u try go braddel rd caltex(near Raffles Institute)...there is 1 bike shop there..e mechanic is friendly n helpful.. give it a try..

[phatish]

price wise?

[silversurfer2012]

When with my friend to rectify this problem on his bike. His bike has clock more than 50,000km and was starting to vibrate very badly at around 70km/h. When to a few shops and all was pointing to the timing chain. So end up replacing it and the problem was gone.

[phatish]

so the shop charge about $100-200 for the change in timing chain? where is it located? able to change myself?

For engine = check Clutch Plate and the housing.

 

For Air Filtration = check your air filter element if need to change, then change it for healthier engine.

clutch plates just change bout a year ago...should be good for another 2 years or so...housing as in the gusket? change when i did the clutch. carb wash about half year ago. 4 stroke nothing to wash..haha. when the mech remove it, it looked so clean man..haha

[RxzDelux]

Here's a rough guide list on what to check periodically.

The housing i refer to is the clutch housing which hold the clutch plates. Inside it got rubber bush. After long usage of wear and tear sometimes the rubber bush is broken due to worn out. If the rubber bush inside the clutch housing is broken the gear and the clutch housing will move. In Johor I think they have the rubber bush.
