Troy437, can you check how much fork oil we need when you service your forks? Wanna change my fork oil myself. My oil seals are still good, just changing to a higher viscosity oil..

[madman]

anyone knows wad could be wrong with my vlx600?

 

cos i know tank is 11 litres, 3 Ltr is reserve, based on research online.

 

so based on calculation from many weeks, my FC is 17km/L, can last till 180+km.

 

I ran outta petrol at 160km, reserve on also no use, totally dry. Gotta push to petrol kiosk and managed to only pump 9.5ltr in, up to brim oredi.

 

my question is, where's the other 1.5ltr go to? i check tank it's totally empty, tank is stock, so cant be it's only 9.5 ltr capacity rite?

[Sprint74]

What petrol RON you use? Did you check tank before refuelling? Was it totally empty?Maybe petrol c0ck got problem and petrol will not flow when turned to reserve. Or any smell of fuel on your engine parts (fuel leakage somewhere)? Maybe your tank cannot lock so ppl siphon your 1.5L of petrol.. Or probably someone sabo you by turning your

c0ck to reserve, and reset your speedo when you just top up petrol (mileage at 20km) . Prob by the next refuelling then you'll know if there is really a problem..(Didn't know got censorship board here, can't even type petrol c**k properly)

Relax Madman,ur Shadow 600 is the older wan. 9 liter fuel tank. The newer 600 models that uses the same tank as Steed never made it here. U can try look for 2nd hand steed tank. VLX,VSE both 12liters. VLS springer 9 liters

Looks like a steed modded to look like an 'Indian'..

The only thing that gives it away is the 'honda' wording below the v-twin.

 

Nice revamp.. very blink-blink! chrome macham new!

Nice fuel tank and footrest!

 

Pardon my ignorance. What's the oval part beside the front frame covers for?

Air filter. The fake pushrods doesn't allow the use of the original airbox.

Hmm...I ask tomorrow. dunno much about fork oil. I just went to Planet today and Ah Chong quote me $85 flat to change the fork oil and fork seals for my Steed. I left my bike there and he say can collect tomorrow. I try to ask...

Yes, you will feel it when you go fast past a hump. In my case, I felt the suspension push in to the max and 'knock' inside.

Hi thanks!

 

So is there a spring inside or I just have to change the oil?

[Troy437]

Hi thanks!

Hi I dun think there is any spring inside. If got spring, might as well change a strong spring, why add oil, right?

I think the last batch of Steed Springers have spring forks to solve this fork oil maintenance issue. Just my 2 cents.

[deckard]

17km /l ?? more siong than sportster

I am also not sure. Because I saw the following in the manual?

[MUSHA]

If ur bike is old just scrape it, save our environment from pollution. Learn to be considerate.

 

If all old bikes are scrapped, then where the hell did classics come from?

92oct will do..

 

I tot 92 is a bit too low. My fd riding a FL Steed uses 92 too.

Bike is a FN plate and a COE bike, so I use Vpower for maximum response!

 

I was even thinking of adding the 'STP' Octane booster (which I saw on ads and now on offer at NTUC and some car accesories shop) as it says it is like jet fuel. One bottle can treat one car fuel tank. But bike dunno how to mix correctly. also dunno safe for bikes or not...
