A bit of vibrations is normal.. at tat speed, if u dun feel some vibrations then will be odd..

Problem with my bike.... again....

 

My bike stalled twice when i traveled from Changi to Jurong along the PIE just now.

 

1st encouter:

 

Traveling speed is ~ 100kph. Suddenly, I felt the slight engine brake, I clutch in and rev but no response so I know the engine died. I free wheelie to the road shoulder, put to neutral in the meanwhile and start the engine before coming to a stop. Managed to light up and I continued.

 

2nd encounter:

 

Cornering slowly at expressway exit to Clementi Ave 6. Engine died again. No time to kick neutral so I clutch in and start but NO response from the starter motor. Came to a stop, kick neutral try but still cannot. The symptoms are identical as when u try to start the bike with the engine-kill-switch in the OFF position. Then I put the engine kill switch to OFF, then back to ON and try, light up and I came back home.

 

Things I did / happened "out-of-the-ordinary" this morning:

 

1) Traveled at ~150kph for about 30 kilometers. (I haven't traveled at this speed for quite a while, at least not for such a long distance so I consider it to be "abnormal)

 

2) The bike was in the rain for 2 hours or so. ( I always cover my bike but today no time)

 

Suspected causes:

 

1) Moisture trap in my Engine Start switch assy causing a jump in the engine-kill-switch?

2) The Throttle Position Sensor issue? (Gen 1 recall, haven't change cos no prob so far)

3) Water leaking into my fuel tank? (Unlikely because the starter motor shud still crank)

 

I also did a valve clearance, timing chain + tensioner replacement, coolant change by Meng Tong bout a month ago. Ever since, there is an intermediate high rate squeaking sound from the right side when the bike is at idle (but not during warm up). However, engine hasn't stalled till today.

 

Thanks for reading. Anyone knows whats wrong?

thanks bro... hmmm ok i'll check but so accurately it starts from 4000rpm how abt ur bike... is it the same????

Is it a rattling sound? Can be from your plastic fairing or radiator.

 

Yah - do check your bolts and plastic fasteners. I've lost a few liao and have it replaced.

thanks bro... hmmm ok i'll check but so accurately it starts from 4000rpm how abt ur bike... is it the same????

 

4000rpm im guessing is around 120km/h... at tat speed it shd be ok coz the vibrations may cause from certain factor like loose nuts or fasteners and of coz uneven road. Do check ur ride ok.. maybe a after a few quick tightening it should be better.

 

But slight vibration is normal lah, all bikes have it..

 

 

i wonder if Can Am Spyder is different? juz recently launced in S'pore by Loois Motors.

Problem with my bike.... again....

 

...

sounds alot like electrical rather than mechanical fault eh? my guess is moisture too..hmm..any comments guys?

 

anyway, lately my rear suspension have been giving some weird loud TICKING sound when say going over a hump, or simply by sitting on my bike. it goes TICK when the suspension is compressed (when i sit) and TICK again when the suspension is released (when i stand). scary seh...what's happening to my gurl?

I read a review about it on Saturday's papers. An ang-mor bought it from Loois. Fun, but tricky to use esp U-turning. Go inside 2nd Link, gotta pay car toll instead

ABS light should be off. Perhaps you should bring it to a reputable shop to check. It may be out of sync

I have had this on a couple of cars. Usually it indicates some issue with the ABS system. One of the most common things that go out is the sensor. You may be able to get an error code from your ECU/on-board computer. This would indicate the issue. I hope this helps!
