roger101 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I have a 6 year old Click (45,000 k ) no problems up to today. It's jumping all over the road when I go over a bump. I even feel the criss cross road markings like a bump. I took it to the motorbike shop on Soi Buakhao and they fixed it. Well they made it better than it was but it's still bad. Can anyone recommend a motorcycle shop that has the skill to fix it properly. Looking forward to your suggestions. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Two things from my experience? Shocks front and back. Five year from my estimation is about right see if front fork is leaking fluid? I once also was bouncing all over the place while working talking a big guy overheard my problem he went to my bike Click pick up the back of bike and dropped it down a bit said too much air in tire. I had recently replaced Both before letting air out I checked the pressure 60, I dropped it down to 35, and notice a big difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading a motoring forum. Someone was asking for the best tyre pressure(s) for his particular vehicle, stating load, type of wheel, terrain, usual number of passengers etc. Some bright spark asked him if he had a literacy problem? All he had to do was read the pressure stated on his sidewalls and inflate to that. Unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actonion Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) I cant remember exactly but the handbook for my Honda PCX gives Tyre pressures of 30 plus PSI + front & rear .. i put the bike in to a local bike repair shop in East Pattaya for an Oil change, etc.. when i picked up the bike it was how u describe yours, more like riding over a wet uneven Cobblestone road, i checked the tyres, they had put 50+ PSI in front, and rear .. I .deflated the tyres, and alls well...Thai style of pumping tyres up til they rock hard without use of a gauge...

Guderian Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I got fed up a long time ago with over-inflated tyres so I bought an electric air pump and do it myself now. I've found that around 35 psi is ideal for my Click, 40 psi resulted in too rough a ride. If you don't want to buy a pump, just get the tyres over-inflated to 50 psi+ at a bike shop, as usual, and then use a cheap hand pressure gauge to reduce the pressure to around 35 psi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, same problem a good garage in Pattaya put way too much air in, it was like riding on ice. Makes you doubt their other work if they are so stupid to put 60psi in rather than 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOS1 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Over pressure on m/c tires is a common habit in thailand. I never trust a service pressuring my tires. Inflate yourself is my suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger101 Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 One of the first things I did was to get them to check the pressure using a gauge. So it's probably the shocks. How long does it take to change them for new and any Idea of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tire pressure check... well, you will manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several gas stations around town with air pumps and digital gauge readouts, free to use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy99 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 As others have said, it's overinflated tires. I've had exactly this problem in the past after a local Thai shop worked on my bike. I found both tires at 50+ and the bike a CRF250L was extremely squirrely to ride. Reduced tire press to mfg. specs and presto, problem solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you doubt their other work if they are so stupid to put 60psi in rather than 35 I don't think I've ever been in shop flats, new tires, etc actually seen them pull out a guage they just hand feel it. Hell you can buy one anywhere for less than a 100 baht. After that the first thing went out and got a guage not one but a half dozen have one in each bike and the cars. Prior to finding out, I went and got new shock lucky the click only requires one but I paid for a good one had the front struts taken apart and new kit put in although cheap.

I always have my bikes serviced there, air-conditioned waiting room, all original parts, no markups, cheap as chips. This is their main Pattaya service centre, not their showroom workshops which I'm sure have a Dodgy mechanics. Lots of experience and very quick to fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
