BBDC - Anyone Taking 2B There?

[Jeethan]

I study at business block so no choice...park at the slope leading to business block today. They blocked the bike slots with a container! I see CBR, SP, Kawa, Valkyrie...then my Phantom. Like out of place...haha!

Think tomorrow park behind FC4 then walk to my class.

 

Reached home safely~

Phantom got 6 gears quite troublesome...will forget which gear I'm on.

I already traveled around 300km...Open fuel tank still can see the fuel without shaking the bike...don't know when will the fuel be hitting reserve. No fuel meter troublesome.

 

yeah the absence of the fuel meter in phantom is the down point. but yet again the fuel meter also not very reliable.maybe you can ask about the fuel consumption and mileage in the phantom thread.

[Vashie]

i know it's about 35-40km/l...But I traveled over 300km already, the fuel is still visible while bike is on it's stand. Refueling while fuel is still visible is like...quite silly. Haha. Just worried ride halfway no more fuel then stop in the middle of road!

Anyway...just gave my helmet a good wash...it's causing me to grow pimples!

starting is like that 1. but you will get use to it by observing the speed and the rpm you are at. but i think phantom no rpm meter right? learn to listen to the engine sound then.

phantom got reserve switch? if so, when you feel the bike v jerky or feel like loss of power when you are traveling means petrol gonna run out already. switch to your reserve and you can last 1-2more litre worth of mileage.

 

but after you pump petrol, rem to switch back to the main tank. if not, next time the bike no petrol, you thought can switch to reserve also too late liao.

 

 

 

 

Anyway, here's something for you and Shunpo. Click here.

[Vashie]

Phantom got reserve switch! Tomorrow ride to school then see my petrol again.

Never pump petrol before...

[Jeethan]

i think you excited for your first time to pump petrol into your bike

[Shunpo]

thanks stanco for the manual =)

 

haha. at least you got go and check your milage sia. I totally nv check ~.~ just ride and if shake and feel not enough, go pump already lols. Hope dont die in the middle of expressway on day -.-

[Vashie]

I okay la...because when I take over the bike, it's almost 420000KM on the meter, so is quite easy to track.

I remember got certain petrol station the fuel pump need press this and that to unlock the fuel...scared later don't know how to get the fuel out from pump a bit throw face.

 

When starting bike in the morning...how best to let it warm up?

Turn ignition on, start the bike, then leave it to idle awhile?

 

Shunpo so daring...get bike few days do so many things already! I still taking things slowly.

Did you service your bike yet?

[Shunpo]

Some petrol station need to flip a ledge thingy to "on" the pump.

Some need to type in an amount (mainly for car I guess)

Some take out can press liao o.o

 

Initially I dont dare pillion, but then, since weekday, and traffic is not exactly that deadly, just try first xD

 

My biggest problem is not knowing the way, and I take very long to remember a route =.= that's why always lost somewhere near my destination ,but can't get there ..

 

Not yet service. But planning to change couple of things like box and foot rest and maybe handle bar. So for now just letting my phantom wear and tear first. Learning the bike first =D

[Vashie]

When and where do you plan to service your bike? Maybe we can go together!

If those kind need type in amount...what to do?

 

Traffic always seems deadly to me! Today don't dare do much lane change as the cagers looks menacing...so stayed behind a bus most of the time with safe following distance. Front view blocked by the bus so was extremely cautious.

I find that the position of the UI on my bike like not very nice. Blocked the view of all the lights (neutral, signal light, high beam light). Sometimes will not sure if I on my signal or off it already.

[Shunpo]

yea. maybe one day we can meet up and go together

 

As for the amount type (which is at my house nearby esso), I just randomly wack a number ~.~ then just pump.

 

I guess how the thing works is that once you enter the amount (usually is how much $ worth of petrol) , you can press and hold it there until it hit the amount stated. Then it'll stop. Though you can press again for more if you find it insufficient.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, coz I'm also a noob here lols.

 

 

it's okay, ride safely than be sorry bah. I find myself a little too reckless sometimes, especially when cars try to "eat" me, and I just die die chiong with him =.= dangerously stuff, so must try to change my attitude le.

 

For me, I would rather not stay behind a big vehicle cos view will be obstructed. I usually try to overtake bus or stay more to the right side of the centre lane so at least I can see what's ahead..

 

And dont stay behind trucks and such on expressway~ They go freaking fast (for their size) and their dirt/dust/whatever particles flying out from their gigantic wheels hurts zzz

stanco i a bit blur after reading

 

so for 4 stroke bike, white smoke means piston ring got prob?

 

2 stroke leh?

[39plus27]

Hi folk, I've been driving all along. When you pump petrol, it will automatically stop pumping when your tank is full. Even if you enter amount, if it's full, it will automatically stop. So, you need not worry if it would overflow.

[stanco]

for pumping of petrol, just insert the nozzle into your tank, wait for the display to reset/clear then press the trigger, petrol will flow out liao. once the petrol level in the tank is in line with the nozzle, it will automatically cut off the petrol. (now, of cos u can raise the nozzle higher to pump more petrol in, but do take note just in case it overflow.)

 

the key in method is more for cars.. sometimes drivers just tell the attendant to pump in a specific amount of petrol (maybe budget or company transport policy etc). not that bike cant do that, but our tank already so small, might as well just pump full.

 

another thing to take note is that you can sit on your bike to pump for caltex, but not for shell. esso, i am not so sure.

not necessary piston ring lah. might be water in tank or maybe wet plugs also. since i open that thread until now i never change any piston ring, but never encounter it again.

 

2 stroke bike with white smoke ah... maybe the rider find the road got alot of mozzies so wanna fog the road?

 

http://www.mosquitoesandmore.com/images/mosquito_fogging_pic1.jpg

 

if the white smoke is when you just start your bike from cold, it's normal according to some people. the white smoke is due to the heat from the bike in contact with water vapour. but it should clear off shortly.

 

if there is still smoke even after your bike has fully warmed up... then maybe is 2T problem. should be 2T running too thick. try changing another brand or use premix.

 

Worse case scenario. Click here.

 

anyway you got your bike liao?

Congrats Jeethanasim!

I think if dream bike is class 2...might as well just skip 2A. Save up the money for dream bike!

 

Good luck on finding a problem free bike Fried Rice!

 

The fuel pump sensor to stop petrol is located at the tip of the nozzle? Means when fuel just nice touch the nozzle, the fuel will stop flowing out right?

Today went motoworld...wanted to get full face helmet. The new batch with size M coming in only at June...Need hold back on getting my FF.
