Honda NT700V/650V Deuville

[Signal]

Sorry, I can't make it to the meet last night. I was planning to ...

 

Last night, myy bike stalled after going over a road bump. It refused to start afterwards. You can hear the cranking but the engine just would not start. Some motorist suggested that my fuel tank may be empty (not likely since I only topped up 2 days back.). To my horrors, I couldn't open the fuel cap. The key turns but the fuel cap refused to budge.

 

It took 10 mins of fiddling before the cap would open with a huge HISS. Visual check the fuel tank is almost full.

 

The bike started as per normal after the visual inspection.

 

The issue was really weird and I took the bike to my mech who diagnosed it as a blocked run-off pipe. The same HISS came when he opened the fuel cap. He stick his air gun into the run-off valve and blow really hard into it. Around 50ml of brown gunk were blown right out of the escape valve below the seat.

 

Apparently, a vacuum was slowly forming when the run-off valve was blocked. Air could not get into the fuel tank and with the lowering fuel level, the problem got to a point where fuel could not be fed into the engine. Hence the engine died.

 

So get your mech to blow the fuel run-off valve every time you change the engine oil. It will keep the pipe clear .

Lost of control is certain.

 

Looks like he e-braked, tried to control the skidding from e-braking, bike lost traction with the road surface and went straight for the tree in the centre kerb.

 

30 metres of tyre skid marks before the tree. He must have been going pretty fast.

 

Bro,ive heard the rider's not from BKE.He was traveling from Tech SemoCond..down towards Marsiling MRT.i guess the road patch on the 2nd lane made him lose control.Ive tried riding der on the 2nd lane at 60kph..and it was reali..my god..i had to move to 3rd lane.,the road shud be resurfaced.

Nevertheless,let the soul of the rider be blessed.

Woah... if he's going straight down Woodlands Ave 3, he would have been riding at an even higher speed!

 

The junction at the BKE exit is already notorious for accidents.

 

Its the first time I've seen a bike totally broke into pieces. Really cui.

 

They are still doing some works along the 2nd lane hence the temporary patching.

[Boner]

Had a good trip to Kota Tinggi, the water was really cool and refreshing! Small group but nonetheless I enjoyed the ride and the company. Lets meetup soon to decide where our next outing in April is!

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a Deauville NT700VA. Both my side panniers cannot lock because it seems that the mounting points for the locking mechanism located under the seat are made of plastic and have cracked and given way. So the pannier cover cannot catch onto the locking mechanism because it is loose. Does any one else have this problem? How do you secure the pannier cover? I currently use a bungee cord on the outside of the pannier cover but it really looks terrible. Is there a way to secure the locking mechanism despite the mounting points being broken? Is there a shop that can fix this? Would really love to hear anyone's experience or ideas regarding this... Thanks!
