Advisible to go PSC for initial check if you bought it first hand.

Book appointment before you go, avoid disapointment.:sweat:

And you will see the long hair gettlemen Mr Yap, pour your question and doubt with him.:smile:

Means logically it won't slip. But don't bet on it.

 

The way I see, it won't slip - at least until the warranty is over. :goodluck:

Look at the bright side, at least in so far as I know, X8 has got less problems than the X9. :D And the thieves haven't make it a target yet.

Can i ask fellow X8 owners, installed Polini Speed Control.

 

what is the original weight of the rollers ?

 

what is the RPM when moving off from stand still ?
