yeah, I want make it a little different, make it not so mainstream in the road . sure I will upload pictures after done later. I still fit that Triumph triple street head lamp on my super four. for change with Koso odometer not so difficult as long you understand the wiring of your motorcycle, I believe you can do it .

for that RX2N odometer on here almost $200 US Dollar.

 

Thanks you for your info for that link, I will try contact them and for Bagster tank cover some store can't make a shipping to my country, if yes that shipping postage really high. maybe I need go to Singapore for looking them .

 

and for your curious, I forget let you know if mine not spec3 but super four 1998, really ugly when I got it, that way I totally changed that parts. some I have change is:

 

for engine, I have bore up till 650cc, for wheels, I use Yamaha R6 front and real with 6" inches for real rim and 2,5" inches for front rim and tire 160/55 for real and 120/55 for front tire. and like I said before I use upside down from R6 too. swing arm use from vtec including real body. for odomoter use KOSO RX2N, head lamp from Triumph Triple street 2012, exhaust I use Termignoni carbon. and during fit that head lamp, I still made custom side radiator cover too from fiber, wish that will finished soon.

 

actually, I want looking another super four too for built another style, that is cafe racer style, seem that really nice style in this time.

 

I doing that all because I love modified my motorcycle, built a dream motorcycle is really so excited . I think you understand it what I mean .

wow, lucky for you that your bike doesn't have to go through inspection like singapore does yearly. with all the modification i'm sure my bike will never pass the inspection. all your modification seems too high level for me haha i only make minor changes mostly cosmetics. recently just did a major brake caliper clean up haha.

Hi guys, need help here regarding high coolant temperature indicator. It lights up once in a while when riding but i've check with my mechanic to troubleshoot the problem. Waterpump, thermostat, coolant hose & radiator fan still in working condition. Anyone knows what could be the problem? Could there be wiring problem/clogged radiator? Thanks.

[Q]

 

My 8th year Honda S4 VTEC III is experiencing these 3 issues:

 

1) Poor acceleration during moving off

2) Poor acceleration after making a corner

3) Rpm seems to fluctuate while stalling

 

I believe that it's due to one/two items that needs to be changed. Please please please advice.

[ngkt1992]

Hello , Ive got a few QN.

 

1) Does any of ur S4 get overheated easily ? i travelled from Tuas to Hougang then to JB . with 15mins stopping in between. End up my engine got overheated when i was in JB. Sigh.. after letting it to cool down , manage to start again.

2) i would like to change my Spec2 tailboard to Spec3 , any recommended places that is good and decent pricing ? Because ive heard my fren saying that going to vicom at khaki bukit can pass with changed tailboard.

3) when i do cornering at low speed, sometimes i feel that my frontwheel is controlling me.. i am not sure if there is smth wrong or issit coz im small size...

1) nope didnt overheat before even on hot day or going through the burning MCE-KPE tunnel.

 

2) i saw wing yap motor has carbon tailboard for spec3 but no idea on the quality/pricing. if you want to see standard pricing you can check unique motor website.

 

3) it is possible that your tyre pressure is too low. i had this problem previously then i found out that the petrol station air pump is not pumping to the pressure that it is shown

- Good to not mentioned which centre. By right you will fail. By left, your luck.

No point play Hide & Seek with LTA on the road

 

- Check tyre pressure

Wheel bearing

Fork

Hi all, today was riding as per norm then suddenly the engine light on the top left came on. Orange in colour. I stopped awhile and continued riding after. Shortly, the speedometer did not work, but the tachometer still is. I also noticed the idling went down to 1 instead of my norm which is 1.5. Anyone encountered this before? Much appreciate in advance for your inputs.
