Svc you carb and see what is needed to be changed. I.e. Float pin etc etc... And also check the float sensor. Its located under your tank. It it is rusty, need to change. Recommend UM...

 

Yup. mine carb svc at UM recently and chg the float pins too. good service and frenly. Good thing to mention is got credit card 0% payment if u spend more than 500. Too bad i don hv the recommended card/s.

i assume ur new s4 is revo? it came with a bt50? mine came with dunlop radial d402 and it dont feel like a good set of tyres. and reading some reviews online just confirms it. had a slide once on wet floor which confirms all the reviews that it has very fair performance when wet. any good tyres to recommend that are good in wet weather - i need my confidence back. also it seems like this dunlop d204 has been a very very old model. cant even find it on the catalog on dunlop website. very worrying...

survey around, isit very common for a vtec 1 to have a little rear braking power??

reason: i have change new brake pad, new pump kit but still feel very little braking power when i step the pedal. Do i have to service rear caliper + replace 2 pistons?

 

thanks in advance:)

It meant to be and design not to lock for the back wheel. If you still perfer to have that done..have to change to large unit.

[Q]i just bought a secondhand spec 1. i have a problem with it. it produces a high pitch chirping sound when on the move and as i go faster the chirping gets faster also. it doesn't make the sound when not moving. also i hear a knocking sound coming from the chain area. also during motion only. i planned to go back to the shop and ask them about it but i need to know if the bike is still safe for riding? thk you.

[hElleVer]

one qns.. izzit normal for spec 1 to encounter heat dissipating from the left side covers? the cover that covers our fuses?

[ezafiq]

[Q] Im riding a spec 2. Recently I've realised my handling isnt very stable at all. Just changed cone bearing 2 months back. When i check my fork I realised there some scratches at the right fork tube. Worst thing was its at the oil seal area so my guess is oil is leaking out slowly thus the imbalance fork. So I'm wondering if there anything that could be done other then buying new fork tube? If i was to buy a new tube, how much issit gonna cost?

[hafizjunior]

uppssss......

[pyro13]

A qn i have.. How do i know if d clutch housing is spoilt.. A fren of mine say d clutch housing gone. Wen i ride i hear like my chain and sprocket sumtg wrong.. Sound like sumtg turning roughly..

[ldslds]

Yes..do grounding, eo, x-1R, Nano, spark plus, coolant, eps..promise to pay from one date to another..now called him serveral answer phone "hello..hello"..pretend not to hear, then cut of phone..sms him to call oso never bother..pm him also never bother. Why can't he be honest and say he's broke..simple thing like that also cannot do..all this entering to end of 3rd month liao.

 

Somemore can spend $$$s on helmet, brake hose and blanja chick do Seol Garden. Let me see how long he's gonna hide.

 

He's having a LeoVince meeting and gathering at Seletar Dam on the 24th this month..likely would like to see him....heeee...x3!
