this price can buy you a Spec I most of the time.

 

Pros of Spec I: VTEC, newer model

Cons of spec I: COE due soon in 1 or 2 years

 

Pros of Ver S: COE renewed

Cons of Ver S: older model, may need to spend more $ to refurbish compared to Spec I

My front wheel currently got this squiking sound like something rub against something. I check it bot there is nothing rubbing. I suspect it's the front wheel bearing, coz when I hold my front tyre and move it from side to side I find it loose a bit. Is front bearing the couse of it???

 

 

Maybe ur brake disc warp....

IKER;4325786']Huh.. You comparing the correct bike or not??

then Spec 3 ? Got turbo ?? cause spec 2 got vtec..

 

 

 

LOL, my reaction was like ===> o_O o_O o_O o_O when i saw the reply...

 

 

Okie, basically to my understanding, Spec 2 Vtec opens at a different RPM..

I forgot what is the RPM... 6.3k for all gears except 6.8K for the last gear..

 

Then Spec 1 is 7k or 105KM/hr then vtec opens... basically is 7K for all gears.

 

:thumb:

Ur correct abt spec 1, vtec opens at 7k on all gears...

But Spec 2 vtec opens at 6.3k for all gears...spec 3 opens at 6.3k for first 5 gears and 6750rpm at 6th gear...

Hee.. used to have this prob on my previous scoot.

Change the front brake pad to a new pair or change to another brand (safest).

 

Different brands of brake pads might have diff compound which caused it to rub against the brake disc, thus causing the sound. More 'powerful' brand pad have tendency to cause this prob.

 

For me, i change from the brand and the issue was solved.

LOL.... i was thinking of buying version S because of the recent fuel price increases.... therefore version S should be more fuel saving the a vtec... but i can't really find a idea version S around west area... mostly all look very old... Just like the component gotta drop off if i going to ride fast... LOL....

Brake pads regardless of brand are not supposed to be in contact with the discs, correct me if i'm wrong. Superior brakes are not supposed to have a tendency to rub against the brake disc to cause any sound. All brake pads should have a slight clearance from the discs as prolonged contact will generate heat and braking efficiency will be lost. This is why auto vehicles going downhill sometimes encounter brake wear from excessive use of brakes as engine braking is not an option.

 

TS' problem is best assesed by a competent mech at a reputable bike shop. We can only speculate if its the discs or bearings. Sometimes my bunch of keys on the ignition place at a certain angle also got squicky sound by flinging around :angel:

P-plate should be an attitude to safety and riding. There's always more to learn.

Normally carb tunning is done without the airbox on..so that I should not think so that the K&N filter makes the difference. What you can do is to adjust your idling dial for a higher idle rpm.say anything below 1.2Krpn.

Usually a change from stock air filter to a high flow air filter will require a re-tune of your carb. A high flow air filter will lean out the air to fuel ratio, therefore a need to re-tune the carb for a better air to fuel ratio.
