nope if the previous owner has not register, you do not need to transfer ownership( cos LTA no record )

Should be the same at least with spec 2 and 3. If you want those black after market ones quite ex for brands like AGV. There are cheap knock-offs of course.

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

Hi guy,

I have problem with my vtec 3, sometimes when traveling between 5k-6k rpm, my speedo needle will go back to zero and hang there for sometime and experienced a slight loss of speed. After a while, the needle will goback to speed I'm traveling at. Any one have any ideal what wrong with my bike? Thk.

The user manual that came with the bike will have the list.

 

The thing is if you follow that list to the letter it's going to cost you.

Hello fellow S4 riders,

 

Need to check if anybody got install a master switch which is connected directly to the battery to on and off the bike. The reason i am talking about this is because some how my bike wiring is a little screwed up and the battery power drains within 1 n half day after riding for 30-45 minutes. The battery is the normal one which is $60 i bought ... btw it is brand new .. and i change it twice within 6 months. So i cant blame the battery.. and my charging is 14 + if go over i think 5k rpm it is stable to 14 v. so charging is good =)

 

If you guyz ever install the master switch .. Can please recommand me the shop you did =).

 

oh and the price too =)

 

Regards:)

hi guys.... bought a PB1 recently but use for one day and had catastrophic engine failure. Conrod broken.

 

long story short:

 

- Exhaust was stuck with carbon

- Brought to 2nd link to whack it out

- Conrod give way.

 

Questions:

1. Any more new PB1 conrod in production (most probably no). If no which version conrod is compatible with PB1??

2. Advisable to cut open the pipe and header to decarbonize? Because now not sure whether its the front or back kana stuck. Where to do it? (Please don't tell me Seng Kwang.... lol).

The closest u can get at is from Ver R or S. They are very much the same or in fact the same used. No point replacing a new unit..but its better to get a scrape or useable set of 4 in order to keep all in balance..anyway, no harm just replacing with a new one. There are lot more than just the con rod in ur situation..have to thing of other damages insie..like crunching pins, bearing and piston.

Thank you ah pek. Opened up already. pistons all ok. block ok. Thank goodness. Just the 3rd piston conrod broken. heard that its a legend that when old s4s spoil its always the 3rd and 4th piston more prone to damage. Why?

[Ah Pek]

Can you advice bros here how much do you spent by changing the starter carbon ?

 

No need to knock or push start but...sit on bike, on ignition, clutch in and shift into 2nd gear..reserve two thre step backward fast and left clutch quickly. Once u hear a whinning sound..clutch in and shift back to netural..and start the bike. U can live like that for as long as 3 months...ha...x3!

Likely its where the eo populated least..having inefficient and substandard eo oso causes hard wearing fast.

sadly.. spec 1 cannot install main stand. there's no bracket on d chassis fr a mainstand.

 

as fr a portable stand. there's a CMO in d mass order section. called it Easy stand. might wanna take a

look.
