Hi all, i have a Q. I've been riding my S4 Spec2 for almost 4mths now and it seems to be having a little problem.....Filling up full tank ( 17Litres ), my bike can only clock 220km and its already down to reserve! Its a pain to hear others clocking more than 300++km on their S4....I've just changed 1) Spark plugs 2) K&n Air filter 3) Oil filter and engine oil and even fix on REV-TEC just to see if theres any changes....but everything's the same..220km and it hit reserve!!!

Apreciate if you could advise me on what you think is the problem!!

go get ur bike tuned by reputable shops like k&t, racewerks, etc... get ur bike tuning checked.. the tuning is more important than any of those u changed to help in the mileage..

[Q] Would anybody care to enlighten me on what is the difference between the Spec I, II, III, S and R versions of the S4 (apart from it coming out at differet times).

 

For e.g. I hear that the S version is really fuel economical, from 26 - 30km/l!!

and some versions have VTEC. Hrmz.

 

Thanks much! :cheeky:

 

Wow...tis qn has been asked quite a number of times...verS came out aft PB1 no vtec in this engine. Ver R is a rare ride and wat i've heard is the upgraded version of verS..Spec I, II, III all have vtec but each ride opens at different rpm..

Spec I, vtec opens at 7000rpm,

Spec II, vtec opens at 6300rpm,

Spec III, vtec opens at 6350rpm for first 5 gears, and 6750rpm for 6th gear...

Perhaps u cud change ur riding style...if u always whack and open vtec valves everytime u change gear, u can say bye2 to ur good fuel consumtion..

got arh.. got 6th gear..

 

anyway, i install a voltmeter on my current s4.

 

The problem is, when i'm in cruising mode, the voltmeter only shows 12.7v maximum. When engine braking, the rpm increases, thus the voltmeter also increases to 13.1 and gradually decrease till 12.0v when i come to stop.

 

previously my s4 can hit 13.9v while cruising. Isit the rectifier/battery/spark plug problems?

 

pls enlighten.. thanks..

look out for rusty parts, response of bike, hear the engine for knocking sound.. check stability of bike. check sprocket/chain, tyre wear & tear, check if alignment is out by riding it and then let go to freehand
