Bike not feeling well.

 

After belt change, roller change (using SW green rollers), spark plugs change (IUH24), air filter change (stock) and EO change (Maxima 10W40) and tuning... plus tire balanced.

 

Bike still felt vibration when accelerating.

 

Grrr...

1. Tires? 11k liao. Rear already uneven wear.

2. Rollers? Green ones too heavy for SW-T, operating at 0.4k less rpm @ 90km/h? Standard used to be 5k rpm for 90km/h but now only need 4.6k rpm. Almost 3g difference...

3. Uneven wear in the variator groove? Rollers not moving in/out in syn?

4. Fork oil getting too old/thick? Causing minor road unevenness to be felt?

5. Rear suspension too soft at 4 (because me fat) thus tilting the bike profile?

 

So many things to check.

Probably need to wait for new rollers (red color) to come then change everything together.

 

#2 out. I was using the blue (35gr) roller meant for fjs600. no increase in vibration. rpm/speed reading same as yours.

btw swt400 should be brown (25gr).

swt600 using red (39gr).

 

wheel bearings maybe?

Europe and States also quoted Diablo Scooter as one of the best tyres to use. Another would be the Feelfree Wintec which is used during their cold and wet season which is not available here.

I see, btw what is the cause of the rear tyre to worn out unevenly? Is it due to my rear susp?

Edited March 29, 2012 by confusehaha

[whyzee]

Tires not balanced properly, didn't check tire air pressure, bad rear suspension settings and bad road conditions will cause uneven wear.

I see, btw yc, u know any shops that does balancing of wheel as well as they bring in metzeler tyre for silverwing? Tot of trying metzeler..

[Fazli]

I swore to Pirelli Diablos... Been using them since my CB400 days. Maybe you can try call Unique for a start and see if they carry in Metzeler Feelfree...

Fazil, yea I agree with u. Yet to slip with this tyres. But unforunately my rear tyre is worn unevenly, not the usual uneven worn which oneside is worn more then the other side. For mine I believe is quite a uncommon worn which is more to like a scalloped worn. I suspect the previous owner didn't pictorically maintain the pressure as well as not sending it for balancing hence it turns out to be this shape

But which shops bring in pirelli and does balancing as well? Can I just replace the rear tyre instead of getting a set?

[confusehaha]

Btw guys, do u guys recommend me to replace my uneven scallopped rear tyre before heading to thailand or shld i only replace it when i come back? will the condition of the tyre cause any hazard to my ride?

 

As i am still funding up a little to get a pair of hagon next month.

Of cos you can change only rear tyre, no need for a set... you can go Unique, they will do the balancing for FOC when you change the tyre there. I changed my Pirelli Diablos last year with a good price (they usually got promotion their tyres). They did the balancing for my rear tyre but fail to do the balancing for my front as they don't have the tools.

[whyzee]

If you want pirelli, just go to Motoworld. They have the best price for it as they are the dealer. They can do balancing too.

 

Last I heard, AC motor is going to get the tire balancing equipment. Not sure if they have it yet.

Not sure the price, but my understanding is usually a set is better price than... just give a call to Unique or Motoworld chk the price with balancing for a set and rear tyre only, no harm mah...

Remember to chk the year of manufactured on the tyres itself, don't take the old stock tyres > 1 year? Also bear in mind, Unique only can do balancing for rear, not sure now they able to do for front bo?
