I have changed magnet coil and battery but when i rev, the voltmeter shows the current as going down but when its idling it shows 13.8++

Anyone have the same problem? Riding spec 3. Mechanic says wiring harness but just wanted somebody else's opinion. Appreciate your help. Thx.

Tats normal..

 

It's the function of the Rectifier to Cut-Off the voltage as u rev the bike..

 

idling shud be ard 13.8-14.2(max) if your coil, rectifier, battery is strong/healthy

 

If the rectifier fails, your bike voltage would have hover over 15V n ect ( making your wiring harness/ electrical system burnt, which is not designed for)

S4 do not have tappets thus there is not tappet clearance or valves clearance in ref with it. This has been replace with "Cam follower" and the vavle clearance is determine by the "shims" thickness.

Hi guys.

 

[Q] How do you change an Air Filter on a CB400 Super Four Hyper VTEC 1st Gen?

 

I already have the air filter and the guys from local bike store don't want to install the filter without buying one from them.

I sorta know where the filter is located but I don't know what to take apart and how. A dummy guide is needed.

Thanks
