Just changed the panels on my Speedfight, and added a side stand, took it for a little ride and when I pull off and brake it vibrates! Feels like its coming from the front somewhere, it isn't the brakes, used just the back brake and it still happened, and vice verser, really stumped on this one! Need some advise or answers asap so I can get it sorted, really doesn't feel safe lol, Thanks
you dont know how to fit a crank? or have a friend that can do it. also on the speedfight 2 just cheack the front shock it can be a problem if you ride hard they blow easy and can start to vibrate
I don't tbh, I'm not a mechanical person lol, my brothers a car mechanic, he's done all of the work so far but doesn't wanna do this coz he's never done it and doesn't wanna mess it up :/
Easy thing to do, just take your time and do it right. lots or on-line guides. http://shiny-red.net/archives/884
I've got a haynes manual, and tbh, I'd rather spend the money on a bike mechanic so they can get right to the source, like you said it may be one of a few things
testing the bearing as a easy as removing the tranny case and wiggling the veriator to feel for movement. testing the front shock it just looking at it for oil weeping from the seals
My mates speedfights got the same problem at the minute, it vibrates so much until he pushes down on the front end. Turns out his front shock has popped so may be the same problem as yours?
You may be right my friend, couldn't wait till tomorrow, so I had a local bike mechanic quickly look it over about an hour ago, he rode it, looked at it all as much as he could, he said there's oil leaking from the shocker, the front wheels all lined up, no play in the steering, nothing inside rattling, nothing in the way of the wheel, and it's not my brake coz its a new caliper and disk
you mean he charger you how much to do what i told you to do.... look for oil marks arounf the front chock
No, I don't mean that at all. He literally just looked it over, didn't charge me a penny, he then suggested to start with the obvious, I told you I'm no mechanic so I wanted a professionals advise, he didn't even ask me to get him to change the shockers
