Hi, bros, anyone knows how much to change the CDI for steed?

[Rampage]

Hoho...i juz change my cdi. Being charged $410. Asked fjt they say cost $450. Damn...

[tymebomb]

Ouch.. Why you change your Cdi? What are the symptoms for a faulty Cdi?

[Rampage]

My bike died off like there's no fuel supply. Can start back for a while but just wont last. After that u cannot start ur bike totally. U cant even push start ur bike. Dont keep on pressing ur starter button as it will just weaken ur battery. U will hv to end up changing both cdi n battery instead.

[Rampage]

My mech told me its e cdi issues n after he put e new one in, it just start upimmediately like a healthy bike n yeah it burnt my pocket! Good luck.

[tymebomb]

my case was when it run after awhile, it will sound like it is getting insufficient fuel. And when i throttle, it will be go again.. Had check the fuel lines and such and all is alright. Now suspecting it might be CDI issues. was thinking about getting a second hand one..hehehe

[Rampage]

Yup it does sound like insufficient fuel supply. Now hard to find a secondhand one. i tried..haha..

What kind of starting problem? Eg, you can hear the cranking sound but cant start, or totally no sound at all?

[osmanpauzan]

Hi guys,

 

i'm getting a 97' VSE this fri. So happy to join the Steed family at last!

 

As this is my first 2A bike, i like to check which are the important things to take care of during routine servcing or even look out for while riding? And may i also ask, why is that so?

 

For my current air-cooled 4-stroke 2B bike, i always ask my mech to change eo, change spark plug, check both brakes, check chain tension, check battery voltage and service carb. I understand an old 2A bike got more things to watch out for but i'm a complete noob on this.

 

Kindly advise Thk u in advance!

can be wiring or starter. Worst case scenario your coil. But can b other causes like coolant too. hard to predict old bike.

Welcome Veil. Enjoy ur ride..

Steed's a near bulletproof bike! Just do your regular servicing like your class 2B bike will do. Welcome to the Steed family!

I like ur bulletproof description! Sounds like my 2003 Honda CG125 which is an actual BBDC school bike. Duno hw many ex-learner dropped, skidded, crashed n ram the life out of it b4 i took over last Mar! But seriously still going strong!

 

See u guys soon!

[Veil]

Any pics of ur bike?

 

Dun haf yet coz im doing the transfer on fri. I will post my bike pics next monday.

 

Oh ya, any shop got sell the exact front rim of our bike n do hepco carry suitable hard side panniers? I hope its not too protruding and no need to relocate the rear signals too. Anyone had a similar setup?

Do have the mech to check through the major wiring harnessess. I had engine performance problems for a few months back and finally had it pin point to a lousy alternator to rectifier wire connection. My spark plugs did not have enough current to spark brightly under sudden snap throttle input, and engine sputter as a result. Apparently the battery alone is not enough.

 

And check that there's no exposed bare wires. I had my license light wire exposed when I took over and it touched the frame one fine night and shorted my sub circuit, killing all lights except the headlight. Had to brake early and gently and lane change really slowly withought signal lights...

 

Old bikes like mine have been throught more than 7 owners and some might have brought them to sloppy mechanics who join wires by simply twisting them together - a big no no for high current wires. After having them cut, soldered and crimped, my bike now runs like a champ. And achieve 27 km/l while at it =p

 

Oh and do remember to change the oil filter together with every EO change. Passing new EO through dirty oil filter = dirty EO quickly. It's recommended by manual as well.
