Hi everybody,

Just to start a new topic to only concentrate on problems and issues.

ENGINE SWITCH OFF PROBLEM (September 2007, 1,400 km)
----------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION: Happens during hard braking and/or at slope (so far, only
downhill).
As of now, it happens both when FUEL GAUGE is low and FULL; hence my
believe it's not the fuel level, but more to the caburator having issues or
design fault (position).
FIX/WORKAROUND: Do not brake so hard : ) - btw, after the engine is OFF,
don't panic... you can restart the engine in a couple of seconds.

lance - LOL hasn't happened to me yet, maybe you need to get your bike
checked, might be a one off thing.

Hi guys, I just got my new GTS last week. thanks to UOLS for having this
kind of discussions so that ppl like me can make decision easier... btw,
i'm still wondering of the O/R or oil reset button function on the meter
panel. does anyone know about this?

[mikhailh]

supposedly it resets a counter. Meaning u tekan, pastu after 3000 km (dunno
what the number really is) oil change light akan pasang. then once you
service, then tekan jelah button tu, dia reset for the next 3000 km.

Hehehhehe rasanya lah!

btw, kalau basuh motor jer sure hujan. tension

[OPe]

oooo ic... but u sound like not really sure with yr answer. anyway, tq and
i'll "tekan jelah button tu" when i send my GTS for service tomorrow. What
is yr mileage reading mike?

my advice: tak yah ler cuci moto engkau tu ... dah nak dkt Raya ni... nnt
hujan hari2 engkau jugak yg susah nak balik kampung.

To all muslim... I would like to wish u guys "Selamat Hari Raya". Do lock
yr bike when you go for balik kampung...

[mikhailh]

LOL! tulah dia, siapa kata aku balik kampung? kalau balik pun tak naik
motor nya! :D cuti tak dapek, tulah dia kerja oil n gas ni. especially
kalau service company.

my mileage? less than 2k! :D nanti lepas 2k service i test the button.

[OPe]

Alahai sorry ler.... kesian nyer. mintak tolong sket bleh? tolong jgn cuci
moto engkau esok sbb aku nak balik kg... nnt ujan lebat lg susah aku nak
blik kg. muah ha ha ah. mike, moto wat color? Dah buat cosmetic change to
yr GTS? in case if we bum to each other somewhere in KL at least i can
recognize u.

lance, r u around?

Aiks! This topic oso kena "hijack".

I will post my "sembang" in the other 2 topics, later ...



Anyway, to clarify the problem. So far, it has happened TWICE.
Once is Fuel at 2 bars and going down slope with hard braking
2nd time was Fuel at FULL and hard braking on level ground

Hi lance! sorry to "hijack" yr thread. i'm new here. back to yr prob, hv u
check yr engine timing? could be yr timing is too low. i've experienced
this before with my elegan.

[lance]

Ha ha ha - good point...

Problems is ...
1st time - engine idle was 2,000 rpm
2nd time - after Liong set it to 1,500 rpm
Not convinced it's related to idle speed ... i could be wrong, but not likely.
