[snailexpress]

chain guides or guard?

 

looking for the nylon guide that screws onto the top of the swing arm and the little round one that goes under the chain.

I know this is a repeated question..searching for an answer within the numerous pages of "questions for newbie" is a hell lot of work.

 

Guys, my bike is Ta200 and I wanna know when do you guys change the EO? and usually how many km then change EO?

 

Thanks..

 

I do mine every quarter which is about 3000k.....no real recommended milage as synthetic oils last a lot longer than standard.... and it depends on how far it goes and how hot it gets in each trip.

Dear PKs,

 

wanna ask, if battery is dead, is there any way to push/kick start a TA200??

 

Yea.. wad i did for my TA200 was kick up to 3rd or 4th, clutch in, push bike till i start to jog den release clutch more than half clutch position. Prepare to clutch in immediately again and throttle once it start. Be careful of runaway bike.

Once in a while should be ok.

Check your air-filter. Replace is necessary.

Dropping your bike into low gear at 60km ...are you crazy.... sooner or later you will see the bottom end of your engine going past your front wheel as it explodes into many bits....that pop is unburnt fuel being pushed out through your exhaust and igniting when it contacts the air and hot exhasut....ever seen the flames comig out the back of race car exhauts same thing.

[SNapEl]

LOL ya... please dun treat your bike like training school bike.. if not you will be spending more on wear and tear. More importantly... you are putting yourself at a higher risk of skidding with what you are doing. Esp if you too used to it den on wet roads or sandy roads go do that...

haha thats y called noobie ma but since i started to hear the sounds i more 'gwai' liao from gear 4 then slowly go down to gear 2~~ but sometimes still hear that 'pop' i hear it is quite common for phantom to pop once in a while

Hmm... i usually don't do that.. if i've got more than enough distance in front of me i don't use engine brake. If i use, i usually leave it in the gear that it is currently in all the way until when i wanna on throttle again den kick down to appropriate gear and throttle on... Lol when stopping like that slowly clutch in, kick down, release clutch, clutch in, kick down, release clutch, clutch wear out much faster... plus too much procedure liao...

wah... u gear down from 4-2 ar... no wonder pop lar.. at first i thought u meant u "cruise" it down a bit before dropping a gear... tt's why i said normal earlier...

 

anyways, dun need to purposely engine brake by down shifting when normal braking is sufficient lor... summore these few day sooooooooo hot

mine has never popped ..think you pushing it to hard if it does....expect your repair bills to be high if you keep riding that way

Brothers, how much do u tink does the fixing of a hole in the exhaust cost?

 

i hope u r not referring to that hole, which drains out water in the rain or flood, beneath the exhaust pipe.

ya..words of wisdom from mouth of babes...

Congratulations...you have a very sensible boy and must be very proud of him..

very interesting sparring you guys have here. Constructiove comments and all, save it i suggest, oh ya, IMHO.

 

It might just makes the newbies wonder more if they done a right thing to ask question.

 

I thought PK used to have a thread 'technical discussion' or something related for all those stuff.
