Leaking oil! Need help!

[vtec power]

Hi frends out there, ystdae i found out that the portion circled in the photo below is leaking oil in huge amount. I gt very worried. May i noe wat's wrong? Hw much does it cost to get it repair?

 

Is it the cone bearing is spoilt? I jz replaced the cone bearing 11 mths ago.

[Ah jian_82]

Bro cant be the cone bearing as there was no oil. Wat the colour of the oil? Think or thin? I think better give to workshop and ask. Good luck bro

[JbAtRaCeR]

Cone bearing rubber seal koyak and water gets inside mixing up with the grease on the bearing race thus causing to oozing of oil. Better to change the cone brearings bro coz water n bearings dont mix well..

The oil is pretty thick and is black in color. Actually it looks more lk grease mixed with water.

Actually, I oso guess chances might be the cone bearing and/or the cone bearing seal is damaged. Cos my bike wobble slightly when cornering. Oso when stationery, I turn my handlebar to certain angle there is tak sound . Same goes for when doing heavy braking.

Hmmmmmm.. You mean its constantly leaking ah... If you wipe it off will it still leak???? Its odd to have oil from there most prob is grease... but if its grease you should have seen it rite after you change the cone.

Hmmmmmmm..... I think you should ask one of the forumer Ah Pek... Mabbe he knw...

time to replace your steering cone.

[bernardk]

Yup it should but constant up and down kerb might make the corn spoil faster BUT definately not so fast as 11 month...

[Ah Pek]

Your cone bearing lower locking ring is loose. Get the mech to retighten and also the top big nut...size 30 I think. Yes..grease mixed with water and the small ball bearings are expose...hope no rust though. Normally cone nearing last easily 3 years or more.

[bernardk]

WOoooooooo Salute you sia ah pek hahaha... Porrrrrrfessional....

Harh!...so fast problem solve already meh? I hope so lah.

 

Actually can DIY lah. Just use a long flat head scewdrive and lodge it on the catch of the gear like locking ring and use hammer to tap it in clockwise direction till its tight but not too tight. The problem is having the size 30 ring spanner..that I have lah. Anyway..its a free job at any mototiam.

[bernardk]

Ha hope its free lor if the TS knw the motortiam mech then ok la some shop boss suckers one. 1 screw also wanna charge you. But so far i only kana one sucker at serangoon la

The reason why your wheel bearing fail within a year is because of your rubber seal (that prevents water from coming incontact with the wheel bearing) is worn. Plus the wheel bearing that your using is metal shield not rubber sealed. Was recommended by a bikeworkz mech to change my rubber seal every 6-8 months as i always travel up to KL.

Okay bro forget to modify the sentence, "Plus the wheel bearing the your using might be metal shield,not rubber sealed."

 

The rubber sealed ones peform better as they prevents contaminants for entering the bearing race. However if you are using metal sheild ones,just make sure that the outer rubber seal is in good condition.

 

Left one is metal shield and on the Right is rubber sealed.

anyone has problem with the fork tube? that is being compressed in 1?

 

went to mech because the fork leak oil. changed the dust cover and oil.

 

but mech has the tube has some scatches on it and small holes cause by those sands or stone. then even change dust cover already, it still will leak after some time because of those holes already.

 

any better solutions to solve? rather than changing the whole tube?

 

think cost around 190 for 1 piece of rod ar? then total around 400 for 2. OMG!

pek-i-pedia to the rescue!
