the sound is probably coming from your rear suspensions. When u pillion, the rear suspensions are carrying more weght & will be strained more. I don't think its anything to be too concerned about as its not uncommon to have squeaky rear suspensions on a Phantom.

 

I suggest that the next time u go to a motordiam (for EO change or whatever) ask the mechanic to check to see if your suspensions need changing or need to adjust the preload.

 

There's also this forumer (nick of MS) who's really good at doing suspensions. U can consider PM him to see if he's free to take a look for u also.

Well, i also got this sound, however mine came from the suspension. Used to be very loud but i added some sewing oil down it and the sound is lowered.

Better don't save this kind of $. Clutch pad spolit very dangerous one lo. Later on expressway but can't change gears then jialat. I change mine for $80 (Thailand one) at planet. U might like to change yours, Koon price is around $110 (think is japan one). Futhermore, Koon's tech told me that if clutch really spolit then the whole bike might not move then have to call for towing, in this case more ex lo.

eh... got so serious meh? haha

but it might happen la, so better change !

anyone know if LAB sell the speedometer cover for ta200??? if have how much does it cost???

[destroybot]

I got my bike at 32k km now reaching 50k km, wondering if the thinking that once reach 50k km better do a piston overhaul is true or wait until it breaks down?

 

This is very chim question cause i dont know what previous owner riding style is, 50k km is alot of milage for a FW plate.

Some riders like to keep their bike in tip top condition, so a top overhaul at 50k km to check out the internals of the engine is nothing unheard of. Some other riders feel that a top overhaul is only necessary if there are problems with the bike.

 

Up to your preference.

I was quoted $400+ for doing such overhaul and I know its much too ex... do you know of any plc that I can get for a much better price? Planet? Koon?

[destroybot]

Agreed should be own preference.

 

For me if i had the money i would definately go for the check. Cause i know for 50 k km milage alot of thing already wear and tear, eg time chain, regulating valve.

i need some help.

 

i have been encountering difficulties in changing gear. i'm sure it's not because of EO cos even when change EO also got this problem.

 

and i'm also been hearing squeeking sound from the front tyre that area when i tried push the bike around the carpark.

 

advice please. thanks in advance.

Take the reading from an upright position. You only need to top up if it reaches below the halfway mark. when you do, its advisable to ask the mechanic to bleed the brakes then top up the brake fluid.

check your spark plug and spark plug cable to see if its loose or connected properly. water probably seeped in, causing the engine to die. And you can only start it up only after it has dried off.
