hmmm...i dun think it shld be expensive. cos i u can buy those normal tube from the hardware shop and try...i think its about 80cents per metre ba.

[Naz]

Bro, no offense. But do not buy the normal hose u get from hardware shops. They aren't chemical resistant. Will melt.

hey have u guys experienced inconsistent idling before?

like at rest (traffic light stops, etc), the idling will go from 1.5rpm to 2rpm down to 1.5 and 2..

I don't think it's stuck throttle.. what could be the problem.. hmm..

Do check your sparkplugs.

 

For me, when I have such a problem (which was like a LOT these two months), i know one plug is asleep in a wet and moist dark abyss...

[claurene]

"one plug is asleep in a wet and moist dark abyss" .. hmm...

 

X.X

 

hahaha.. thanks for answering guys. I just changed my plugs so that couldn't be it. I washed and re-tuned quite recently in December or January, so.. that is not it either?

 

Mech adjusted idling when I told him about the problem.. but it's abit too low now! only like what.. 0.25-0.5rpm now.. x.x is it alright? or should I adjust it higher a beeeeeet?

Hi afiqmufc86, first of all I would like to welcome you to the g4 company. Seems like we have some affiliations from the bikes we rode before. I did ride a rs125 for a couple of months as my first bike pior to my current gsxr400 rr model.

 

Now I shall answer your queries,

1) I would recommend ah beng at bikeworkz. I got my bike tuned 2 times by him. He does a good job on carb tuning.

2)I do experienced this high tone while travelling and I guess it's pretty normal especially on gear 5, 6. This exhaust roar sounds great during first 3 gears. IMO, real power kicks in after 100km/h.

3)As mentioned in the 1st ans. The only thing u need to do to this bike is to fix the necessary wear and tear parts bit by bit since it's over 10yrs old to avoid any unnecessary breakdown. Save enuff doughs to touch up, treat it well and u will not let you down.

 

If you have more enquires, find one day we can sit down for a chat and drink. Anyway we haf an outing to 2nd link for makan on the coming sat, 6th May, perhaps you would want to join us. Cheers and happy riding.

Hi can i check with u does ah beng rebuilt very old bikes? can u gimme his location and the number?

I have a very old 1989 sp model waiting to be rebuilt.

Does he charge over the norm?

Thanks.

[james phang]

sorry guys after i saw the post from why pay more i got the add and number for bikeworkz.

Thanks.

one plug sleepin in a wet abyss = ur plug is fouled and sleeping in a puddle of petrol on top of the cylinder head.

 

What I would do (I ain't an expert so don't quote me on this, please) is to really check if your four plugs are indeed firing. I had this problem whereby two of my plug cables aren't the conventional copper ones but fibrous instead (so called racing cables, that's a sham). Plug our the cable from the plug cable head and place it near ur body frame, start ur bike and see if there are sparks.

 

Alternatively, your carburettor is not properly balanced. Time for servicing it.

 

I purposely set the idling above 1K when my bike went haywire. Yeah, when all's good, u should set it between 0.5-0.7K rpm. But definitely not when ur idling is running crazily. When u are stopping at traffic light, it'll go below 0.25 and subsequently shuts off when the light turns green...

 

and that's where the fun starts of being gan cheong and such..

[polabears]

Well...it seems i found the rite webpage....i saw this nice gsz red i n color at bedok south ave.3....wondering if its owner is in this forum....licence plate...fg7773.....i think....Plus....me looking for a GSX too....anyone knows where they haf lotsa gsx ard....??

Pt 2. I purposely set the idling above 1K when my bike went haywire.

Pt 3. and that's where the fun starts of being gan cheong and such..

Regarding Pt 2, did you purposely set the idling high to prevent the bike from stalling? Or to test some other thing out? I would like to be able to distinguish between the plugs but sadly, even if they were Apples and Oranges, they would all look like Apples to me. Theory knowledge is worth nothing when there's no appropriate practical knowledge. Sigh.. and yes, that sentence is meant as a jab at myself lah.

 

And Pt 3.. talk about gan cheong man. Imagine just on that fateful few days back, I was stranded along the road shoulder of the expressway with no wallet, no handphone, nothing. Penniless, needing to pee urgently, stuck in the middle of practically nowhere, bike down. But it was quite an experience! Hahaha..

 

PS. actually, I thought there was some kinda hidden meaning in Pt 1 maaaaan. HAHAHA.. (think along the crooked path. x.x)
