hello pros...
im planning to buy a phantom after my TP...
once i took my friend's phantom and test rode it
and i realized the exhaust pipe always 'bua' the ground whenever i negotiate a bend...
do you all (phantom riders) experience this problem?
or isit cos i bend my body too much? but i try on SP or other bikes, theres no such problem.. -
I think its the foot rest (not exhaust) that rubbed against the floor, its very common for phantom.Originally posted by chong-ster:hello pros...

Phantom is a chopper whereas the pipe is lower. You should be ridding correctly and at the speed that is faster, therefore pipe is touching ground when negotiating the bend................that is the problem of japan chopper. For normal chopper the foot pad will touch the ground before the pipe..........you bike will be gone when the pipe touch the ground.Originally posted by chong-ster:hello pros...

wah..you have not pass your TP and your oreadly do bia car tar (foot pad touch ground) liao...I riding my phantom for 1 year but only did it once..with a sharp turn in not too slow speed with pillon and the turn is along a slope...
compare to other bike, phantom has a lower foot pad, so it is possible that is touch the around in sharp turn when u bend to much, although it don happen to us very often.
