i had an accident while cornereing a few wks ago too.. the question is that now my bike like very sensitive to bumps n cracks on the roads unlike before.. like she scared of the road after she fell down.. but when we accident, i didnt let go off her, therefore absorbing most of the injuries, bike injury only scratched balancer n mirror n abit on the transmission cover.. wat wld the problem b? anyone knows?

 

Mite be ur fork is slightly bent? Dat time i "buang", the mechanic knocked back the fork and replaced the steering cone.

[mohgui]

by any chance ur runner is in green? and has a ciggy lighter? hehehe!

 

LOLz... green mean machine with the number 13 on it. i think it's the only Runner with a ciggy lighter

[spy622]

thanks guys for all those advices...

i juz skidded and had an accident yesterday night...

tried to corner a sharp bend near nanhua sec and hit the stones near the side..

my handlebar wobble badly and i lose control of the bike...

now i have lots of bruises and my bike really jia lat... haiz...

later going to kallang to see my bike... haiz...

 

sad to hear dat...if u had know dat ur bike isnt handling properly u shld hav check it 1st...from the way u describe on how the bike handles, I tink u had a terriblely worn out engine mounting dat causes ur rear engine case n back wheel to b shaking freely

Im using Maxima coolant on my 2stroke...It works well but as I had mention before if your bike is not running dat hot, actually normal coolant will be fine n cheaper also.

 

for Maxima EO, I didnt had the chance to try but feedbacks from some 4stroke riders it was gd n some actually swear by it

knocking back the fork dun seem like a gd idea to me if any of the parts r bended.

lol... mayb he meant my alignment not straight.. but dat one i realingned it.. im not sure y now like my bike very sensitive.. mayb its just me.... after my first buang..

Same here. After I skidded for the first time, my bike becomes sensitive to even the slightest change on the road surface, especially if riding on painted markings on the road. If I go around 60km/h, I can feel as if the bike lose traction, and handlebar will tend to turn a bit. Scary, though.

[Acer1337]

Anyway, does tyres of different makes for the front and rear pose any danger?

different tyres = different compound = different grip.

Try not to mix.

sorry to heard u guys fall.u guys still alright now?i mean bike dmg np,but as long as u are fine tat enough.

 

anyway if u fall,pls go and check your steering cone,mounting as what spy mention.due to fall these 2 stuff will ran off.tire also.cause due to the fall,tire might be having some problem.

[Acer1337]

How to check the condition of the engine mounting? What are the signs of poor engine mounting?

[FinG]

when u turn,u feel shakin at the rear of your bike,this is a sigh of it.

[Acer1337]

Oh I see. I felt that sometimes, especially during raining period. Any way to rectify this?

[bongstar88]

is urs the 06 onwards or the 05? cos 06 runners standard tyres tend not to grip on wet surface.. and mine did develop 'bumps' and cause my ride to be very uncomfortable at times.. changed a new set of gold standard.. solved the prob.

[Acer1337]

Mine is the old VXR 200 '05. I heard the old model is less stable than the new ones, provided both are stock. Is that true?

n the most important is the difference in profile n design

not really I think..same same for both aft comparing the pros n cons

But the 05 n older model u can get gd tyres n more parts to choose from

Bike feels lighter after taking off the big heavy standard exhaust and alot better ballanced.
