VocalNeal Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 On Wednesday the new barrel and domed piston was fitted to the scooter. Now a staggering 120cc???? Was concerned the starter would suffer from the higher compression but seems it has auto decompression.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 ???? Just because I can. Found the local re bore business, bought the barrel from Honda etc. I would have fitted it myself but easier if the local shop does it as he has a lift and I've got creaky knees. CVT and spring etc I can do as I lay the bike on its side. Oh! I should change the injector for which I also don't need creaky knees . It'll run a bit rich but...

Kwasaki Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The stiff clutch cable eventually snapped, new cable and silicone spray today. ???? Hyperdemic needle from an injector fits nicely on end of sonax tube to inject into new cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Changed the injector but couldn't get the idle speed perfect but then realized I have "Idle/Stop". Now I'm not worried about it being perfect as the engine stops. It doesn't need to idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 ^ No just leave it on Idle/Stop. I might continue to play. Haven't seen if I can easily adjust the airflow yet. Only one screw visible. Stable at 2100 but book says 1700. Mind you it never was really stable at 1700. I only notice as I have a tach.. Most won't know what the idle speed is.

papa al Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 VN, if papa hooks a spark-pickup tach to say the ceeber150 HT lead, the indicated reps will be 2x the actual rpm. Fires twice per 4-cycle, at near top for ignition and top before intake. 2100 on the meter would be 1050 true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Just readjusted my handlebars after riding into a "journey to the centre of the earth" pothole. I thought the mirrors had been shaken loose but no the force of my weight on the bars had pushed them forward. Bonus:- I know the phone mount works as my phone was still in the holder. Would have been a tank slapper if the scooter had a tank???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Handle bar conversion and with a new supplied clutch cable for the bike it is not long enough. The clutch is a heavy pull so saw this gadget on Lazada, i bought to give me move length and reach bit it does make the clutch much lighter on pull.

papa al Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 2016 KTM Duke 200. Daisy. Have had this rattle, chain-like , at low R’s. So ordered a new cam-chain tensioner, as online folks seem to have had this prob. B1930.+ local labor. Didn’t help. Bought a new 520 drive-chain and ordered a 14T sprocket from a shop in Chiangmai. Some confusion but eventually the part showed up. B760. My mech installed and said he had the same sprocket, in stock [same as for Honda NSR,] B150. ???? The old sprocket was very worn. All sorted.

papa al Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 2012 Yamaha Nouvo SX 10 yrs old now. Staring system has been sluggish and gave up this AM. Had moto-taxi push her to shop. B100 New battery & relay B950. To car wash, B100. Again to shop for oils change [Amsoil by me, B270], & gear oil, old air filter nasty, ∂, drain & replace coolant & front brake fluid. Check drive belt, OK. Lube pivot joints. Set tire pressure. B760. To inspection station for annual tax/insurance/inspection. B681. ~3000baht altogether w/ tips. Good to go, love long time.

Kwasaki Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 In contrast looked at my Airblade now 16 years old, Castrol power 1 still looks good after 3years not done enough kilos to change yet. Never changed anything on it except for totally recharged dead batteries and slick tyres showing inner lining. Don't think Papa would approve. ????
