It started before the repot. Now that you have mentioned it I reckon it might be too much water and not enough fertilizer. I was very busy over summer and my bonsai's didn't get much love. I was basically keeping them alive. I guess you learn from your mistakes and this hopefully won't happen again! All of my other trees a doing well....
As far as the soil condition. I didn't see anything that looked "bad". What to you actually mean by soil condition? I feel like I need to take more notice next time.
@treeman. Yeah it's a cool tree. I baught it of Tien from Bonsai sensation when he was in Sydney for the market day 2 years ago. It's all of his handy work! I hope I haven't killed it!

Give it some seasol to start off. I have a gut feeling it's lacking nutrients, and when you chopped some root and it's already stressed - doesn't help. Further, I fear it may have been too early in the year to further compound the stress and really give this boy a whalloping.
Me: "I don't feel good, I think I'm going to puke"
Wife: "What? How do you know"
Me: "Gut feeling..."
Good luck, hope it pulls through. Doubt my sarcastic humour helps but hey, I'd try anything - this ones worth saving for sure.
SEASOL SEASOL SEASOL (and given we're still having some good weather, get a couple of those fert cakes Tien has and break them in half, place the four halves around the plant - a week or two after you seasol it).
There are many ways to do things, but only one "best" way.
