hi guys need ur help!!!

 

i had changed new aftermarket flower-type rear brake disc, new rear pump kit & pad, and brake switch.

 

Problem 1: brake disc become very hot after a normal ride, dunno why?

Problem 2: very weak rear braking power even at slope, the bike will row back when i only step the rear brake, dunno why?

 

can anyone help to solve my problem? everyday travel on the road, i feel very unsafe when only front brake effective..

 

thanks alot

I strongly recommend Maxima chain lube at mustafa =) as for rim haha, i use my mama's fab to clean =)

 

after i use finish m50 chain lube, i will try maxima or diy scottoiler (someone post online). is very informative! BTW how much per bottle cost?

hi guys, can i check with you guys whats your fc for ur super 4 ?

 

currently i'm riding a spec 1, after months of riding, i realise that at low gear (1,2,3) the power is not there at all until i drag to rpm 7-8. the pick up/moving off power is pretty bad. I already went to clean up my carburator months ago, at first its very smooth. but 1-2weeks later it went back to the same condition again. I have to drag alot to have power and move off.

 

After some calculation, i realise my fc is around 19km to 20km per litre.

 

1)Is this normal?

 

2)Is there any ways i can improve my fc and power?

normally new owners will always be overly worried about his bike. replace this and that, but in fact those parts can still tahan for a long time.

 

thats what happen to me, after taking over bike, replace so many things. sometimes its better if you dont think too much about any weird sounds or strange feelings, u will save lots of money this way. lol

 

now i learn to ignore small small issues.

 

and 1 tip for you, avoid asking shops to "help you check if your bike is healthy or not". once u ask this, they know u dont know much about the bike. if u go to those shops that are very good at sales and marketing, they will recommend you to change parts that are not necessary! me angry!

B ettersend back to bikeshop asap and make a fuss of the problems, explain to them clearly. If problem still arise go back again. U just bought it yesterday, any problems are unlikely to be caused by u.Dont waste your money going to other bikeshops/people cause its still under warranty.

 

cheers!
