thanks guys , but this quickly start with push start? why it is easy. if the all carb issue, plug issue.......etc it should not start with push start too(I guess) ? any idea?

Thanks Rumesh This is 115 chassis and no electrical vacuum . do you know any one do this all above sync and all in Colombo area?

yes. seems ok. I have cleaned them first place with abro carb cleaner. did not dismantle whole cab as the plugs colour is light grey. no black smoke, and water on the exhaust in the morning.

Thanks Don this dose not have any fuel pump. this is Honda hornet 250 and 4 carbs

Dear Friends My hornet 250 is 98. it starts morning without any issue. with 1,2 sec it start. after riding it for a hour and stop the engine, it dose not start quickly like morning. I have cleaned the carburetor change the air filter (not genuine) , change the Engine oil. How ever the battery is not very good. plugs are looks very old but no any miss fire and light grey tip. I'm trying to figure out the issue of this? please advice sira

Dear Friends What is the average fuel consumption of Honda hornet 250 CC 98 model (115 chassis). I brought one 3 weeks ago and looks it does around 15 Km/L. spark plugs looks very old but they were white tip and air cleaner too looks old and never changed. lots of dust . I have cleaned them any way. will there be an better consumption if I changed them thanks

Thank you Where can i fond mig welding place in colombo area

Dear All I got 98 Honda hornet bike and the steering stopper needs to be re- welded. this stopper is a metal piece and most of the time handle Colum will hit this place and stop. currently this part needs to be filled by metal. I have heard that motor cars they remove battery terminal before weld. I could do that . but bit a nervous that this arc welding could damage other electronics, such as CDI , rectifier..etc please let me have your views on this sira

Under "common issue with EK3" topic one member called evergreen has posted some thing about the rear suspension issue due to duplicate training arm. just want to know more about it

29-30

thanks Don Yes tyres are same brand. replaced 4 of them at once. the oem shock was Showa. but the part numbers are compatible with oem and tokiko. 3736 front 2937 rear

Thanks Don I also noticed when I drive over the cat Eye (metal square) I feel so hard on rear wheels, I can feel that front wheels are absorbing and rear wheel are not. they bump hard with sound. is there any posibilty to spring become hard due to age...etc? or may be tokiko is not compatible with spring. any EK3 owner noticed this issue so far?

Thanks Don do you think the tokiko's are not good? i feel so. After i noticed this issue i dismantle the shock absorber and inspect the strut unit. they looks ok and in 3-5 sec the rod will raise. Before the tokiko i had used kyb for a few weeks time from y friend as a used shocks. They will come up in 7-8 sec. what i believe (pls correct me if this wrong) the when the spring is pressed , it should be released slowly with pressure of the strut unit. if the strut is quick then it feels the so hard.

Dear friends I noticed that my EK3 rear suspension is not very much comfortable. Because when i had FB13 and it was very comfortable with rear and front. i was using this EK3 since 2011 and changed all the struts units 4,5 months back with brand called "tokiko" and i notice the front suspensions are really good. But rear is not that good. I believe this EK3 made with some sport type of design. The shock absorbers are looks sport type with small inner diameter of coil springs…etc so cannot have more comfortable with this. Do you think this is nature of this car? Some time back when I take a bend with on a irregular road (few small bumps on the bend) and noticed that rear side is dragging . so I think the shocks are not very good. But they were new and should not having any issue. sira

Yes, my next step to check break disks. will this happens with drums too? where will be best place to lathe them. I know most of lathe machines are not accurate. it could go worst

Don I believe the vibration will transfer to hub . while hub is vibrating the wheel will too.

no machan. my one does not have ABS. this EXI was imported in 1998 brand new. i was worrying that even 96 models got ABS for JDMs , this is JHM which is no ABS and Air bag yesterday i lift the car ,removed the wheel and ran with 120 kmph then noticed that drive shaft is vibrating at that speed. do you think this drive shaft should not vibrate?

Hi All Can you tell me who are best motor bike repair guy in Colombo area - I need to clean and sync 4 carbs of hornet motor bike sira

They are doing manual Adjustment. but seems doing it professionally. I had camber issue and they fixed by pulling out the hub with a special tool attached. I think they are very good. now looks car is steady , but when I appy break at 120 I still feel the paddle looks pulsing . not sure how to isolate front or rear break - front disk , rear drum . dose drum cause to disk ?

Hi Don No i did not change them .

I did replace the right side rack end and tie rods as i found small shake on wheel. Then did a wheel alignment. Did not speed up 120 yet. Will update you all

Hi Don I got doubel wishbone suspension system . not macpherson . I have not removed the upper to change the shock absorbers.Think the upper arm settings will remain as it is hopefully . so i belive camber will remain as it is . please me see your views. sira

Hi Irage Yes i felt that. when i press the break i felt that breake paddel vibration similar to the vibration. you are correct,. how to fix this than

Tyres are brigstone All lower arm and upper are bushes are replaced . probbly RBi brand wherer would be the best place to do a alignment. did not do after replac the shocks. do i ? since this double wish bone type suspension, shock dose not changes the aligment

Hi Y'day i noticed my EK3 vibrate at 120Km . it is ok with 100 kmph but above 120 and 140 it worst. Tyres were new and not even reach 5000Km. new shocks - Tokiko. when i replace the tyres, I did the wheel balace and alignment any idea
