Can use 15A to replace 10A but not recommended.

 

coz my fuse blow and i only have a spare 15A fuse..

 

You could visit any motor shop to buy fuses. Worst case scenario, Autobacs. Coz I know they are open today.

Please do your Electrical calculation on how much Amp you need for your devices. Every equipment will come with a "stamp" on the device or manual to say how much it draws out. It is not that difficult actually. Re-wiring might help. From what I can deduce, are you tapping your horn's power for the neutral light? It is best if you could rewire and add an additional fuse just for the horns.

[steel_headz]

Sure, too bad it happened on the first day of CNY!! What a thing to start the "new year".

 

Anyone knows what's the worst case scenario?

Not the whole electrical system of coz that would take weeks. For instance, you install a horn which is of a higher rating then the current one. You could use a relay and tap the power for the horns from the battery. Make sure there is a fuse between the horn and the battery.

my friend s4 spec 2 has got a pop pop sound while riding,any guys has any idea what might be the cause?its only on certain gear..

[gene98]

worst case scenario u won't want to know.. better solve it soon..

[Pplater]

worst case senarios?

 

1. Its the EO leaking. U ride around with insufficient EO and the engine block kaput. U can overhaul. Monitor the EO light on ur dashboard.

 

2. Its coolant. U ride around with the bike overheating. Engine block also can kaput. Check your coolant reservoir now. Refer to manual whcih can be downloaded on sbf.

 

3. Its someone else leaving residue behind-U scared yourself for nothing.

 

Did I miss anything out?

[dannyspider]

so can use but not recommended thanks for the info

[Chaoz]

what kind of pop pop sound? comes from where de? does the pop pop sound come from exhaust? when the rpm drops when you close throttle after high rev?

[Chaoz]

Just went to pump my tyres pressure but to no avail.

 

Was riding SP and it was only a single disc brake and pro arm so it's easy to pump with the long stick.

 

Now S4 has double disc brake and no pro arm, and the stick to pump the pressure is kinda long. I couldn't put the whole stick in.

 

Anyone can help this n00b here?? Thanks!

 

go caltex.. i know some of the caltex air pump doesn't use the long stick.. juz a small connector with a fastener only.. duno whether it applies to all caltex

[freeze18]

yah! my spec 2 also riding got some kind of tick tick and pop pop sound around below fuel tank.. when road bumpy the sound will have 3-5 times pop pop sound

[IvikaRazI]

Maybe the bike hiccups...hehehe...Anyway I think the Air-Fuel ratio maybe too rich. Causing unburned fuel to burn at unknown places. Its a guess for me only dun flame hor.

 

Tuning the carbs will help to stabilize matter. Do correct me (if I am wrong) or add-on.

U said u just bought it..... So y not go to the bike shop again n check wif them......

 

M i rite?

 

Nope you're wrong. I got it from this forums and the shop I always go to is closed for CNY...

So in any case the light on the dashboard will light up before anything serious gets coming right?

 

Anyway, took some pictures this afternoon. This is what I get after parking the bike for 2 - 3 hours. It looks kinda brownish + blackish + a little greenish if I'm not wrong.
