Try changing all the light bulbs, retifier, batt, fuse n the most important one....the ignition switch. All tis will not cost u more than $50. The batt cost $10, bulb cost $1 each, retifier cost $6, fuse cost $2, ignition cost $25. Ciao!

 

Thanx for the comment on the Honda Cubs!!! Btw the Cub is hand-painted and it is not the old-skool type, the model is C70D. Still, its only 70% done, me need to mod the head-light. Just wait for it.

 

Welcome to all newbie kakis on this thread!!! i m so happy to see alot of young ppl supporting tis thread. Shld there be questions, i will answer. Ciao again!!!!

why u buy a cub? how is it compared to k? now u have 2 bikes?

Ryan > my electricals gave up on me now i only got signal lites....... (not goin to ride it anymore T.T ) just did a check on my coil still working ~~~ but nid to trouble shoot on the rest of the harnesses and coupling...... hope to find fault in these areas if not must completely tear down all elect

wow, my guess is somewhere in the wire harness screw up... if u wan, i would say strip the whole bike and get it chk...

 

i suspect some wires in the headlight might have short-circuit, cos for my case, was the other way round, all the light working but signal lights all gone, manage to trace the fault to a naked wire in the headlight, somehow the wire jus came loose..

for old bikes like RXK, i wont say its a common problem, rather it happened to any older bikes due to age and wear & tear... get it done and its good to last u for very long!~

 

i do agree his nick sound scary... but hes a nice guy~!

Hahahahaaa....... My nick is a small remembrance of a fellow rider and friend, a small reminder that uncle or kelly has been trying to enforce or at least remind riders all this while. ( that is to ride safe or at least with some common sense)

 

getting to the main point and not getting ........ Rxk or i would say most bikes thats of this age....... will have this common problem ~ due to the fact that its been transferred countless times = done by many different mechanics = different style of trouble shooting electricals( most headache part of most bikes + earn least $$$ in proprotion to time spent).

 

Most mechanics would simply create a jumper wire here and there, just to simplify their work. And most of the time, these jumpers are not well done or just done in a jiffy.... hence over time (20+yrs), these jumpers are abandon, reused, renewed ....etc.. and from there it can create short circuits or maybe extra loading for the magneto coil ... rectifier... bulbs... plugs...etc, which will in turn be damage in the long run.... therefore, the best way is like ryan said ..... strip and over haul ur elects.....

 

just my $o.oooooo2 cents worth of opinion.

Yes got plans to overhaul my elects .... but i need time CNY now round the corner my house not cleaned and tidy..... my kids need more time to take care T.T ...... my kuniang at home bugging me to help with the house work.

 

HOW AM I GOIN TO STRIP AND OVERHAUL IT........ last choice is to send it to a mech and do it........ which will cost some of the ang-pow $$ i goin to gif out.............

Hi blackfly and welcome to RX* thread,

 

FYI we do haf some fellow biker/s riding CG125. If 32mb head still works , @pish is riding a CG together with another fellow forumer. U can check out with them where and wat they did to their bikes.

 

Anyways [R] is always recommending the workshop at No. 29 Hamilton road.Before he has a chance to post let me post on his behalf. Just do a small search at street directory, it will tell u the exact location + map (directions). In case u dun haf or not sure..... its very near singapore casket along lavender road. PM [R]eplica for details.

 

Note: the workshop is more specialize in rxk as [R] mentioned before. but is good to check it out since its recommended. myself, have not been there for any servicing , so i cannot say much~~~

 

Just my $o.ooooooo2 cents

[leyland]

hi, need ur advice here. my bike die on me 3 times alr within this week. i really dunno what had happen.

 

at first, the first it die on me is last week. i park under the rain for 2 days. so when i start the bike, able to start. but when i engage gear 1 and move off( open throttle) the bike die.

 

so went to a bike shop to service it. told them that might be my carb got water inside cause of the rain. so they wash carb and really found water inside. after fixing, i rode to petrol station. and the next thing i know is, the bike cant move again. same prob. when throttle the bike want to stall engine.

 

so put my bike back to bike shop, when i went back to collect it, i test ride and everything is fine actually. they told me they drained the whole oil tank and to make it dry. so i ride the bike for the whole night, no prob at all. the next day( which is ytd), i start my bike, everything is fine. but when i move off. same prob occur. now i just leave my bike at tampines. anyway, i nvr kena any rain water after they drained the oil tank.

 

so dude out there, wat seems to be the prob man?? thanks alot for help

[lucifire]

i recently have this problem, my bike cannot go above 80kmph or 70 kmph in 5th gear. only rarely it goes to 100kmph but after a while it will go back down. even if i open full throttle it will stay at 70 or 80.

my fren told me that it might be my exhaust too much carbon & and that your bike might decrease in the max speed over time.

i thinking of decarbonizing my pipe.

 

ani of u guys experience 2 much carbon in exhaust?

or decarbonizing ur exhaust before?

 

ani suggestions or solutions would be appreciated

[dt7268]
