[baojian1990]

hello all S4 rider =)

i am planning to get an S4,is there any ways to check for a second hand S4??

like those magnetic coil,recifier or thosee expensive stuffs??

[at0m87]

HEL!!!!!!! is e way to go...

 

i think i would go for HEL thanks guys. gonna change my brake pads to EBC too. alot of noise coming from my new OEM brake pad. they are like constantly in contact and makes alot of scratching noise..

rich leh.. you going change to ebc cos "your oem are like constantly in contact and makes alot of scratching noise?"

try to blow away the brake dust with air pressure gun first. if that works to remove the noise and your pocket is still feeling heavy, you can always sponsor me to change mine to braking.

ask 2 diff shops about the noise liao they say all OEM are like this very noisy.. they also said it is noisy cos it is the rough kind - which i suppose is good for braking since it is rough. but noisy... he told me if i dun want noise go for sbs..

 

then again EBC is much better than OEM that is for sure. but i used EBC for my kawa last time not noisy at all..

[Infernalwar]

Choose Goldfren...

[MrIce]

i feel that it not neccessary to use ebc so good one unless u going for track for daily usage those normal will do i am using those 20 dollar one still braking well

 

i feel that dun waste money on thing which u not gonna make full use of it, of cos it's up to u

 

most importantly nv let oil touch ur brake disc and pad if not braking will have trouble,

 

was washing my rim with some oil base thing then my pad tio oil after that not much braking effect due to the pad absorb the oil

[SparkerS1]

get better brake pads is better, better braking feel n stopping power.

budget then get those normal ones.

personal preference

[at0m87]

hmmm... ya same sentiments as sparkers1. tyres are what separates us from the ground and the brake pads are what stops us. in industries, everything are build with more than 100% tolerance no harm get the best brake pads. you wont know when you will need it.. i guess i will do the with EBS and HEL

Haiz...than just listen lor. I only soend $22 per set, no sound and the front wheel still can get lock when I slam...Fredo and Izumi is good enough for road rash uses.

[Infernalwar]

Thats right Ah Pek, Goldfren also good. Very few brake dust and sound.

[rockeuez]

i oso juz change my EO too.. haizzz!

previously and currently, wad grade/brand of EO u using?

[Infernalwar]

Previous: Normal EO service at bikeshop

Now: Ah Pek's own blend of EO + X1R (Shiok to the max!, 3rd gear I rev till rpm13!) Hehehe... I still think most probably it's the clutch plates lah... Thought of doing it at UM for $120.

u know ah pek eo grade? isit a necessary to add X1R? i scare it will become a addictive.

 

i previously using 15w50 no stone sound, now using 10w40 have sound liao.

um check my clutch plate and is common, nothing wrong! maybe is eo too thin liao. So if u go for a check, pls share with me what's wrong to your plates.

[pyro13]

If u change clutch plate, must change eo??

The grade i dunoe, but for sure the power diff is there! maybe you can ask him at non-vtec thread or PM him. Too thin? I dun think so lah... U checked your clutch plates? Must change EO too once open the cover?

 

If u change clutch plate, must change eo??

 

I dunoe bro, never change before leh...
