What kind of difficulty in turning? Like very wobbly? Lots of vibration that you need to really grab the handlebar?

 

errr .. maybe when u ride on the road .. then if i want to turn left .. the handlebar like super tight .. it will stay at center ... i need to turn harder lor ...

The LCD plastic fog up le. You can try to use some plastic polish to improve it. But can`t remove it.

You should bring down to a workshop to have it checked, might save your life. Like really save your life.

Foggy probably from the plastic part only. The buttons and the values run normally, it should be alright.

 

My buttons aren't even working, but I don't really bother. Lol!

Hi,

 

Anyone know where to duplicate the keys for X9?

 

Thanks.

 

Anyway, you can just buy the official blank key from the Piaggio HQ at Genting Lane, then go to any key duplicate shop and duplicate the key. Then after duplicating, just programme the key using your master key and you're set to go.

Check your tyre pressure. Might be too low le. Normally i pump about 32 solo, 34 with pillion

 

The sound mean clutch slip. Servicing of clutch will solve the problem. Still can ride.

Hey guys!

 

Am riding an X8 and I need some advice on the following 2 problems:

 

1)Got a problem with my rear shocks. Apparently quite boppy and am feeling the road quite a bit. Went to AS Phoon and they say its the Swing Arm that needs to be replaced for about $90+. The mechanic advised not to ride too fast but I'm concerned as to whether it is safe to carry on riding or not.

Was thinking if I should go to other shops like the ones mentioned in Kallang which specialise in scooters.

 

2)Also, went throttling at low speeds, like during heavy traffic for e.g... The bike seems to be vibrating quite strongly before reaching a "biting point" of sorts, once I pick up on speed then the strong vibration goes away. Is this normal or something to do with my belt?

 

Thanks for any info/advice!

 

Cheers,

Desmond

[deschankz]

your 2nd problem is due to the 3 rubber stops in the clutch broken. If 1 is broken, the clutch arm will not open properly.

 

Hi horizoner.

 

Thanks for the info! But does that mean I will have to replace the 3 rubber stops or a certain other part to rectify this problem? More info will be appreciated as I'm kinda new on all this.

 

Cheers,

Desmond

Your second problem sound to me like clutch slip. Ask the clutch in X8 have 3 arm/plate. as long as 1 of the arm is fully open, you will exp vibration. But as you go a higher RPM, the arm have fully open. Therefore no strong vibration.

 

Just my RM0.2c knowledge.

Hi Hi, bought a X9 and today got the bike ....

 

My personal feeling the bike is heavy and having a difficulty when turning .. is that normal?

 

Bought a 7 Years old X9 .. Outlook ok ...

 

from wat you say, i believe is the cone bearing wear out le

just replace the 3 rubbers. I remember they come as a set of 3 and they r not cheap.

 

I see! Well, my bike is all stock and nothing much has been changed in the past 4 years.

 

Time to do some upkeep... Guess soon I gotta replace my belt, swing arm as well as the 3 rubber stoppers. Haha!
