Hmmm, well you did something most people would surely avoid doing them selves. I have to say I am somewhat proud of you ๐๐
So just looking at the shocks, the new ones actually looks like it got more spring to them I'd say it definitely made some difference (Huge actually) didn't it?
The brakes, yeah that looks real nasty, REAL nasty. I'm wondering did you struggle a bit to get it bled? Just curious? I had a Honda XR150 and I had a real hard time bleeding the front brakes on that one. And I myself work in a work shop as a technician. So you can imagine.
A tip with riding bikes.
Keep in mind I am not saying you don't know how to drive. I just share this im general with everyone I know climbing on those two wheelers.
If you know you know. If you don't well you learnt something that could potentially save you.
Keep at it broh. Still keen on seeing some Blacksmithing stuff ๐๐
Hey thanks for the nice words.
I had to choose between getting rid of the scooter for something else cuz it was killing my back or fix it. Since the mechanic wasnโt too keen on doing work on this bike cuz they are not doing job on Kymco usually, I chose to do it myself.
The new shocks definitely made a big difference. With the old ones I could feel all the road imperfections but the new ones smoothen all the small ones which removed most of the continuous vibrations.
Bleeding the brakes wasnโt too hard actually. I just took a piece of tubing and put one end on the brake the other in a bottle and pumped the brake lever. At the beginning it was a bit stiff, probably cuz of the dirty fluid. Then it was smooth.
Thanks for the video. I watched a lot of riding tips videos ๐
