Everytime my coolant water decreases, i top it up using normal tap water.. Is it ok to do that or must i top it up using coolant water? Is that one of the reason y the coolant pump spoil so easily? I juz change like 1 yr ago nia..

Guys, gonna need some advice badly.. Today when i riding home, suddenly the reading for the themostat shoot up to the maximum High (means vertical upwards) and when i park my bike, i smell a burning smell near my back tyre there.. And one more thing, when i full throttle my bike, i can hear a crunky sound at the rear tyre.. Anyone experience this before? Can provide some advice? I fear the burning smell, is it dangerous to continue riding.. Please advise.. Thanks..

 

Ho say..ur coolant pump bearing gone liao..nid 2 change 2 new 1 loh!!!mi also kana like dat juz last month..mi never use tap water 4 coolant..mi juz use distilled water coz mi heard tap water produces rust earlier..tink coolant pump below 200 can get liao..

guys.. check out the scratches at the side

 

not sure whether it can be saved, anyway what's the price to change this part of the cover?

 

also, how much does a side mirror cost? do I have to change it in pairs or can I get one only?

 

thx

tap water can use but not advisable as said it corrodes faster..

use normal castrol can already..only a few dollars per bottle..

F-king hell...juz now park in far east plaza..dan someone else stole my speaker cover. Dan juz b4 i left de carpark when i park bike, saw a pearl white x9 amalfi which looks veri familar. So went over 2 take a look. Saw dat it was missing a speaker cover. Mi dan park bike at de lot in front of it n left. Dat was b4 i return 2 de carpark n found mi cover was missing on 1 side of de speaker!! N dat bugger also gone liao!!! Hope de thief crash n die ah!! NBCCB!!! If anione spots a pearl white x9 amalfi wif white side mirrors, top box modded wif sub woofer, a pair of jbl speakers wif COVER. Plz call de police!! Singapore veri small 1, wan 2 find veri easy1..N if u r de bugger reading tis...U BETTER RETURN MY COVER!!!

 

hummm.... white colour, with sub-woofer? custom top box with JBL woofer? is it a x9 250? I should know him, if yes, it may not be him as his JBL speaker at front is a 6" speaker. Yours i think is 5" right?

 

bro, you can come to me, i may have spare

[kennyseaw]

pearl white with sub woofer box? maybe u can ask Elton ... sounds like his previous bike. Anyway, not many places can do this kind of mod. So u can track down quite easily

 

I thought I have also seen a similar bike at the Scooter Outing at Little Bali. Is it P-Plate?

 

Elton never fix sub-woofer

[kennyseaw]

Ha..at first i also tink is elton's ex bike..same brown seat...but as i compare de pic dan i dan realise dat bike has amalfi mirrors..gonna ask him on mon who he sold his bike 2...damn dat bugger..

 

brown colour seat... i think is the same person we talkin about. is a x9 250 honda engine.

did you check the coolant level? any leaking from the water pump? my advise is better dun ride and send it for check ASAP.

is better to top up coolant water to prevent it from getting rust

[kennyseaw]

I tink i've figure out what's wrong.. I checked the coolant, it's dry! And i try to refill it, i saw the coolant leaking near the rear tyre.. Is it that the coolant pump spoil? How much will it cost to change it? Haiz..

 

Do not ride anymore or it will cause more things to give way like ( magneto anf magneto coil) et it check ASAP

you got to re-place whole coolant pump if spoil. Try not to repair as it will not last long
