Sorry to ask this again cause can't find the information.

Where can i go to get a new rear number plate done cheap and good. I sorta vaguely remember someone mention some aunties shop or something...

 

Almost any bikeshop can do. How good is good? You decide

[madman]

2 stroke bikes does have valves. one such is aprilia rs125.

 

the valve got to be regularly cleaned, else will lose power.

hi guys.. got a question to ask

 

I bought a chrome rack and realised that I got a screw missing as indicated by the green circle.

 

Will it be easy to DIY put back the screw if i buy it myself? and where can i get it? Help please.. or else my chrome rack cannot put already..

[TheYasMan]

I cant really see from the pic, but should be simple. Dont worry so much. If too kanchiong and dont know what to do, just see a mech for a 2 min job.

[EK]

double post

[EK]

hmm.. i think it is to screw the original stock back rest? the other 2 longer screw(the yellow circle) i still have..

the last time I had a rack, I sent my bike to planet and ah chong helped me found screws and help install the rack + box + brake lights for like 10+ bucks only

If it is difficult to DIY, i just send it to a mech..

[kmax]

it's easy to DIY, but not easy to find screws... in the middle of HDB jungle.

[RaceWerks]

each has own opinion.. and but since it does no harm... i just itchy to try myself ....

I have a bottle of FP60 with me , got it few days ago..

 

yet to see any effects on my bike after 3 caps on the initial dose and 2caps on 2 full tank pump .

 

it says user the lowest octane petrol - i used esso 92 and felt that my bike was going slower than ever.

 

what was wrong?

We will suggest using the min octane as recommended for your bike and not necessarily the lowest octane at the pump.

 

Are you running 95 prior to the treatment? Try using that with the FP and work down from there.

 

Usually most machines, after mileage buildup, required a higher octane than usual, due to the build up of xxx inside and effect a higher compression. Therefore the 92 will behave sluggish.

[thatone1]

I was using esso 98 before that.. do you mean i should change to esso 95 instead?

 

and yes, my bike min RON is 92.

 

 

Thanks,

[kmax]

well, i was using shell 92 before and after... but didnt feel slower at all,

[normanlai]

if the pickup from stationary, is bad. like already open throttle, and half clutch, and yet all the other bikes already ahead and i'm still picking up speed,

 

but can easily reach 100kmh gradually (as per usual) , what's the likely issue? no weird sound coming from gearbox. The only major thing i did was change of EO.

 

usually clutch worn out, people complain cannot run fast, so i'm curious.

 

thx.

thank bro.. i found the screws... and DIYed.. quite easy

Hi , Just curious is it phantom contain oil filter ???

[f.zi]

hey pks out there.

just now i went to check my air filter(the one on the left chrome casing), and there's EO at the bottom of it.

not alot, but managed a few drips when i swing it towards the floor to force drip it.

i dont think its normal right? cause ive been having high FC for the last few tanks compared to last time, i can easily reach 350-400. sometimes when my riding style is aggressive, its about 320-350.

then now, hardly touch 300. its been 250 and 280 for the last two tanks(i pumped 9-10l everytime)

 

could it be the air filter and maybe carb?

The only way for oil to get that far through is if the rings are getting a bit shot...it starts as oil fumes and collects in the filter then settles in the bottom of the plastic housing....not time to worry yet....if your bike starts smoking from the exhaust then its time to do the rings. As for aggresive riding and fuel consumption....only thing you can do about that is ride more carefully.

well, okay. thanks for you reply.

it smoked once, thats when my friend noticed it at the traffice light.

i knew something was wrong.

but then, few days later, its smokeless.

weird.

 

any idea how much the rings will cost, or does it come together in the top overhaul package?

[SNapEl]

Lol that reminds me... my gear box may be shot... zzz hopefully it doesn't give me problems
