which are some of the B9TLs that vibrate badly? few days ago i took a B9TL on 80 with AIA Asia ad, the bus is vibrating very badly, sounds like the whole bodywork is going to break apart like that. worse than the KUBs
nope certainly KUB fare worse than B9s
IMO, relative to age, amongst the DDs, the B9TLs and the Tridents are the worst maintained. The best being the VO3X Batch IIIs.
i feel that some of the B9TL bodywork is worse than the KUB. Hopefully the new B9TL with Wright bodywork will have lesser vibration
None of the KUBs roar as loud as some of the B9TLs, and if ever any bus comes that's noisier, I'm gonna move out of my house.
When the VSOs came I thought I had seen the worst bus. I was so darn wrong.
there is a B9TL on 88 which roars damn loud
SBS7315Y and SBS7335P best candidates
i took B9s to school everyday, the condition of them are getting worse. Volvo Batch 2 and 3 DDs are the best
7333U
what is causing the bad vibration on the B9TLs?

7492T. but that bus power pickup lol. i love it.
7404Z. the handbrake is very loud.
SLBP B9s are the worst-maintained.

Just took 7315Y today! Got to agree with you.
none of the KUB i took vibrate as badly as the B9TLs.

hmm, 500 of the Euro IV KUBs....sure got alot of them vibrate more badly then the B9TLs. i remember one of the KUB vibrated sideways
Vibration ranking:
1st - Euro IV KUBs
2nd - B9TLs
3rd - Dennis Tridents
4th - Euro V KUBs

at least most of them does not vibrates badly.

You never take before B9 that vibrates. It is far worse than K230. K230's vibration is consider nothing compared to B9.

It's due to the poor maintainance of the engine, not really got to do with the bodywork.

should change the title to vibrate badly and loudly.. a few of the Sv88 B9 are very loud. can hear from far... Sv76 B9s are better, but 7435 is also quite loud.
There are quite a number of B9 that vibrates badly, and the vibration is jialat than the K230. Very poor maintainence by SBST
I vote 7335P as the noisiest bus in SBST.
Anyone can try to top this bus with another candidate?
I have the ill-luck of having to hear this demon at least 6-7 times a day if I'm at home.
It's so damn loud you hear it before you even see it within the next 15 seconds before the bus appears from behind the buildings and trees.
As for vibrations...not much better than the K230UBs. My brains get rattled so much it becomes meaningless to compare the KUBs, B9TLs and the Hino Volgrens.
Edit to add: If you have the ill-luck of having to sit at the bus-stop when 7335P starts reving up its engine, your ears can be assured to melt.
7492 is another one loud bus!!
More B9TLs coming.
Ahahahahaha
