31/May/01	1 我成日聽d人話要洗"cup", 是電單車邊部分?有何用?幾時要洗? 2 我買咗車半年,想拎佢做bodycheck,大約幾錢?通常會檢查d乜? thx!! Raku ryushin@hkstar.com "cup" 是化油器carburettor的香港通俗叫法。化油器的作用是隨著不同轉速來抽取適當份量的汽油，使之和空氣混合霧化，以供引擎燃燒。正常健康的電單車無需洗化油器。但如果油缸生銹，汽油有雜質，或在油缸有油的情況下存放超過數月，電油開始變質，化油器可能會積聚雜質或不利燃燒的沉澱物，便需要拆開清洗。無病無痛，檢乜o野查？車行會問你架車有乜唔妥，如果你話冇，咁佢地就會撻下部車，睇下易唔易著，扭下油，聽聽聲，看看扭油反應是否爽快。擰下D鏍絲帽，睇下上得實唔實。當然少不免check下胎氣，睇下迫力皮夠唔夠，扶下條尾鍊，掃下個尾轆，睇下條鏈鬆緊是否恰當。檢查前叉有冇漏油，尾避震打柴未。唔收錢的話全程三分鐘有找。如收你錢就會拖慢D做，HK$ 100以下都算公道。
31/May/01	執事先生: 你好! 本人有台93 Steed 400，行走已46k，問題如下： 1. 近日發覺後避震處車架因銹食已開始發脹、車輪亦見銹蹟，怎麼辦? 如何去除? 46k公里不算多，照計應該重有排玩。車架生銹可用鋼絲綿省走銹漬，補防銹油，乾後再用油筆修補便成。電鍍生銹只能用電鍍專用的研磨劑耐心處理。 2. 車子亦開始乏力，若是壓力問題(通常車行都是洗東換西，事後依然故我)又如何維修處理? 貴唔貴? 架車冇力，是你習慣了它的馬力，還是真的肯定機器有問題？耗油量有否大幅上升？如離合器有輕微打滑，也會影響動力傳送。 3. 頭 Fork 彎了少許，如何彈正? 頭Fork輕微彎曲，可交給車行彈Fork，但只能改善外觀，金屬疲勞下次好易又有事。 4. 車身想有點改裝，有什麼好介紹? 商號地址? 如果你部車有咁多未明白的問題，重駛錢改裝？巡航車的裝飾品可留意安定車行有乜好介紹。 Kam kam_lai@hkbn.net
29/May/01	我想請教網主一件事! 因為我是個電單車初哥,所以有好多野都唔識..請多多指教!! 1)點解人地叫"大包圍車"做"啡呤車".. 2)"啡呤" 係咪等如 "啤呤".. 3)平軑, 低軑同高軑有乜唔同? 謝謝!! anton leung anton_leung@hotmail.com 「啡呤」一詞取自英文 "Fairing"譯音，唔係「啤鈴Bearing」。Fairing是電單車為了抵抗高速風壓的擾流設計，用意減低風阻，可提高極速，也能令騎士免受風壓之苦。由於這套「啡呤」把電單車包圍整個圍住，所以索性叫「大包圍」Full Fairing。正常的把手位置是平軑，屬中性操控，是一般街車常見的設定。低把手低軑的用意是方便騎士伏低上身避風，窄角度的把手傾角也減低騎士在高速時向把手錯誤施力的機會。高把手高軑適用於巡航款色的電單車上，為了保持上身挺直甚至微向後仰而設，寬闊的把手更為了表達「豪邁」的視覺享受，是追求性格及舒適，而不是追求操控的設計。
29/May/01	主持你好: 本人看過你的網站後獲益不少, 本人末來數月會選購選250cc綿羊車, 其中有幾款較為喜歡,有: Yamaha Majesty 250/ Honda Foresight 250/ Suzuki AN250 但在街上所看到的大部份都是 Majesty 250居多, 其他兩款卻較為少見, 想請問是否此兩款不好嗎? 在車主報告中並無提及Honda Foresight這款車, 三款之中那款會較為好, 請提供一些意見, 非常感謝! 心急人上 Frankie ff62chan@hotmail.com 又係個句，要先知道你想要乜，才可答到你的問題。論通行多零件補品改，舊款Majesty250最多。車價亦有平有貴。最舊款96/97前碟後鼓的Majesty兩萬起已有交易。新款最貴的Majesty 250二手價徘徊在三萬尾四萬頭之間。AN250因受13吋輪框所限，上斜或起步反應未及其他對手。不過乖坐空間感十足。 Foresight 250因為風擋和把手連成一體，和以往Freeway250分別不大，欠缺豪華感，但操控則最靈活最似綿羊。座下空間也十足。由於Foresight車價最平冇佢份(徘徊在三萬餘之間)，最型又唔係佢，定位比較尷尬。至於AN250 ，車身一樣大小點解唔揀AN400？所以：經濟選擇 - Freeway250 (萬多元), 舊款Majesty(兩萬多).靚仔有型 - Forza 250(新車五萬多，二手四萬餘),or 新款Majesty.(新車五萬，二手四萬以下)
29/May/01	Dear Editor, My name is bobo, your website supporter. Recently, I read the article from your website regarding spark plus. The content is good. May I suggest to your website to organize a forum which enables us to ask some questions relating to our motorbike. If I have some problems relating to motorcycles, can I send email to your expert/ experienced drivers? Thank you for your attention. bobo 97074817@plink.cityu.edu.hk Thanks for your appreciation. As we mentioned at the section head of our "readers' sound" section, we encourage new comers raising their question to various motorcycle newsgroup in Hong Kong. Now we have 9 newsgroup, although many members are duplicated, but they will love to answer your question. So we don't think we should build another forum, just to repeat the existing newsgroups' functions. Don't get me wrong, we always welcome bikers/potential bikers send us email, and we usually reply it within 2 days. When we think the content might be useful to others, then we will post it in the "readers' sound" section.
28/May/01	主持，你好！上次經你指導，車已修好但現在又有新問題出現，敬請指教。本人有一台 xv400 電單車，常常著車時原全沒有反應，好像按了死火掣一樣，要來回按死火掣或另匙掣多次才能著車，好像有什麼接觸不良，電池很定有電的。現請問主持那一部分壞的機會較大？請多多指教！謝謝！ Sam Wong <ptming@netvigator.com> 你太客氣，大家傾下偈.o者，冇指導過D乜o野。既然你懷疑係接觸不良，試下去「鴨記」買電器專用的Contact Cleaner噴一噴，再睇下點？
