bro, i don't think its a serious case yet. bring it to mech to change the oil seal gasket, some rubber thingy (around $12?)

That's right..a less than 0 mins job. The rubber soil seal for the gear hsift sub is gone.

[Ah Pek]

Go to a bike shop and have it solve lah.

hey guys, can a bike be start if is arm with alarm? like the bike is armed, if insert key into ignition will it able to start the bike?

 

i try then let you know

[hotrempit]

Either hweel bearings gone or chain adjustment too tight or brake caliper mounting may be loose. Excessive wear of back or front sprocket oso give this type of sound.

 

Thanks for the advise.Went to unique & when checked,

most of my rear bearings are crushed!

They quoted me for $68 changing bearings & oil seal.

No fix period lah..just check check can use okay liao. Do it only when problem comes. For rear shock..normally oil seal broken (oil leaking) or suspension to soft (ride take corner wobble)..go pump nitro for canister can liao ($40 a piece). Brake caliper just wash off brake dust occassionally can liao..jet water spray is the best.

Guys, wen i try to maintain speed i feel like my sprocket area got jerking.. But wen pick up speed dun feel it.. Is my chain loose or my front sprocket spoilt? My chain is oiled properly as im using scottoiler and d oil is still sufficient. How to determine if the slack is sufficient??
