Volt meter just got mine done at UniqueMotorsport at $55 plus fix... but someone said Ahboy selling it at $35...

[pyro13]

Had my mrgauge rectangle shaped voltmeter done at global.. Cost me 35 bux

[outspoken]

i think rabbit is also doing it..around 45 to 50 include installation..maybe can pm him....did some cosmetic DIY from him and was quite impress..

Any of u guys got problem with stray cats?...dun know y but recently got this white stray cat that just love my bike...already got my seat scratch and now wondering if it starts to pee at my bike...it keep sitting and sleeping on my seat for the past 3 days...

 

tinking of covering the bike but from previous experience...still got cat sleeping inside....enjoying somemore....

UPZ

 

How do u know the Vtec is open ? Most ppl say is around 6-7K RPM. With this, it question back how do u know ur Vtec is not working ?

 

Fyi, I hv hit 7K RPM not that spectacular leh.

 

 

Thanks alot

 

the sound and torque differences might not be very obvious if u are just slightly past the rpm which VTEC opens. Like what distordd said, open throttle at lower gears past 7k up to around 10k or more. confirm u will notice the sound is different from below 7k and the acceleration is very strong.

 

its not to say the bike suddenly can fly, but u will surely notice some difference, if not, maybe ur bike spoil. lol

[blackness]

oh... yea the internal diameter is smaller than the stock bar. how much and where did you get your motivation from? i dont rmb seeing it at unique.. yup renthal's internal doesnt have the screw threads.

 

i bought it at $55, 2ndhand from another forum user. maybe u can check with motovation directly.

go daiso look for those things that prevent cats. they got sell something like a spike to prevent cats. i saw a biker put on his bike before. if not another way is to tie a string from your seat then go underneath the footrest then back to the seat after you put bike cover. it work for me when i does that.

[outspoken]

Thanks bro...will look out for that spray in daiso....dun know whats wrong with that cat...ever since my wife gave birth last fri...he's started to smell around my bike and now enjoying my seat cum bike like its his........hmm...

[pyro13]

Or, u can jus put axe oil on ur seat..

 

Or vinegar

[outspoken]

axe oil/vinegar...alamak...later all my pants smell bad ah....but thanks for the advice

u need to adjust a flower knob. look at the red arrow in photo below, put your hand in till you can feel that flower shaped knob (you can see the knob if u bend low). feels like the head of a screw. turn it in the desired direction to increase or decrease idle. normally i start the engine till its warmed up and steady, then turn it and listen to change in speed, or look at the rpm meter.

 

beware of touching hot places, and dont attempt to adjust when bike is very hot.

[Royeight]

So its not the side stand side of the bike? Do i need a screw driver to do it?

Thank Q all.Wil try on low gear.

bros, few days ago i saw a thread regarding a bro repairing his spec 1 lcd meter displaying the fuel and mileage. Mine becoming blur and cannot see the fuel bar properly during nite time as i think its the hot sun causing it to become blur. Any idea where to repair n the cost? I cant find the old thread anymore

Nothing to check externally unless coolant is leaking out. Ur bike is hotter than it should be is likely due to partial clogs in the radiator with rust due to coolant mixes with tap water that causes rust. Flow is restricted because of rust build up over the times. Tap water should not be use but deionised or distilled instead. Motodiam don't bother mot of the time..for servicing when coolant not enough..tap water is added to filled the volume when one or two bottles is not enough to save cost. A well drained S4 coolant system requires about 1.8 to 2 litres full of premix coolant.

My speedo sensor is gone.. How much would it cost to get it replaced??

[Gorudonasaki]

Anyone wants to share the recommended idling rpm for vtec 1? Thanks.
