Troubleshoot ur Super4!

[Sixer]

Hi guys,

 

I am having some problems with my ver s. Need some advice from you.

 

1) Cold engine will stall when idling. Starting the engine is easy but I have to maintain the throttle if not engine will stall. This always happen when the engine is cold (e.g. in the morning or when bike is parked a few hours). But the problem will go away once the engine has warm up. Idling rpm is 1k when engine fully warms up.

 

2) When I throttle my bike in neutral gear, I can see the green neutral light becomes brighter. Is it time to change my battery and rectifier?

 

3) I can hear some squeaky sound when pushing my bike and it is coming from the front. Time to change my steering cone?

 

 

Thanks

> Increase your idling speed a little.

> It shows that your bike is charging. Only when it doesnt become brighter, then should u be worried.

 

3) I can hear some squeaky sound when pushing my bike and it is coming from the front. Time to change my steering cone?

> Most prob your brake pads. Ask your mech to use the air-gun on it.

 

 

Thanks

Thanks william

 

But can elaborate why do i have to increase the idling a little more? As it used to be ok at this idling speed and why it would have a problem now? No tuning or whatever has be done to the carbs. Is it due to the wear and tear of other components like spark plugs? Cause eo, oil filter and air filter has been been serviced regularly.

 

Thanks again!

ur headlight bright doesn't mean ur batt is gd cause the headlight uses lesser voltage than the starter motor

Idling may "run" after a while... just increase a little and see what happens.

 

Many ppl like to put the idling speed at 1k or below when hot... Claims it saves them petrol and stop the bike from over heating...

 

From my experience, putting too low an idling speed may not produce smooth pickup and requires you to pull the choke or hold the throttle while warm up...

 

My idiling was always at 1.2k when hot... When cold, its about 1k.

 

If your bike is still diffecult to start when cold, other causes could be a dirty or un-syncronised carburators.

Hi all CB 400 Bros,

 

I have a question here.

 

Recently just change to a CB400 SPec II(4 Years old...but owner keep in very good condition).

 

Went to bike shop and was advise by mechanic to wash carburator and tuning.

 

THe problem is, after carburator washing and tuning, during the morning when i start my bike, there is a "grat grat" or sort of a knocking sound coming from the engine. This will go on till my engine warm up.

 

Mech says its clutch housing faulty. But b4 i wash carburator and tune, there is no "grat grat" sound whenever i start my bike in the morning or cold start.

 

Advise is greatly appreciated bros.

 

Thanks

[iqiem]

but before washing also got the same sound..

just that its softer than after washing the carb......

[OutLaw Rider]

Need helps here. I'm driving a S4 Vtec1. My headlight(both high and low) couldn't light up, instead, the blue color high beam indicator light up even if i switch to low. Don't think is the light bulb blown, suspect it is wire short circuit(kana water inside?) or the the problem with the switch. Can anyone help me on this?

 

Last night rode without headlight on KJE... sekali kana caught by TP.
