ani 1 know wad problem will cause by a (not so round rim) . cos the rim seem like its being press back aft accident.

 

i wonder is this the problem to my shaky handle bar (upon braking)

If your rim is warped, it will not only cause the handle bar to vibrate during braking, the front will also vibrate during ride. Other factor can cause the front to be unstable.

 

Do the following check to confirm.

 

First check and make sure your front tire has the correct air pressure, 29psi. Then jack up the front, use a reference and place it close to the rim, spin it and check the gap between rim and reference, if the gap is not constant, rim is warped. Do the same wise for the tire to check if its deform. When you spin the wheel take note if its turning smoothly and not binding, if its not smooth could be your wheel bearing worn out (make sure your brake are not binding the disc when doing the test) Next grap the fork and thrust it in and out, there should not be any movement, if not your steering lock nut may be loose or the bearing worn. Finally turn the handle bar left and right, make sure its smooth and there is no adnormal noise or binding to check the steering cone bearing.

 

After you done all the check, lower the bike and remove the jack. Put a small cable tie on each fork tube (chrome part) close to the dust cover. Hold the brake and pump it. Then check and compare the cable tie distance between each fork to see if the cable tie has move the same distance. If not your fork may be binding.

 

And you have mentioned your bike has accident before, the frame might be bent hence causing the bike to be unstable. This will be a difficult to check though.

 

If you looking for a used rim to replace can look for this guy nick Sky at garage sale. He has alot of spares from his scrap G4.

shaky handlebar upon braking could be due to warped front brake discs as well...

 

if its warped, it will cost ard $560 for jus the part alone to replace, not including installation charges.

How to detect if the rectifier is gonna give way?

 

When I just got my bike, the low-beam will only switch on one headlight. High-beam will switch on both.

 

Within three weeks of changing the bulb, the bulb which lights up upon low beam kinda blown. Then I was using high-beam all the way till yesterday, one of the high beam bulbs blew as well.

 

Is this a case of a gone rectifier?

 

Anyone please?

 

Many thanks.

Wah... sound like a ripoff to me.

1stly, never dealt with the motorshop b4 so cannot comment on the reliability of the shop.

2ndly, 2 weeks for the warranty is abit short. Mine had at least a month of warranty.

3rdly, the insurance for the bike sounds a tad too high.. how old are you?

 

Unless you are sure that you can get an agreement in black n white from the shop stating the items that are under the warranty and those that are covered. But still may be a losing situation when problems crop up. So beware.

[TnT]

Must be beri be careful when you buy this bike from bikeshop. a lot of hidden cost.

Use multimeter to determine.

 

Not really the rectifier problem, most likely your headlight wiring screwed somewhere. Sent to Jimmy at Mayo St he will diagnose and fix for you. His shop is opp the mosque.

6 years ago, shop at Sim Drive quote me FM plate G4 for $3.9K machine price only.

 

The power one is at katong, $5.8K machine price for a FL plate G4, black smoke purring out somemore when rev throttle.

 

Price of G4 from bike shop never seems to drop.
