Hi pple, today i encountered some problems. my LCD the 'OIL' n 'SERVICE' indicator keep flashing. den after i ride a while it stopped. when i restart the bike it light up again. anyone know whats the problem? I just changed oil n spark plug 1000km ago.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks

 

 

Don't need to worry to much, it is just a factory setting, just get it reset if you have done the sevice. X9 180 reset button is located in the front cover, you will just to take out 5 small screw if you wanna do it yourself.

i think your friend is not riding X9 ba..

the price of 38 is kips.

right?

cause the cable cost less then 20dollars plus labour.

so 38 dollars..

 

for x9 if you go shop change need about 75dollars

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

Wow DIY. can teach me how to DIY?

 

teach ar.

you take remove the fornt panel remove the fornt wheels

then remove the senor which is on the ride side if you are facing the bike.

install the new one plug it into the wire

done already.

then install back the fornt wheel and fornt panel.

and you are done.

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

best is that you can afford to do it at bikeshop.

i;m doing it at my own risk.

Thank you. May you suggest some place and location where can buy cheap X9 parts?

[rayhunter]

evo is so worthless now? i rather keep a 2nd bike then to sell it for $2.5K!

 

 

but the maintaince is another headache even though it's for 2nd bike..

if another 1 or 2 yrs still can fetch $1.5K above,i'm happy liao..

Guess the reason that why there are still so many unsold X9 in shop...want to sell high..dun think anyone would want to pay $5.2K for a FZ X9 machine price...plus insurance the total price would KILL you!!

nothing is cheap for piaggio, recently just heard that the front fork price increase nearly to 1k le... usual price was around $600+

 

last time per original belt cost you about $70-$75, now $115-$130

 

how about coolant pump, last time was about $100, now is about $200

 

i have been riding X9 for the past going 4 yrs soon, hate to see the price keep going up but wat to do, i love my ride and i have ride it up north so many time without problem at all
