DONT GO TO THIS BIKE SHOP!

 

Hey bros & sis,this is what happened...

 

One month ago,i noticed 'sound' coming out from my engine. After checking with most shops,it is confirmed to be the cam-shaft that needs to be replaced which requires overhaul;most shops quoted me $2-3k for a full overhaul.However,as a student,i cant afford such high repair cost.

 

so fortunately,or should i say unfortunately,found THIS shop which is willing to just repair for me whatever needs to be replaced at my budget.And i was amazed that they did the overhaul within 2days and called me up to collect the bike.

 

After i have collected the bike,i realized there are white smoke coming out from my exhaust.when clarified with the boss, 'after overhaul EO is everywhere in the engine,it will goes off in few days', he explained.However,after about two weeks,i realized there are still white smoke coming out from my exhaust,when i called to question,the boss said it is okay.

 

So while hoping that the white smoke will go away,i noticed no different but instead,more white smoke at times even when riding.so basically when i ride on the road its like any 2stroke bike with loads of smoke but the sound of a s4.

 

Went to THIS shop today to make some noise just now,regarding the white smoke.All he can tell me is 'ohh,think your piston ring koyak already'..The fact is that we agreed that he will change the whole set of the damaged cam shaft which include the piston,piston ring,2pins,etc.i even have a witness with me who was at the scene as well.However,he claimed that we only agreed to change the camshaft(rod).my first reaction was wtf cost me $XXXX just to change the rod?

 

Also,when my bike was sent in for overhaul,there isnt even any white smoke but only the sound of the damaged cam shaft.right after overhaul,i have another problem - white smoke.This kind of shop can trust?who knows they deliberately spoil my piston rings so i can go back to them and get cheated more?so after all,i wasnt very surprise they can actually overhaul a s4 with just 1.5days to be exact,given such quality.

 

So from my conclusion,DONT EVEN GO TO THIS SHOP,not even going there to replace a missing redundant screw,cos you never know how they can cheat you!

 

mind letting us know which bike shop so that we can prevent ourselves from being cheated?

1 thing bad abt racing footrest is that the rear brake is not as sensitive as stock. btw, just in case u guys dunno. actually racing footrest is illegal and LTA can summon u for 3 items.

 

1st - racing footrest itself is illegal

2nd - rear brake does not meet requirements

3rd - supposedly racing footrest does not have the tail light switch when rear brake is engage, it's just that those sold have the tail light switch attach

but most people say their rear brake with stock brake hose is not as sensitive as stock footrest after changing to racing footrest.

 

supposedly racing footrest does not come with brake light switch because it's not needed on the race track. due to the market demand, most racing footrest that are currently being sold are fitted with rear brake light switch. thus, when rear brake is engage, the tail light will light up.

Actually When I Changed To Racing Footrest, My Brake Hose Also Not As Sensitive. It Was Actually Because Once U Take Out The Hose, The Brake Pump Will Sumhow Lose The Pressure To Suck The Brake Fluid Therefore When U Press The Brake Lever, The Calipers Wont Move Much. So I Ask My Mech And He Keep On Pumping The Brake Lever And Loosening The Screws Of The Brake Hose To Make The Brake Fluid Move And In The End, Its Perfect. Maybe That One Just For My Bike Lorr I Guess? Diff Bikes Sumtimes Diff Situations. :)

I Think Its Just The Biting Point Lehh. Sumtimes U Dun Have To Clutch In Fully. If Clutch In Fully Cannot Change, Release The Clutch Abit Then Kick Down/Up. It Works For Mine. Not Sure About Urs. :)

Maybe not clutch plate?

Try put on mainstand and kick to 1st gear.

If the the wheels doesn't rotate while clutching in on 1st gear, your clutch plates should be fine.

When is the last time you service your bike?

Maybe its time to change your Engine Oil. :cheeky:
