Hi Fellow X8ers. I wonder if mine is an isolated case. Please advice.

 

I am very sure that the scooter leans a little on the right while travelling on a straight road, but at times, if the road is angled to the right, seems like its going straight. I judge by looking at the dash and feel. Is it the built of the bike or is it something else? I've been a rider for 10 years, had a vespa, then skipper, bandit, vespa but never have i come across such a strange feel when i ride. Very annoying especially when I was told by a senior mechanic 3 times at PSC that "don't worry, your bike is fine". :sian:

 

Also lately, after doing close to 2000km, bike starts to vibrate violently while moving off. super :sian:

 

What do you think? Your machine got same problem? share lah!

Well for your case, if you think that the reply from the PSC mechanic does not sound ok to you, you can bring your bike to a shop to have a check but bear in mind it is at your own cost. Hmm.. vibration might seem to be like slip clutch :confused: . So, it is up to you if you want go to a shop for a check or hear the advise given by PSC.

You can try to look for Mr Yap and seek his advise on it.

 

I don't feel it slanting towards the right as for the vibration during moving off, I did highlighted that to Mr Yap during my 3k servicing. He says it's ok becos if it is really a clutch slip then you will feel it all the way and not just during moving off. It might due to the low speed that the gear is not engaging it fully.

 

I compare it to a auto car, cars have neutral gear and when they switch to "D" the gear is engaged. As for our scooter, we don't have a neutral gear and if you have noticed, when slowing down, engine brake is engage until the speed is very slow like maybe 10km then it will shift to neutral and then it will just glide through.

 

I don't recall experience this during the 1st 1k mileage it is more noticeable after 2k. Maybe it is due to the wear and tear of the clutch. So far I am into my 4.5k and it is no issue at all, it response pretty well when I accelerate and manage to reach 120km without any issues.

 

Hope this helps.
