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...

That day i go full service, mechanic siphon some of my fuel to clean my engine parts... V power leh.... heart pain see him use my V power to clean parts...

Hey lilshah83, thanks for your reply. I will try to do some preparations to try and avoid this from happening.

 

Just wondering, I haven't really had a look at the fuel cap yet, but anyone tried putting a rubber band (or something similar) around the fuel cap before closing it? To try and stop water from sipping in?

 

I am finding it very disturbing to know that this may be a problem to me when I least expect it :-(

It happened to me two days back, the rain came, my bike in the open. Engine die on me on the road.

 

Now, I allow the engine to run the water out of the system for 5 mins (water heavier than oil) and before move off.

 

Please note that the Gilera handbook do not recommend to use fuel 92 (anything 95 and above is acceptable ).

the rubber thingy is on the correct track but dunno if it might work...but the idea of putting something to prevent water leaking in from the fuel cap is correct]

 

im not using a 06vxr but seen quite a number up close...i suggest spend sometime observing how the stuff work so some prevention ideas might juz pop out

All that can be found @ these scooter shops... either sunrise, tai hin or future scootering...

i really love the runner vxr. Twist and Go, relac jack ride. No hassle of using all my hands and legs to move. How much you pay to spray your bike design? How many days in shop to prepare and paint and let dry??

My VXR exhaust pipe is rusty, not at the end can, but nearer to header portion. It is a stock pipe and I believe lots of vxr riders experience it. How you all deal with it?? spray new coat DIY or go bike shop?? Or change to aftermarket exhaust system??

How much money do you want to spend?

 

12 bucks will buy you a good quality exhaust paint (Tong Aik do sell this).

3 bucks should get you a good quality wire brush (hardware shop near you)

 

Brush exhaust.... wipe clean

 

Unleash the Picasso within you.

 

 

Or whip out your wallet and buy an aftermarket exhaust....
