galolo Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hi everyone. I own a Yamaha FIno that rides perfectly on steady roads but that gets quite unstable on bumpy roads. Since many Bangkok roads have holes, bumps and cat eyes on them, i often feel like my Fino will fall every time i drive over them and it feels quite dangerous. I was wondering how i could solve this problem and if i should put larger tires/wheels on my motorbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VocalNeal Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 Can you quantify unstable? Steering wobble? Suspension bounce? Tires have a mind of their own. (follow lines in the road) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 That's what you get with a small light scooter, with one suspension arm. I doubt if tyres would make much difference. A bigger scooter like the Aerox would be much better, wider tyres, two suspension arms and more power/weight. I remember riding my tgf's Honda icon and it was scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybole Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 How old and worn is it ? Old style motor bikes used to need renewal of suspension bearings, steering head bearing and front fork sliders every 5000 miles. The transformation on renewal of steering head bearing (very easy to do) could be delightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember riding my tgf's Honda icon and it was scary. I guess by suspension arms you mean the rear suspension. For what it's worth: one or two rear suspensions makes no difference in terms of stability. Nearly no big bike has two and they are infinitely more stable than an Aerox. Having two rear springs is mostly for looks. What makes the biggest difference in terms of stability is suspension quality (and matching the riders weight), wheel base, wheel size and general frame geometry including rake/trail. There's dozens other factors playing into it of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cali4995 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 if you take off some of the front plastic bits, you will see you really only have 1/2 length front forks . you can swap these out easily enough along with the rear coil-over shock. the difference can be dramatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
