hi Jay, if i go your shop, can help check my d400 why getting knocking sound during cold start?
also, can you check if my bike need VC?
currently odo clocked at 60k, all this while all ok.
not sure related or not, but issue start after i go change to 3rd party sprocket @ 15-42 (both front and rear is now RK brand).
the reason why i highlight sprocket is because i read at AMS fb , mention that 3rd party front sprocket screw might hit the engine.
also despite done change fresh engine oil, but the engine still feel not smooth not sure why.

also if your side can help on my front fork leaking issue that will be great. done change fork seal 3 times at SC , but leaking still happen.

dem thats really bad. my d400 issue is nothing if compare to what you been through.
and yes, i totally disagree the part where they mention dust partial or stone stuck in it and cause leaking , that is pure BS.

i get the same explain from the shop i purchase my d400, which i do not buy at it all since changing the fork seal did nothing to solve the issue.
they even told me "thats excessive fork oil when install at factory, after done leak out it will be fine" kind of BS, which i tell my self i will never go to this shop for anything ever again.

and yes, i get the same fanboy defensive explain when i highlight this issue via FB or dominar whatsapp group. they just swipe it aside like its something minor.
or "you pay peanut you get peanut, why you even complain" kind of reply.
as if i should not highlight issue for something i purchase just because it was cheap , ok fine.

totally agree . to be honest my 1st thought was glad that you or anyone that riding that bike was unharmed due to that faulty abs.

my guessing is that these people at brand M / B, betting on these "cut costed" part , ditching quality and QC.
they definitely went through all the parts , and decide which part can be fit in using the cheapest and lowest quality part for profit sake.
i know im making assumptions here but as a user i can see a lot of part is very poor quality.

and you know why they dare to reply like that ?
cuz they know most of the people that purchase this bike will do the exact same thing, keeping silent or just swipe it aside and go fix them self.

any kind of question/argument bout the quality will be shutdown by " the bike so cheap , apasal still mao complain/minta lebih ? "
hell, i even get that exact same answer for just suggest that this bike will be better if can have a bigger gas tank.
so i cannot even suggest some improvement ?? seriously ??
you cannot talk anything bad about this bike , not even suggesting some improvement.
especially the front fork seal leaking , that is clearly a defect, and majority owner is experiencing it.
and you know what that brand M did ?
they launch a few days event , so called "walk in and replace fork seal" at their subang SC , very short duration of time,
and then end it with something like "due to very less people actually came for replace, hence this fork seal leaking issue is not major".
mind you their so called walk in to fix this issue is short to no notice in the media , no call or what so ever to me despite i was in the waiting list for fork seal replacement, and those that get the news mostly was circulated within their so called official groups.
how they conclude this issue really is something .
holy cow these people. talk bout taking responsible.

again , my thoughts is , this M brand will never improve, officially they put zero effort in sc
all actual service was delegate to those so called SC plus.

went through their official SC at subang 3 times , i swear i do not want to return there ever again.
A total waste of my time.
