This would not do you good on your $$s on fuel and also not good for your bike. I consider it 'bad'. Your engine is gonna get hot..so hot that before evapourised fuel mist and air mixture gets to your combustion chamber..they get half dried up in your intake.

 

The bike water cooling is not enough and so are the cooling fins of your engine. Worst in a hot day ride and traffic start/stop situation. You are 'burning' up fuel for nothing. You may be considered 'dragging' the load than riding with the ride power to pull you in momentant for those extra roll for distance. Your change in rpm range is never close to the power band of your bike and slowing down into engine braking makes it all the worst...so it is 'dragging' and each time you throttle on again, its a load and excess fuel is burned out unproductively.

 

Do consider giving a faster ride and use vtec range or at least over the 5.5 to 7.5k rpm range for a change and get the forward trust of wind from your speed to cool the radiation tubing and engine fins effieciently..see if there is a change in Fc. Your air filter intake also need rush air..changing to a K&N would not help either if you ride that that rate.

 

There can be many other factors that ahve to be consider before spending $$$s on tunning and part replacement like tire pressure and conditions, clutch adjustment and so on.

 

Not sure about your routes of ride..but when there is opportunity..do that.

 

Also..you need "liquid engineering" for that little xtra...heeee...x2!

 

that's something new to learn for us, thanks ah_pek, i am in same position like edition, that we have upgraded from phantom, so ride s4 like phantom i guess hehehe

ride slow, slow and burning fuel for nothing

i still recall when i first got my s4. reving 5k rpm and above is like squeezeing the s**t out of the engine... u will get use to it as u ride ur s4 after some time. enjoy the rev...

You guys might consider a beeping alarm system telling you that your battery is operating under 12v dc. Save you from frowning at a voltmeter that is build for internal use rather.

ah pek is back in the house!!!

 

tats wat i'm having now. a voltmeter tat can beep when its below 11.5volts but now its internally wet and soaked lor...

 

my personal point of view... the beeping is annoying...

[s4vtec]
