correct me if am wrong,there no such thing as handlebar ball bearing.i think it refering to steering cone bearing.I think for spec1 OEM bar it cost ard $80+ or less(cause spec3 OEM cost ard $80+ also).

 

I see...but I'm trying to fix this problem that i have for quite sometime, the handle bar vibrating very violently when moving at speeds 40 - 70 kph. its very very bad, when riding with one hand the handle bar vibrates very very violent. just imagine you turn your handle bar left, then ride, except that it is vibrating when moving at the above mentioned speeds instead.

 

It doesn't happen at higher speeds fortunately, but does any one encountered such problem before?

Do check ur font tyre bro.. Tyre pressure or could be ur wheel bearing.. Check ur rear as well

Hi bros,

 

Just recently found out that my bike is leaking near the side stand area....... not that much leakage, just a few droplets ....

Any idea where's the leakage from????

Thank guys...

Thanks for the reply. However I've just changed my front and rear wheel bearings, and front/rear tyre pressure: 250/280 ley. Hmm..my fork is not the original spec 1 fork as well. It looks like its from a spec 3 cause the seal is different. could that be the cause?

Hi everyone, sorry to ask a noob question. I'm riding a vtec 1, recently i realised that the faster i go, the lower my batt voltage will be. Eg, at rpm 4k, my voltage will be 12.4v, but at 5k and above rpm, my voltage fluctuates between 12.2-12.0v. And also while idling at traffic light, my voltage seems to be dropping at a gradual rate. Is it got to do with my magnetic coil and batt? Thanks alot

 

 

I see this as rectifier fault... I may be wrong... Heard from my friend he got a original rectifier at LAB at $40...

Hi guys.. i gt this prob wif my brake light... initially watch i press front brake tail light will turn brighter but not my rear foot brake... now worse, both front and rear brake when depress ,tail light remain unchange,nv brighten at all.. anyone knows wats wrong wif it???

ok,u see yur front brake,there will be 2 connector sticking out which is connected to a switch,thus once the lever is press it will come in contact with the switch.check the wire/connector is lose or not.as for the rear brake look behind yur right side footrest.u shld see it.If not yur brake light blow?

Thanks bro for ur advice. Another question, if i change the magnetic coil and batt, do i need to change the rectifier as well? Cuz i heard some of my friends say that we need to change the whole set, if not it will give problems to the bike. ???

hmmm, what do you mean by feeling weird? is it not supposed to go down and up like a spring?

[koxie]

ya..like jerking feel.or there's alot of friction.like very rough.

i guess so.casue if yur rectifier spoil will lead to a dead battery and will lead to a damage coil if u keep on cranking it while the battery is dead.i may be wrong

Thanks bro for ur advice. I just changed my rectifier and batt, wanted to change coil as well but alot of shops no stock. Sian man.

I would recommend you to go to a shop and diagnose the problem before you keep on changing things that aint faulty... waste $$ bro...

Anyway how much you bought the rectifier I might get one as spare... Heard s4 always spoil... Not sure abt vtec version but version s seems to be a common prob...

Hello,

 

I've just bought a Vtec 1,

 

Q: Even when the bike is off and locked, the display still displays a number, is this an error code?

 

Q: How do I set the time on the display?

 

Thanks
