[mfaisalby]

Hi all,

 

Would like to review on AhPek's Grounding on my Revo. Went to him for Grounding and changing of coolant (Im also using Ahpek's EO).

I felt the immediate engine power,acceleration,responsiveness change after grounding was done. 16 pts in total was grounded by AhPek. I would strongly encourage fellow riders to do so as you will really feel the difference and get a more enjoyable ride.

And thanks Ahpek for sharing so much technical knowledge about S4, even though i couldnt understand much. haha.

 

Yes bro.. i DO AGREE!! Haha. Actually its long time due for me to change my grounding wires/connectors cuz its rusty and old liao. So came across this forum entry and hence decide to try it out.

 

And the outcome out of my spec 1 is......... AWESOME!!! I'm not making this up but it just works! I'm really satisfied with the outcome. Anyway, Ah pek is one person who really knows his stuffs on bikes very well. Can see he puts in effort and passion into his workmanship - SUPERB!. After doing grounding... YES definitely the response is way better, BETTER than my current grounding. I felt there is much smoother acceleration, better throttle response, lesser vibration and quieter engine. YEAH YEAH!!!

 

Thanks pek for sharing your knowledge and time! Really appreciate it.... =)

 

PS: I'm not promoting anything here. Just sharing my happiness and satisfaction. For those who have tried, you know what i mean. Hehe. =)

I totally agree with you guys. After ah pek's grounding and eo change, i was shocked by how smooth my bike became.

felt super smooth even at high speed, really made me love my ride even more. hahahaha

thanks ah pek =D

frm wat i knw.. sparekeys mayb yes mayb no depends on shop. but wats impt u gotto make sure that your name has been cleared in their system. else if nxt time u wanna trnsfer ownership den will have problem cuz in LTA's record, ur bike is still under hire purchase n they cant do d transfer.

 

selling of bikes to shop or direct buyer is subjective. but bear in mind generally shops takes in bikes at a much lower price.

[fauzly10]

hey

 

thank you for your feedback. i am really unsure of the procedure as this is my first bike and thus am not familiar of such things.

 

so i just need to make sure that my name is out of thier system? just say if i do that and they acknowledge, is there a number i can call LTA so that they can confirm if i am out of thier system?

 

I dont want to be "cheated" in a way.

 

thank you very much

Hi guys really need help!!

I just changed my tire ball bearing etc.. But i dun think that's the problem. While riding back, my speed was around 100-110 @ 7-7.5rpm

suddenly my bike lost power, my full yoshi system's sound changed very deep sound, I come to a stop and the speed meter is still at 20kph

later stop around 2 mins at the red traffic light. All became normal again. What's the problem..? ):

[nando]

Anyone care to help? For the last 3 of my top ups in JB i realized that after top my fuel meter diesn't show the full 6 bars, instead only 5. Why ah? Im really worried, mileage remains the same though but not nice la to see after top up 5 bars only. Anyone else had this problem before & how did you solve it? And if repairs are needed, how much?

 

Thanks bros.

[Q] what is the differences between revo and spec 3?

 

I heard is about fc, slightly bigger in outlook?

And revo heats up fast? Revo's efi must take extra care?

 

Please enlighten as I have no one to ask for advices and am getting a s4 soon :/

[HaiR1]

Upppzzzzzzzz for AhPek's Grounding on my Spec3.. Went down to try his Grounding on my bike..

 

Immediate effect could be felt... No shyt man...

Is not just the no of point you have, its more on the way the laying of the routes is done and where to terminate them like what AhPek said..

He knows what he does..

To all, WORTH trying out his GROUNDING & he dnt even mind sharing his knowledge...

 

 

After all, he's just helping us to enjoy our ride more...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Huaaattttt Ahhhhhhh....!!!!!!

[azman ibrahim]

[firhanz87]

For the VTEC 1 and VTEC 2 that uses the spec 3 tail, can anyone recommend me any shop that dopes it nicely? I did it at a shop for $190 and the workmanship sucks. Went to another shop to redo, he talk as if his workmanship damn good, but it sucks as well. Paid $120 more for the workmanship. Pls recommend me a good shop. And the price as well. Cos my current tail board has many holes due to the two shop redo ing it and it looks awful. Want to redo all over again including the new tail. Thanks

[skully]

Bros, just got a spec 3. Is it true that this model heats up very fast? Just rode from one point to another about 25km and then when I stopped, I noticed that the fan is on. Is this a common thing for spec 3 or is there something that I have to check? Thanks!!
