What is the air pressure in rear tyre? And are you sure its aligned perfectly?

r1 2014-07-23 12:22:34 +0500 #162

Yes alignment is OK and the tyre pressure is 35PSI.

share tread picture. also i know it sounds obvious, but are you sure that brake hasn't been setup to be too sensitive? should be 5mm freeplay in brake lever

vickytulla (vickytulla) 2014-07-24 02:53:20 +0500 #164

brake must be extra tight if alignment and air pressure are ok.

r1 2014-07-24 05:21:17 +0500 #165

No, brakes are at normal position.

@r1! Let me share my experience. I don't know if have told you this before, but when i got my bike (used) approx 5 years ago ... i had to change both of its front and rear tyres. Because:
1. The stock tyres were badly misaligned
2. The rear tyre was brand new but was slippery as hell. It was later when i found out the reason, it was because of its "rubber" which had gotten "rigid".

So your tyre may "Seem" fine by seeing its tread, but it may've lost its road grip because of that. If thats the case, then you will have to change the tyre ... to avoid any big accident (ALLAH na karay).

BUT FIRST .... do this. Reduce the tyre pressure in rear tyre to 28psi, and 20psi in front. (Do note that you won't be able to do pillion riding with this, but bear with me on this). Now take some test runs and let me know how the tyre reacts. If it still feels twitchy, or feels like its gonna slip any second ... then its definitely the tyre.

Do let me know what you find.

EDIT: Wait, i just remembered, you opened up your rear swing arm to clean and oil it up. Its possible that you have fitted the tyre slightly misalinged.

On your rear swing arm, where the real axel goes ... there are some markings ("Bars"). Count those markings on both Let and Right side to check if your have fitted the tyre correctly. (I am sure you know how to do this)

EDIT 2: Those markings are visible in this picture you have posted on previous pages.

Note the "bars" on the rear swing arm.

Old Side Cover Locks
- They are in perfectly fine working order. Though for the sake of "One Key", i had to change them as well.

Went to mechanic he asked me to change the tyre. @abobobilly the allignment of tyre and bars is at standard position.

r1 2014-07-25 12:01:11 +0500 #171

How much did you pay for Ignition Kit?

Well ofcourse that would be the 'easy way out', not really a solution. But yes, as i have mentioned ... tyre rubber becomes hard sometimes and loses its grip.

r1 2014-07-25 15:29:56 +0500 #173

I bought Ignition Kit for Rs. 1,150/- from Makhdoom Corp

abobobilly (abobobilly) 2014-07-25 17:48:02 +0500 #174

Rates continuously increase ho rahay hain brother. You may have purchased like 6 months ago.

Makhdoom's rates are mostly higher than the market. I am sure i could've purchased this from other shops for like Rs.100 less.

r1 2014-07-27 05:33:22 +0500 #175

I have bought one year ago.

Btw changed the rear suspensions

ha125 (ha125) 2014-07-27 05:56:04 +0500 #176

Performance with the new suspension?

sent from my Xperia

r1 2014-07-27 11:19:20 +0500 #177

2kms ride.. Came back home and thrown away the suspensions.

ammarzahid (ammarzahid) 2014-07-27 11:23:46 +0500 #178

details please

abobobilly (abobobilly) 2014-07-27 11:31:00 +0500 #179

You can't be serious. You could atleast tell me the details.

r1 2014-07-27 12:56:33 +0500 #180

The first problem which was faced during installation of suspensions was that the diameter of its bushes was very small. So took out the bush upper rubber which were wrapped over steel collar cushion. We replaced the upper and lower rubbers and hit the stock collar cushion inside the rubber with hammer.

Second problem was the space between spring blocker and lower bolt. The stock suspension has 3.5" (8.0cm) and in after market it was 1.5" (3.81cm). As you can see in image # 2 the spring is touching with the chain cover and it was making Khar Khar sound and chain cover alignment was totally out.

Anyhow, after so much hectic work suspensions were installed and mechanic took my bike for a long ride in order to check the suspensions. He came back and was looking at me with a miserable face LOL!!! Then I took the bike and after riding it half kilometer came back to him with an embarrassing face
During that half kilometer was feeling like as if am driving Hummer without suspensions on Himalya Range.
