Hi is it true that phantom tend to skid easily during rainning days as the rear is heavy? I skid once on ta200 during a rainy day .. till now still having doubts over it

[Metalfyre]

Yes. Too much rotating mass at the back...easier to skid in the wet, esp if downhill

[dragonforce]

Is your biting point very near?

 

how do i know if my biting point is near? near to..? my friend ever rode my bike ask me "you dont like to squeeze your clutch all the way to enable you to change gear 1 is it..?"

 

i dont know man..but sounds like his clutch is gone

 

and.. any idea how much does a clutch cost..?

 

how to know clutch gone?

 

this is another question i am curious to find out..

 

problem is getting a little dangerous here.. i use engine brake when slowing down and just imagine instead of engaging to 1st gear to come to a total stop i engage to neutral to surge forward for a few metres before coming to a stop..

Imagine mixing wet+downhill+ left turn

 

Ps: I just realised you have a new nice siggy, UPS!

that should mean its far, since your friend already asked you if you don't squeeze your clutch lever all the way blah blah. Read up your RTT if you don't get what is free play

Hi all ,

 

Just got my phantom TA200 1 month ago ... from one of the gentleman here ....

 

Chain lubricate can be done by any NEW EO ? (mineral , semi or full ) all of the oil ? or is it better to use those product that solely for chain lubracate ...

 

if too long never lubricate ... what will happen ah ??

 

I try go service at mid view building there ... i said full services the guy just change the EO n airfilter for me ... after that he ask me anythings else ... i dont have idea what should i ask him to check also ler .... anyone got any idea ??

 

thks alot ..

[queirtus]

btw wanna know how much u paid for full service?

 

chain lub can use eo to lub, if never lub also can actually

[Metalfyre]

Don't teach people the wrong thing la... who say no need chain lube, what rubbish. Tell me your rationale of such a claim, I'd like to hear it

Not necessarily so, I changed the tyres on my Phantom TWICE at midview. Both at very affordable prices. PLUS they did include tyre balancing FOC (1st time balance both wheels, 2nd time balance front only)

 

Many motordiams wouldn't even bother to balance wheels for 2B bikes, especially Phantoms.

[jB]

huh? what talking you?

go for soccer don't ask so much.

Not necessarily so,

but most prob

[Lockcole]

[bluesurfer]

hi i have a qsn.

 

regarding the chain lubrication, do u guys use chain wax or oil or smth ar?how u guys lub your chain?

[BlackDawn]

I tried a couple of different chain lube on my ex-Phantom. Maxima chain wax was the best IMHO. I usually jack up my bike, roll the rear wheel & spray on the top of the lower span of the chain. One thing about wax is that it should be applied when the chain is hot, so I usually do it at the end of the day when I reach home.

[queirtus]

aiyoh kk my bad, chain must lube must LUBE OKAY

 

wat i meant was no need to ownself lube constantly can do it at bikeshops when u do ur normal servicing 1 or 2 months of eo change

[SNapEl]

How to jack up the phantom ar? need to use a wooden block under the side stand and a jack ar?

If you do this, your chain isn't going to last very long. You think lube everlasting gobstoppers ah?

[BlackDawn]

That's what I'll do. Most motordiams will do it this way as well.

Sounds to me like you are deliberately trying to shorten the lifespan of your chain.

I use Maxima Chain Wax.

No need wood and jack.

I use the primitive method.

Push the bike until the 'Linked' section.

Squat down and spray.

Still squatting, 1 hand hold handle, 1 hand hold sissy bar, push the bike forward.

And looking at the chain, push until the last piece of the chain that was sprayed almost touch the spocket (Teeth).

Then duck waddle to be besides the bike again and spray some more.

Dear PKs,

diff rates apply to diff times. Approach your friendly driving centre for a much better quote. I'd just tell you less than 200 for 2a.
