is normally is to wash n tune back to the correct position...eg piston shoing a same level...the cost is abt 60-80 depend on which shop u go...n oso if ur part inside spoil, it will be extra charge...

 

by right s4 no need to tune carb so freq

[eement]

Yap..that's correct. There is a bleeder hole in the tank cap that leads to a small air bleeder tubing under the tank. There is a bigger one but that's for overfilled petrol to flow out.

 

Once the air bleeder hole is clogged with dirt or other foreign objects..or the tube under the tank get kink while putting back the fuel tank, petrol flow consistancy is obstructed...just like sucking a half boiled egg without another hole on top for pressure to pust stuff down.

 

oic...learnt an ex lesson liao...haha...tanks for the advise...

 

at least now i can ride with confident of not scare that bike will break down

[ShiftingGears]

is carburoter is the cause of the slow response? hmmm feels abit lagging.... thats y thinking of servicing that...

[PHILIP79]

I exprience some problems on Spec I. Pls help me out and advise me as I a newbie in Super 4...

1) When riding at 3 or 4rpm, there is like a crackin metal sound from the engine. However when it reach rpm 5 then the sound is gone.

2) When pumping petrol, can we top up to the top rim of the oil cap or just at the inner rim of the oil cap( there is like 3 or 4 pieces of metal forming like a circle about length of 1 finger depth from the oil cap)?

3) I traceling about 150km but the meter show full tank and when parking the bike it show half tank. I open the oil cap and did not see amy petrol. Is this normal.

4) My bike is fitted with 2 points engine guard. Is it better to fix with 3 point or just install sliders on both the tyre?

My rear s4 nissin brake caliper is missing the "clip" that supports the brake pads and prevent it from getting loose/moving after long term braking.

 

Where can i get just this "clip" only? Any shop that sells spare parts for nissin calipers?

 

I wouldnt wanna get a new set of caliper cuz its too exp and my caliper is still working fine.