27/May/01	Dear sir , Could you tell me how much pressure I have to pump into tire, Many people tell different number (eg. front 24 26,28 29 rear:27, 30 lb) . Which one is correct ???? I am riding SYM shark150 Tire front:MBR720 Front:100/90-12 MB61 Rear:130/70-12. Please help me to be a safe rider !!!!!!!thanks , Lover rider yip1238 <yip1238@email.com> There is no absolute number for tire pressure. It's all depends on loading and your usage. If you are a heavy rider, or always dual riding carrying a passenger, the tire pressure should be pumped to the higher end. If the tire pressure is too high, then you will feel the bike pumping when hitting the road, and the road contact (grip) is not sufficient. If the tire pressure is too low, then you will see your tire wearing out very fast, and suffering slow reaction when turning the bike. Try 26/30 psi first, if not satisfy on it, then try to release the pressure a little bit each time to find out best pressure fit your needs.
25/May/01	Dear editor, I am riding a magna 250, and I found that it has a poor handling as long wheelbase (currently it's using dunlop 404) , I am looking for best tyres (both dry and wet weather) to fit my bike, but it's really difficult because of its unusual sizes (front: 120/80/R17 Rear: 150/80/R15), Can u please to give me some suggestion on some specific tyre brands and models? Dassan Co dassanco@hotmail.com Sorry, no idea about magna 250 tyre selection. As Magna 250 is a baby cruiser, the requirements of the tyre is not so demanding, any touring tyre will do the job fine (no "dry" tyre" for cruiser but only all-weather tyre).
25/May/01	Dear Author, My bike is the time for replacing the spark plug. The current spark plug I'm using is the normal one, CR8E. In some newest magazine, I read that there is a new aprk plug called "Iridium IX", it is the product of NGK. In NGN official home page. it's performance is much better than PLATINUM plug. I have some questions about this: 1. Is it available in HK, or already in the market? 2. What is the price, e.g. CR8E IX? 3. Does the engine require special tunning when change the spark plug fomr normal to this new plug? 4. Are there anybody in HK already using this plug and what is their experience? Awaiting you prompt feedback with best regards, K.C. tigakcyu@netvigator.com I don't think Iridium spark plug is common in HK motorcycle shops. Although expensive cars already using iridium alloy plug as standard parts for a while. From my understanding, using this kind of spark plug do not need to re-tune the engine, but wondering how many general riders can really feel the improvement in urban road? The main selling points of iridium spark plug is lower voltage consumption and more durable than platinum plug (around 30k miles), where all sellers claimed that this plug can use in more worser combustion environment such as turbo/supercharge machine. From my personal point of view, unless you are enrolled in endurance race, using correct specification ordinary spark plug with periodical service is more than enough.
