Hi XJR member...

 

I have a friend who have just bought a new XJR facing some battery problem.

 

From what I know the battery just can't hold charge and e bike just wouldn't start even with the push start method.

 

May I know if any of you have try the push start???

By the way most of us are riding FJR

 

If your friend bike dun start, u might ask him to do some fault finding.

 

Any cranking when he pressed the start switch?

Any neutral light?

Anyone using aftermkt windscreen?

Any comments on aftermkt windscreens, brands like GIVI, ERMAX, MRA, Cee Baileys, Powerbronze or stock windscreen still the best?

I think the rider backrest might not be useful in this case. Unless you are a very tall rider else the backrest to too far back. Saw the Close cobin seat with backrest i think it work better, but again, it expensive

First of all u got to tell us more details.. A bike cannot start can due to many reasons.

For example in the case of CDI gone, no matter how many time u pushed, the bike will not start. There no cranking, no neutral light.

 

To know whether the battery is still charged, locate the batt, use a multimeter to check the open-circuited voltage across the batt.

 

If your friend's bike is new, ask ya friend, has him accidently turn the key to parking mode last nite?

 

If his CDI is still working and he wanna to try push start, try to disconnect the headlight then try push start.

That is unless i can find a really good deal that i will let go, the VFR is really in very good condition, like brand new, can't bear to sell it off yet.

Hey Mad Max, just gotten on board this forum thingie......

 

Damn right this cee cee phenom is gettin way outa hand, most likely pushed by the demands of the Westerners. Like in the case of the Triumph Rocket III, meant to take back a slice of the American cruiser market, the design brief was to make it BIG (as in displacement), everything was developed around the engine. Honda brought out a 1800, Kawk counter with a 2000 and the Brits throwin in a 2300!! The concept of usable power doesn't seemed to make much sense to them, does it?.....

 

Time for you to retire the Max and get yourself one of these before they all get so big that we end up lookin like babies on monster trucks.

 

Just missed the trip up to Frazer Hill with the guys over Labour Day, duh!! Your Max ain't meant for our kind of riding man! Makes you look like a freakin bug!! Time to get yourself one of these!

 

And about burning rubber, I sure wanna get rid of the Metz 4 fast, they don't feel good to me. Doesn't give me much confidence in the grip department and the front gives the feeling of riding over fine cobbles. Doesn't seemed to improve even after I've gotten them scrubbed. Anyone else have the same experience with the 4's? I was told that some FJRs come with the BT020, lucky!

[maxxmadness]

retire on me Max, nah....not in the near alien future...getting another bike to go touring, well maybe, like I say see how things go with the manufacturer. Bug or no bug, I still manage to maintain average 180km/hr with you guys ,just that certain section of the North South highway have too great a cross wind for naked bikes to take ......Somehow the FJR 1300 still not complete to me so waiting to see what the designer will come up with. True there wont be a perfect bike but I can wait.....If they come up with some stupid design or specifications, then I will grab the last available model on the market.

 

Anyway dont want to go off-topic here, we keep our little discussion about me getting which bike next back at the canteen during lunch......the alien has make the contact and will return to its own forum topics.......

Further rect found the battary can't hold charge and the multimeter reading keep droping ( even with the battary removed and did a charge.)

However we can tell is battary problem this time but just think about another battary problem will to happen next time, one thing for sure the bike can't start even if try push start. so got to watch your batt too... takecare.

I considering either the FJR 1300 or the Fazer 1000 as a third bike beside the 2 other bikes I m holding. I m considering renewing the Max's COE when expires so no way I m gonna retire from it....

 

Anyway FJR is a great bike, that what I "influence" cyclop to buy in the first place and now he blaming me for getting him such a wonderful bike,,,,good grief...

 

By the way, aint we suppose to go Kampong Arang to check out your handle grips for your FJR?

wah $130. ok i try to see Mah got a better price. The washers etc. i hab send a email to confirm with them le, but they hab not get back to me yet.

 

U mean the front Rebound damping force adjusting knob? I did make a count from full hard, didn't rem how mani clicks, I think is around 28 clicks. Mine rebound setting was rather hard. 6-7clicks from full hard.

 

Have ya adjust ya rear rebound damping force? If i not wrong is around 40+ clicks.
