you said yr coolant leak from the left, have u been to shop to detect the source of leakage?

 

anyway which plate is yr bike?

 

 

I did not go to the the mechanic yet but just now, i managed to trace the source of the leak. it a major hose that joins form the engine to the radiator, i think..the hole is like a 10coin that big..

My bike is registered in 2003.. Any good workshop to recommend in AMK autopoint that specilaises in Vara? Thanks!

is wise to change all the hose for your vara if you want to ride long. it is strange that the fan does not turn on in this case of yours...

 

there are two shop, HKL in alexander V. and M-technik in Ubi. AMK never go ther before so dunno sorry.

try HKL at alexandra, prices are reasonable and services pretty good to my opinion

Hi guys..newbie reporting in..just got a vara 1K recently (carb model).. i am happy to say i enjoyed the bike very much and hope to learn more from all the vara owners down here..however, i just encountered some problems with my bike.. while i was travelling, the bike stalled, after 1 crank it satrt again..but after riding for 15mins, there was coolant leak on the left side..the temp shot up and even i reaches the mid line from the temp gauge, the fan did not kick in..

Was wondering what seems to be the problem? I remembered i top up coolant a day before as it was was almost empty..wonder is it a thermostat / hose problem? Appricate all your suggestions and feedback..

Btw, any reliable workshop to recommend that specialises on our vara? I stay around sengkang area. Thanks and have a good week ahead!

 

Welcome bro....temp shot up is common for vara especially when u stuck in the jam under Hot weather.....if u want to confirm the fan not working...just see if the needle reach 3/4 mark....usually my fan start to work somewhere above the mid point when stuck in jam. Best is replace the whole new rubber hose & flush the radiator (recomend to flush your raditor & replace your coolant 1-2yr). I would recomend using Engine ice for your coolant change.

Pm me your contact & will contact u for our regular meetup at simpang bedok for kopi..Hope to Cu soon.

 

 

Coolant change & flushing u can try unique motor at Ubi.....very pro in doing it (i think they wasted alot of water in flushing my bike radiator with the running hose....can see all the rust coming out).

101) I just rememebered one more thing.. digital callipers becuase in case after the long ride must measure the thread... if too much wear out then must change...

102) Spare set of tyres (refer to 101)

 

No need, got 20 cent coin enough to measure safe tread depth.

 

Figure out how far you're going and get new tyres before you go, might not be able to find make / size you want on the road.

Only 550 & 660 got BlueTooth, I tried the Nuvi, screen is too small to operate with gloves on IMHO, unless you got long fingernails ;-)

Atwin >> Wat cup u prefer? the traditional ceramic mug or 'flask-mug' type?

 

AJ >> bro, u wana baseball cap or the 'matrep-never-sit-on-head' type..*LOL

 

Other ideas:-

1) Cup

2) Cap

3) Small towel

4) Dry-Fit T-shirt ( good for wearing inside touring gear )

5) Badge Pin

.........

 

Just my 2 cents...
