Check your chain tension for excessive slack and especially back wheel chain alignment marks for balance (the adjustment does run out by itself due to day to day hard riding and road bumps sometime). Tell tale sign is that the roller bearing of the chain is very shinning..meaning the chain is not "inline" with the back and front sporcket or rather more specific, the back wheel is slant liao.

 

Other than the above, front sporcket worn out liao but in most cases not..stick to the above explained.

ah pek

it was what i expected and more, so it was what you expected, the front bearing worn out needs to be replaced, chain and sprocket needs to be replaced.. all together $300..

For I, me & myself, what I do /get is...

 

- 3pt Crash bar from Lim Ah Boy (well known to be cheap)

- abt 3min warm up in the morning (if u smoke.. a cigg is just nice) , other then morning start up.. i warm up at least abt 30 sec b4 moving off.. let the engine oil flow thru n lubricate yr bike.. its like foreplay b4 sex..

- every 5000km change EO.. Spark plug n Oil filter every 10000km

- Original Honda Oil Filter (so far i haven come across bike shop will say theirs is chiong one)

- Coolent i haven change yet since i got my bike 2 yrs ago.. so no comments..

- motorshop service is up to individual.. depending u talking abt Gd technical skills or freebies like free drink..

 

For details of every item u asking.. best is do a search using the "Search" function in this forum.. lots of reading can be done bro.. see what has been discussed & u'll learn much more.. :cheeky:

..or could be your back sporcket and front is not properly aligned..check if your roller bearing link (chain) partially shinny..if it is, mean your back wheel slant out of angle liao (chain adjustment markers).

In short, your back wheel axle is off to left or right. :angel: Check your chain tensioner markers with the axle bolt's marker.see if they are in line.:sian:

so how coolant? what types of coolant should s4 use?

 

The normal green colour ethyl glycol(spelling) should be good enough. Unless you got xtra money to spend then go for engine ice or maxima. One more advice,if you need to topup your coolant with water,do use distilled water(available at cheers or 7-11)...
