Hi.. wanna ask those runner gurus out there...

 

Someone told me that gear oil on vxr need to change periodicaly... He told me that no need to flush, just top up...

 

Is it true?

Gear oil need to change, not top up! its not expensive to change.

i find that my handlebar is vibrating quite a bit...especially when riding handsfree...would any1 know the possible reasons for this?

U mean ur bike tends to veer to one side?

Cs if u r going freehand, u cant feel the vibration..

Anyway, if its simply veering to one side, try to correct the alignment by kicking it straight. Still, if u r still veering to one side or its kinda loose, (easy to adjust back)

Bring it to a bike shop to check the condition and tighten ur steering cone.

[Reese]

eh paiseh... jux rem it was ur small jacky who said that to me... not u

[Reese]

i see that u r another free hand rider... hahaha

i've experienced that many times... resorted to changing new steering cone & even my tires. heard so that uneven wear on ur tires could cause it too

nonetheless, i find it too expensive to be a free hand rider so nowadays my hands stay on the handlebar

:lol:

temp meter shld be ard the halfway point...if it always hit beyond the halfway point then check the following in random order which might help u find the problem..

 

1) sufficient coolant.

2) working condition of ur water pump

3) carb settings...enuff petrol or not

4) 2T intake if it is sufficient

5) tyre pressure..too low tyre pressure engine work harder so heat up faster

6) condition of ur engine block and pistion

7) radiator working condition

8) thermostat condition

 

u might like to try flushing out the old coolant and replace wif new and a change of the thermostat n c if it works for a start.
