Moisture on speedo, sound on front fork, noise on the clutch housing, and gradual decrease on engine oil. Did you guys encountered this?

is this true? decrease on engine oil? just planning to buy the Sniper MX 150. the first 2 issue i think it is very easy to be fixed but the engine oil meaning the rings is not enough to seal the oil in the crank case that's is why it burns. i doubt that oil will coming out from the oil seals.

yeah, thats possible. that DIY thing. just be making sure it's tight enough to stay in place or weld/cover the excess hole.
i think its not a good idea enlarging the cam gear since we all know the tension was on this side of the engine it can go back or moved to its abnormal position better look for adjustable type of cam gear.

snipermx malayaklan is right even if you secure the tightness or else it will fail.
it could hit the valves and piston.

just a piece of advise.

As per my own experience on my mx king
I experienced all the said issues like moisture on speedo, tock sound in my front fork, knocking sound in my clutch housing but im still daily checking my engine oil for any decrease. I will update this thread as soon as i experience that said issue,..

The problem is yamaha mechanic always telling us that it is normal, always remember this forum is made to inform users and spread knowledge not to destroy the image of its bikes. If you know something share it dont hide or cover it.

yes that's right, In fact i am the one who first posted about clutch lining issue, got that info from Malaysian forum. and yes it's confirmed that mx king uses soft compound clutch lining already checked my bike kasi,
about your bike's issue: i think you need to strongly argue those mechanics, sometimes they tend to be careless when approaching costumers.
so far most mx king user here in Bacolod complaining about front fork (Tock/pack sa lubak), knocking sound sa clutch housing. never heard moisture on speedo and engine oil issue...

mas maganda biritin sa 1st gear to 3rd gear then downshift to 2nd gear down to 1st gear then birit naman. pg binirit wg mg dalawang isip.. bumba talaga para mrong pressure ang mga piston rings sa loob... don't worry my limiter naman yn. sagad mo 10k rpm bawat shift.. basta walang sagabal sa daan biritin mo..

pg mg donwshift wag pigain ang clutch lever. hayaan mong humiyaw yng makina... pero d basta basta mg downshift baka mg slide yng rear tire mo...
kakabili ko lng po ng smxi . . nag 250km ako.. ginawa ko na rin yung hard break in pero 100 km/h lng ang nakukuha ko sa 500 meters hanggang for gear yan.. maiks lng kasi mga daan namin dito.. normal lng po ba na mag 100km/hr lng? im weighing 90 kg. . tapos any advice para mas mapalakas ko pa baby ko?

Good day fellow sniper 150 drivers! i have noticed this issue at around 400~500km at odometer and would like to confirm if this issue is present in your motorcycle as well. So I noticed that the front wheel is slightly misaligned to the right even if i tried to align the handlebars to the middle. (This issue also happens when im driving.)

The mechanic from yamaha told me that this slight misalignment is due to the wires that are constricted under the handlebars but i just wanted your opinion on this as well. If you have not experienced this or noticed this, i would like your suggestions on how to fix this problem as this is my first motorcycle. :D

Thank you and good day!
