WR200 United

[Naz]

This one Rookie taught me when I encountered overheat on my WR200 when I just bought him..

 

Open up ur radiator cap. Start ur bike. Look at the water. If it's swirling, the pump is working.

 

If it's not.. *shake head*

 

 

kekeke hope it works and thanks Rookie for the lesson back then.

[phatish]

so i open the radiator cap and just start the bike? or wait till the bike warm up first? anyway which kind of fork is better? the normal or the inverted kind?

[Naz]

yes open the radiator cap and just start it.. look whether the water swirls or not..

 

Inverted kind is better cos there are no dead weights. More effective suspension handling.

[phatish]

but it seems that inverted fork oil always leaking...is it true?

[Naz]

yes its true.

 

i cant give u an expert view lah cos i also noob.

but i think, its just the way gravity are. since inverted fork means the oil reservoir is on top, henceforth the weight of it all is bore by the seals causing greater wear and tear and eventually leak?

 

Again, very sorry if i am wrong.

[phatish]

i think u are right...

[Naz]

really ah?

 

where's my prize?

usually got a overflow tank when the radiator heats up the water just go into this tank.. is this the same for wr2?? the previous bikes i rode all have it.. then again those are Sp150, Shadow and phantoms, correct mi if wrong.

i using premix, anyone got comments abt it?? i find it troublesome to keep a 2t bootle with me but my bikeshop friend/mechanic says he will fix a small detachable bottle under my plastic, enough to mix for a full tank. he says premix better and cleaner, not much white smoke.. true or not? i trust him loh since he old friend liao...

for this, afaik, still have. there's a yamaha spares dealer near jln besar. i dunno the exact address though. but i bought my end can, clutch cable and even my 2T container cap from there so i think they should still have WR2 parts.

[phatish]

[GARFISH]
