either ur radiator is leaking or its jus some water evapourating aft u've went over some water paddles

[pyro13]

mine had the same problem.. apparently my prob was my coolont cap.. as the coolant has to be under pressure to circulate properly.. if the cap is spoilt, there will be no pressure thus water comes out..and the water is brown in colour as its mixed wit ur coolant

[Blurin]

hmm thz guys, will double check again!

It should not be much of a problem.

 

You mentioned that you just flushed your coolant. Most prob the mech topped up a little too much into your coolant reserve reservoir (expansion tank) and the excess overflowed through the little pipe connected to it.

any1 encounted ...tick tick tick" sound coming continuously from engine compartment. . it that serious?

u just need to straighten your bike when letting it warm up.... after a awhile when the EO flow back to the right engine compartment it will be alright.

 

you might wanna check that sufficient EO is in your engine with ur mechanic...

 

if u don warm up staright away wack the bike then God bless....

I wonder anyone have problems with their Super4 Coolant. The Reservoir of the coolant keeps boiling and overflow after riding. resulting in the reservoir drying up..

 

I did went to one of the bike shop in Eunos call "Ever......." One the the Machanic "over-quote" me and didnt even solved my problem with the Coolant, yet still charging me a premium for his workmanship. If anyone of your ever been there or those never, I suggest you dun patronise this shop.

 

Btw, this is one incident and last if i ever want to encounter with this shop.

 

And anyone can help with this issue? any shop to recommend? What is the problem behind this Coolant problem? can anyone please help?

 

We are the riders and the consumers.. we dun want our bikes to lay on the hands of those trying to "Skin Us".

 

We must help to introduce to those good mechanic and shop where they deserved the earning!! And oso we know the job is well done on our bikes.

 

Thanks all for reading through and please contribute to this thread.

 

thank you!!

Should be coolant pressure cap spoil liao, cannot hold the pressure, hence boil over. If that's the problem, it's a cheap fix. For Eunos area, recommend AHM Performance at block 1063. Ah Hong (boss) is a young chap who has quite a fanbase because of his no nonsense fast working attitude.

[thomastan78]

any other reasons besides the coolant cap problem?

 

thanks...

[pyro13]

gasket spoil, coolant dry up...

[thomastan78]

Alright Guys... I FOUND THE ANSWER!!

 

I read ANR IMPEX solution.. then i also went to Planet Motor to look for Ah Chong(Boss of the shop) for solution.

 

Here it goes.... If your Coolant Reservoir Boils, most likely its the radiator's CAP that is the problem.

 

Reason: The rubber is old and the spring is weak and did not seal the radiator tight thus when the radiator is under extreme heat, air is sucked in. However, when the engine is slightly cooled, the air tries to escape but the only way now is through the reservoir. thus pushing the coolant in the reservoir out by the tubing/overflow. Eventually drying up the coolant reservoir.

 

Hope my solution and reasoning can help those who faced the same problem.

[thomastan78]

Thanks ANR IMPEX for your kind gesture..

 

The Solution is really changing the "radiator cap".

 

However must get the "Original Honda Super 4 CAP" made in JAPAN.

 

I recommend people going to Planet Motorcycle at Ubi Blk 3007 for their super 4 maintainence.

 

However, i myself BLACK LIST the shop in EUNOS call "EVERBR......"

 

They know nuts about super4. all they know is to tell u must open / top overhaul your engine which might cost $500+

 

Be wary of those who tell you that you need to overhaul your super4 unless you had an accident. If not, consult a few other shop before committing yourself to overhaul the ENGINE.

 

Super4 got fantastic engine build to last. Not necessary for any casket replacement within years..

 

So guys.. know where to repair your bikes n not put your pockets into another "BLACK" shop's pocket!!!

 

BEWARE!!!

[pyro13]

well, how much did they charge u for d coolant change at ever................brig......... i sevice my bike ter.. sh*t.. mus go servocing liao!!!

[nsrboy]

hi guys! may i know when is the right time to flush coolant and what does it do? thanks!
