I think its size 8 or 10 if I didn't forget.. been using lotsa tools recently so maybe I really forgot..

 

Im quite certain that its size ten. Get those spanner head can bend to 90deg.

I wear a fake leather bag, like those for school, from bugis street. I bought it just because I had to hide my helmet last year... my helmet could fit in it... and there is a little more space and compartments for other stuffs...

 

p.s. how could you put a yamaha logo!!! lol just kidding

[kzone]

my left signal lights, both rear & front does not light up. Is this wiring problem?

 

If 1 bulb blows, then the other will still light up but not blink rite? n unlikley both bulbs blows at the same time rite?

 

P/S : Didnt ride for abt a week cos was in reservist... n it was parked in the open with heavy rain a couple of times... normally i park 95% in sheltered carpark.

start diagnosing from the simplest problem thats is least of a hassle, change both bulbs...if cannot use multi-meter to check the current flow of the wiring, if cannot might be the switch contact not contacting properly use WD40 spray 1st..

 

if still cannot, go bike shop and let them have the headache....

eh..i wanna ask is , when i push start button , i only heard click click sound , but then the engine wont start at all , what is the problem

[nuttybing]

eh..i wanna ask is , when i push start button , i only heard click click sound , but then the engine wont start at all , what is the problem

 

my guess is either battery weak or could be starter motor problem (brush wear off or smth) Please correct me if i'm wrong

[Binteng]

everything just change 2week ago . battery , everything

[kzone]

the last time I had this problem, it was because of bad contact with the battery. Mine was rusted. did a temporary solution by using some copper strip but problem came back after few weeks so ended up changing the battery.

 

hopefully urs is just a case of loose connection.. open up the seat n check ah...

[mepkoh]

everything just change 2week ago . battery , everything

have u been riding for two weeks..starting ok?

if yes..your rectifier could be busted..battery drained by the ride( the battery was unable to be recharged).

[econbizer]

Open up your seat and look at the positive terminal (red). If you push the start button and there're sparks / electric like zap sound, the connection is loose. You should try to tighten the connections. The proper way to do it is to first disconnect (unscrew) the negative side (black) & tighten the positive side (red). Then tighten negative again. If you try tightening the positive side while the battery is in closed loop, you'll see sparks.

 

If there are no sparks, chances are as Mepkoh said, time to check rectifier and possibly get it replaced. How to tell? Try to push start your bike. If you can't even push start. Then it's even more likely the rectifier is busted.

[mepkoh]

ya if push start fail...why dont u jumpstart bike with another vehicle/battrey to confirm it can start..then confirm rectiier whether rectifier is bad.

[Binteng]

okay bah.. thank for all the idea..cus i dunno how to diy

i think i will call for tow bah..throw everything to the motordiam better.
