hi all

 

need some expert advise from e bros here.

 

something slowly but surely happens. my bike is slowly getting bad at accelerating. Accelerating is really getting tougher. Even my pillion said she can feel the bike struggling.

 

Fuel efficiency drops from 45km/l to 41km/l.

Riding isn't as smooth as before.

Engine feels rougher.

Deceleration happens very fast the moment i close throttle.

Battery is 1 year old

I have revtec installed.

Engine oil and spark plug changed every month.

Nothing blocking the air filter.

Bike is 2yrs 4mths old.

 

Any advise please? I must know something 1st b4 i meet the mechanics for if i ask them, they will forever give me the classic answer, "nothing la, no problem, all ok." But I'm the one riding it everyday, I know something is not right or some maintenance needed just that I can't put a finger to it. Advices will be gladly appreciated.

 

thanks

did u check your tyre pressure?

with age, there should be some degrading performance, especially when you are already at 58k km, your clutch could be wearing out, but if it doesn't slip just leave it.

 

Riding isn't as smooth as before.

Engine feels rougher.

Deceleration happens very fast the moment i close throttle.

As advised by others, get the carb serviced. If you can't find someone to do it? call us

 

Battery is 1 year old

I have revtec installed.

remove, just to reduce the variables, revtec is warrantied for 1 year only, there could be some degrading of the electronics.

 

Engine oil and spark plug changed every month.

no need to change to a different EO, if you are comfortable with your current.

 

Nothing blocking the air filter.

check condition, if need to replace, do so

Bike is 2yrs 4mths old.

 

remember that a 4km drop in FC is expected for a bike this age. don't be in a hurry to change things especially when you have kept the bike original so far.

 

Hi

 

Thanks for the advice. Went to change my engine oil and spark plug. did carb wash also. revtec removed. haven't really try riding far yet cos did the servicing near my home. But anyway, thanks a lot. Guess, it's machine wear and tear is the cause of degrade.. sighness..

Posted
thanks bro for ur input. appreciate it a lot.

 

in terms of oil, i've been using castrol fully synthetic all the while. petrol i use caltex premium 98.

 

try to use shell or mobil....maybe theres some improvement....Caltex is known to be a genie in an engine....hehe...

Generally, our bikes do not require very high grade EO, choose a 10w40w semi-syn EO is good enough. but remember to change every 1000km or max 1200km, basing on a time period t change might not be a good idea unless you are confident that the mentioned mileage range falls within the preferred time period.

Just a suggestion, you can coordinate your EO change with our JB pump and wash sessions (Hawkz Flightz) as the EO is cheaper there. You can do a 3 in 1 (pump petrol, change EO and wash bike). not only coffee comes in 3 in 1s.

stick to that pressure, using the same for my Pilot sporty

use back the original NGK plug, less issues, other type like iridium and so forth will give you better power but might increase your fuel consumption and engine operating temperature. if you don't mind those, go ahead change.

wat ignition coil to change?? where to buy? price?

 

best to stick to the original coil as it suits the CDI unit, you can change the coil cable if you want to, maybe NGK race cables or split fire both able in Jb at a cheaper price, labour is cheaper over there.

 

Alternatively, you can PM your contact and will include you during my SMS to activate Friday night Hawkz Flightz

UM should be good enough but for them buying the plug separately will be expensive, their oil packages are very competitive
