correct way of measuring EO Level?

 

is it just dip or must screw in for the most accurate measure?

ENGINE OIL

CAUTION:

Engine all Level Check

Check the engine oil level each day before riding the motorcycle.

• Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.

The level must be maintained between the upper (1) and lower (2) level marks on the dipstick (3).

1. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.

2. Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle in an upright position on firm, level ground.

3. After a few minutes, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (3), wipe it clean, and reinsert the dipstick without screwing it in. Remove the dipstick. The oil level should be between the upper (1) and lower (2) level marks on the dipstick.

4. If required, add the specified oil (see page 53) up to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.

5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Check for oil leaks.

Its just insurance that pays out only if you suffer injuries or disability because of accident. You can be driving, riding a bike, pillion, riding in a taxi, taking bus, walking on the street blah blah blah..

 

For rates, payouts & coverage, see your friendly insurance agent for more details & a quote. I won't share my insurance plan details in an open forum.

Guys, im interested in fixing Pilot lights.

Can Koon do it? He never mentioned it before, just Hazard lights only.

Who or where?

[Guest @h_püi™]

Any phantom rider do any grounding on his/her bike? got effect? care to share? thanks

[Guest @h_püi™]

can anyone tell me:

 

i just change my rear tire 3month ago...

 

but how come my bike still skie? like when the road is wet(during or after rain) even i on the slow speed.. but when i will to brake and turn into carpark.. my rear wheel is like locked and end up like fish tail weaving...

 

but the amount i press on my rear brake is like during normal dry condition...

 

is so easy that my bike skip when the road is wet.. how come?

 

is it my tire or brake?

[MrQuan]

even if is the city demon? made from brazil?

 

i tot they say this tire got good fiction compare to those IRC tire?

 

so is normal one?

 

or during raining day use more front brake then rear one?

[MrQuan]

i tot always use more front brakes den rear brakes .. coz if not bike will skid ..

[Tourer]

It's always better to use more front brakes than the rear brakes. It is because under braking, the weight of the motorcycle will shift to the front and deprive traction of the rear.

 

Infact it is already easy to break the grip of the rear tire in the dry. In the wet, it is twice as easy. Take an open space and practise the limits of your braking. Try using solely the front brakes at maximum braking, and try using the rear brakes alone. You will come to a conclusion for tires at its braking limits, the rear is quite useless when it comes to stopping power.

[TheYasMan]

running in of new tyres are important.

doesnt meant fix new tyres = instant better grip.

[chikyblink]

On wet roads:

1) Go slower

2) Brake earlier

3) Brake gentler

4) Intermittent braking

5) Use more engine brake

6) Use more front brake

7) Further distance from the car in front

8) X 2 more vigilant

[thcheong]

1)ur phantom weight is at the rear not the front..

2)rear brake is more power than ur front..

3)no matter how good a tyre is, on a wet road or mscp ground will oso slip or skid

[scarr]

Hey guys, i was wondering what's the ideal tyre pressure for a phantom? Is it just follow what's stated on the tyre itself?

[J.C]

Hi, Tyre pressure is

Front 200 kPa

Rear 200 kPa

 

Ideal is to check every week.

 

Also to check any of you guys have done grounding for your bike can post the circuit drawing for DIY.

 

Thanks

hey you wanna do grounding? wanna do together? i got all the point for it.. but only five instead of seven...

 

instruction given by one of the fellow phantom right...

 

as he say five point is enough... and need special wire for grounding also.. can get from car accessories shop..

 

but i can only DIY after my exam that is end of the month...
