if you love yours, gd 4 u,i dunno abt myself, used to love it,
but quite half hearted...
here is my story, going to be quite long but hope u can help
3 days ago i bought an FP replica, it is my bery first
bike...
the bike has a problem, sometimes it can start, but sometimes it
cant...i changed the battery, spark plug, wash valve and carb and
add coolant ok(i know someone here has the same problem but mine is
a bit different, ok jack?) the bike went well for the day, on the
second day, which is mon, i was abt to go to sch, the bike cannot
start, so i pushed started it, another problem is, the battery seem
to have bery short life span, it will go flat after 8-10 tries,
anyway the bike fail to start again when i was returning home, got
to push start again, in my sch carpark (between bus and IT sch
carpark in TP) i was quite frustrated and push start it without my
helmet, when it got started, i revved and revved, until i reach the
end, and then wad did i see? 2 police car, haha, i got the shock of
my life, but lucky, no cops saw mi, the cars were vacant. On my way
back, the bike died 3 times on the road, twice stationary, once in
motion, it almost got mi into shit, as it die in the middle of the
rd, i was travelling at 80km/h, the engine just "tack" and
everything went silent, hai...got stuck outside bedok camp, manage
to push it to the carpark behind the food centre, push start fail,
batt went totally flat, when u press the start button, the lcd and
neutral lite went blank, but then a few biker friends came down and
then my friends switch it to reserve and the bike start
miraculosely, dunno why....anyway we concluded that nite that it is
due to "tiam you"petrol stuck in carb or something like that(
correct mi if i m wrong), thus when i reach home that niote, i turn
off the switch under the oil tank, the next morning it started ( u
thought that it is solved? i thought so too) anyway when i reach
school and later when i went home everything went smoothly, BUT it
died halfway again, this time my GF was wif mi and we were stuck in
the middle of the rd, damn , the lorry behind blasted his horn , he
neber see the pathetic rider in front of him trying to start his
bike, anyway, as usual the bike would not start, and AS USAUL, the
batt went flat, the LCD only read 8 volt... hai... that was the
last straw, i push the bike to the nearest carpark and push started
it, and told my GF to go back alone..... i went all the way frm
bedok to sin ming rd , the "mother bike shop is there" i m damn
stress all the way, it would be scray if the bike die in the middle
of CTE, ok anyway while i was on CTE (ang mo kio) my HP started to
vibrate, but i ignored it, i manage to reach the place safely
luckily... but when i call back to my GF (callled when i was @
CTE)she say a MAD guy in the bus harass her, the guy sat next to
her and mumble to himself and then start to look at her after that
he started to scold her in vulgarities, he even hit her wif his
elbows, CCB I M GOING TO HUNT HIM DOWN...worse is, the bus is
crowded but nobody seem to help....haiz.... ok back at the bike
shop,the mech try to start the bike and it started within half a
second (patient scared docter?the mech also suspect the
following
back fire or engine fire( i m not sure abt this, hope i got it
rite)
coil is faulty
"you zhum" (metal piece in carb 4 controlling petrol flow) is
faulty
in short, my problems are:
bike dies halfway (stationary and in motion)
batt life short
neber been able to restart after it die
additional info:
avg temp- 70 to 80
highest temp 92
batt: avg 10-12 volt
at 3k RPM : 10-13 volt
more than 5 tries, batt becomes weak
more than 10 tries, batt flat(i thought its new?)
my questions for all is
how much does the coil cost? where to find 2nd hand
wad r your diagnosis?
anyway...bad start 4 mi, ride a problematic bike 4 3 days, no bike
today...haiz...thanx 4 reading guys...
gd day
