Hello all, i just got my Revo earlier today and i was wondering what tyre should i change to? i heard that Battlax is good..wat abt michilin?

[xiaoyuer1988]

Bros, I wanna ask for revo, is it for us not encourage to use the engine on/off switch? Cause I heard from other ppl riding revo, dey say if we use the engine on/off switch of revo too often, it wil spoilt easily unlike spec 1-3.

I don't care what others mights have to say, but I don't use it at all. I believe it's when something goes wrong with your ignition key, than you use that to cut your engine. My previous bikes I've ridden had that switch and I did not use it till I had my accidents.

michelin pilot power.

I Use it once a month to make sure that it is working.

There is no need to use the switch often unless in emergency situations as eventually you still have to turn off the ignition key.

Regarding kill-switch spoilt/damage rate higher than carb models?? I dun think so, it boils down to how you take care of the bike, wear & tear do occur.

Yes, i am so agree with you.

In a case of emergency, the fastest way to stop the engine is via the kill-switch.

You dun have the time to turn off the ignition switch do you?

Hmm... I been told to always off the engine switch first before i turn my keys off... I have been doing that for years... for far so good... In fact i am very used to using the kill switch now.

hey guys, i got a question. what happen if your bike breakdown in jb? what should you do? i cant find any post on this related topic.

[thatguyhaikal]

Sigh. Bike failed on me after a year. I remembered one of the bro's having the same issue.

 

Tuesday, while riding as per normal, all of a sudden voltmeter reading from usual 13.9-14.2 dropped drastically to 10.0, headlights flickered, speedometer failed and finally bike died. Tried to push start to no avail, checked all of the fuse's, all were still working. Thinking it would just be the battery, my friend bought the original Yuasa that came pre-stocked with the revo and we replaced the old batt. Started bike, reading was 12.4 at its MAX while idling, warmed it up for a good 15 mins, rode around for close to half an hour, maintaining between 3-5rpm. Voltage still didn't go up, whats more frustrating, if i were to turn on my headlight it would drop to around 11.4-11.7. Thinking it was cause its a new batt, i went home.

 

Wednesday, started my bike, voltage was at 12.0 MAX. Rode quite a fair distance, it dropped even further till it died on me again after about 45 mins of riding.

 

I remembered reading this problem in this thread about a bro who had the same problem while he was riding up north, the cause of the problem was a burnt magnetic coil. Towed my bike to Planet at around 8.45pm, Ah Chong had to wait up for me, lol, was shocked when he told me that our bike's magnetic coil is not covered under the warranty given by Boon Siew as they claim it as an electrical component and the warranty only covers engine components. Has anyone managed to get Boon Siew to replace their coil? If yes please reply to this post as my 1 year warranty will officially end this month. If it is not covered, i'am screwed cause i know magnetic coils don't come cheap.

You can always go to boon siew and tell them warranty covered. Don't ask them. Tell them that. And ask them to change for ya. The only piece of mind when you change parts from Boon Siew is the parts are original honda parts. Be it manufactured from Thailand or Japan. Whatever you mentioned just not happened to a buddy of mine also. No more warranty. Changed his magnetic coil, rectifier and battery. $9XX(Not at Boon Siew).

 

Mind sharing what is your current mileage? Mine needs to be replaced soon. Hiaz....

Correct, not covered. Happened within the 1st year.

No choice but have to change the coil, rectifier & battery.

Wow where did u get it done? Same coil as revo?

[thatguyhaikal]

I just called boon siew, they claimed over the phone it is covered by warranty but was informed I had to book an appointment which has already been set for Monday, am just afraid they will play me out when I go down. I asked if it is confirmed it is covered they said yes, as long as I fulfill all the warranty requirements such as chops on warranty card
