knocking sound de , im n0t sure cant help, other seniors with similar experience please help out the knocking sound problem

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Knocking sound? Left side? It's a bit difficult to pinpoint.

 

Knocking sound when stationary and coming from the engine, it's easy to identify... but right now I'm thinking... what kind of knocking sound? Can't be your suspension bottoming out, so check the chassis for any loose fittings.

 

For all you know tightening one bolt will do the trick.

Ya, maybe needed some tightening, cos garang mentioned he heard the knocking sounds when on uneven road or negotiating a bend. Or maybe something is loosen inside the chrome covers?

Try a critical thinking approach to this - the worst-case first.

 

You do not want a loose wheel bearing, loose axle nut, loose suspension mount, things like that. Start shaking the big parts to see what's up. Try raising a car jack under the exhaust pipe and shake the rear wheel, see if it's your wheel bearing acting up. Yes, sometimes you're the victim of sloppy work, like it or not!

 

Get a friend over to help so you have more chance of figuring out what's the problem; you might need his help for the wheel inspection too.

 

Btw, "left" and "right" sounds may be deceiving when the bike is moving. Due to turbulence, airflow, etc chim crap.

Ya, good idea!

I have been wearing full face with a liner inside ever since i got my bike. And today i try open face. I realise there is this loud "ssssss" sound when i'm riding. But when i stop the sound stops too. Anyone has any idea?

 

Recently I changed my air filter to K&N and also clean my chain and lubi.

the open face helmet is of course going to be noisier than your full face... its normal that it whistle more, or whistle more obvious than your full face...

[thechosenx]

But the ssss sound really sounds un-normal for the engine. Didn't have this sound before. Not sure myself.

 

Also, how to clean my chain properly? I spray degreaser then clean with cloth and push bike. Very troublesome any better way to do it alone?

But the ssss sound really sounds un-normal for the engine. Didn't have this sound before. Not sure myself.

 

Also, how to clean my chain properly? I spray degreaser then clean with cloth and push bike. Very troublesome any better way to do it alone?

 

 

Sssss sound - can be your hi-flow filter. Which is normal, since a K&N increases intake pressure at the cost of noise.

 

Intake noise is not that loud though, since I DIYed my intake and I need to concentrate quite a bit to hear the 'vacuum cleaner sound' that I like. That or drive at max power.

 

Or.. it can be just the wind acting on your open face helmet. Perhaps this is more likely because air intake is proportional to engine power output (throttle) and not speed.

 

Phantom is designed like a naked classic bike so yes, enjoy the sound effects

 

Chain cleaning - if you don't consider dismounting the chain and then cleaning it in your favourite solvent, your method is okay I guess.

 

If you have a car jack put it up under the exhaust pipe and jack up the rear end. Do this only if you're confident with the bike because if anything happens it's quite a handful for one person.

 

Don't overdo the degreasing though, a chain (especially O ring type) is designed to hold in grease for protection and lubrication.

 

I saw a beautiful silver/golden Phantom (looked new, and not a FU plate) pass between the lanes on the PIE this morning and everything was sparkling including the golden chain.

 

Problem is by cleaning the chain TOO well the bike was literally destroying the chain as it went flapping away at 90kph. The chain noise was audible 30m away.

[thechosenx]

Hmm anyone knows where to get a bike stand? Since phantom doesn't have main stand. Cleaning my chain is pain in the ass lol. And i'm not sure whether the whole chain is lubricated or not. Unless i'm using bel-ray, which i'm not. I'm using OWS lubi

[kmjoe]

u dun need a bike stand, jus get a jack... if not jus get mepkoh's oiler

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

* Original rear suspension $180 (planet)

 

How about an aftermarket suspension with adjustable preload, compression and rebound? I heard some aftermarkets are cheaper!

My speedo stopped working. I realised that my cable for the speedo is damaged already. How much does it cost for replacement usually?

[devil.L]

30 + i believe.

[iggi3z]

Hi, anyone knows how much is it to replace a second hand front brake caliper or brand new front brake caliper?

 

After changing the entire pump and pads, my brake pads still wear our fast within 1 month and can hear the screetching sound on the brake disc.

 

my guess is the caliper is damaged.

its very difficult to damage the caliper... unless you have an accident... maybe your brake disc is worn?

[thechosenx]

Hmm anyone here knows whether can put aftermarket signal lights on phantom like LED lights or something? I self-skidded and broken the left signal ): How much will the LED cost if can put them on?

 

IRC tires are horrible - i bought the bike, the owner change new tires so dun feel like changing them yet. But can even skid on dry straight roads. Model IRC P66 or something.

you can practically use any kinda signals..

myself, im using sportsbike turn signal for my rear..

LED cost as in th set of turn signals?

below 30bucks i believe..

 

IRC is always stereotyped as lousy tyres..

but thr'r different 'model' of th tyre, so yea.. (:

metzeler wld be a good choice if you were t change.

[thechosenx]

Hmm i might want to try out the pirelli tires city demon? You use b4? I know its out of point because there's a tire subject in the forum but just asking lar.

 

Hmm i might want to change both sets the front and back to LED ones. Hmm not illegal to change them?

[devil.L]

mm, city demon im not too sure of th quality, i hasnt used em befor..

but according to fellow riders, its pretty good..

anthr good one is, smthg smthg fire edition or smthg like tht..

go for th one with your ideal threading.. picking up use, cornering use, wet surface use, depending on which is your riding style, different tyres suits different riding style & road condition.. (:

 

can also, front & back change to led ones..

i doubt its illegal, its for increase visibility aftrall.

myself, riding a kustombike, i dont rlly bother bout legal or illegal. =x

some othr fellow pks here wld know th crazy mods ive done.. (:
