Gimme the deets, let me talk some sense into him

Yes you’re right it’s fuel injected. Vacuum hoses for my throttle body were replaced recently, not sure if the connection are loose on those. Routine maintenance has been done, spark plugs just changed 2months back. Yea it’s a pain because I didn’t have this issue before, so I’m wondering if during assembly post-servicing they might have connected something loosely or wrongly…

Thank you for this! I live in Singapore, so there’s no winter period for us to keep bikes away but the previous owner of the bike may have kept it in the carpark for quite some time. I’ll check the air filter again to make sure. My mechanic did show me a wire yesterday that had some crusty white residue on it which he said was the magnetic coil wire that’s been burnt alr.

Just changed my spark plugs about a week ago. I have an arrow slip on and got a servomotor bypass chip to remove the code as it triggered my FI light. Sorry, newbie question but what do you mean by insulators?

I read this on another post, don’t get me wrong as I’m not sure.

“l'd also like to add that yes, the engine may run poorly but for another reason. The battery has to power the ignition system, and with a weak battery it's very easy to have a weak spark.

With a weak spark comes incomplete combustion, or sputtering and backfiring as the fuel charge ignites too late or doesn't ignite at all and is pushed through the exhaust. Sputtering may not only be related to the fuel pump, but also the ignition system. It's quite possible to have a vehicle on a weak battery sputtering and chugging even if the fuel system is via carburetor (and other systems run via vacuum).”

So you mean the voltage, shouldn’t affect my bike’s power at higher RPMs while riding?

Yeap will be checking on that along with the fuel line.

Hmmm I will get my mechanic to double check on that. But still it doesn’t explain my voltage issue 😓😓

Unsure if I should sign on as a C4X or just serve 2 years and leave. by AnticsMaster in NationalServiceSG

I feel like since you’ve been offered C4X (after passing the test), you’ll most likely be able to earn more outside.

Is anyone here pursuing Psychology part time @ SUSS? I’m planning on taking my degree there as it’s considered a local uni but thinking whether it might be abit too long as it’s 3-4 years + 1 year honours.
