Want to ask if headlight low beam does not turn on but high beam is fine.

Any recommended steps need to take note other than changing bulb.

First need to identify where the leak come from.

U might want to open up ur switch assembly and check if there any rust built up in ur switch connector? Which is preventing the current from flowing to ur low beam.

Try unscrew the inside connector and spray some wd-40 to it.

Follow by using a small piece of cloth to wipe the excess fluid.

Take off ur H4 bulb and check see if one of the filament is broken..likely, it is.

It could be wet oil residue if u oiled ur chain lately..if u did not..likely it's ur primary (front) gear shaft O-ring oil seal worn out liao..$8 or less to replaced (fast job).

I suggest u take off ur faulty voltmeter and spray some WD40 into ur ignition key hole and right hand starter switch assembly. When it comes to anything electrical fault..it's can be unpredictable. Electrical trouble shooting is time consuming and expensive.

Hi guys, i am wondering if u guys ever smell something weird coming from the exhaust when warming up. Is it normal for a revo? Advices pls...

[daft_invader]

Hi Guys...

 

First time posting here.... Need some advice....

I've only been riding my Spec 2 for a month plus. So far there were no problems til just now. I rode from Novena Square til woodlands. Stopped for around 20 mins then proceeded to Tuas... Upon reaching tuas went to a kopitiam to buy some drinks and my bike couldn't start.

Turn the ignition key on but there were no lights... Neutral light off, odometer and time also no display... tachometer and speedometer needles also didn't swipe at all... Waited for around 5 to 10 mins, turned the ignition key, lights were on...

Pressed the start button then all lights went off again... Didn't try push starting becos was late for work... So left the bike at pavement...

 

Is it a major problem or a matter of dead battery??

[LXY]

Should be battery flat due to faulty rectifer and/or coil.

Hmmmmm....not sure about that. If a motherboard is bad..it should be all gone bad but not partial. Anyway..I may be wrong..best u get a few other opinion from various reputable mototiam that handles S4. To me, it's still like a bad connection or a fault caused by poor wire condition (liek coppepr corrosion as in oxidation thus loading the current load supply). Whatever, keep us update and we all learn.

my meter the speed area no light

 

rpm there no problem

Right...depending on what model of S4. Non Vtec..two T5 and one T10 (bigger)...Vtec..both T10.
