My bike died again, while stopping at the traffic light. Went to adjust the idling knob, but whenever I release the trottle, the bike will die no matter how much i adjust the idling. But I still can ride off the bike. However when i drop gear going to a stop, the bike will die again. What should I do

[styrx]

I just change to k&n filter, after moving off when i come to a stop, the bike die. I adjust the idling , but if i release the trottle immediately the bike die. However I can still ride the bike, except when i lower the gear, the bike will die again. I know i need to tune the bike. but what i can do to prevent the bike from dying on the road, so that i can go to the nearest workshop

Spec III, i think still a few more available at BP. Most bikeshops have now stock Revos.

 

Quite a few Spec III on sale in Garage Sales.

Your engine cut-out switch (the red one above the starter pushbutton) may be working intermittently. Toggle with it (ON/OFF) a few times and then to monitor the situation again.

maybe if u post it at the right section, they will be able to help? i believed u clearly know there's a thread for S4 riders? that would be much more than a help:thumb:

 

[BIKER1605199362]

cheap ah, dunno whats your budget...

 

but its ard 460-480 for moulded tail without undertray.

inclusive of LED tail light, rear fender.

 

Its ard 600 if you want everything to be original.

inclusive of everything.

[B.e.n.s.o.n]

i dun think there's any cheap spec 3 tail ba.... u will have to get it mould to fit in.... it a kinda expensive cosmetic mod.... its very stylo (as seen above) but..... pocket might hurts for some coz its onli the outlook... original tailboard oso can sit right? haha.... IMO... might as well get a spec 3 in the first place....

 

TS: U might wanna ask iker for all ur mods... he had wat u want....

Thank bro for moving my post to the correct section....

 

Actually, for me.... i was tinking to renew and start cosmetics my S4 instead of changing, because the engine still in good condition. Why i tink to spend $$$ for modify instead of getting a new vtec3? Coz of $$$ too.. If i change from my s4 to vtec3, i tink estimated have to put in additional 5-6k, since my s4 value now only ard 3k plus.... Let say i spend 1k plus to renew and cosmetics my s4, i can enjoy the same outlook as vtec3 and total i can save of 4-5k.. correct? :cheeky:

 

I believe for those who interested to modify their S4, oso have the same mind of me... :cheer:

Btw, modify of vtec3 tail, is legal?

[B.e.n.s.o.n]

haha... ya la... own preference most important.... dun think illegal..

calculation can be both right and wrong...

unless your bike is in an excellent condition, spending 4-5k for a new tech bike + most prob, not so much maintainance problems....

 

alittle here and a little there for maintainance adds up to alot of $$....

 

regards to the spec 3 tail, according to fellow bikers who also have done the mod, they seem to pass the inspection with flying colours... LOL

[fi_east]

go to s4 bike forum... they state that can get ard 200 to mod the tail to spec3 type, i was thinking of changing to it too if its only 200

Hi there, i can convert your s4 into a cafe racer or streetfighter if u are interested. u can see my works in cruiser section - "RIOT's Den". i do mainly cruisers, but cafe racers and streetfighters also make me drool.. haha..

 

if u are thinking of modding.. my opinion is to truely mod it into something different..
