any brothers here know how to fix the speedometer/?? my needle not working liaoz...!! not moving anymore!!

bro kiat, you remove the end part of the speedo cable from your speedo-meter. then lift up your front wheel, spin it, see the cable inside will move or not....

 

or.....remove the whole speedo cable, turn from any part of the cable, see the other end moving or not. If its the speedo-cable snap, you won't see the other end moving and when you pull the cable rite, it will came out half of the cable.

 

try this out to test, see is your speedo-cable spoilt or speedo-meter spoilt.

 

if the speedo-cable didn't snap rite, attach back to your speedo-meter and spin the other end of the speedo-cable. see your speedo-meter got move a bit bit or not.

 

a way to prolong your speedo-cable or and moving cables. Before you attach or fix back your cable, pour a bit of oil into your cable-line and play or fool around with it first...this will reduce the faction inside when the cable spin. and apply a bit of high v. bearing grease to each end part of the cable. clean the area you applying before apply with the bearing grease.

The speedometer itself rarely breaks. I'd place my bet on the speedo cable.

 

One troubleshooting tip I learned... always look at the simple (and cheap to fix) causes first and rule them out before suspecting fault with the more expensive parts.

a pair of com-set will cost abt 60-70. so 2 person share one, each will cost not more then $35

[Arcfire]

But wad is the range of the walkie talkie? and earpiece included? PTT or Voice activated?

[TnT]

Anyone know the rate for wash and tune of carb. and adjusting valve clearance for g4 over @ guanhoe or other workshop that have good service?

 

as well as changing of front & rear wheels bearing, steering cone bearing, front shocks oil & oil seals, battery, tyres, oil+oil filter change, spark plug change & anything that you know regarding g4 parts.

 

maybe and updated in here so that we can treat this as a refer post when anyone of us here need to know the pricing for these things.

 

thanks

I'm using denso spark plugs (U24ETR made in japan). I brought it @ LAB at $5 per price ($20 for 4). Last time i get a workshop (ghc @ tampines) to install for me is $8 per price ($32 for 4).

 

Copy from http://vstrom.info/cgi-bin/fom.cgi?_highli...ridium&file=221

 

My workshop manual says NGK CR8EK or DENSO U24ETR, which are both the twin gaps type.

This type of spark plug is said to work better under lean conditions, and for big displacements. Thus, it seems good to care for getting the correct type.