22/May/01	Dear Sir, Majesty 250"s tyre pressure My Majesty 250'sGuide book give me following tyre pressure. - Single Rider: front is 175KPa(1.75kg/cm^2), rear is 200Kpa(2kg/cm^2).- Two Rider: front is 200KPa(2kg/cm^2), rear is 225Kpa(2.25kg/cm^2).Would you pls. clarify 3 questions for me. Thanks a lot! 1. What is my tyre pressure in term of lbs? 2. Would you pls. clarify that above pressure data is including `rider(s) body weight' or not? 3. I am riding in single but having a guest in sometimes. As per theory, I need to increase tyre pressure when having a guest. Actually, I will not to do it. So, my question is how to use above data from my guide book? P.S.: 1. My body weigth is 155 lbs. 2. Sorry about that my question may be too theoryical. 3. I will looking forward for your prompt advice! Thanks again. Best Regards,Fung nfung2@hotmail.com 1 kg/cm^2 = 14.22 lb/in^2, so : Front Rear Single ride 25 psi 28.5 psi With passenger 28.5 psi 32 psi The above figure is assuming the rider & passenger are in average weight. If you are not going to adjust the tire pressure by each occasion, please keep in 28/32 psi tire pressure, then try to release a little bit pressure each time to find out what tire pressure suit you best.
22/May/01 　　　　 23/May/01	主編：你好！本人乃新牌仔，現正考慮購買一台電單車。從雜誌上看中了SUZUKI的GSX750。能否請主編先生提供意見，与上述型號價錢和裝備相近的還有哪些牌子的什麼型號可供選擇？以上煩請指教！順祝貴網站業務蒸蒸日上！Frankie frankietalks@hotmail.com 新牌想買GSX750恐怕出保險會有問題呢？如果說SV650抵買，那GSX750更抵買。750直四油冷，可靠又易用。採用的技術比CB750或西風750先進。留意錶板很精緻，又有燃油計，大架，座下可藏車套雜物，當年試過車，感覺好正。六萬蚊有找買部全新750直四街車，呢個價錢係鈴木先有本事定到。俾我揀，最抵玩係佢。鈴木科研大偈部某要員座駕都係佢。 Thanks so much for your speedy reply. it is the first time i would have a reply from the website so soon. i can imagine how successful your website is by experiencing such good customer services. I do hope you and your team keep on doing these good jobs and make your website the most wonderful site when promoting motorcycling in HK. You mentioned it'd be difficult for a new driving licensee to register the GSX750. would it be more positive if, say i am over 30 already...? since i did read some comment in your website and found that age would be one of the consideration for those insurance providers? is it correct? Or what would be the most probable choice a new driving licensee like me can pick, as far as this problem is concerned? Thanks again for your kind reply and look forward to hearing from u soon. Frankie frankietalks@hotmail.com Just checked with insurance agents, they said nowaday "1 year driving license + 23 Years old" is the starting point to get a t/p insurance policy, the displacement of the bike is not the major consideration . So....
