Hi SuperPig4, I think from what you state the problems that happened with your Ver S, the most appropriate way of doing is to sell off the bike, cos consider the pricing to repair and the market value for Ver S, it is not worth to repair.

 

Hope my suggestion do help you. Smile, me riding Ver S too.

Need everyone's advice.

 

When starting the engine in cold state, ie. morning, can hear some mechanical noise coming from engine. Sounds like chain knocking something. But when bike is warmed up, the sound goes off.

 

What could be wrong? I am riding a Vtec 1

It could be d timing or tension chain which caused d problem. I have this problem b4 but on my CBR929 last time, just change it n it will be okay.....

[kata_killer]

Just being curious, I'm having this problem, is it normal?

 

BTW, I'm riding a spec 3, dunno anything abt S4. When I put my key on on it, both meter will go n turn full round n back. D problem is, my RMp meter goes up till 4-8RMp will be very slow, then go fast again. Is it normal? Do u guys know wat i mean?

 

but when they return back on d meter, it will be very normal.... Tat is b4 I start d bike huh.

 

Can anyone help me?

[Guest quizesilver]

the vibration is it at only a certain RPM? cause it might jus be the verge of ur valves opening or closing. its quite normal to have such vibration if thts the case

Hey thanks for ur reply redname..ya it normally starts ard 100km/h n i will start to feel these vibrations on my right leg peg after travelling 100km/h for maybe say 15mins. Bike doesnt feel like it used to be. Last time feel smooth. Right leg peg onli slight vibrations. Just change my tyres n bearings at HKL. Ask e mech abt e vibrations..he juz rev my bike n say nothing wrong and e vibrations are caused by tyres n bearings.

 

Any ideas to reduce these vibrations? Or issit normal? Thanks once again!

[Guest quizesilver]

mine spec 3 did 350-360 then to reserve. before was 320 once hit 400 with full tank

vtec on once in awhile in sg.

 

dun advise on hard run in. further more the hard run in u are saying dun seem rite.

it is a few session of high rpm then low rpm then high again at different gear nt abt high speed.

meaning u use gear 1 wack till 8-10 rpm then 4-6 then gear 2 also...

mine i only wack till top is after 2000km. doing the normal slow run in.

can maintain 190km/h

[Legan]

Anyone experience the same thing?

 

When start in morning, there is a knocking sound. But when clutch in, the sound is gone. Anyone knows the answer to this mystery?

hey guys juz wanna share wif u something since i think this is the most appropriate place... 2 days ago i was at filter lane out of TPE to tampines ave 10... dropped gear sekali my gear foot lever really dropped sia hhahhaa... knn stop bike in 5th gear but luckily saw the assembly with the gear shift still attached.

 

walked up the whole filter lane but couldnt fine the missing screw part. it has an allen key about size 6 but a very big head. so lanlan must do some mcgyver work lor. took the screw at the tank there that secures it to the frame. while it did fit the thread... there wasnt much clearance.

 

before i moved off i recceed again and luckily found it and fixed it back. guys pls remember to do periodic tightening at that area! heh lucky never fall off at expressway or NSH.
