Hi Bros, Need a help here.

Recently my Spec3 having problem during riding, then suddenly speedometer drops to zero and same time loss of engine power difficult to rev over 5k rpm. It lasts for a few seconds and return back normal. This happens starting last week like few time in a day.

At first I tought it was speedometer cable loose, but it don't explains the loss of engine power. Any idea whats happening?

Try check your battery wire. Isit loose? Cause mine also was the same situation. At first my mechanic check my fuse everything n it was okay. And found out my black wire to my battery was loose

the servicing depends on what brand of engine oil you want to change it can vary alot. also depends on what is called normal servicing. a 'full' servicing includes engine oil + oil filter + spark plug. so we can't really give you a price. you can check around the forum under the advertiser section for servicing package.

 

the price does not differ from models unless you are skeptical about the 0.2L difference during engine oil filter change.

Hi bro,

Found out could be the vtec sensor is faulty and got it replaced, now still in process of testing and so far no prob.

Thanks for the info too.

icic, roughly how often u service ur s4?

 

and does s4 requires washing of carb for the carb models?

yes carb need to be washed.

"It somehows redirects the unused voltage back to the battery itself"...it does not do that. What it does is provide proper and efficient electrical loading to ur bike for performance wise..that's better power cranking during start and better sparking when ur magneto coil does not provide when at higher RPM for older bikes or car. All this works well if ur bike body resistance is low and can be done by doing proper grounding.

 

It does help extend battery life to a certain extend like 2 or so months more provided ur bike has good proper grounding..especially older bikes. his item has been called by many names like voltage stabilser, impedance stabilizer etc..by their manufacturer but in fact, it's actually a CCA booster unit (Cold Cranking Current - represent by "A" for amperes as in current). Basically they are made of assembly of "Super Capacitor"..and the better ones are the one that stores more current up to max of ur battery CCA itself.

 

Ah pek check with you.

I just got my bike VerS and during cold start there is this tick tick sound on the right side of the bike. Once the bike is heated up, there is no more tick tick sound. Any idea what went wrong?

 

Could it be sparkplug or CDI?

i bring my bike for servicing every 5-7k mileage depending on the engine oil i'm using. yes requires washing as mentioned by jayz.

Hi all here. Need some advise on super4 versionS model.

Recently I bought a s4 verS. Everything is good. Changed the necessary wear and tear parts. However, was quite curious about the choke lever setting on the left handlebar side.

1. What does the Hi and Lo indicator means?

 

2. The thing is to start the bike at all conditions, choke must be set to Hi.

Hi mode: normal bike idling at ard 1000rpm. Bike start normally with little twist of throttle. But when I turn to,

Lo mode: bike rpm drops to zero. And bike dies instantly. Even when the bike had been warm up. At Lo mode, bike just won't start. Battery has been change new.

 

So I will need to keep the choke at Hi to start and travel ard. But rpm is normal at 1000.

So is it normal? or did the previous owner modify or bypass the manual choke or something?

 

Please advise.

When u turn on the bike ignition, is there any light? Headlight, neutral, and when u press the start button, got cranking sound? Did u try to push start the bike?

 

Pls give more details of your problem

Hi there. Yes all the lights are normal. Everything is normal except when i press the electris start. No crankings. Its like the button is useless. No sound at all

[vitalidol]

Unsettle, please check if ur bike is in gear, always press the clutch to start your bike that way u r sure it is not in gear.

To get an idea about the cost, Browse tru the Advertiser board thread to see their "servicing package" by Various bike shop

 

All depends on the quality of the item/ the shop u went/ the brand n ect

 

Too many to pinpoint out to you ..
