The leakage will cause the coolent not reaching the top block thus may cause overheat that lead to the piston melting and stick to the cyclinder, subsequently your whole engine will need to be replace and that really cost big buck. Get it replace soon if you wanna repair it, if not sell it off will be a better option.

Hey super4 bros,s4 newbiehere, recently i heard a knocking sound from my engine, no matter i clutch in or out i still can hear that knocking sound. To explain further, i travel a couple of distance and stop at the traffic light and listen again the sound is still there. Just did my servicing, engine oil and filter changed. Really cant figure out what could have cost it. Need help from experts out there thanx alot.

Dear SP4 Brothers & Sisters,

 

A very belated Merry X-mas, Happy New Year, Selamat Hari Raya Haji and Happy Chinese New Year to my fellow chinese friends. I've been away from this forum for almost 2 months as my laptop is down. I'm finally back now.

 

Btw, I have some issues. Im riding Spec III and recently having some bad vibration when riding at 90km/hr. The vibration is so bad that at that speed my pillion feet can get numb from the pillion footrest being vibrating too much.

 

Can someone please assist me on this?

 

Appreciate your help.

 

Thank you

(PS- My bike is 5 mths old)

the sound is back again.... sanding it only helps a while till it become smooth again due to the rubbing with the disc when i brake... hmm... should i try sanding the disc???

dnt sand ur disc, it'll make the disc uneven, thus needing to replace it.

 

reason for the sound is tht ur disc is prob old liao, i assume urs is vr S judging from the pic. jus bare with it, no rpob one as long as it doesn't affect ur braking

if front wheel difficult to turn by manually, what could be the prb?

Could be the brake caliper or the fnt fork tighten too close to the wheel axle that restraint the turning.

 

As for the meter reading, did u change the sprocket size as tis will oso affect. Else go for calibration.

will it be petrol overflow or what? not so sure oso.. but best is if by now still not powerful then better bring to some bikeshop to c b4 the big problem arise...

 

btw.. wana ask... today when starting my bike.. the engine started.. but immediately the RPM drop to 0 and the engine die off... this continue for a few time... maybe up to 7time... what could be the problem? in the end.. i solved this problem by trottle the bike once it start to 5rpm... n maintain for a while b4 letting go to let it warm up... i nv experience this problem b4.. anyway.. i juz got this bike for one month only..

 

issiz becoz of the spark plug needed to be change lioa? because i doubt the stupid motorshop got change the plug for me.. as they claim that they change the engine oil already.. but in the end.. they nv.. but still die die say they changed.....
