hi guys, recently i have posted this before, but like nobody seem to know the reason. but i really would like to check out does anyone know the standard size of S4 spec 3 spocket size? recently i had just change my spocket to vortex size 45 with conversion to 520 DID XRING, i clock with my fren and my speed was 95km/h and my fren speed was 85km/h. so there was a different of 10km/h.why izzit so?

"does anyone know the standard size of S4 spec 3 spocket size?"...teh answer is front 15..back 44.

Is this 'experientation' a CONSISTANCE thing or just a one time off tfinding? Are both bike exactly of same S4 model and items configuration (like tyres size, weight of rider, fuel grade wise, fuel tank level..etc.) being a constance beside your sprocket and chain size?

 

For all I know..your chain should be 525 and you had it change just to fit the sprocket you bought. Isn't that deviating from chain performance safety where 525 is recommended for its kind of power drive from the primary shaft? Expect wear and tear to be at a higher rate from what I can understand of your set up.

does wheel bearing affect ur front wheel turning

[at0m87]

To those that wants the Revo Manual.

 

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C7U9G6XG

 

maybe u can tell which one is for REVO..

 

no schematic thou cos its not a repair manual. if any have care to upload too.

[at0m87]

how much is a 3 point crash bar, i want to get one for my revo, quoted $50 from my bike shop wonder if it is expensive (i dunno if $50 includes installation forgot to ask) anyone knows if it comes in red or do i have to spray it myself?

does wheel bearing affect ur front wheel turning

 

Any parts or components that forms up or function together as an assembly would affect one another when one or more of them fails. In this case it does for the front assembly. As for front wheel turning if axle bearing is bad..yes it does depending on how sever the bearing damage is.

hi ah pek, thanks for ur reply. recently i change vortex size 45 with conversion to 520 DID XRING at unique motorsport, they told me is better for pick up. and ytd i did test with my fren riding spec3 same as me, we did ride consistance to see the speed. but indeed my speed was 95km/h and my fren riding beside me was 85km/h. This happen after i change my spocket. i wonder.

Hi Pohheng...I understand. You can get better pickup with any 45 or 46 teeth for the back with a 525 chain, not necessary only with a 520 chain conversion..or at all a Vortex brand sprocket. As long as the back ratio is larger. You too have to know that you will loose out at the top end long distance side (anything above 140km/hr or more) where "overdrive" comes in.

 

What is most important here is that your chain size at 520 is not rated for S4 standard use and the reliability is affected. The chain will stretch faster..etc..than the recommended 520. Its more a situation to me that UM has no choice but to use 520 just to use with the Vortex sproket. Anyway..if the chain is going bad..better change it before it snapped one day.

OMG, i just changed it at UM last week! i tot was really good. wat should i do now? haiz.

Just don't sudden crack too hard on the throttle as the torque of the S4 is no joke and great stress will be on the chain link segment. Since the chain joint segment are smaller and less stronger than that of a 525..just ride normal. Build up your speed gradually as you ride if you have to go fast..but you would never have top speed of a standard S4. One tooth stop is not so bad but you do get gears overdrive when you pull towards rpm redline..when you tarek.

 

Anyway..just use it normally lah. The chain would stretch sooner than usual anyway..and never change your chain without changing to the right sprocket teeth size (not count) type..meaning for 525 chain..otherwise, when there is excessively slack, it can jump off the sprocket.

okay, thanks ah pek for ur advise. deeply appreciate !

will worn out wheel bearing affect ur turning ??

Tot this has been answered a few post up already?...why you are asking again...
