then my consumption should be 1 of the worst around...haahaa...recko should know...

 

not to mention...the weight is 1 of the biggest factor to the wear rate of your tyres & your belt...

Hahaha... I think I still remember... :cheeky:

 

Wear rate for tyres... I would say it depends on the road condition/surface that the rider is travelling on daily. As for belt, hmm... riding style again!!! Why? If you've seen before or understand how the belt moves around in the transmission box from lower gear to higher gear, then you'll know that it is not good if you juz zoom off during green lights and thus wear & tear rate becomes higher.

 

But of course, on top of the points that I've mentioned, more importantly is to obtain the correct parts for your scoot first, for eg: belt... :smile:

I don't blame people who doesn't show courtesy, they just didn't get taught on how to do so.

Hi guys,

Just brought a 2 year old joyride. I am newbie to scooter. So I don't know what I experience is a real problem or just my imagination. Need you guys to help me out here.

The problem with my bike is when I am riding, slow ( 20 ~ 30 km/h) or fast (90 ~ 100 km/h), the bike will tend to sway left and right lightly.

 

Is this due to the build of the bike and the impact of the wind resistance? Or steering cone and suspension need to change?

 

Tire still look new and I have inflate according to the manual. Any of you guys have experience this before? What should I ask the mechanic to check?

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience! :cheeky:

congrats on your new ride and welcome to our humble cafe... :sweat:

 

As for the problem you are facing, could it be the alignment? Pros advise...

 

I would advise you to get it check. Did you get your bike at a bike shop? if yes try bringing it back and get them to check. If not you can always get recommendations from the friendly ppls here to recommend a workshop to get your ride check.

 

In the meantime ride safe

 

:goodluck:

Problems could be what you've mentioned as it's a 2 yr old bike, related wear and tear is common. :smile:

Best is to survey around from several shops, ask as many questions as you can to clear your doubts, things like type of insurance, how much interest to pay, etc... :goodluck:
