jialat im having a bumpy ride with my planet been to 1st motor n excel suspect to be rear suspension problem anyone encountered b4 ? both said they unable to fix unless to replace it. bad...

[pranzer]

did you ask them if they had any rear shox in stock?

[studu]

nopee both dun have, im wondering does the suspension compress alot when u sit on it normally mines a little bouncy n soft, and does a mito one fit on planet

[Kuyo]

from what my fren tell me and my mech tells me , a mito suspension is compatible with a planets =] most of the parts we used are similiar .

[pranzer]

like koyote says.. planets are very similar to mito only that its naked..

Hi guys,

 

I'm thinking about getting a Planet for my first bike, any comments as to maintenance and reliability ?

 

thanks

the cagiva planet is a beautiful bike, looks like a real naked bike. Its performance is really good as well. i know everyone comes around screaming of how fast their bike is, but in all honesty ive tried and ive hit 160+- on the speedo yet i do not know how accurate my speedo so, ive not pushed it to the limit as i just replaced piston and am scared of spoiling it.ive hit 120 on 3rd gear on the bike as well. Its handling is fantastic and has tyres as fat as a S4, monoshock, and upside-down forks where an S4 uses normay way forks. You can search the reviews as well, and those reviews made me crave for it even before i had my license. So i searched around till i got it.

 

Reliability wise as long as u got a good condition one, it runs well. do your regular servicing and 2t oil (only fully synthetic). Ive read that its best to use minimum 95ron so i use that as minimum to be on a safe side. Its a really powerful bike even from low end, though u have to make sure it runs properly.

 

When i just got my bike, it was weaker and only got stuck at 120km/hr not matter how i pushed. When i sent for servicing at HL cycle i was told that my valves were clogged and exhaust was clogged over the past 6years usage. So i got it all cleared out and decarbonize and my piston was weak so i had it changed. From then on the real fun started. Very strong 125cc due to their electronic valve system.

 

Maintenance wise its is much more expensive, a piston costs around 400brand new. Engine gaskets cost around 80. But other things can get general parts, i use generic wheel ballbearing for 23dollars. The minor problems are still not expensive only the big problems. those are painful. But if the previous owner took care of it well, after paying a good amount for any problems that might still be around. The bike gives u an awesome ride, with real handling, top end rush, and it is one that keeps me awake when im riding controlling the throttle,(compared to my dads wave). Plus people always take a second glance if not ask me about the bike just my 2cents worth.
