Hi peeps

 

My bike is experiencing some screeching sound while braking.

 

It happens when i depress my rear brake.

 

Hmmm, do you think the workshop can do anything about it? Do you think its normal?

1. checking of steering cone > ( try to turn the handle bar left - right, feel whelter smooth or not especically when it turn to the centre, where by alightment Staight - it can't be to tight too) Best way is park on mainstand, hold the front tyres, pull towards and away from you, see whelter lossen or not.

 

2. Engine mounting > (park the scooter on main stand, hold on to the rear tyre, shake left and right, if it is to loosen, engine mounting gone.

 

3. Coolant pump > on the below right centre (just on top the exhaust header), check out is there any leaking mark, if yes this may cause wear our on Magnet and Magneto coil.

 

4. brake pads > i believe you should be able to check

 

5. Tyres > you should be able too

 

6. LCD Panel > On the key, check everythings is it normal.

what type of suspension you change? try to adjust if it's adjustable.

[rayhunter]

Hallo to vtec_craze

 

Welcome to the X9 family....

[jasonyeo123]

changed to mikuku =) anyway the bumpy thing any other possible reasons ?

[markkfu]

try spinning your wheels if its not smooth it could either be you brakepad out of alignment, brakedisk warp, or your bearing spoilt. if not then your suspension is too tight. or maybe the suspension not seasoned? ask pillion to sid and bounce on the back...hahaha. dont know how else to do it. isit the front fork suspension or the rear suspension giving you problems? if its the front, usually its like that, bo pian. unless you want to change to aftermarket ones.
