hi all

 

Izzit okay for me to use a size 7 battery instead of a size 9 for my super four?

 

Is it ok for a guy with waist 29 wearing a size 27 underwear?

 

No lah.

Original is ytx9-bs

12v

You need a minimum power to crank the bike.

I using Yuasa YTZ-12S for my spec3 since the size is just very slightly bigger than YTZ-10S

 

 

Up to individual tho..

Try loosening the upper and lower front fork clamp bolts (size 14)..then sit on your bike and straighten the front wheel (make sure tyre is pointing staright in lne) using your handle (make sure u hand hold ur handle equally). If there is any sign of misalignment of the handle bar and tryes..twitch the fron't tyre in line to match..than tighten all fork clamp bolts again..make sure it's tight but not over tighten. Good luck.

 

Hello Ah Pek, Thank you for the reply. I have one thing to add, if I do a full fork service, I was able to ride straight and I don't feel it is slanting onto the right side.

Block area? More info..?

 

Not a common prob as I know

 

bikeshop told me that the water might have seep into the block..

they change the block gasket & seals, flush coolant, radiator got damage, coolant hose spoil, labour...

Hi guys, i'm riding a Spec2 and would like ask if anyone have had experienced the following,

 

1) Batt is brand new. Rectifier is brand new. When riding, can see voltage fluctuating from 11.8v to 13.1v on voltmeter so i assume should be charging but as each day pass by, i see voltage on the voltmeter seems to be depleting at idle voltage around 11.8v to 10.8v. I use multimeter to check...voltage is around 12v. What could be the problem?

 

2) Whenever i depress brake, the idle drops really low. Sometimes feels like it's going to stall. Any ideas what could be the issue?

 

3) Any ideas where could be the leak?

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

 

 

 

(1)

New battery been charged before install?

New Rectifier is Ori Honda parts?

What about your Magneto Coil? What's the condition ?

This 3 item go hand in hand.

Use multi meter n check on idle.

Dnt trust voltmeter as it May not be accurate

If there is, it shud be tap frm battery not elsewhere as it may not show your battery voltage.

 

(2)

Check/ Synchronise your carb, else maybe something gotta do with your carb,

I can reccomend someone on this

 

(3)

Leak depends on where it is..

If not engine oil, it May be coolant.

Trace the source close up to confirm

[MaverickRD]

Evening guys,

Any idea if theres any bike shop open tml?

My friend revo might be leaking oil n coolent plus its idleing is nt consistant.

Thx...

Would converting a normal super4 to a cafe racer be an easy project?

 

How much would it roughly cost and where can I do it?

Hi all

 

my spec 1 when in gear, cant start even when i clutch in, normal?

 

If your stand is down, you can't start the engine.

[freebird]

I recently found out there dots of black liquid on the floor below my bike. Something is leaking but i can't pin point where the leak is from. Anyone experienced this before? And how much is the damage?

 

Might be coolant leaking too.

My stand aint down

 

When i stall, clutch in first gear cant start engine

 

Got an issue today, found some liquid leaking from the radiator hose in front, already tried tightening the philip screw clam, will monitor

 

Pray hard

[Cb4sfour]

How often do you guys to up your coolant? It seems that my cb400 drink alot.
