have you checked the wheel bearing?
fork alright?not leaking?
if the bearing's ok i would suggest you to send it to a trusted shop to get the spokes restring/balanced...should cost RM15/wheel+/-.

mind telling me from whom did you get the bike from?

Wheel bearing <--- do you mind to show me the way
Dont think the fork leaking as there is no oil found at the fork.
I did asked the shop to tighten the handle and it has been done but the problem still persist.
Will ask the shop to check the bearing / balance spokes.

Bought it in Jln Klang Lama - Eng Huat

wheel bearing is at the hub...where the front wheel shaft slides into.
try lifting your front wheel and try to rock it...if it rocks...then the bearing's out.

IMHO it would go away after you balance the rim.

gd luck!

As i am new to MZ, i need to ask few question.

Every gear when it comes to the top (meaning high rpm) my bike a bit jerk. Its happened to all gear.

If the road is wet, my pants will get wet as well from knee to the bottom.

Is it normal for MZ or i am the only one who facing the problem.

odd...it should be smooth. Might want to check your carburetion. However, if you are dragging your gears, it could be the rev-cut. It cuts the engine after 10500rpm.

might be caused by water spray from the front tire or the tire of a vehicle in front of you. No help here. However, I know scooters keep them dry. Laughing




btw,did you get the wheel fixed?

Thank for the answer man but i am still facing the front wheel problem eventhough i've send it to the shop. After the wheel repaired, the shop trying to give me the safe answer "if little bit shaking it is normal" <-- i really dissapointed with the answer. There is no such thing. It is not little bit but it is terrible, I've no idea what to do. Maybe i just go back the shop and ask them to check again and again. This problem will occured when i speed up more than 105km perhour. Sad

check to make sure tires are beaded up properly on the rims

make sure rear wheel is stright in swing arm after chain adjusted

check both front and rear for correct tire pressure

Yup. Dave's right.

And you definitely need to ditch your current mechanic. Very Happy

The SM should be very stable up to 130km/h.