20/May/01	你好: 貴網站為我增進不少老電知識,在此說聲多謝!!! 我正考強制試,在網上看到有人話強制試及格的話,就可以出一部學車,真的嗎?如果得有咩要留意的地方?例如保險/牌費等等... 我看中了笑燈ZXR400R我在街上很少見到人駕使,係咪架車性能/彎向唔好?一公里大約幾多錢?這車有咩優點缺點?同要留意的地方?我一定會買笑燈ZXR400R的,差的是什麼時候!!! PS: 祝成為網上老電無敵網心急人yamazakitsoi yamazakitsoi@sinaman.com 現在連P牌出保險也很困難，何況學保？唔駛唸。ZXR400是一臺「結實」的跑車，操控時騎士的Input較CBR400RR/RVF400RR為多。但穩定性良好，十分適合高速疾衝。較高和前的重心，高大的車身呎碼令新手有壓力。其彎性雖未及RVF400，但仍然十分足夠。油缸頂兩條Ram-Air喉管略為「阻定」，但亦是其神髓所在。160/60尾胎亦較同級粗壯。留意日本版馬力只是53ps，但如是當年怡豐進口的出口版，馬力有65ps！遠勝其他同級對手。將來真係買o左車，要整的話，介紹你去筲箕灣文偉。因為當年怡豐的維修部要員現在文偉「駐診」，D舊款Kawa車佢跟開跟慣，同埋佢自己都係騎ZRX400呢款車，咁就有把握得多啦！
19/May/01	本人現在正在學車, 打算考到牌後買RVF 400.RVF 400 是否已經是一款比較容易駕駛, 比較適合新牌的fairing車?另外最近聽聞保險公司不接受新牌仔投保, 不知可有其事?如果是真的, 增加保費是否可以解決以上問題呢? (會貴多少?)或有沒有其它解決辦法呢? 偉 oxbow@netvigator.com RVF400不是新牌首選。因為新牌速度不能超過70km/h，V4的熱度不能盡情散去，會好辛苦。如果你一定要騎跑車，Honda CBR250RR或Kawasaki ZZ-R250比較合適。P牌如未夠23歲想出保險真係幾惡搞，加上你又想出跑車......有錢都搞唔掂。
18/May/01	主持你好, 首先稱贊IBIKE內容充實，有立場，有誠意。下面是我少許建議.IBIKE的電單車報導內容好但圖象SIZE太小，我希望在電單車報導內加一幅SIZE不小于1024X768的IMAGE顯示該電單車“4平8穩”的FRONT VIEW， RIGHT VIEW， LEFT VIEW， REAR VIEW最好有埋TOP VIEW，讓讀者能夠看清楚D部車。HK的電單車雜志都無希望貴刊考慮考慮。槍神DAVID黃曾經擁有HONDA SL230 <swift-wolf@i-cable.com> 十分多謝閣下提供的寶貴意見。我們已盡量把相片做到最大。但基於下載時間及網頁空間的考量，如採用閣下建議，相信會吃不消呢！其實只要番查以往鐵騎網誌的報導，便會發現刊登的相片已經越來越大張，偶爾用56k觀看，已經等得十分不耐煩。我們唯有把相片的風景剪去，盡量放大電單車吧！祝好！
18/May/01	Dear Sir, I just got the licence & want to buy a new bike. I have 2 choices ( CB400 Vtec & Suzuki GS500 ) Which one is better ? Can you give me some suggestions. Besides, I have watched the Japanese drama called beautiful life. Can you check & tell me what is the model of that blue color bike. Best regards. Billy tatmei@hongkong.com Well, Suzuki GS500 is more practical and cheaper to run than CB400 Vtec.If you don't care about your bike's appearance, and just want to do the transportation job, then you should try GS500. For those who are conentrating on their social life, and trying to use the bike to representing thier personal image,then CB400SF VTEC is the choice. By the way, BL's bike is Yamaha TW200. Air-cooled single cylinder, quite a fun bike for green rider.
17/May/01	網主你好～有Ｄ野想請教下你架～～我上幾個月考到個電單車牌～～而又買佐架CBR400RR～ (1)我想問下CBR200RR同400RR有乜分別～ 250/400有乜分別呢？排氣量大自然馬力及扭力都增加，引擎所需轉數亦會低D。但400又會較250大架D同埋重o左。 (2)我就想問下我係新牌仔～我又唔想掛個死人P字牌～講真渣架咁型既車掛個咁既牌影衰晒～～除佐唔掛牌罰＄之外仲有冇其它架～同埋Ｄ人點知我係咪新牌仔?點捉我?咁等等情況～可以講吓我知Ｄ情況嘛～唔好唸唔掛P牌，雖然普通街街冇人會知，但遇 road block或不幸發生交通事故，就會俾人揭發無掛P牌。衰多兩錢。(今時今日，CBR400RR已變得冇你想像中咁型) (3)仲有係咁既，我以前經常返內地玩既～所以成日問內地Ｄ朋友借電單車渣既，所以導致我返香港考電單牌～近來突然想渣架愛車返大陸～究竟手續係點架～點先可以令我架CBR400RR渣上大陸丫?我而家攪緊內地既電單車牌架啦～希望網主能代在下解答～點搞大陸車牌真係唔清楚，可以問下各車會幹事，例如SRA，佢地有搞大陸巡航的經驗。但都係臨時牌居多。萬個唔該～ gzerof@hongkong.com
16/May/01	編輯先生：本人是貴雜誌的讀者，經常上網瀏覽貴刊網頁。曾經看到貴刊介紹過東京的電單車城，但最近該份報導已經在貴刊上找不到了，是否已經被刪除了，可否重新再刊載？本人渴望重温該報導的珍貴內容。謝謝。 Josef Chan josefchan@yahoo.com 有關上野電單車街的報導，請往「車行情報」尋找。共有兩次報導。
