help! just got bike yesterday.

made 3 trips yesterday and each time after leaving the bike for a few hours.

a patch smaller than palm size forms under the bike just in front of the side stand.

 

i really hope its not engine oil leaking.

is the indicator on the speedo [oil] for engine oil?

so at least i get a warning if engine oil really runs low?

 

 

[oil] indicator is on b4 starting engine.

goes off after engine started. normal?

definitely thicker than water, but not very thick.

 

just now tried to clean up the floor, water just flow above it, the leak waterproof the ground liao. later try to clean up the floor again, if not dangerous.

its pretty strange to have chain lube dripping until like tht. hows the rear rims & tires? dirty from the chain lube?

 

u might wanna try planet motors, the boss is gd in troubleshooting, i go there when i cant figure out the prob

Hi guys... I am new S4 rider so hope can get some help from you guys... Whne I slow down there is this ti ti ti ti sound came out from the front and it sound like the is from the handle but had tried tighten every things but the sound is still there... it is more clear if I just move off and slow down...

 

Also when travel at fast speed when slow down there is is feeling like some things is gonna fall off from the engine but after checking there is no loosen parts... the feeling is like glog glog glog.... sight....

i think it's the rubber seal need to change.The other time i also encounter this problem but luckily still under warrany so went back to bike shop and they just replace one of the rubber seal at the gasket( err...dunno what's that call.)

Costed me $10 as the mechanic says they are charging me for the change of coolent as removing the item will cause the coolent to flow out.(not too sure if it's real or they are just trying to earn some $$$)

hi guys,

 

jz bot a pair of bulbs rated 12v/21/5.. coz my right signal fused.

wat does it mean? the 2nd n 3rd figure..

 

i checked my fused bulb, it states 12v/21/60..

n the other side of my signal light (which is working) says 12v/18/5...

 

so which is the supposedly correct rating?

(the new ones i bot works aniway)

My version R when riding midway from SLE to TPE the temp LED lights up when I on the fan switch the red light disappeared. Anyone have any idea what went wrong. Is it have anything to do with the coolant system, does it means that is the radiator clogged? Do advise..
