Hi, my seat is damaged. Anywhere i can fix it or get it repair? How much will it cost?

[devil.L]

eugene & 218 along jln besar.

rewrap shd be ard 100.

you can upsize (make it thicker) or downsize (make it thiner) too.

[Tycoon]

Thanks devil.L

 

thicker or thiner got any diff?

[kmjoe]

thicker: butt more shiok but look not so shiok

thinner: look more shiok but butt not so shiok

normal rewrap sld be abt 65, if use comfort sponge is 120

[devil.L]

first thing is comfort.

follow by, thinner make your leg closer to the ground whn stopping. (can bend knee)

thicker was be further, super fat seat you might hav to tiptoe if you'r short.

othr thn these I doubt it makes any different.

not forgetting th handling would be affected due to your arm position. (:

I noticed got different prices for battery. Can tell me whats the difference ?

 

there are two types of motorcycle batteries: the ones with maintenance free (aka dry cell/AGM) and the conventional (aka wet or GEL) motorcycle batteries.

 

The main difference is the conventional batteries need constant adding of water because the water evaporates. The maintenance free motorcycle battery is a sealed box and there is a lot of acid in the plate and the special separators area.

 

As for phantom, the battery is located under the seat which require us to remove the seat tightening screws (3 in nos.), and I belong to the lazy group, I prefer to go for dry cell aka AGM type so that I dont need to open up the seat regularly to check the battery water level.

ic. is a Yuasa dry cell at $68 too expensive ? How long does one usually last with normal usage ?

$68 TAI GUI le!!!!!

 

i wont pay such price for a 12V-3.5Ah battery.....i think price around $40 should be reasonable.

 

if you nearby ubi, go replace it at planet, at least they wont sell you the wrong type and their price very reasonable.

where you bought the spark coil at that price? can recommend?

[Tycoon]

Thanks for the answer.

I have no choice as my bike battery is dead and that bikeshop is the nearest that i can push it myself. To be fair, the bikeshop also got one at $50 but its not Yuasa and its not as good as Yuasa.

 

 

So how long does a battery last? I dun know why but the old one suddenly died on me.

alamak, if your bike stalled during your ride, it is not your battery fault lah. take note your rectifier and other factors.

 

fair?? planet sells at $35 and ah koon at $48...nvm, you been carrot and let this be an experience for you to pay and for us to learn.

 

your question regarding the battery life span is very very subjective and i really do not want to comment much or else you will catch my word. go google for more informations, all these are available in google. also this post is off topic as per thread title, suggest you go other thread for help on technical issues.

yea the battery shouldn't be that expensive...

 

by the way, you don't have to push your bike all the way to a shop... you could push start it if the battery was too weak / dead and cannot be started by electric start...

 

normally, a battery would last about a year plus a little...
