hi bro/sis

 

have anyone here beat a RLC before?/

 

just now was rushing home normally i would slow down before reaching junction especially when pedestrian red light was on.. but just now no time to stop entered yellow box area den immediately turn red..

 

nv see any flashing cam.. from mirror.. infact my mirror is quite small so can't see e camera directly.. will it be so bright to reflect on my chrome parts? eg. handle bars?

 

it was ard 1hr ago.. so night time..

 

I encountered before, same as you. Entered passed the pedrestrian line immediately red. You didn't see any flashes right?

Then same as me! It's ok.

 

I read that, there is are sensors underground at Red Light Camera junctions. Seem like our SG set up has 2 sensors, 1 before the stop line, 1 more inside the yellow box. It needs to sense a vehicle passing at both sensors to activate the camera. As long as rear wheel have passed the stop line when the lights turned red, only 1 sensor will be activated, so you are safe.

 

I seen a malfunctioned camera before flashing non-stop too.

The flash is like a lightning strike, it's very bright, especially at night.

Even without mirrors also can see, whole area lighted up.

i heard from friend it will only activate 3sec after red light is up

[pureice68]

did he eleborate on wat repairs??? if change piston should be total roughly i think 600+ max or so....

 

Hi hamsterwhale, he said that the piston 'jialat liao' and mentioned that it'll cost around $300+ but didn't say how he gonna repair it. Hope it dun cost more than that!

$380...seems to be the most mentioned cost.

 

he will replace piston and rings..and do a top overhaul as well...then replace all gaskets and top up eo. an most probably will tune the carb to the new piston..this is the normal stuff for a piston change..

if other parts involve than the price goes up

Okie, thanks for the info and hope that it's only the piston lor! Well anyway, I knew that my luck wasn't so good at buying things and had seen these extra repairs coming my way as it's a used bike. Just didn't think it'll come so soon!

Yup. Anyway, now they said the the screw thread for the piston cover were worn off so needed further repairs and therefore needed 1 more day, haiz...

No matter how longs it take as long the job is done properly and you will have a trouble free bike for a long time to come...

Hi mepkoh bro, you're right on the spot as repair cost me $380. They replaced to a bigger sized piston as hole already loosen due to 3rd time changing. So now need to run-in for 1000km @ max of 80km/hr and need him to recheck as he's afraid the bracket may not be strong enuf to hold the bigger piston. Hope, it can and therefore no need further replacement lah! Cheers!
