hi i am selling my spacer.

You're not selling a spacer. Your's is a raiser.

 

A spacer basically increases the preload of your shocks while a spacer does nothing except to extend the length of your shocks, which could prove hazardous.

 

This is a spacer.> a metal ring inserted into your shocks to increase the preload.

Let me know if you need one.

Hi fella S4ers,

 

Having EO leak on the left side of my tec1, somewhere around the front small sprocket and side stand.

 

-Wondering wat the problem could be? Due to clutch plate, cos my tech said I might need to change my clutch plate liao..

-How much will it cost to repair? (Any lobangs for recommendations)

 

Hope can get some good advices here from experienced S4ers..

 

Thanks-A-Million..

It could be your front sprocket shaft oil seal.

 

Get the area cleaned up and ride a few more days to confirm.

 

Dont think clutch plates will cause oil to leak. Moreover, the plates are on your right side.

:weep:

if you suddenly blip your throttle without clutching in, the crak crak sound you;re hearing is most prob your clutch basket. Do it too often, and you'll be replacing it soon.

 

try this, clutch in and do the same thing, you most prob wont hear it.

[cheng0605]

thx!! so its normal.......guess i'm worrying too much

 

but if that thing spoil hw much wll it cost to change??

hi allz..

 

I just got my spec 2, 3 yrs old and i'm facing 2 problems here.

 

1) when travelling and my RPM hits about 5200 - 5300, the bike will start jerking but once its over 5300, it becomes normal. I ask the bike shop, the tech says its normal.

 

2) this is more serious.. almost every other time my bike starts moving, the RPM will drop 1st before increasing. Even if its in neutral, this oso happens. Its affecting the pickup and I have to revv the bike afew times before moving. Went to the bike shop 3 times but they still cannot solve.

 

Any experts can help??

 

:cry:

Seems like your carb tuning is off or some of the jets may not be functioning optimally. I suggest you go to a good dedicated service shop, to name a few: Planet, Bikeworkz, KnT, Ubi Cycle, Racewerks etc.

8rpm? thts weird, normally shld be ard 5.5 cause thts when the valves r about to open but 8 is a bit too much, has ur valve open timing been set b4?

every engine has valves, if not how the fuel gng to combust. anyway, i really tink it might be possible ur tht ur valve opening timing has been set to later in order to save fuel but it also depends on wat type of vibration u r toking about cause i might b mistaken of the typ of vibration

hahah. okie.. bike-idiot i am..

 

anyway, my max is 120km/h til now. i dun dare go beyond that... cos the vibration's quite bad..

 

hmm..think i'll check it out at the next bike svcing... Thanks for ur help.

You can always go for a second opinion. Planet and Ubi cycle is along the same stretch. Needles do wear out but I believe there are spares available for common models like super4. No spares also have 2nd hand parts.

Might try planet next..

for vtec 2, that is abt there when u vtec abt to opens. thus it jerk abit. also partly due to the tuning of the carb. if u go for dyno. ur graph will show a big dip there this is cause by the wrong air/fuel mixture.

 

2) this is more serious.. almost every other time my bike starts moving, the RPM will drop 1st before increasing. Even if its in neutral, this oso happens. Its affecting the pickup and I have to revv the bike afew times before moving. Went to the bike shop 3 times but they still cannot solve.

 

try adjusting your idle abit higher. it will solve the prob. it is due to when u release ur clutch without throttle. ( you can do it stationary, when u release clutch the bike will move base of the suction of the fuel, thus the idle will drop only goes up when u throttle. ) you need to adjust your free play of the clutch and better your skill of changing clutch.

 

Any experts can help??

i'm no expert

i am nt sure how ur bike is tune.

or do you know the meaning of tune.

however, for version s like any version s, if i am nt wrong. the valves opens at abt that range that is why alot of ppl say version s have the best fc due to the late opening of the valve. it is like our vtec when it opens there are more vibration.

nope, version S might open valve later but not so late until 8K

i see..

 

as far as i know, i told the mech to get it retuned when i got the bike from the previous owner. i wasn't arnd to ensure that he did it with all the digital tuner and all..
