hmm...my bike fall down in a stationary position in the carpark...and my fuel seems to leak out...quite a big patch...is it normal when bike fall and petrol leak out?

[kaikai83]

It seems like i am experiencing some problems while riding. Whenever i approach a red light, i applied my brake then my engine will die off. I don't know what is the problem with it, tune the idiling higher also like that. Riding a TA200. It doesn't used to be like this. Please advise.

 

Thanks.

[Herculie]

maybe the clutch wasn't somehow pulled in properly... or although u pulled in all the way, it somehow didn't disengage the gear...

maybe it's a air-fuel mixture problem?

to prevent this from happening jus off the fuel supply under ur oil tank everytime after u reach ur destination this will reduce the fuel lost if not the next time u find a big pool of petrol and ur oil tank empty:cry:

 

sometimes its jus one of the pipes break off or crack jus go down to ur mechanic and let them look at it. but make sure its not leaking when u make ur way there if not good luck liao!

Cannot be ba. I everytime also brake the same way, and i pull in full clutch one. But can hear the engine getting weaker when i press hard on my rear brake, then engine cuts off.

For s4,

 

 

if you are talking about ver s,r,pb1 = switch is same position as ta200. manual switch.

 

vtec series - vacuum tank, thus no switch.

petrol will not leak out even you pull out the petrol tube accidentally.

does the problem occure only when clutch in? what if before you come to a stop you enage neutral gear does the engine stop as well?

 

if it doesn't stop when in neutral gear, most proabaly your clutch cable or plates ba

Found the answer, it is the air flow. Got a neighbour who knows how to tune bike. He did some tuning for me, then no more problem. Now the bike running more powerful.

Hi all, Phantom newbie here.

 

I just bought a TA200 two weeks ago.

 

My phantom's rear stop light does not lighten up when I step on the rear brake. Is this normal? If not, how should I fix it?

 

Also, (I know this may sound stupid) I am unable to remove the seat! I am unable to get my spanner in a position to turn the side bots. Is it that the side bots can only be opened by L-shaped spanners? Btw, I have side boxes. Are these boxes obstructing the bots?

 

Haizz.. I dunno whether i did something wrong... When I tighten my chain, I loosen the axle nuts (the one on the adjusting scale) on both side. Then I forget which side I did how many turns. Sia la.. Will this effect any misadjustments?

Go to bike shop and buy, cost $5 at most

Must use another type of spanner

this one, i am not very sure, but if need to adjust chain, just go to shop. normally it is free.

[sky_vinz]

Luintoxon: E light sensor for rear brake pedal is not as sensitive as e front brake lever's, which means u hav to depress e rear brake harder for e brake light to b activated. Tis happens for my Phan. =)

 

As for whether e sideboxes r obstructing e bots, it depends on where u install e sideboxes. For my case (Un-removable E21), I usually hav to open up e sidebox covers before my spanner can remove e bots easily. E covers would b restricting my spanner's movement if I dun do so.

 

I suppose in e case of tightening e chain, as long as e adjusting scale reading of both sides r e same, they should b alright. Juz try to tighten e nuts as tight as possible, wif almost e same number of turns. Shldnt affect tat much as long as e wheel is facing forward. Experienced riders/mechanics pls correct me if I'm wrong. (",)

there are markings on the adjusting assy, left and right, for you to align your wheels. just make sure both side marking are the same, its near the rear wheel nut. look at it from the side of your bike, dun go behind bike and look.

How often do we need to tune bike?

AhWan tuned my bike on 27th May and the initial few days rocked, the bike has great feeling. Now, it's gone weaker, engine is soft and threatens to die off when stopping. This is not the first time my bike has gone cranky after great tuning.

 

Also..

When i rev and change gears upwards, the bike wont just "ram" after every throttle... There'll be periods of i-dont-know-how-to-describe in between the throttling. Like, "rekrekrekrekrek then vrooooooom... (up gear) rekrekrekrek vroooom.."

 

I also noticed that my bike's FC is decreasing, now 130-150km already hit reserve!

Seriously need help here..

Best to try my bike, as its hard to describe the sucky feeling.

Riding a TA150.
