features a tachco n digital speedo

wheels: 06vxr runs on 14" 120/70-14 front n 13" 140/60-13 rear while the 05" runs on 12" 120/70-12 front n 12" 130/70-12 rear

brake disc: 06vxr has a 240mm front disc compare to 05" 220mm

dry weight: 06vxr is 6kg heavier than the 05" vxr

fuel tank: 8.6l for 06vxr n 12.2 for 05vxr

 

 

2stroke runner?? Mostly or maybe all shld be age of 3yrs n above, usually slightly higher FC than vxr, not enviormental friendly, noisy, orginal born wif poor handling...if in gd condition n well maintain it means a lighter and faster scoot compare to the vxr but if in bad condition it is call trouble, problem and $$ waster...buy only if ur looking for a small CC "powerful" scoot kinda idea in mind wif some extra cash to spend..if not stick to the no so slow but steady n "reliable" vxr

wah... rich sia...

Use Vpower to travel and also clean ur parts...

[Reese]

play around with the different types of petrol

not necessarily that Vpower is the best for ur ride

initially i pumped Vpower too... but i found out that 98 gives me the best FC & power & surprisingly 95 performance dun lose to Vpower as well

[Reese]

the additional cons of getting an automatic bike is that if ur battery dies, u can't push start it

for 2 stroker there is still a kickstart but for 4 stroker... either u get a slaving cable or call tow

it is quite essential to check battery water level on a regular basis & to monitor voltage as well

ya2..AGREE with reese..using 98 or other fuel ur COmsumption quite better ..it burn the fuel slowly2..kkeke..if vpower...woohoo..veri fast2 blink already...

 

CHEERS

was juz trying the Vpower that day... suay lah... wahahha... wrong timing... LoL

 

and i stay in tampines..

[Bensim]

I find pumping V-power is more power on runner. But i find the pumping 92 95 the fuel eat more and no power. Pumping 98 or V give better fuel consumption.

[Reese]

if i'm not wrong... b4 the 06 version was officially launched, i rem reading the specs off some website that indicated the fuel capacity was 12.2L as per the 05 version, but proven otherwise

perhaps the publisher themselves made a mistake...
