the terminology is tank slapping. for big bikes at high speed the whole front wobbles right to left at a very very fast speed. if u don't control. just wait for you to lose control and crash

Thrash? Don't mind if i do.

That's what I was told. To just relax and it will "even" out. :cool:

Tankslapping usually happens when u're going out of a corner at high speeds. Bikes tend to go straight and sometimes when u're going out of a corner, u're forcing it to go where it doesn't want to, which is not straight. The bike tends to straighten out and when it does, you couter-react. That's when a tankslap happens. Yes the correct way is to just relax it out and let the bike straigten out by itself. The more you control the worse it'll become.

Cannot blink or doesn't even light up? If its the former check your condenser (forgot what its actually called)? If its the latter just check your bulbs. :cool:

 

This is not a walmart bicycle where you can just purchase a front brake for cheap. Which part of the front brake do you need to purchase? What is the problem with your current front brake? :sweat:

My guess is it's just your wiring as the same thing happened to my bike and my mech just fiddle with the wires and it was okay already. You mean brake pads right ?

If ur front signal lights are blown, just replace them. Coz if the front not working or not connected the back doesn't blink. If not just change the signal condenser. Open up the top fairing, the one wif the headlight. It's this box thing in front of the meter. It has 2 connections.

 

If u need a brake set, i have one set, complete with brake pump and hose. Cheap cheap give u.

I've changed to a Thailand's Dunlop pair of tyres, i know the Japan ones are the real thing, but boh pian this month really very tight..But are they reliable? I dont expect it to give me top class performance when i paid for a cheap price.. Cause yesterday just accident due to my worn out tyres. Today immediately changed new tyres.
