Honda wave

[Pauche]

 

so how's comments abt those cheaper types?

still much better than the original ones?

 

so far so good cos can adjust the preload.

[d0n]

Yo guys, been riding vespa for the pass 3 years and when i change to wave i am shock as it requires different skills to handle them. Especially the gear. Perhaps you guys might share a few tips or two~~

Anyway just like to ask whether its a norm of the bike...

1) when changing gears sometimes i kick down, it will not go to the next gear?

2) when moving off after starting the bike, heard clanking of chain. Is it due to the original chain guard?

 

Thanks in advance yah!

 

1. dont tink that's very normal...perhaps u dint depress the gear pedal low enough when u up gear...this bike i feel the gear pedal quite hard...

another reason could be due to...throttle havent close enough then u try to change the gear?

 

2. is yr bike 1st or 2nd hand? if 2nd hand...maybe u can try taking out the lower part of the chainguard (juz need to take out 2 bolts only) then c whether yr chain is overly loose or tight...if 1st hand...bring back to bikeshop ask!

 

disclaimer: whatever stated above is juz my personal opinion

And as for tubeless tires, one set of Front (70/90-17) and Rear (80/90-17) tyre is going for S$70/- also inclusive of workmenship.

hmz..im also interested to change a set of rear suspension lar..maybe find one day some old bird here can bring us to JB to change lor...tink it's cheaper over there

 

anyway if u decide to DIY..tink the suspension seems relatively simple to change leh...take out rear seat side fairings then u r left w/ a few bolts and nuts bah?

 

for tyres...so far pple here recommend michelin pilot sport tube tyres or perhaps tt900 tubeless tyres depending on whether u prefer tube or tubeless tyres? im currently using metelzer rear tyre...so far so good..

[d0n]

 

yes

I oso wanna chaneg the bloody suspension. JB LAB quote me RM100 for the suspension which i think quite reasonable lah. but i waiting for my ERS to come in then i can change!

 

Anyway i noe the way in liao(after potato and race impart their knowledge to me! hee) so if u all wan, we can go in after the new yr then do together, maybe we can try to negotiate for cheaper price! hee

 

I oso wanna install electric horn, cos i think our too soft to be heard... but still deciding whether to go MotorX do or JB LAB

1) change the rear shocks need to remove the rear fairings.

2) remove rear fairings need to remove box, rack, grab rail, chain guard and centre basket.

3) fix on new suspension need to remove a bolt on exhaust so new shocks can go in.

 

took me quite some time to DIY. if u willing to pay mechanic, save u some trouble.

so have u tried to go and open up the lower portion of the chainguard as what i mentioned in my prev reply? opening it up can determine whether izit due to chain too loose or too tight...
