i would check your throttle cable isnt holding the butterflies open and you are compensating with the mixture screws to lower the revs!

my jets are as std on one of my bikes and the other is jetted heavily!

Out of curiosity what filter are you running? standard or aftermarket (K&N)

The throttle cable aint holding to the butterfly valve, the rpm stays even I turn the handle left or right.

 

The bike is running fine in fact it was very powerful as commented by some who came and test my bike. Fuel consumption is normal at 260km+ then hit reserve.

 

I believe I have a smaller pilot jet size than standard, if I up the pilot jet by one size I would be at 1.5 turns out.

 

I am running on standard air filter.

 

By the way heard there is restrictor at the headers for G4? Is it true??

[stripes1976]

yes the headers are very restrctive. The collector and the balance pipes restrict the flow. The standard headers are good for 68hp but not beyond that!

This is my ex wife, had similar problem even after less than a month of servicing from guan hoe. Leaking from the same spot. Third carb from the left. First thing Mr Han asked me was did i go malaysia for petrol. Then told me dirty fuel or some rust from the fuel tank might clog up the carb causing the carb to leak. Didnt have that problem after that. But he advise me to install fuel filter.

 

My first servicing there when i just bought the bike was $400+. Subsequent visits were $300+ when i did valve clearance, cam tensioner, cam chain replacement and some other stuffs. As for K&T i nv go b4, no comments.

hello bro, thanks for the information. i will try to solve the problem then i will post back the details. for now i cannot ride it to the shop cuz it starts to leak immediately after i start engine. gg to tow it in instead. :giddy:

No, I have the filter on my bike bro.

But I wanna go stock. How much could i sell it off for?

Naz,

 

just something to note.

you may wanna hold on to yer K&N filter 1st while you try out the stock airfilter.

 

cos if the prev owner rejetted the carbs to suit the K&N, you may experience plug fouling whilst using the stock one. I experienced this...so switched back to K&N after using the stock filter cos was din wanna go thru the effort to rejet.

 

cheers,

donut

It's not necessary to put fuel filter as the fuel cork already has the filter inside the tank. Unless the fuel cork is leaking due to spoilt internal filter, otherwise juz leave it as it is.

hey,

 

brand new CDIs don come cheap.

Last time I asked, KS was selling new units in the range of $300+ to $400.

 

Your best alternative is to source for a second hand one. Tink some of the lads here may have spares.

 

Good luck!

My bike is looking like the one in the pic now with the remote reservoir at the side, very rare sight in sg, one rider was staring at my rear reservoir curiously just the other day.

 

Mine is P model, originally there wasn;t a remote rear shock, the shock was from the late katana750. I have to use plastic washer, sand down to the thickness I need, to fit in the shock nicely because the end of the shock is slightly wider than the original G4 shock.

 

Selling a red rear shock which fit G4 for $20, maybe from Aprillia 250 (there is some italian writing on the label), its very hard. Interested please msg me.

Hi Donut.

 

Thanks man. Yeap anticipating it. Planning to try change back to stock filter the when I service my carb soon, so at the same time can re-jet the boy back.

 

See how also, cos times are hard, $ seems invisible these days.

 

Furthermore, I just changed to a 15W-50 engine oil. Results in my bike has this sputtering sound, and mileage now before reserve is 180 instead of the usual 210. Crap man.. I hope things will be ok if i switch 10W-40.

 

Any of you experience this before?

 

And how do you know your sparkplugs need change? (other than touching the headers). Any tell tale signs?

 

Replies damn appreciated now.

take the plugs out and check them. check the colour the gap and the electrode condition!
