What fuel price increase again !! Zzz and to think I'm going to buy a car.

 

Wonder if it got to do with this report

 

Oil prices hit new record highs after crossing 70 dollars a barrel as powerful Hurricane Katrina threatened the crude-producing Gulf of Mexico region in the United States.

[darren_soh86]

the report is becoz petrol is produced from crude oil ma..

 

Gulf of Mexico is one big producer of crude oil.. it gets threaten by the hurricane.. so people balls shrink scared not enough oil if hurricane really strike.. so people buy more.. so supplies become insufficient.. so crude oil becomes expensive. so,

 

 

Petrol price go up.

NEWS CONFIRMED.

 

SINGAPORE, 29 August 2005. Effective from 6:00pm today, retail pump prices for Synergy petrol at all 77 Esso and Mobil service stations in Singapore will increase by nine cents a litre.

 

The following prices will apply to our various grades of petrol:

 

Old Pump Price New Pump Price

Inclusive of 5% GST Inclusive of 5% GST

Product ($/Litre) ($/Litre)

 

Synergy 8000 1.837 1.927

 

Synergy 5000 1.754 1.844

 

Synergy 2000 1.722 1.812

 

Synergy diesel remains unchanged at $1.17 per litre.

 

This increase in petrol prices is primarily due to high crude oil and wholesale petrol prices. The price of crude oil is at record high levels. In the past year, retail prices have not kept pace with the sharp increase in wholesale product prices. We have tried, for as long as we can, to shield our customers from this increase.

[Guest 6.5rpm]

hmm.. but guys.. wats the diff between a dry cell n wet cell?? which 1 is cheaper n better?

[tUnl3zaH]

hi everybody im new here. i have some questions to ask ah. my bike cant start after it has cooled down. this occurs especially at night. in order to start it, i have to push start it.

 

can anyone tell me what is the problem? i went to my bike shop and he said my carburetor choke and he washed it for me but it still happen. now my friend says maybe the battery is weak. my horn sounds lame and my headlight is dimmer as compared to my friends.

 

andy, did u have the same problem?

[CivicR]

Some riders prefer dry battery becos its much easier to recharge the batt, for wet I find it quite ok since U can see the balance of the content inside the battery, btw anyone know the avg lifespan of a battery?

Cld U be more descriptives on cool down? Is it park over night? Did U use open ur choke when U start? Try not to open the throttle when U kick start as too much petrol much flood the value. Another possibility cld be the battery, worst rectifier.

Since ur mech mention its carb and he already wash it why not go back and tell him problem still persist. Maybe he have another solution.

life span of 1 batt is 1 yr +++

Either change riding style or buy another type of bike. Btw when U pump petrol did U pump almost to the brink? Do check how much U cld pump each time when ur fuel reach reserve, if I'm not wrong U shld be able to pump ard 10 litres.

 

Other possibilities include, ur fuel pins, air filter, dirty carb.

[tUnl3zaH]

er.. my cooling down means arriving at the destination then go coffeeshop slack 2-3 hrs then i cant start the bike le. i pull choke also cannot start the bike ah.

sumtime it is not bout yer weak batt..

ya need to warm ya bike n throttle to make yer bike hav power.

when yer bike is on exactly da rite temp..

da horn n light will be better...

If you throttle more then your horn can work, it means your battery is weak. My sp last time also like this, turn throttle then horn will be louder. Its a sign that your battery is weak le.

 

I dont know that temperature can affect horn and lighting, what kinda logic is that?

Hmm need to check my batt also already since to have the similar sympton as andy ar bikes, mine is the horn though, I'm also using wet batt somemore a bigger capacity type ones.

Maybe you just need to top up the battery water only

1st, use the spanner that comes wif ur sp to loosen the pro-arm bolt

 

2nd, squating at the left side of ur rear wheel, use the C-tool that comes wif ur sp and slot it somewhere between ur rim and the pro-arm...turn clockwise to tighten...counter-clockwise to loosen...

 

Tighten it but not over tighten, else it might snap and u got a whole load of problem to handle

 

Gd luck!
