Rode for abt 9 mths liao, spent abt 1k which include cdi, clutch cable, servicing, new tires, 2 x full servicing(carb wash + seals and floats, airfilter, plugs engine oil etc), and etc i could not remember liao. Mostly wear and tear parts. Cannot expect much from a 10yrs old bike so its pretty fine. rather then u dun spent a single cent and suffer the fate of vehicle having problem every week/day or watever and getting yourself pissed off. So far, I very satisfied thou the amount i spent is not small, but at least i'm assured of the condition of my bike. Problem wise so far so good, for 2nd hand bike is more of like a game of luck. (machine price 2k + the 1k I'd spent) for a bike like my baby and I'm enjoying my ride. I always rem this sentence, U pay peanuts u get monkey so tt's the rational behind it.

Hi folks.

 

How do u know if ur rear shock absorber is a goner?

 

I've never sat on a sportsbike prior to getting this G4 so really can't gauge.

 

I kinda bang bang my backside on the seat but somehow like no rebound? Is that because of settings or because it needs rebuilding?

 

And where is the choke leh?

 

I poke poke my finger inside the carb here and there until finger all black black but no choke leh?

 

U guys change ur battery every year? What are the symptoms that a battery is gonna get whacked soon?

 

Ok I know.. I kept asking about battery issues..

How to gauge rear shock is a goner?

 

a. Oil leaking

b. Air leaking (N/A for G4)

c. Shock is not cushioning the road imperfections as intended.

d. Adnormal rear shock noise

 

For the original G4 shock, only the preload is adjustable. Not sure if it is rebound adjustable. Check your shock to confirm.

 

The choke activation mechanism is on the left hand swtich, attached to a cable connected to the carburetor choke pulley mechanism. Check to see if you have the cable or not.

 

Mine was removed when I got the bike, it was tune slightly rich so choke is not required to start the bike when cold, because the tab to hold the end of the cable has broken off, which is common for most G4 because its made of hard plastic. Unlike the bandit 400 and my gsxr750wp which use metal.

 

I bought a used choke cable and connected it to the left side switch then secure the end of the cable to the remaining of the broken tab on the carb with cable tie, it worked as it used to be. Later I'm gona to use hard wire to secure the cable to the carb, instead of cable tie so I dun need to cut the cable tie everytime I take out the carb for cleaning.

 

For the battery, check once a while its holding charge at 12.5V, just stick a multimeter on the terminals when bike is not running. If its lesser, take it out and check if the battery has bloated or deform externally if not bring to shop and charge up and monitor for a few days if its holding charge. If battery casing has deformed or its not holding charge time to change new battery.

Ferrous: After some description, i think i got the wrong thing liao. Wat i was referring is the 2 circular metal tt hold on to the air intake vent that is mount to the frame, as for the clamps that cover the carb, mine dun have leh. How? anything to fix tt?

Those clamps look pretty normal, tink can get at neighborhood hardware shops and jus clamp onto ur bike urself ba

[fooz]

congrats to the lucky one.

$450.. wow...

haha yupz...i nvr did own one in fact..haha was jus the sub-rider for the friend who own the zx4, then rode it for one week helping him do some servicing while he waiting for his 2A TP

 

haha that week was the week i rode alot cos took turns giving attention to both rides, riding my own g4 and his zx4 to kip both battery charged up

 

...once he passed and servicing done, passed the bike back to him

[TnT]

hmm....then which bike more power.....as last time i hear that zx400r can overrun a gsxr400r.....
