as for petrol.....full tank last more dan 300km. normally, i top up whenever reaches 300km. -
"Some suggest another which is to reverse abit, 1/2 clutch gear 1 move forward, then kick immediately. " this works betterOriginally posted by RainXP:To j007,
Kick to neutral aren't a big problem, guess you are not use to it that all.
I mention 1 method, to off engine and on again. This method great as you need not reverse your bike.
Some suggest another which is to reverse abit, 1/2 clutch gear 1 move forward, then kick immediately.
Both method works...

well if problem fix, then i dun think its an issue loh.. -
both should light up...so long u brake, no matter front or rear. if either one does not light up, tat means that the wire inside is not connected either from the front or rear brake to the break light.Originally posted by j007:btw abt the brake light..

if ur one 1st hand than got so much problem than funny liao..Originally posted by j007:yeah.. cos shop owner told me to ride for a week, then go back do some fine tuning loh... -
fine tune wat? clutch freeplay?Originally posted by j007:u mean i have a worn out clutch cable??
just checked with bike shop, told me to go down for some fine tuning...
u see to my understanding wat happened was that my clutch cable worn out such that i need to adjust my clutch until the biting point is far away. the tension in the cable was worn out such that at fully clutch in it still did not clear the biting point ie still at biting point with fully clutch in. dats why at 1st gear cannot kick to neutral, but solved when switched off coz engine not running will be able to engage.
i solved it by adjusting biting point very far away. no probs but i wasnt comfortable with the far biting point so i changed the cable. like i mentioned, u can try checking by adjusting such that ur biting point is further away then usual. if it completely solve ur problem then its the cable. u can oso check by clutching in fully, at 1st gear, rev; if u can feel the bike wanting to move forward even at fully clutch in then u HAVE to adjust ur freeplay. -
my ta150 has both but need to step harder on foot brake to light up. front brake light tap and it will light up, i tend to use it to 'tap-tap' brake lights as a caution to vehicles behind me. look carefully and u will notice the contact point at the front brake lever with a button that activates the lights. rear brake i never realli check.Originally posted by j007:btw abt the brake light..

is it true tt its not advisable to use too much of engine brake for the bike?
-
Ya. If u wanna brake, use the brakes. They are there for the purpose. It's not healthy for the engine to use engine brake.Originally posted by j007:is it true tt its not advisable to use too much of engine brake for the bike? -
Graduate engine braking is alrite. Don't step down 2 gear a time lor. Raining day use more engine brake cos use brake hav chance for bike to skii...Originally posted by j007:is it true tt its not advisable to use too much of engine brake for the bike?

maybe as long we did apply some brakes, drop some speed and drop gear, from there obtain some engine brake, it shld be fine i guess....Originally posted by Enjoy^83:Ya. If u wanna brake, use the brakes. They are there for the purpose. It's not healthy for the engine to use engine brake. -
also when the bike is in upright position u shake a little and u still can see some petrol splashing inside, is it ok to last another 30km?? is this considered half tank level??Originally posted by j007:A full tank can last how long?
My new TA200 has difficulty to kick it to netural when its in stationary position, esp when i want to park it..whats the issue??
Normal gear change during riding is no problem...
another frd also told me theres a guage where i can check level of engine oil, where is it located?
sorry for my qns as iam really new to bikes....

think you can adjust the sensitivity of the brake light when you step on the rear brake..that's for TA200 lah.. just the nut infornt of the rear brake with the cable and nut.. tighten/lossen to adjust. realsie also that 2 seperated bubs for rear brake light.. one that is always on and the other lights up when you step on brake.Originally posted by Ducati996:my ta150 has both but need to step harder on foot brake to light up. front brake light tap and it will light up, i tend to use it to 'tap-tap' brake lights as a caution to vehicles behind me. look carefully and u will notice the contact point at the front brake lever with a button that activates the lights. rear brake i never realli check. -
Best is open out your tank to see for yourself. When in doubts, alway visit a station to pump up lor...
Engine oil you want to check for what? When you send for service every 3k(for old bike), they will change for you, u no need to top up 1 la.Originally posted by j007:also when the bike is in upright position u shake a little and u still can see some petrol splashing inside, is it ok to last another 30km?? is this considered half tank level??
