which is why we bikers ourselves should strive to know more technical stuff about our bikes, so that we don't get chopped.Originally posted by nufc do2:arggg, wtf wtf wtf!!! went to the motor shop to check, say chain spoil little bit... must change sprocket and chain, around $100, but he say can still tahan for few months, no problem... damn shit, money here and there, and then dun know if it's true of he's out to make money... really feel like giving up bike, eat so many $$$ liao... should i trust the uncle, pls advise...
when was the last time you changed your chain and sprockets? or cleaned/lubricated them for that matter?
look at the teeth of your sprocket. if they're fine, they should be symmetrical. if they're worn out, they'll look very curved and sharp. go through the chain to check for loose links or anything like that.
finally, get a rag and some kerosene (if you're using o/x-ring chains) or petrol/diesel (for plain normal metal chains), clean it thoroughly. clean your front and rear sprockets at the same time. then lube your chain well.
see if that gets rid of the sound. perhaps it is just a dirty chain that needs cleaning.

if the brake pistons are properly seated and working, and the pads correctly installed, there should not be any sounds, unless you're braking. this is assuming that your brake rotor/disc is working fine and not warped or anything.Originally posted by giorson:i got this prob b4. its not a prob actually. me too after changing the brake pad, the tire will give dat sound. it'll take sometime b4 the sound goes off.
but you're right. new brake pads need to be seated in...

and after cleaning/lubricating the chain, let us know the result, so that everyone can try that if they get the same problem.Originally posted by nufc do2:hock kim leong at bukit merah... damn it, i feel like burning the bike... y is it that bike so many problem, but i never heard of car having these problems... but from the sound, i dun think it's chain problem... i m really confused... think i will tahan with it... save money...

went to lubricate chain liao... today saw some motor friends, ask them for advise... then they help me see... they dun think chain got problem... as what u all said, they think it's because of the brake pad, still not season... motor diam uncles really know hw to make money, bike got problem then they ask u to change this that... arg, when is there a good and honest motor shop...

oh alright.. hope your problem goes away soon... quite funny that brake pads can make a sound as you've described.Originally posted by nufc do2:went to lubricate chain liao... today saw some motor friends, ask them for advise... then they help me see... they dun think chain got problem... as what u all said, they think it's because of the brake pad, still not season... motor diam uncles really know hw to make money, bike got problem then they ask u to change this that... arg, when is there a good and honest motor shop...
anyway, the next time you clean/lube your chain, get your friends to show you how to clean the front sprocket. it's pretty bike-specific, so i can't help, but you'll be surprised at how much dirt that is there...

hi,,,,clean yr chain and sprocket with the disel oil,,thast how i celan it,,,,clean everypart of it and the chain,the disel oil will make the dirts and grease come off,,,then after cleaning apply some engine oil on it,,,no need to put too much chain lube,,,just put some engine oil,,,but have to check wether the chain is dry or not once every 3 or 4 days,,,this works for my chain and sprocket,,,,no problem so far,,,more then a year already,,,
and if u kept on hearing sounds,,,check wether is it the brake pads got problems or maybe is the wheel sub bearings have broken or not,,,this happen to my aprilia last time,,,then can feel the bike is unbalance and when moving off or stopping can hear noise from the back,,,commmonly its the brake pads which is not gd and it makes sound,,,but have to depends,,,sometimes when the pads have some sands in it,,,the sands will make noise when u brake,,,just take the pads out and wash then fix it on back,,,should bee no more noise unless its something else,,just like wat i say above,,, either bearings had broken,pad got sand,sprocket teeth if become sharp on the ends already then pls change,,,cos no matter the chain u change and never change the sprocket,,,,still the chain will become spoilt in no time,,,this come with my experience,,,my aprilia had change 3 times of chain,sprockets in 2 years,,,and 1 time sub bearings....lucky i sold it already,,,,,
ps.....above mentions things are to be varifed by different kind of bikes,,,, ;P -

hi there... diesel works best for the normal metal chains, cheaper than petrol.. but only for plain metal chains..Originally posted by castrol 3:hi,,,,clean yr chain and sprocket with the disel oil,,thast how i celan it,,,,clean everypart of it and the chain,the disel oil will make the dirts and grease come off,,,
for o-rings or x-ring chains, it's not that good to use diesel, because the effects on the rings are not that known. petrol WILL destroy the o/x-rings... the best alternative would be to get kerosene from hardware stores. cheapest, confirm will not harm the chain. just don't smoke when you're cleaning the chain..
and don't store the kerosene bottle under your seat or your bag..

agree with using kerosene,,,,mine is using x/chain,,,,but i dunno wat defects there is if using disel,,,,,so far it works for mine,,,
just remember to clean yr chain and sprockets at least once in a week,,,then it can save yr chain and sprocket from getting easily spoilt and waste money to buy new ones
be happy and no worries -
ah i just checked the DID website.. they recommend kerosene for their o/x-ring chains...Originally posted by castrol 3:agree with using kerosene,,,,mine is using x/chain,,,,but i dunno wat defects there is if using disel,,,,,so far it works for mine,,,
