i'm riding phantom 200 (TA200)

the ound mite simply be tt yr drive chain has becum loose.... get it tightened.
service yr engine oil, spark plugs, oil filter.... always chk the level of oil for yr ta200, it,s bin knwn to 'consume' engine oil. -

after checking, going thru the bike, taking it apart, lots of advice from mechs,etc etc....
we finally came out with a conclusion.... and that is....
MANFUCTURING FAULT. some of our bikes do not have this problem even after we thrash it ard. so i guess lucky matters?
just my 2 cents worth -
the whole package chain plus spocket .... is $180 is it cheap ...
than wats the diff between x ring and o ring ...
not sure ......
quite truth lah ... manefactor fault my frd ride for 1 year also no problem .... me 5 month something worng like ....

sorry for being offtopic but ur nick sounds awfully familiar...Originally posted by xiao_p:can oso be the crutch... heard that phantom got tiz problem

anyway, clutch control affecting the lifespan of the chain is a definate.
clutch controls the amount of wheel spin and how u drag gears
together with the throttle.
u can also say clutch control affects the spockets as well then? -
well as long as ur bike is new, go back to the place u bought it or the workshop...
they shld fix it free for u...
unless its the riders fault tt has damaged the parts -
hmm can meh ... ?
i bought from atan at ubi...
this kind of thing is wear and tear will they do it ? -
give them a call lah, how can u be sure...
just let them advise u -
calling might not be the solution...
they can always cook up lame excuses.
i would rather visit the shop with a bunch of friends who knows how to talk? -
yah u mean x|ao_p??Originally posted by cookiesol:sorry for being offtopic but ur nick sounds awfully familiar...

Just like to contribute some.
First I've riding my TA200 for nearly a year without much mishap, except skipped off the road due to the original damn lousy IRC tires (got it changed soon after that)
All bike chain needs constant lubricating due to Singapore wet / dry weather and proper monmitoring of it tension. Too tight a chain is not suitable for pillion as it needs to stretch more.
Don't throw clutch while shifting gear, this will cause the bike to jerk and to cause unnecessary tension on the chain. I always change gear, throttle abit before slowly letting the clutch go. Hehe..., my chain has never been adjusted since I bought the bike. But regular engine servicing is a must.
Then coming to the famous phantom sound....I got it smoothen out by pouring in engine additive. now the bike is smooth and quiet. I can tell the diff when riding next to a phanton on the road.
Well, always take care the bike well and the bike will take care of you while you are on it.
Happy riding! -
... nvm, i noe why liaozOriginally posted by xiao_p:yah u mean x|ao_p?? -
