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".

 

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

 

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 . So, it is up to you if you want go to a shop for a check or hear the advise given by PSC.
