Urs vtec what? If vtec 3, need to press the 2 black buttons for a few sec and the time display will blink. Thats when u adjust ur time. If im not wrong, left button for hour, right button for mins. Then after adjusting, jus turn off your ignition.

my bike used to have this type of problem. stop at traffic light. then when want to move off, the bike like no power and want to die. off and on throttle then okie already.

 

went to bike shop, and my mech say is the overflow pin old already. is a small pin that stop the petrol to overflow at carb. which mean when my bike stop at traffic light to long, the petrol will start to overflow at the carb thus cause the bike to be like this. decided to change it at the cost of $15 per pin as i want to wash my carb.

 

however, if you don't want to change the pin, next time before you move off from traffic light just rev one time to clear the overflow. see whether it work for you.

Bro, $260: Clutch Springs Upgrade, changing of clutch plates included?

$95 : Changing of clutch plates alone?

 

Am I right to say that?

[gongon]

Tks for the help.

But i juz found out dat the time is not visible when i off my bike.

Normally it does.

Could it be a fuse problem? (where to but outside?)

Just wan to get info from u all..

Recently my s4 have tick tick sound from the engine. But bot sure from which part if the engine everytime I start the engine in the morning or when the engine is cold. But after a while I can't hear the sound anymore. Then if I stop the engine and restart the engine while the engine is still in cold condition I also won't hear the sound.. Is it normal? (for me is obviously abnormal coz last time don have this kind of weird sound)

erm, i ask my mech before about morning start bike got this sound. he say is because engine oil sink to the bottom, and need to pump up the engine oil around the engine. thus got the tick tick sound.

Hi, I am planning to buy a s4 for the first time and just need a few pointers on what to look out for. Or if there is a link to this, I would very much appreciate it.

 

The other thing is, I've been told somewhere that if the headers on a s4 becomes really white, from the initial black assuming it's a stock pipe. That the jetting is bad and the bike is running too lean or something like that. I just want to know how true this is.

And can you really tell a s4 from the rpm meter needle when you revv? I was told that it should be smooth and not wobbly or anything.

 

Those who are knowledgable with regards to this matter, please advice.

[xstorm]

Anyone knows where to get the replacement for the ringclip (not sure whats the actual name) that is used to secured the fuel hose ?

My header at the front also white. Whether its lean anot I dunno but I think mine is due to the fact that I sand and sprayed my headers bocs of rust and after awhile it will turn white again.

 

When you rev, the rpm needle reaction will depends on alot of factors. Spark plug age and make (heard denso fluctuate more than NGK but I using ngk R plugs also not very stable hahahhaha), whether the carb dirty, or out of sync like running too lean or rich and your carb got anything spoil.

 

See what others have to say too

[steel_headz]

Actually the headers can be prevented at first when u buy by applying AMEROL onto the headers...

 

I use it almost everyday n guess wat i manage to maintain the headers black in colour to about 95% for almost 2 years plus oredi...

Serious? Amerol is primer or rust convertor? Last time I applied pye then spray pj1 high temp paint but I found it to flake the paint. Now I sand, spray and I paint the pye over the rust to try. Dunno the outcome yet. Your 95% blackness is you nvr sand the headers before? Mine is sand the original paint and sprayed the pj1 high temp paint and turned white or maybe I skill lousy. hahahaha

Get hodaka lah. Lol!!!
