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

this is gonna cost u a bomb! i hate to say this but...i tried to warn u guys... anyways...this is yr last resort! read the following:

tell him firmly tt u r not going to pay...make sure he gets the msg loud and clear...if can...tell him infront of potential buyers(haahaa)anyway... where u buy from ?

19 Jul 01, 12:04

i didnt buy from the shop, i only COI, anyway the seller was quite honest and we went to a diam in sin ming rd and we changed the batt, spark plug, wash carb, wash valve, change chain, all cost 50-50, anyway after that, the bike went well 4 the rest of the day and everything went on smoothly, and it is by then during the 2nd and 3rd day when all this crap cock up, i call the owner and he said its not fair to blame him now, he will come up wif 100 bucks more 4 the repair which i feel its quite fair, at the time of transcation the bike was well, any way, just my luck....haiz...

Singaporeans are like that... Boh Chup.. even when people accident all these, Singaporeans will only stand there and see show.... *FUCK TUP*

There was once, i work Pizza Hut, i with my fren wack all the way in a private house road. We raced till the end of the road and came to a junction, it was GREEN light, my fren chiong all the way through the junction, a fucking Merc turn left and my fren Langa the Merc.... my fren that time jialat, i was behind, slow down, and i helped my fren up... The fucking Merc like wanna stop don wanna stop like that, THEN THE MERC RUN AWAY!!!!!!!! CHAO CHEEBYE!!! Then the junction was a ANG MOH guy riding chopper, he helped us gave chase on the MERC and forced the MERC to come back... we fucked the guy upside down... and NEXT beside the scene was a constuction, a BANGLADESH worker ran down with a bottle of water to give my fren... and we all help to pick up the pizza hut bike... and the rest????? Was a few Singaporeans ah pek and uncle WATCHING ONLY... this has terribly disaappointed me towards such Singaporeans..

Can u ever imagine???? The jucntion so many SINGAPOREANS cars and bike, why only the ANG MOH gave chase?? The other singaporeans also saw the HIT AND RUN situation infront!!! They still like nobody's business!!!??!?!?!?!

Fuck, i am also a Singaporean myself. I myself is not like this. That time at Lavander i was trying to crosss the road juntion, a Malaysian KUP KIA Accident infront of me!!! ONLY ME AND MY FRENS WENT TO HELP HIM TO THE PAVEMENT!!! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE JUNCTION ALONE GUIDING THE TRAFFIC!! WHILE WAITING FOR THE QX TO COME!! *coz the kup kia is in the middle of the road* SO whats the rest of the Singaporeans?? A few fucking cheebye auntie and uncle and ah pek down there kao peh kao bu, but their hands put behind them and standing there like a log. And down there tok tok tok and even copied down the number plate to buy 4D!???!! FUCK MAN!!!! The rest of my frens and i were only doing the work..

So what u guys think?

Next time u all see accidents, don just throttle and go away, or see show only... stop your engine, park ur bike and HELP them...

i can say u oso a road bas3rd hehe, if u accident one day all blood, the auntie uncle down there copy ur bike number instead of calling 995 for u, what will u think? So what if malaysian riders? Yes they sia lan, but also human beings right? Its just that they are not much educated people, thus their attitude towards road is also not good. Eh they take licence not like SSDC leh, they just pay a fucking kopi $$ and they got their licence leh, what u expect?

Sometimes they speed all these is not becoz they wanna show off. I've realised that they are all rushing for the custom to go home early to have dinner with their family. U 6pm to custom see their fucking rd jam lor.. then u will know their "TONG KU"....

Ivan, sometimes hor, u must put urself in their shoes....
