aiya actually for x9... dun expect much speed... coz this bike is more for those relax biker like me... haha~ somemore the whole bike so heavy... imagine when u speeding 120++ @ expressway... i believe got some road user likes to speed... n imagine bigger bike or car cut across u~ u will feel a strong wind blowing 2wards u... n some ppl will tempt to wobble... i guess everyone here has this experience b4... n dun forget... our wheels are smaller compare 2 other bike... even some kup wheel oso bigger den us... when i started riding x9 i already start wobbling liao... n somemore later might even wear out some of the parts if u put too much pressure on it... for eg the air coolant.. later suddenly overhearted den siao liao... better play safe or be sorry. that's my advice... if u really wan speed... get a sports bike... for those safe rider... keep up the good work!

yah i oso tend to wobble when moving off or stoping.. especially wif pillion.. everytime haf to put both legs down to balance.. Is it the same for all x9 rider? I tink becos lack of oil tank to grip wif legs rite? correct me if i'm wrong..

shouldn't be that jat lat.. think u need go check ur stering cone and mounting... if it's the front that wobble, it might be stering cone or bearing.. back might be mounting or bearing.. i yesterday went future motoring check price for changing mounting and stering cone is 230 =)

Fastest i tried was 120km/h.. really v windy, i can feel an 'invisible hand' trying to push my handlebar for me, quite scary. Also, when climb those narrow spiral up , in those carpark like china town there.. i duno why, but i dun really dare to corner too low, the feeling is v different from normal bikes. Last time with TZR is ok, maybe i haven't master the scooter techniques yet ...

me need to do that too...both legs always have to be on ground when come to stopping...agreed with you that it might be due to no oil tank to grip.

For stock rear suspensions, me too dare not corner too low..no confidence for the suspension..some more now my bike is full of noises,sweezing sound coming out not sure from where but confirmed from suspensions just need to know is it from the front or rear..

It's at half for me.. Unless the bike nv move at all if not it'll remain at half no matter sunny or rainy days..

[rayhunter]

Hope others forumers that have read this can pardon us for going slow inbetween cars when there is a jam...due to the side mirrors(evo model) and stablity,we need to go slow....

 

Always experienced other bikers if got chance or trying very hard and their best to zoom pass me and most of the time need to ram the trottle(maybe to show out frustration) in jam situation as they felt i am blocking their way.(maybe indeed)

mounting is at the back wheel.. go and try shaking ur rear wheel, if it's shaking that means something wrong with ur rear bearings or mounting... ur front still wobbling? maybe it's the bearings too.. go and have a check... bearings is cheap but mounting hehe.. at least a 100 i think =)

Yup agreed.. Sometimes i'll juz move to a side and let other bikers go pass me first..

I saw at Cash convertor , those little car speakers selling at $7 a pair.

 

I was thinking, if it is possible to DIY a simple audio system connected to my lousy china mp3 player. My idea is, just tap off the battery to the speaker, then connect wire from mp3 to speaker? I tink, i must be thinking too simple. Am I missing something??

[BabyVTEC]

most likely cannot powered up car speakers using mp3, required another amplifier.

I think Mp3 player only enough to power up your earphone or small size speakers.

or maybe your mp3 powerful enough...

[Simmz]

i dun tink it's possible for u 2 mount tt speaker over to ur ride... coz the size ah~ wad u can do is drill hole @ ur box. den the speaker point towards the hole... den from ur box like dat play...

but u muz get something 2 stable it... or else u cornering u can't hear anything liao~ or u can oso carry a back pack den slot @ the bottle compartment or some back packs with speaker oso can. but u wan better quality go mount 1 lo~ n oso mounting will b quite costly... depend on the workmanship... u can try gg down JB n hunt for some speaker or wad~ if lucky can even find 2nd hand good condition 1. hope this help u.
