So if you just had the front wheel balanced correctly would that off cured the problem.?

Yes, that is correct. But as the clamp is a solid rubber block with steel inlay bolt and is relatively heavy it is better to remove it instead of adding more weight for counter balancing. Increased weight goes all time with increased forces.
So I actually reduced forces and hope its good for bearings and overall structure.

1. Can balance motorbike wheels.

Is like trying to find Rocking Horse Shit.
I explained just in case someone asked ShuBen why you didn't opp for the tyre balancing way.
thats unfortunately very true. There might be some hidden talents but its a jackpot if you find them.
E.g. My SWM dealer should put a set of Karoo3 Dualsport tires on me BRANDNEW! bike. It ends that my rear tube was punctured before rolling out and both rims have been heavily scratched. :-(
As I was concerned I had asked them to use a tire machine because these tires are quite hard to install, but seems a idiot did it by hand and bad tire irons
The only thing i could achieve was "Sorry"..... and now they wonder that I do all maintenance on my own.
The best way.Quote:

I needed a new gear sensor fitted the the MT the other day.
C.F. sent the new part to a local dealer, and I just picked it up from them to be fitted by me at a later date. Lol
You can balance the tire yourself. It is not too hard.
@moilami, I still think the less additional weight on a wheel the better. The weight is every time placed at a specific spot and not evenly distributed around the rim.

I keep my eyes open for the ShuBen shop next.:riding::riding:
Looks good, the only way to do it here in China, design & build yourself.
Next move place an add on Taobao.
But then again. You will be dealing with Chinese buyers.lol
Have you built the rack for boxes/luggage?
I remember you said the rear frame needs to be reinforced to carry weight, have you done that?
Not build yet. All drawings and design solutions ready. I hope I can make it during October holiday.

Looking forward to seeing your creation. Only a rack or also reinforcement?
Will be reinforced.

Hello,
I am thinking about getting an SWM RS300R, but not sure which dealers actually sell them. I live in Huizhou, Guangdong. Can anybody tell me where they bought their SWM ?
Thanks Symon
Nlce to hear you are still alive.
Been nearly 2 years from when you last posted .
Try and find a Shineray Dealers .
But that In it's self could be just as hard.
Also why not buy one from Taobao.
https://s.m.taobao.com/h5?q=SWM+RS30...Submit&tab=all
The 1st seller bike looks like it's been used 323 km but is cheap 10.000 rmb cheaper then new.
Just got my wife to check location of dealers for you.
The first motorbike 53800rmb ,from Xuzhou （徐州）
The second motorbike 60800rmb, from Kunming. （昆明）
I advise take bit more money and get a 500cc. I can tell you after testing both I more than happy to have taken the 500.
I call it one of the best buys on all bike I ever bought!

Thanks for the idea of Taobao but I would prefer to buy from a local dealer as I would prefer that the bike is delivered to me with number plates, etc. The local Honda dealer also had a few Shinerays in last time I visited, I will go and have a chat with them after the holidays. I know this Honda dealer quite well as I bought a Honda 110 for the misses a couple of years ago from them. I'll let you know how I get on with that.
Shuben,
I have read how happy you are with the 500 but I would prefer a lighter more agile bike for off road use and being legal to ride down the road at the same time. I have been honing my skills on a Beta Evo 300 trails bike over the last few months and now I want to start using those new skills on an enduro type bike. If I lived somewhere else I would have already bought a Husqvarna Te 300 ( rode one last December in Spain ) amazing machine.
Thanks both of you for your input
Just as last comment:
The two machines are same. Only displacement is different which results in 7kg more for the 500. On he other hand I also know people that are happy with their 300cc 😁

I am guessing from that commit you will not have the bike plated in you name then.?Quote:

Just I have found in the past it's always best to have full control over the bikes documents and not be dependent on some shop owner Chinese guy you don't know.
If you intend to just use the bike for hard core off-road riding.
I can understand why you only need 300cc bike.
We all here on MCM would love to view some pictures from other rides out if you have time to post.
Shuben,
I didn't know that the only difference is the engine and 7 kgs. Maybe I need to rethink that one, but my first thoughts are I would prefer a lighter bike and the 300cc would be plenty powerful for my poor technique. I might get myself into more trouble with a 500 !

Actually the local Honda dealer is pretty good, I have bought one bike from him and friends have also bought from him. Everyone seems to be happy. I would prefer that he takes care of the documents and paperwork. I suppose I just want the easy option.
IŽll start a new thread with some photos of my rides with my Yamaha XTZ 125 / 200 and Beta Evo 300 factory. And try to give the people on this forum the type of terrain I normally ride. Recently I have just been using the Beta Evo as it is so much more fun and I can go places on the Beta that I couldn't even dream about reaching with the Yamaha. And the Beta makes me look like a much better rider than I actually am :-)
@Symon: in case your weight is can. 100kg like mine :'-( .... the 500 might be the better option.
For offroad 300cc is enough and with the 500 you must have a sensitive throttle hand otherwise you see your rear wheel suddenly in front of you. (At least when you have removed all restriction)

Shuben,
Over the last 18 months I have lost some weight, now I am about 80 KGs. From my ride on the Husqvarna TE 300 ( which was a bit over powered for me ) I think the 300 will work out fine. And as long as it can cruise at 100 kph on the roads I will be happy.
I will go to see the local dealer after the holidays to see if I can work out a deal :-)
I want to upgrade my bikes bulbs to these but am worried about wattage. These are 42W and stock bulbs on my bike are 35W.Quote:

A LED LIGHT with 45 W output is about 22 W current draw.Quote:

Thanks for the speedy reply guys. Ill prolly put them on next weekend.

35W...42W....55W... I think its what they take not the output but I might be wrong.
That is my point a 100 W LED will only draw 50 W from the engine.Quote:

Anyway, as long as my alternator can cope with 2x42W LEDs ill be happy. And as long as my wiring wont burn of course ;)
ShuBen has already kindly pointed out, it works with no problem or burns outs.
For which Im grateful. Will install over the weekend. ThanksQuote:
