oh, i forgot to mention. I just change my rear and front wheel bearings few weeks ago. Is there such thing as a steering bearing ? I thought there's only the steering cone ?

not stupid question, at least you are giving a suggestion. But I don't think it will rectify the problem just like bro Thai said. Thanks for advise !

so everyone, from all your comments can I say that most likely it's due to misaligment of the steering, changing steering cone should solve the problem ?

 

more info: front/back tyres 1 month+ old, front/back bearings 3 weeks old.

1 way 2 test whether ur cone is spoilt or nt.. park ur bike on main stand, put more weight on e rear of e bike 2 make e front lifted above grd..SLOWLY turn ur handle bar frm 1 side 2 e other in both directions...if there is no jerk or jam in between den ur cone is ok..

woah, I didn't know there's such a method to test out the steering cone. Thanks man, at least I learnt something new. I will try that out later, now still stuck at workplace..

sigh..the inevitable has been confirmed...

 

when I turned the steering from left to right and from right to left, in between there's was a bit of resistance. Especially from the centre to left, the resistance is more obvious.. so I guess it's waste money time.. Thanks for help bro Jester !

I tink u can try change the batt... My also kanna lik tat before!

[ZeCSP]

yeah..batt low liao..its time to get a new one!!

[AspMonK]

Thanxs.. guys

[limbat]

Normally if the starter can crank, then the battery is all right. Unless U can feel that is is lacking in power, or slow to start - then change the battery. Otherwise the starter may be faulty - if can starter can crank but engine cannot start ( fire up) then it is the engine is faulty.

********************************************************************

 

Hi guys, i just got my wave s. I would like to ask you about this problem i have. This problem is also a similar problem one of my friends so i thought it is best i ask around here to clarify!.

 

When i brake(front brake) at low speed, the front suspension got tok-tok-tok-tok till coming to a complete stop. I had already check whether it is my front brake piston jamming, but after checking it is allright. My friend told his mech said the front suspension have to service around 70+. This problem always arise when slow down or braking, you can feel the tok tok thing in the brake lever it self.

 

Can anyone one Help?

 

***By the way is inverted fork good? i thought if it is good might as well change to inverted forks. save the trouble of going back to the bike shop and him giving me some excuse... also would like to know is inverted forks legal?******

 

Thanks!!! :cheeky:

[AspMonK]

I have it when slowing down too but not often. It will start jerking on the front suspension like going to stall engine rite??

Try changing the engine oil 4T first. Pour in 1 litre. Try cheap solutions first. If u don know how to change DIY go to moto diam. Good luck.

bro

i tink i get what u mean

for my bike...when in gear 3 reach ard 60kmph if i were to continue opening throttle slowly, the bike response like lagging

but once after 60kmph, the bike will run like normal again

 

for gear 4 at ard 80kmph , i encounter the same thing, but effect is slightly lesser

usually the slack in power is more obvious for the 1st time i hit 80kmph on gear 4 after i start the bike

subsequently if the speed were to drop and rise back to 80kmph the slack in power is less obvious already

 

is my problem somewhat similar to yrs??
