[imported_Hed3sSbk3r]

Relax relax... there's one ex-gixxer from our group went down GH last time, to service carb...and mr chew dun even wanna help him service the carb coz he claims that the carb is not original... who wun be pissed? but lan lan lo..sux thumb.

 

s0metimes carb tuning realli depends on their mood which i dun realli like it lah...but i gian the cheap service of carb. My bike was tuned at GH...feels ok with it,altho not as power as b4 when i 1st got my bike,coz i ask mr chew i want to save petrol~! guess u need to be around when they are servicing ur bikey bah~

yap was really angry at tat moment n when ever i start my bike today.I guess bikers all got this kind of attitude ba.. when u'r riding a bike which is quite alrite.. after visiting a shop.. spent $ n return u a bad condition wan.. somemore throughout da journey home u'r playing along wif ur bike... tat kind of feeling really tulan sial.BTW he claim tat he did tuning for me but i found out tat 1 of da sparkplug connector wasnt even plug in da hole.. how can pple do tuning wif 3 sparkplugs ?Later i inform him abt it n he just say ' AIYAH U SCARE WE CHEAT U MEH ?'

 

hmm can anyone advise me wad to do ? Now this is 1 of da problem..

 

Anyone of u noe wads da problem wif this ? okie i set da idling at 1k/rpm. when i rev to 3k onwards n close throttle.. da arrow point to 0k/rpm n da sound like very very light.. almost engine dead tat kind of sound. Do u noe wads tat problem? ever occur tat?

Hey Shawn, if u are gg to K&T, lemme know... See if I can go down with you and let Clifford chk ur carb. At least I quite "sek" with him, can help u tok... Well, hope GH will fix up your bike and no need to go K&T lah...

 

Well, I did had some prob with my carb back then, he changed the float (something lidat, not too sure), svervice and tuned it. Was quite bad initially, but after a few days, things are ok... Not too sure if its the charac of GSXR carb, coz mine always off tune, then back to ok again after wacking it in Msia.

 

your prob sounds like improper tuning done, shd be able to rectify quite easily...

[Guest TheSquid]

think they no good at tuning?? then go somewhere else loh.

Ya lor.. must really stay down there whenever service bike liao. Jialat...today overslept think gh closing soon already.

 

roger: okok.. if later going i will give u a call.I also gotta go planet do abit of my chain n fix on damper.( free 1 kio tio ) . K&T quote me da price tuning $40 , washing $40. Totaly $80.But he advice tuning alone will be useless.

Open your carbs and you'll see alot of rust.

Then you open your fuel tank and see whether can find rust spots or not.

 

Normally when you "clear carbon" by opening the throttle wide open,

it'll somehow allow the rust that's clogging the jets to go into the chamber and

thus, somehow after doing that, your bike's jetting goes back to "normal" cos

not so much rust clogging the jets.

[Arcfire]

Gd luck to you which ever plave you are going to den!

 

Btw, got technincal question to ask,

 

How do we adjust the air/fuel ratio on our bike? issit done by looking at the equipment with 4 tubes with a ball inside it?(dunno wad its called) and turning a screw on the carb? Else, wad does that piece of equipment actually show?

 

Or does it have to be done by changing the jettings? still quite confused by all these terms.

[Shawn--]

Fmm from wad i noe ( not 100% sure wan ) Jetting tuning will run out after wacking ur bike in high rev or quite sometime... n for tat equipment u'r saying, its to set which of its fuel, air intake etc. Tune. As long as da 4 ball r in line at da middle range..means it was sset correctly.For adjusting must use screw driver n adjust.. then rev again n see tat equipment.. adjust... rev again. ( hehe.. this is wad i noe.. not comfirm correct wan )

 

 

Ehh i wanted to ask anyone of u interested in sharing to buy a REDLINE waterwetter( hightly recommended coolant ) n DIY flushing ur radiator n coolant sys ?? 1 bottle of waterwetter can treat up 2 18L of distilled water, which means 9 bikes.( each 2 L ). So anyone ? coz i might be joining a group of bandit in doing this.

as for the water wetter, are ya sure its 2ltr for each bike or rather a gk76a??

even if its really so, you'll still have to top up a bit of WW from time to time.

or dun u? :confused:

 

p.s why is ww a 'highly recommended coolant' har??

[Shawn--]

wah.. since when my font become so big ? okie.I apologise , i'm NOT SURE whether is 2L for g4.Just bringing up comment frm 1 of bandit rider.Aiyah.. earilier on should had put bracket ( not confirm ).Type in a way like too confident pple sure shoot wan...

 

 

As for da coolant.. u wanna noe why ?Go read at ( Hands on -> coolant )After reading i "Presume" ww is highly recommended.Another 1 is engine ice. As for me i would like to try ww ( nv use b4 ) together wif others. So like wad i say.. those who think i presume bei zhai wan.. then can give it a miss lor.. its up2u.I'm just jioing those who is interested to try on WW. 1 bottle not enuff for 9 bike ? then 2 bottle lor .. in da end also cheaper..

hmm..if i'm not wrong, the four balls in the tubes thing equipment (in it's called a manometer) is only used to show that the four carbs are balanced. Balanced as in the pressure in all four carbs are equal so that they operate/idle smoothly.

 

Adjusting the air fuel mixture is something foreign to me so no help there

i might be interested.....but diy to change coolant for our bike is no mean feat...considering that we still have to remove our oil tank just to reach the coolant cap..... Feel very leychey ah....

[Shawn--]

haha.. its okie i will help u remove it. i remove quite a number of time.Change sparkplugs , respray my tank etc...

 

 

If u wanna join in pls go naked bikes section bandit thread add in ur name n contact coz they'r going to DIY.. i'm joining along coz outside flush or wad need quite alot of $$. Learn to DIY is better.

but if you've really read thru ww's reviews, why do u still recommend Engine Ice,

another anti-freeze agent? thats the whole reason why we wanna use WW in the

first place. contradicting leh ur statements.

anyways, would advice u to get a bottle for urself or share with just 1 or 2 close friends.

why? coz you'll have to top up WW from time to time. btw, plannin to diy???

keep me in the loop can? would luv to pop by if i can.

cheers
