runner 180 SG

I'm riding Ta 200, just serviced my bike include washing of carureter, but feel that the bike engine like going to die off when was coming to a stop. Wondering, so when reach home, dun know whether is idiling problem, so decided to turn the knot myself, i also dun know whether its the correct one to turn, a black knot on the right side, the bike like.... behave so differently before/after the servicing.
Anyone experience the same thing or it had something to do with the mechanic??? Crying or Very sad Pls help

you may have adjusted the air screw instead of the idling screw. tha air screw should never be adjusted. take it bak to the mech. he will be able to help you better.

i tot the black knot on the right is the cap for engine oil? or is it another black knot you tokking bout? Question

There is two screws on your carb ... one is for air and one is for fuel ... my advise would be you can try taking it back to the mech that you have serviced your bike ... he will know how to tune your bike ... Laughing

I've(riding 150SP) encountered this problem b4 also.The mechanic who fixed the problem told me it's because the mech who wash my carb didn't do a good job and there's water remaining in the carb. The feeling is like turning on ur choke and move.....Hope this would help u...

ya i also think that motordiam just trying to scare you only ... if carb was not properly dry at the time of servicing ... just tell the mech to take out and dry properly lor ... at the most change a spark plug if it is wet ...

There are few way the engine oil can get into the combusion chamber, usually is the piston rings broken. Shoud not happen to a new bike, unless you really push it to the limit. (If the piston ring broke, the engine will be noisy).

If the 4T oil get into the piston, you will see black smoke.
Try smell the exhaust gas abit, if the 4T leak in to piston, you should smell some oil in the exhaust gas. Normally 4strokes engine should be quite clean.

Dont adjust the carburetor if you are not sure about it. Pay a bit to a good mechanic for some tuning.

4 strokes bike should sure quite lasting, no problem to ride for 10years if you really taking care.

Maybe someone can recommend a good mechanic ?

Just for your reference.

Thanks!!! Anyway the workshop that i went to is along yio chu kang rd, opp serangoon stadium. Anyone been to that workshop, looks quite ok to me. I actually get a brand new splitfire spark plug, the mechanic then took my bike go round for ard 10min, come back and then show me the spark plug, gosh!! black black one!!! Exclamation they blow my throttle and told me about the problem, engine blah blah blah!!!!!!
They also told me for phantom, use lousy 4T, lousy petrol(92), but use the best spark plug. And to sevice the bike every 1000km,,,,,,,,,, Question Idea
How,????????? Headache leh,

ChinaMan SG

OMG!!!!!! is the bikeshop Yu*L**g? get yur feet out of there forever and ever............

runner 180 SG

Tell me more please, did you had a bad experience over that particular shop, do share with us. Thanks.

LaoCheh SG

They told you that ? Shocked
You better avoid this shop....

TA200 has a higher compression ration, don't use petrol lower than 95, it will cause problem to your engine.

This 4 strokes engine has only 4T oil to cool + lubricate the gears, clutch... You should use a better 4T oil, use some semi-sync oil, price around $12.

Service the bike every 1000km ???!! Shocked Like that, I need to service my bike every 2 weeks ? Mad

You just need to change the 4T oil every 3000-6000KM (ard 3 months), + spark plug + check filter etc.

l3stat SG

your mechanic use WATER to clean your carb?!? liews!!!!

l3stat SG

as the rest have said, check for smoke, indication of loose piston rings. other than that, it's just simply that your jettings are too rich. bring it to the mech. it's your slow and pilot jets that are out, for now.

oh yes please avoid that workshop you went to...

roger SG

the boss is a guy called steven. if he tells you that your phantom needs to be overhauled, do not believe him.

every bike he sees he sure say got some problems one. avoid that shop.

runner 180 SG

Oh, ok, so that bike shop is under the black shop list Exclamation
Will avoid that shop and go try out others next month, see wat they had to say abt my bike..........
