Very informative. Thanks.. Learnt quite a bit from this post.

 

So I think mine is normal. Talking about 2T, normally how to gauge when to pump now? Though there is an indiciator, but some say that better dun wait till the indiciator lights up. So now i running for almost 2k, (including the previous owner). So around how much more to up the 2T?

 

And because I dun know what brand of 2T the previous owner pump, he say $8 type, if got alot of white smoke, he uses the $12 ones. So is it okie to mix 2T? Or keep it as constant as possible?

 

Anyway after reading the posts, I feel that my SP is running normal miledge range, and I follow the advise stated to ramp at 3rd gear to clear the carbon.

No prob. This forum was meant for sharing. Like Slize said, its not too difficult to open up and check. If you can't see the 2t level clearly, shake the bike back and forth a bit, you'll see the 2t level tilt and you can then better gauge the level. SSDC instrctor taught me to check fuel tank level by shining a torch into the tank. You can use the light from handphone to shine into the 2t to see remaining level also. Dun use lighter hor

 

To me 2t is all the same la. Mid end range 2t serves me well. Only on NSH then i will use 2t gold for better high temperature lubrication. But to each his own. I find that Sg riding 2t gold produces more smoke, it may because its too thich and under-used. The right amount of lubrication should be properly combusted without leaving too much carbon emitted from your pipe. Do lube your chain once a week or 2 weeks now that you want to drag gear, to protect the chain and sprocket.

 

Decide for yourself the riding style you like. For me, i shiok shiok pull 3rd 4th gear and PEHHHH around. Lol... Its not about comsumption or clear carbon. Its just i feel like it and enjoy my ride. Cheers

Hey guys, other than the wheel balancing question I have.. Another question that I have is:

 

My ERP unit is currently mounted under the windscreen, (Previous owner) And the windscreen is cracking liao. So I want to know where can be the best place to mount this unit, without cracking the fairings, or the windscreen?

go buy a metal bracket and mount it on the metal bars that support the front of your bike.

huh ? u never turn your ignition to off ? why u cut the engine but never turn off the ignition ?

 

i did turn my ignition to off. wen the engine cut i i lock my handle bar n take out key. except headlight didnt off it.

[nGuOrEn]

i don't think tat if u didn't turn off ur headlight.. it will affect anything.. since there's no more electricity flowing.. but i do practise turning it off..

Thanks!!

eh u should just DIY cause they will charge u man. not worth it. it takes 15 mins

 

 

japsm: eh it wun affect your bike if u turned off the ignition and left the headlight on cause as guoren said there is no electricity going thru. but it is a good practice to turn off the headlights before starting your bike. it will save alot of battery in the long run.

realised that premix, must use much more 2t than using the pump. but premix, u got the kick =)

supposedly it is good for your bike but i think that unless u have to leave your bike there for a long period then best to turn it off.

 

if u are leaving it there for more than 2 days it is best to turn off and pull your throttle until the engine dies. that would drain out the fuel in your carb.

[LimHammett]

japsm: hmm.. maybe ur spark plug needs to be changed. or if u wan to start more easily, pull the choke and start.

 

happiness_1911: its not important lah, its advisable dat u put the fuel switch to off. this is to prevent ur carb from overflowing if ur float spoil or wat.

yeA...if pull choke already still hard to start, then its time ur spark plug needs to be changed...

OK,thanks,but wat u mean by "pull your throttle until the engine dies. that would drain out the fuel in your carb"

means, when u turn the knob to OFF, petrol from the tank will stop entering the carb.

but there will still be remaining petrol left in the carb...

so, to clear off the petrol in the carb, turn the knob to off, and rev ur bike till ur engine dies, means theres no more petrol in the carb...

Hey guys,

 

Today I had a weird encounter with my bike.

 

Was moving along smoothly, then suddenly bike died just like that.

Quickly moved to the nearest curb.

 

Switch on headlight still very bright, means got batt.

Neutral light not dim at all, means got batt.

 

Check petrol, which i just pumped ytd, and is still quite full.

 

Tried to start again but to no avail.

Tried using the choke and start but also no diff.

 

Rested for around 10mins, just thinking abt what happened. Then I try to start again, then the bike started. Rev'ed abit, then quickly put on my helmet and but by the time I put on, bike died again. But luckily this time, easily started then proceeded towards school again.

 

Anyone encounter sudden death like mine before?

Any comments?

Anyone knows what happened?

 

Thanks in advance.
