I got this problem too before I clock 500km. But after I change my spark plug and engine oil.. It seem fine now. I also tune my air-intake

w00tz

this is good news for me

so far only been changing engine oil since i got the bike

travelled close to 6000km on my bike already & still facing this problem

shall get a spark plug change and tuning done soon

anyway i tink this has nothing to do w/ grade of petrol used

been using Exxon92 regularly and even w/ JB Vpower or Caltex Vortex97

its the same

[sLapshock]

how much is the budget i shoudl have to change spark plug, tune air intake and engine oil?

price of engine oil depends on what type of oil u buy

generally $10+ will get u a reasonable quality one

 

spark plug = $2 to $3 (i bought a normal plug frm LAB for $2 as a spare plug to keep at home)

 

not sure abt price of tuning though...intend to get the tuning done when i go change engine oil

try not to use V power... this is a cub... V power is not meant for us... im using 92.. my bike is still running well... i heard using V power is not good for engines such as in cubs...

[sLapshock]

huh

why no good?

alamak...

although it may be something like an overkill

but in my opinion, i dont tink there's any due disadvantages from using Vpower on kups bah...

use ron 98

[darren_soh86]

if i am not wrong, it sounds like a worn steering cone bearing..

 

it onli happens on low speed. den the fork and handle goes 'tok tok tok' while slowing down on the brakes and u can feel sumting knockin against the handle liddat..

 

its not a fork problem.. dun waste the cash.

[three60]

could be ur rims bearings also

[Liquid tension exp]

maybe might be ur disc warp

[FigoBoy]

Had this problem b4... Also did suspect the steering cone, d weight in my front baket, brake pad uneven wear.............................

But my mechanic juz let go abit of air from my front tyre.. then ok liao...

 

But now i juz change to bigger brake disc.. problem come back again...

hello, just to ask, i bought bike, ride 1400km already, i felt something different, like rough riding, even before the stipulated speed to change to the next higher gear, the sound loud already, then the engine brake a bit harsher than usual, jerky then noisier at higher speeds (60-100km/h), lastly the vibrations previously noted to start at 100kn/h now start vibrations at 80km/h,

 

is this a puberty phase of my bike or just that its time to change engine oil. Can i also know the mishaps of extended riding without change of EO, anything else on the bike will spoil?, cause i ride a bit long also.

[menphis]

may i know what bike r u riding?

[menphis]

which cub?

[menphis]

engine oil should not give such serious problems...

only that if engine oil not changed timely.. changing of gears might be rough and hard.

[menphis]

normally running in servicing is to have oil change at 800km ...

1400km... abit too much..

new bike..must take care.. somemore is cub, only need 1L of EO..

[menphis]

one more enquiry... r u doing normal or hard run in?

Hello guys,

 

sorry for MIA. I have not read the forum for some time.

 

Anywya, my problem was solved. I initially thought is starter as my batt just change 1 mth tat time..so i never suspect it..i bought it to one mech and he tested say my batt ok too..and say maybe starter..then i bought it to one very ULU place at Kanji.Recommended by a forumite. Got it solved..the first thing he told me that, starter hardly spoil and say battery.. then he tested it and change a new one MF batt..and it works well til now... i hardly have any problem with my bike..

even early, i put up a thread on rear brake got sound and backfire problem..all solved already.. for the backfire issue, i went for servicing. Change spark plug and engine oil to another brand, all problem gone..don ask me why..previously i use MOTUL..ex one..then change to cheaper one Castrol 4T full syn. then no problem.

 

Just an update. Thanks for asking..

Hi patiepie! What a surprise after so long u quiet leh? Anyway good for u your problem solve. THe backfire thing has nothing to do wif engine oil. It is the fuel/air ratio and spark plug dat causes it.

Bro i think it's time u change your engine oil. U buy first hand Wave right? For periodic inspection pls refer here.

[patiepie]

Thanks guys,

 

The place is at No.68 Sungei Kadut St.1 Soon Automobile. Hardly anyone goes there. Unless u know the place well.. The boss name is Ah meng. Heard he is quite experience. he normally scrap motorbike for a living...

 

As for the backfire issue, I am sure it is not the fuel/air ratio issue. Many mechanism tune it and i tune it before...still same problem.. Most probably the spark plug... this time i use cheap one and no problem..so i will continue to use back this spark plug..

[afandi2]

i'm using wave S second hand... yah, change engine oil, did the trick, now another problem my carb problem.. wash carb how much?, new carb how much, urgently need the info..

[afandi2]

and please some one intro this "normal or hard run in?" to me, i so newb!!
