[Archived - 2009] PK Official- Questions for Newbie

[Zhi Ming]

Hi guys, i reached home from work at 5pm, just now tried to go out again but bike wont start. I hear the tick sound so according to the "possible solutions thread" it means battery weak right?

 

Anyone knows where in AMK can charge or change phantom battery? Thanks.

[BlackDawn]

Check your engine kill switch first

[Zhi Ming]

ok i just went down again after reading through the threads but nothing works...yep and checked kill switch was "RUN" already.

 

1) i tried to clutch in and start but still the same tick sound...i switch on my left/right indicator lights and notice they are very weak..somemore the neutral light also dimmed so i guess this shows the batt is gone? The headlight also dimmed very badly...

 

2) tried to push start but the speedo didnt even move at all

 

i think i can push to AMK industrial park but does anyone got a number for any shops there? want to make sure they are still open before i push my bike there...

[Zhi Ming]

Is there any phantom riders who know how to push-start living in AMK ?

[lawbah]

Start ignition

clutch in

change gear 1

when u gear 1 (still clutched in)

push your bike

no need to see speed use abit of feeling

throw clutch

you hear the bike starting

as it gets stronger

open throttle a little then clutch in

 

CAUTION: Bike will most probably surge forward.

 

by the way, so late liao... i think bikeshop close already... except maybe some shop at Alexandra?? not too sure bout that...

[Luintoxon]

Also can try using 2nd gear and follow lawbah's instructions but you have to attain running speed (referring to your legs, not your bike) when pushing.

Why not buy a battery tender and charge at your home?

I used to have similar problem. It turned out to be contact problem. Clean the battery teminal and put some dielectrical grease. It may help.

bro, how's ur bike batt now? to charge n recond ur bike battery, can look for limbat, Eunos area though... i'm in AMK btw... push-start i also use 2nd gear la...

[ylsonny]

Mine is used as in opened and used for topups, but that small bottle's still got plenty left haha. So maybe my suggestion is to save money on these, if you want to topup Brake Oil, just go friendly motordiams for a little squirt of it, shouldnt cost anything.

 

then the one i go to not friendly! $2 change everytime. coz mine is leaking and can't seems to find the source...

need to top up like every month

Hi All,

 

Does Planet do any full servicing, those $25 one like checking clutch/brakes/clean carboneuter etc like Orange Shop?

 

My bike seems to need some servicing but dun feel like going to Orange Shop.

[Intrepid]

Hi all

 

Can anyone tell me how and where to keep those unused parking coupons? - I have no storage box, nor saddle bag on my bike. Can the seat be opened? Also, where do you display the parking coupon (where do you place it on the bike)?

 

Thanks and have a Happy New Year!

[Jax]

$25 just for checking? hmmm.... i think u can go planet ba... free diagnosis but if anything needs to be changed, for example the whole list of things you have listed needs to be changed, then i am sure it will be more than $25... in fact, wash carb should be more than $25 already.

The seat can be opened but there isnt much or any space for you to keep things... its very troublesome to open and close it back anyways...

 

I usually put the coupon in between the seat and tank... -> Notice that there is an opening...? Alternatively, can put the coupon at the tank cap there.

 

No box or wad then u have to put the coupons in your pocket liao lor...... or bag or something la........

[ylsonny]

anyone know where got do the flippers for phantom?

 

flippers as in the flip thingy on the petrol cap. mine's missing. When raining or washing bike, water and soap might get in....

 

any where to fix or counter it, without spoiling the looks.

Maybe ask Ah Chong for ideas or LAB? might not be possible but you could get aftermarket ones to do the job

After some time you'll find that could be done by yourself and save the expense dude, think slowly.. Don't get so agitated, get well soon instead

maybe check your air filter, spark plug first? numerous reasons to contribute to a dying off situation.

[tan_pao_wei]

look for what in air filter to determine whether it contributes to the problem? my spark plug used for less than 4000km leh..

[jB]

check how dirty is it? spark plug I never bothered to keep track of the mileage used. Sometimes monthly change, sometimes every 2 EO change. Anyway this is just the basic stuff you can check by yourself. Else you can adjust idling knob and give it a go ;]
