All about Steed

[gmoh]

Vibration usually caused by unbalanced front wheel or loose steering cone bearing. To check just depress ur front brake and push ur bars forward till fork complety depressed. If got 'tok' sound means loose. Front wheel balancing can be done bike shop that has the right equipment. As for engine dying at cold start,try pulling the choke. It's on the left ride near the carb. The idle adjust screw is also there.

 

i think mine got the tok sound man hahaha... eh T1 when free for kopi again?

Can tighten a bit if the bearing is still in reasonable condition. A bit hard to find time for kopi leh.. Day time work,at night sacred my daughters wake up and look for me.. Haha

To add on to T1's note. Steed is a relatively old bike. therefore, like old folks, we have to let them some time to warm up in the morning. Try not to practice high revs to warm up the bike but rather use the choke to warm it up. for about 5 seconds should be sufficient. after that don't forget to close the choke.

i see...thank u brothers for the fast replies.

 

For the starting problem, i will try tonight.

So the procedure is pull out the choke completely then start the ignition?

Coz this morning come office i ride my vespa instead of steed.

 

For the front wheel balancing, where can it be done preferably?

I guess is balancing problem, coz for car oso the same.

Balancing wun be too exp rite?

For me I can't remember the PSI off hand.

whenever I need to inflate my tires, I would take a glance at the prints on the walls of the tires and set the air-pump according to what is stated.

Usually an in-between unit of the lowest and highest PSI.

no wonder... 220 is the mid range pressure.. you should pump a little more =)

That's way too high already.. I normally ride solo,so 200/220 works well for me.. Can up 20 each if u like.. I know HKL does,most other good bike shop can do also..

Dude, I had the same thought whenever I see the chrome front fender.

It does make a kick-ass hugging rear fender.

i reckon any random bike shop would have it dumped in some corner of their shop. My other thought was to split the RX-S fender apart and expand it by about 2" so that it matches the 180 tyre width. I'll keep a lookout for you.

Yeah that's wat I was thinking too.. Slice it and weld a pc in the middle. I think our stock front fender would work better,but I'll prob cost 3times more den RX-S ones..

My tires pump at 250 front and rear, same as my CAR! heeee

Metzeler normal ones: front $145, rear $200, at my trusted wkshop K&T at ubi, same row as first motor but near the middle.. You can also consider shinko tour master for the rear (should be cheaper) and bridgestone exedra for the front. Metzs are quite ex...

 

To T1: If you need a place to weld the 'extra' piece in the middle of your RX-s fender, lemme know..I know a guy who does it well.. Fyi, the chrome is gone once you weld it together so need to rechrome or just paint it Matt Black. Where to get? Can ask Scrapyards lah, starting with Bikeyard (david), then Sungei Kadut, then finally Ah Ann Scrapyard (priciest)...
