1st qn, when's the last time u changed the air filter? chances r air filter is either wet or dirty...

2nd qn, it's normal, unless u willing to spend on new clutch relay and plates

3rd qn, the oil light shows that there's no oil in the engine, however once u start the engine, the oil will flow into your engine, thus no light when engine is started.

I juz bought the Bike so i'm not sure abt the Air Filter... But thanks Dude will get it Changed soon...

Er i dun think the filter got to do with the difficult to start prob.

 

1. When was the last carb washing done?

2. when u park ur bike in the rain, cos its an old bike the water will seep around the spark plug socket. when water gets in or the socket is moist, its dfficult to start. I suggest either u change ur cables or u park it out of the rain at least with a good canvas perhaps. Worn out canvas will allow water to seep in too.

R u refering 2 the SparkPlug Cables

dude, I don't think he mention abt the problem starting the engine, it's only after 5mins whereby his engine will die when kick down to gear 1 after rain. I experienced the same problem. Take out air filter and check whether it's dirty/wet or not. For my case, nv experience any problem like thaat after changing to a new air filter arbo it's either clutch cable going to kaput liao which is unlikely.

Air Filter if i change how much $ ah ???

For full Service $$$ ???

Thankz...

Greetings Gixxers! I'll be getting my 2A soon & i'm torn between 3 bikes: G4 (cheap but old), Hurricane (some say its more reliable but terribly ugly) & FBlade (very ex). I've been riding TZM for 4yrs plus til now, reluctant to upgrade til recently. Please enlighten me oh Experienced Ones...

[Addictive]

SpiritualRain13: Original from KS is $38/= alternatively(use abt 10k can throw away liao unless still clean). ORRRR U can try K&N which I've no idea how much it will cost for a brand new one. 100? I guess, if got 2nd hand I also quite keen to get 1. haha

 

 

DeViLiSh: I dunno wat exactly r u looking for, but from what I see, I guess u r looking for a budget 400cc machine. Since this is a G4 thread, of coz me or the co. here will more or less recommend u to get g4 as we r g4 or ex=g4 riders. Pricewise, this COE bike is definitely worth for it's power. Maintenance, wear and tear issues are inevitable. Same goes for all bikes that is ard 8 to >10yrs. I can see Hurricane is slightly older, latest with the FJ plate. Take your time to choose a good conditioned machine loh. It's a gamble u willing to bet and the personal passion at the end of the day.

[SpiritualRain13]

Addictive u've been of a great Help 2 me Bro...

Thank u very much Dude...

Small problem, just change to new plug caps to prevent water from sipping into the spark plugs. It can be a b!tch when water sip into the spark plugs when the rubber are worn out.

 

So most often, u have problem starting bike after rain.. Reason is As old plug caps, which is made of rubber, tends to wear out overtime and wear and tear due whenever whenever u need to take out and change the spark plugs over the years

[SpiritualRain13]

Ohh

ThankZ...

Cables inclusive of socket of the spark plug.. sorry i wasn't clear enuf for u... It is normal for water to be gathered ard the spark plug socket under the rain, but usaully it should dry up after a while.. jus difficult to start..

according to my previous mech, he was telling me that the wire cost $20, Socket head cost $30, Rubber cover $15 for each cable. Excl of workmanship.

 

However, Shawn did tell me Planet got sell a set for $40.. dunno new or old. And dunno if its even Racing or jus Normal look alike... Perhaps Shawn can give more info.

if u consider blade ex then get G4...

 

i think hurricane not worth it la... old sia...

 

if gt $$ maybe u can try get blade ... gt nicer parts (swingarm n radiator )

 

seriously G4 not problematic leh ... unless u go racing everyday then old horse will die la...

 

so far i only do basic maintance ... the only problem i facing is my brake rotor which vibrates...

Guys thinking of getting a gsxr400 soon but there are some questions..

 

1) is the parts for this bike EX?

actually to get 2nd hand parts to get it to work isnt reli that ex...

 

but if u wan 1st hand parts to replace ur faulty ones, it will put a hole in ur pocket

Parts are very readily available both brand new and 2nd hand though...tink its a case of cheap to get the bike working, but u nid more spare cash to restore it to tip-top

(less than RVF and CBR or ZX4)
