Take off your headlamp and check see the socket for your H4 bulb has partially melted. You may oso want to spray WD40 or use electronic contact cleaner to clean the switch.

 

To verified if your battery is ok..you need a voltage multimeter to measure across the terminal..make sure the set the meter to DC reading correctly and itn its range,,should read at least 12vdc..lowest 11.8vdc. the other thing is that you can check the rectifier output and see the charging voltage is correct at 13.8vdc. May be, can do it in a Mototiam..they may charge you for testing.

i was thinkin too.. but the forum ppl here who noe how to do is not frenly enuff.. they wont reply 1... any1 got idea wher can fix cheap spec 3 tail?? kindly share your idea..

 

the forumers are friendly most of the time, but they may not be able to spend so much time to answer questions and not to mention spend time and energy to help others to fix up things. Remember, many of them hold full time jobs or studies and are not charging a fee (or maybe for kopi).

excessive wear in transmission bearings and bushes. Overhaul the

I was thinking of that too, but with all the modding involved on the ori headlight, my heart somehow felt un easy...so i'm thinking of buyin the alien headlight and installing it there...halogen plus projector lens, confirm

Don't know what you looking for but for most site like the USA, European, Australia..etc..all are 600cc and above for roaster. The rest are mixed.

 

If you go Thailand, Indonesia..etc...site..you find lots of the smaller one..Kup-Kiea plenty. Anyway if you are into S4...Japan site has the spec, history etc..good luck. That link givem avove should have a link to the Ji_Poon_Kiea site lah.
