Dear PKs,

 

Where can I buy the side screws (to access battery) for the phantom seat?

I do not wanna get chopped at mechanics. What size is it, 12 or 14??

 

Thanks!

just go to your friendly workshop and ask for a free "screw"... hehee...

Got wings or without the wings?

 

[SNapEl]

Ultra-thin high absorbency.

[jB]

thanks for your speedy reply.... almost become carrot head just been to one motor shop at around 1030pm charge mi for $5 for a blub

 

maybe because it charged extra because of the late hour?

[TheYasMan]

Yeah if it's of urgent need and the time's really late like that, i think $5 is reasonable. Cannot always complain, Singapore

Imagine, you want to save that few $2-3, then TP stop you and fine you for not having/turning on your headlight. $30 gone, not counting the bulb money. Mmmm.

[jB]

well our lives are worth more than that mere few bucks like yas mentioned

hi bros,need some advice.

this morning as usual rode off to work, just exit my carpark,feel dat my bike has no power, seems like goin to stop anytime. so i change to reserve while riding, then its back to normal. after work, i went to pump petrol, was 9.2lit & it's almost full. i was puzzled cuz i tot ta200 (old) can pump up to 10-11lit?

am abit worried if my bike is havin problems, used to ride phantom 2yrs back, recently got back phantom again, feel its quite different from e previous part ive, full throttle can go up to 130 bt e current phantom ive now can only hit 120 max. can bros please enlighten me?

did u calculate how far did u go with ur reserve tank? and yes, i used to pump 10.5 on my phantom. and also alot of factor will affect ur top speed.

ur chain, tyre pressure, how far u drag ur gear etc etc. anyway, 120 is already good enough for a phantom is it is not suppose to hit that speed frequently.

[jB]

full tank is 11+ litres mate, you should have pumped around 9+ litre max as you've travelled lil.. you can pump 10 - 11 litre if you had travelled around more; with a risk of course. I've pumped 11 litres before

 

About your top speed, check your chain slack, tyre pressure etc..Sometimes it could be the elevation of the roads?

[baileys]

thanks for the reply!

 

i travelled for about 280 & ive to turn to reserve, travelled for another 16km using reserve before i pump petrol.

 

glad to hear that 120 is good enough but i oni tried once cuz its roaring & vibrating badly. 100 is just nice.

[jB]

well, 100 is good enough for the 4th and 3rd lanes for me after all I hardly go on trying any faster in Sg. Unless unknowingly

 

Ps: I don't calculate my FC these days, just service and make sure bike runs well is sufficient

yup same sentiments too,

 

i dun bother to calculate my TA150 FC coz its already soo bad:pity:

 

and only thing i ask from my bike is for it to run well and with not much of a hassle hence 100km/h is just nice for it
