wah. sold to shop ar?

 

wahh. this week i no time to post anytin. lol.

 

anw,

 

anybody experienced this prob?.. -> lack of power in gear one? i duno how to explain.. but it seems kinda abnormal.. different from the normal feelin.. yesterday i went back to MAH motors to collect some papers and raincoat. i asked the mechanic lor. he do do the cutch screw there then rev here rrev there then say ok already. it was ok for a while.. and then it became "powerless" again. sianz.

 

then headlight also blow out aredi -..-

Ok I begin my story now:

 

I got my bike from a shop at Eunos during March. The boss there promised me a 6month warranty should my bike goes wrong. So I thought it was pretty good and was too excited that I instant down-payment my bike.

 

The problem here is, I did not get to see my bike as the shop will be getting from another bike shop. Hence, I do not know of the conditions of the bike. Mind you, my CBR150 is quite expensive when I bought the bike.

 

Outlook problems:

- Side fairings mechanism crack so my side fairing is always flapping

- Middle bottom right fairing crack but they bore it to a curve shape

- One side fairings and 2 rear farings bottom screw slot broken

 

Therefore, my fairings gives a "can't be screw tight" look.

 

But, I got some parts that is new or first-hand:

- Speedometer

- Tail-light

- Head-light

- Radiator

- Head fairing

- Windscreen

 

Other than these, I have the fluctuation of idling RPM. My engine will stall during traffic light. This happen on the day I get the bike. So I called up the boss and he asked me come down tomorrow.

 

So I came down and the mech said that it was because of the dirty fuel tank. He cleaned my fuel tank and tune my carb. Now, my engine does not stall but the fluctuation of idling RPM still persists. The mech said it is normal for this to happen. And I thought case closed then.

 

Until when we have a gathering, I met great fellows like you guys and you guys told me that the fluctuation of idling RPM is not normal. So i go back the shop and the mech insisted that this is normal.

 

I am so fed-up that I went down to planet to do my bike. Changed the carb needles, jet-spring and fuel needle. But the problem is still there. So ah chong suggest that we stripped down the engine and see how it goes.

 

The engine was stripped down and my gasket, piston and piston rings all chao ta because the coolant from the radiator leaked into the top block. This could be due to my shop mech did not properly install the radiator that results in the coolant leaking. No doubt that my bike is so hot when I am only riding a short distance.

 

Finally I thought, the engine is new, carb mechanisms are new. The fluctuation of idling RPM still persists. Then ah chong from Planet compared my carb with Chris carb. There is a difference, my carb was bore to a bigger hole so that air and fuel intake is larger so that the speed will increase. Ah chong sugguested that if I want a perfect bike, I should change my carb because a modified carb will do the engine no good in the long run.

 

In addition, I always have problem kicking the gear. Ah wei from Planet change my gear screw because he told me my bike previously was installed with racing footrest. When my shop changed back to stock footrest, they re-use the racing footrest screw, therefore my gear is very hard to kick and sometimes get stuck.

 

All in all, I have spent a lot in doing this bike but the problem is still there considered that my cam-chain and tensioner is going to up lorry soon.

 

So I went back to my shop yesterday and told him all the problems I have had and sick of this problematic bike they sold me. I bought up the topic of they giving me warranty for 6 months (which is still in-effect) and said that I have overhaul the engine elsewhere.

 

I told them the fluctuation of idling RPM problem and now the boss said it is not normal. But I told him that the mech said it was normal. He insisted that his mech will not say like this. Well, what could I do?

 

Whats make me boil is he said that if I have a problem, I should come down to his shop to do since I have the warranty. I should not go other shop because the mech and his mech might each said a point and there might be disagreement. He also said that this will result in a bad image of his mech.

 

Furthermore, he said that if the problem still persists, I can find him back and not the mech. But he himselves if not a mech, I find him back for what use? When I find him about the rattling sound of the engine which is caused by the cam-chain tensioner, he said it was because my engine oil need a change. Wtf?

 

But fact is fact, he and his mech is really no skills. My fluctuation of idling RPM is not normal. So he suggested that he will wash and tune my carb and see how it goes because he said that my carb could be spoilt because planet mech might have spoilt my carb.

 

I was like wtf? why not change a carb for me. I have wash tune at his shop umpteen times and even at planet. The problem does not lies with the carb dirty.

 

Lastly, I get enough of his bullshit and push back to him. I have learnt my lesson very well. When I pushed back my bike to him, he still insists me of getting NSR150SP if not I will have to top up him because there is still $1400++ installment left.

 

I get into a flare arguements and he finally agreed that I will not top him up.

 

Pushing back to the shop is the last resort I have. The bike has exceed my budget in repairing or servicing. It is just not worth because it is already beyond economical repairs to make it like what Zed and Stan bikes had enjoyed.

 

If I keep on throwing money in repairing and servicing, the amount is already sufficiently to get a first-hand CBR150.

 

What's more, my bike COE die at early 2013 and the bike is involved in a serious accident before. The front frame can be seen as being welded back and the frame below the fuel tank is in a bad shape.

 

So, a hard decision from me was passed down. Despite this situation I faced, I still loved the CBR150.

 

Just blame it on my lucks in getting it from a black shop. They just like to talks but no actions.

then headlight also blow out aredi -..-

 

bro could be clutch-plate problem. Just occurs only in gear 1? Any problem on other gears?

[xbfish]

does the fluctuating RPM still result in engine die off when left idling?

if not, just accept it as 'normal'.

i got a feeling that the modified carb may be the cause of the high FC also.

if this issue is really affecting u, can always try to source ard for 2nd hand carb. or if $$ not an issue, get new carb.

 

as for the tick tick sound, mine sometimes will have it too.

when on the road waiting for traffic light or when bike in motion, the sound cant be heard. usually hear it only after i have parked my bike.

i feel that as long as the tick sound is not due to loose cam chain or tensioner worn out, then it is ok. when the bike was being done up at planet, i trust that the mechs have already replaced what needs to be replaced. the tick sound may also be partially contributed by the moving piston or other engine parts, which is normal. the piston sound will be quite consistent and regular as compared to the random ticking u hear in the youtube vid u posted.

 

if talk in terms of engine noise, there are easily other more noisy engines out there.

 

my advise is at least wait till u complete the running in phase before u make any decision. the engine should run more consistently after running in. since planet identified carb as the issue,fix it if u have the cash to. if not, try to live w/ it.

 

Ahh.. I can't live with it because my piston will still get damaged by the modified carb sooner or later.

 

Btw, no more CBR125 pipe because I pushed my bike back to shop.

 

So sorry

So xbfish, whats next?? Bigger cc?

[fahmi_20]

Nope. Moral of story, never get from that shop.

 

Or hw abt.. No matter where or who u buy a 2nd hand bike from, its always a risk we take.

 

For me, reason y i gt cbr was due to low maintainance and fc. But nw i realize, actually stil gt alot of things need to do le. :x

So sorry

 

icic~

sorry to read abt yr bad experience w/ the shop also

as wat the other bros & sisters are kaypoh abt, wats yr plan?

 

anyway, frm the way u described, i suggest that u check back on whether the shop has got the bike transferred away frm yr ownership.

one possible bad scenario is that the finance company comes knocking on yr door to press for repayment of installments for the bike that u already pushed back to shop
