LOL... dont pray pray with uncles on bikes!

 

Ya, I must agree that manufacturers of modern day bikes have dialed out most of the chassis issues. I also ride with one hand when feel like relaxing a bit without backing off...

hi guys, i'm riding a spec 3. my front brakes keep giving off rubbing sound sometime ago and when i lift up the front wheels somehow they do not rotate freely when i spin them and gives off a soft rubbing sound. recently when braking while riding, i start to experience intermittent braking(something like weak braking, strong braking, weak braking, ...) even though i'm holding my brakes at the same level. i'm suspecting that my brake disc is deformed. anyone able to tell me what i can do?

Thanks for the input guys.

 

Another question.. Anyone tried Spiegler Steel Braided Brake Hose. I've tried Venhill but any takes on which would be better? In terms of better reliability and etc...

Time to get your braking system serviced by a good mech. Could also be pistons jammed due to too much dirt or faulty master cylinder.

Easiest way to know for sure if discs are warped is to dismantle it and lay it on a flat surface. Well, may be not easiest...

Typo: "discs" are warped...

Im riding a Spec 2, everything was fine when i rode on the expressway home. But when i got home, trying to park the bike, every time i clutch into gear 1 or 2 the bike stalls. Almost like i didnt clutch in.

Starting up the bike is ok if i get it back into neutral, but when i try to engage the gear again the engine dies and stalls.

 

I didnt notice it previously but the engine oil sign comes on when i turn on the bike, but goes away after i start.

 

 

Any ideas? Thanks

If the side stand is down..in gear 1 or 2..the engine will stall..it's a safety feature..so nothing is wrong.

 

Ur oil light "ON" is LED indicator self check..when engine starts..should go off. So ur case is normal..if it's the other way round..ur eo level is low.

are you at the "TRIP 1" or "TRIP 2" menu when u try to reset it?

[crazygig89]

Trip 2 menu bro.

[justforme]

Trip 2 menu bro.

 

are you able to switch to other menu? if you can it's probably something wrong with your circuit board. i would advise you to save your money instead of changing the circuit board as it doesn't affect your riding.

Hi all,

 

Need some advise here. There is some oil leaking around the coolant pump area. I can't seem to locate the source of the leak. It not the drain plug as I have touch it and there is no sign of oil around the area. I park my bike side stand so i suspect that the oil may have leak from somewhere and drip around the coolant area. Any idea where the leak may have originate? Thank you.

Its best to bring it to your mech asap.. When there is leaking there is problem..

Can just tap from the battery terminals with a multivolter and look for reading yhat varies from at least 13.5 to 14.2v dc from 2k - 5k rpm (increase slowly) provided ur magneto coil is ok.
