Just helped a couple friends inspect and tune up their 'new' Phantoms. If you need any tips we have a little arsenal of secret techniques for maintenence and riding

I do believe that there are some issues with my wirings. That's not too healthy, is it?

[burnnnn46]

Bike won't start now. I still have fuel, spark plug's new, battery was pretty charged until I tried to eStart it excessively. Have I overlooked something here?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Think I can take a look at it this evening?

 

Btw, make sure the fuel switch is on. Otherwise it will never start ;p

[Icomeforyou]

Will the engine turn over? can push/kick start?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

@Icomeforyou is a Phantom expert hor. Dun pray pray

[burnnnn46]

haha, but i already called for tow service. Will update about the status as soon as I get any news from the shop.

Aiyoh, next time wait for forum reply first - the Phantom Knights are renown for being able to fix up their own bikes. @Silent Hunter even does search & rescue

 

Later shop call back and report back small issue but charge big price = heart pain.

[burnnnn46]

hahah, still newbie ah. Next time must ask you guys for help already ah.

Lol you are kidding. I have been given to know prospective 'clients' on the forum run away seeing the raven haired one in a leather suit. Someone has to tell them I am not Mad Max LOL.

Apparently, the ignitor coil had issues. :|

Once replaced, new one should last for many years (not one of the parts we can DIY). Which bike shop did you go to btw?

 

Just curious, as we (PKs) more or less know which are the good and the not so honest shops.

[burnnnn46]

Southern motors, heard some bad reviews, but still had the warranty for it so I might as well right.

 

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT, just now, after visiting a friend in little india, when I inserted my key and tried to turn the bike on, nothing would start. In the end wind up push start, then go pump gas, and then push start again then go home.

 

I really do believe that there is a major, major issue with my wiring. Is there anyway to change it? Cuz I've seen the wires, they don't look too pretty. Getting them fixed would probably mean just more insulating tape being wrapped here and there. =(

[burnnnn46]

I'm considering just winging it and changing mechs. Which would you recommend?

 

P.S okay i just found out about the edit post function. Sorry for whacking the posts own time own target style.

check the battery, plug cap, rectifier, spark coil, magento coil.

where you stay?? i assume woodlands...lol...

 

pm if you wan go shop walk walk ih the west, got a trusted mech

[Icomeforyou]

haha actually well i think phantoms don't waste time, just go to a mech you are comfortable with, disregard the "warranty".. its too much of a hassle to run to bukit merah every now and then unless you stay there of course =P
