Hi all, me new vara rider here..(125XL_Year:2001)

im facing a lot of wobble/ shaky feeling in low speeds in my vara. specially at low speeds. (reaching or after traffic lights this is so unsafe)

this get worst,when ride with a pillion.

 

tried on below

cone-bearing changed.

wheel bearing changed.

both tires changed.

but problem still exists :cry:

 

if anyone faced same before.any possible reason could be causing this?

ur advice would be really appreciated.

Thanx.

 

Add on: could this be due to suspension issue.? that's the only thing to suspect now...:sian:

Hi fatt86: thanks :) yeah i've already started loving my Vara now, even jst riding only for a few weeks.

yeah my mechanic said about the brake pads too..i better get it checked it seems. as i have alrdy changed tires..if it's forks issue it would be bit costly i guess.:cheeky: thnx..:thumb:

Thanks. It is stricter these days cos I think all test groups are limited to 25 per day, hence testers have more time to scrutinise each candidate... I did a review of my 5 Dec test which may be useful reference for Class 2/2A learners.

Hey vara bros! I'm interested in moving on to touring bikes since i'm like 90% on the expressways. Cruising my xr at 90km/hr causes vibration that numbs my ass. Read thru the forum and it seems vara due to its weight has no problem crusing at 90 or 100 comfortably w/o vibration. Thats great! No a speed addict so 120 km/hr max is acceptable.

 

However my question is no one seems to mention on FC and spare parts availability.

 

Read another forum and it says the FC is abt 30km/hr. Anyone can confirm this?

 

Hows the spare parts & maintainence? Is it easy to get spares or do i need to order and wait for days. How often do u change eo and spark plugs?

 

If it suits me well, may consider getting bro saddiq's bike if its still available. =)
