from wat u described, it could be the spark cable/gun shocked when riding in wet weather.

 

instead of directing current to spark plug, it is shocked due to water n current jump to engine chasis thus no spark in combustion chamber.

 

u might want to change it with after market NGK or Denso spark cable/gun (gun is the hard plastic connector to spark plug).

 

i might be wrong but this is a common cause when riding in rain.

 

another common cause is water in carburator, occasionally drain carb when u have problem riding or starting the bike.

Uncle Soh.. You're defenitely right!

 

Last nite I checked my RW spark gun and found that the gun's edge (mouth) has broken apart into small pieces inside the 'O' rubber which cover it. The spark plug body also got mark of water existence. Think that's the main reason why the engine dies off when riding in rain. I guess the previous mechanic who changed my spark plug did broke the spark gun and cover it back with the rubber. Said that they were Daelim authorized dealer but the mech didn't know exactly how to change spark plug on RW. I noticed that when I got my RW serviced by them (change oil, filter & spark plug) a few months back, the mech just pull roughly the spark cable gun from the top of the cylinder head cover instead of removing the spark plug cover..:mad: Since that, I prefer to DIY when it comes to regular service on my RW.

 

Anyway, thanks Uncle Soh for highlight me of spark gun cable. Otherwise I wouldn't notice that my RW spark gun had been ruined and keep on looking for other reasons caused my RW engine dies..

don't really see the point of feeding compressed air, pointless for rw.

it is not uncommon for big bikes to have nitro feed to boost extra power.

 

to boost up rw power, three points on carb setting is all u need to do.

1) pilot screw - loosen (anti-clockwise) by 1/4~1/2 turn.

2) jet-needle eclip@slot - 3rd or 4th.

3) accelerator cam cable adjustment - turn full throttle with no play, tighten up by 0.5~1mm (caution - don't over tension it as there r no more room or something else will break).

u shouldn't trust wat he say.

best u should buy a unmodified 200cc bike.

 

even run below 60kph, my FC is 37km/l n this was during my engine break-in.

now my normal riding avg FC is 30km/l.

 

cka is daelim agent in sillypore, so they have to abide by conditions set by daelim.

like any company, they r here for business to make money.

so u pay for their services n products as u see fit.

 

$3.6k is cheap(2yr old) compare to $7k(new).

but do u really like RW?

it is not a fast bike.

it vibs.

max speed 110kph.

 

youngster want faster n powerful bike.

as 4 me.

i simply luv riding RW.

n tat is why i got it.

hmm.. 100 km/hr should be alright for me, im not gonna speed thou..

too dangerous after my friend skid his cub after expressway at filter lane, and i hurted my knee cap cus im his pillion i given up the thoughts of going sport bike..

 

 

so wat the uncle sae bout 42km/l is not real.

they dun sell unmodified 200 cc 2nd hand RW ..

only 125cc as 2nd hand and 150 cc first hand RW on sale. there isnt 200 cc RW ..

 

hmm. but for a newbie rider , is RW a recommendable bike?

cus im gonna spend 3.6k to get it excl. insurance coverage compared to my friend whom spend 1k to get his cub incl. of insurance, road tax, etc..

 

so for this bike, max speed can hit only 110kph? cant go any higher?...

but i heard this bike 110kph can beat those 130 kph.. from tat uncle tat promoted this bike..

hmm.. i wanna noe whether is bukit batok outlet gonna be trustable as well, anybody here have experiences with them?

 

 

oh, dat i noe. gonna ask first before they mod it for me..

 

i found another friend selling his rw , fx plate too his name is foster here

he selling for 3k , road tax till jan 2007 ..

gonna pay lta for ownership transfer myself..

 

im considering who should i get it from, the shop or from foster..

 

and one thing, i dun understand, is the installment .. if u purchase from cka shop rite..

eg they sell the bike for 3.6k

i down payment 1k

left with 2.6k , and then 2.6k i pay over 3 yrs.. that is 72.22 per mth..

and there is something called interest rate..

how do they count it at?..

can anyone enlighten me ?

i fear tat if i buy from cka, after i downpay for the bike, they will ask me pay more and more (hidden charges) which they did not mention before they sell.

 

anyone could tell me wat should i ask before i purchase from the shop, so as not to get chop ~ :cry:

 

thanks in advance !! ^^
