Your starter carbon going to finish go change... If really finish you still got 1 more option to push start...

 

confirm it's starter carbon or could it be ignition fuse issue?

[Q]

 

How do you guys send ur bike to vehicle inspection without the rear fender or rear hugger ie, like the norm you see s4 on the road with the number plate that is placed jus under the sharp tail??

 

What i know of , inspection can't be passed and i surveyed at bike shops , they will send for you but $18 inspection fee + $50 workmanship(do everythg swee2 to pass inspection)..but that is too ex ..Any of you know which shop charge less or any suggestions?

[grazryan]

guys, my spec 1's fuel and km digital display is malfunctioning. it wont display anything.

can this still b fixed? its so expensive to buy a new instrumental gauge

[slownsteady]

Hid kit come with bulb,ballast,wire harness.as for hid bulb meaning just the bulb itself.ppl who get the hid bulb only meaning he already have the ballast.as for the brightness it go by K.from 4300K up all the way to 15000K.6000K is the brightest.As the K go higher you sacarfice your white light for other.

 

thanks bro for ur reply!

I just went back to e shop this morning, another mech took a look but he mention that e chain was abit loose and my rear disc was also bended in which also adds to the noise which i mentioned(another mech also did mention to e previously that the disc was bended in already).

 

so he did tighten e chain,so i did a test ride this time, it didnt feel so noisy as before..but the noise is still there..he ensure me that the alightment was done properly n all...

 

i guess i just gotta live with it..
