ya it is possible but not advisable...you are using a worn out chain...anyhing can happen....this one must change with the gears...scarly bike cannot move..

 

I think you meant the chain sprockets, no?

[mepkoh]

ya..sprokets..haha newbie ..all look like gears to me..

hey anyone found out whats the thingy for??

[BlackDawn]

Knowledge on TA150 is become a rare commodity in this forum.

I am not able to help

[mercurius]

Hi, I've been riding my TA200 for about 2 years now, recently I noticed that there are some metal clanging sound coming from the engine (maybe gear box) that is esp audible when u clutch in... any idea what could be the problem?

 

And how often should you change the chain and how roughly how much? Thanks.

my description is really lousy...here is the photo of it.My finger is pointing at it.

 

from ur pic it seem like .. it is the coolant reservoir .. dun reli rmb le .. but it do seem like ..

[Finrod]

mercurius.....ur chain might be loose.....go and tighten it if its still usable.

my old TA150 didn't have that..

 

i can't help you with this one..

[Blackenese]

have done the top up of 2t, serviced bike at planet, top up radiator too..

 

infact replaced front folk seals and and service front brake ...replaced brake pads/pump too...and change front wheel bearings...rear bearings need to be change on next service..

 

but what is that thingy.....since that thingy is so clean...hahhaa..just leave it as it is....ah a real mystery....

 

calling all ta 150 owners..are you aware what is this??

 

 

I also wondered last time when i rode a 150....

 

Why u got planet never ask?

 

You bike wat plate? i noe 150 later then FS plate got some place need to top up water other than the coolant radiator....maybe thats the one....

 

If it irks u that much when riding just drop by any motodiam and just ask....asking this sorta qns foc one....

[mepkoh]

ya..my ta is FS plate...

[mepkoh]

at planet...just do the safety repairs...later while going through it then realise ..something is there..the previous owner also did not tell me about it..most probably he blur about it too.

top-up water? hmmm i dun think so leh, i dun even top-up my coolant ever at all.

coolant radiator seldom need to top up de .. it tooks ver long for the solution in the coolant to evaporate .. if u go koon motor do full servicing he will top up if needed anyway .. hence nthing to worry much abt coolant if urs is workin fine ..

yep my mech got tell me last time tat if coolant or if anything like carburettor is working fine no need service unless u want to give money to me:cheeky:

[Blackenese]

check water level.....if need then top up....u never noe when ur bike drink too much water liao unless u check or it dry out and ur already at the workshop changing it.....

[FD1976]

could be your tuning. try to increase your idling.

 

hi guys n replay... idling increased n it did solve my starting prob most of e occasion except for some wet mornings. Anyway, is it norm that when increase of idling, revs of eng sounds erratic (constant high n low kind rev)??

 

is common tt when cold start u got to pull the choke .. i 4get abt the theory part .. but once u pull ur choke den u start shld b start wif ease .. if nt chk out ur spark plug as well .. it does affect ..

 

Spark plug was replaced before.. i've met some phamton rider n they dun hv e prob of pulling choke always.. As per manual i understand its norm to pull choke when cold start n as per Dr. chong cheeky reply intially.. "PULL choke GD~" hehe..

ta150 got coolant reserviour so dun hav to worry but i nt sure abt ta200 but i guess shld b the same

TA200 is air cooled. No coolant required.

those phantom rider u see them is their 1st startin of their engine of the day ?? i noe it can start with no problem but i believe is nt everyday .. cau got to depend on the weather temperature level .. unless u saying tt urs got to use choke to start the bike even it is in the afternoon ..

Hi replay.. what i meant is that after i increased my idling, my engine rev sounds rather inconsistent with high n low rev when in neutral gear at junction, can hear n feel its vibrations. But when i reduce my idling it sounds more consistent. Is that norm? Sorry for e noob ques guys..

Most i met commented that their 1st start doesnt actually require pulling of choke most of e time. Whereas before i went for tuning n increased of idling, my worst scenario is that after riding n park for 3 hours i will still hv e same starting prob THEN.

 

Anyway, starting prob almost rectified after tuning n increased of idling. thanks

irregular idle should only happen if u cool your bike for over 6 hours, or its a very cold day.

 

if the idle is so irregular that it cause your engine to die off at junctions, then u need to seek professional help coz its very dangerous.

 

if the problem is solved by increasing the idle, save your money, live with it.

 

if you cannot ignore it, try to tighten all the links from the carburator first. usually something along that line may be lose and cause air flow to be irregular.

 

if you cannot ignore it but have no idea what i'm talking about, pay Chong a visit. he fixed it quickly, at a fee.

 

 

i have never ever used the choke on my phantom. as a reference.

[jB]

I'd double normanlai, neither do I use my choke. I use it for fun once in a while only do the necessary checks before you pay someone to do it guys
