hi Fazli,

 

Thank you for your reply.

the heat is normal..if u wear slippers on a hot day ull feel ur feet like burning...thats normal...when u stop..try check whether ur fan is on or not by putting ur hand just beside the radiator..ull feel air blowing from inside..if its not on then the heat is within acceptable temp..

 

when the fan is on..its still acceptable..but just make sure ur engine doesnt go overheat..check ur coolant reserve regularly...

 

when ur engine is about to overheat,the temp indicator on ur meter will light up,u will feel hot as hell on ur bike..lastly..smoke will come out from ur engine...bang..

 

i hope what i said is true,coz its my opinion based on my last ride..SP..haha

Guys, wen i try to maintain speed i feel like my sprocket area got jerking.. But wen pick up speed dun feel it.. Is my chain loose or my front sprocket spoilt? My chain is oiled properly as im using scottoiler and d oil is still sufficient. How to determine if the slack is sufficient??

 

Yeah man.. Me too.. I oiled my chain using EO quite frequently leh. Anyone?

I remembered that when I first got my revo also got same problem... but after some time is either I grew numb to it or after first oil change the heat problem doesn't bother me too much... and I realized something nowsaday, when the tank is close to empty, the arch part near my balls are freaking hot! LOL... I need to sit away from the tank to prevent my balls from cooking...LOL... is it me only or you guys felt the same?

guys, hope you guys can help me out rectifying my s4 spec 1 problem.

 

yest night i rode from bn lay to pasir ris and then ltr to changi airport. when i was about to head back home, i turned on ignition and pressed the electric start but after the 2nd or 3rd time there was no more sound. my odometer and fuel gauge started blinking ( fuel gauge didnt go left to right which i know means going to no petrol).

 

then i had to push start the bike which it worked. i thought it was okayy so i continued the journey to cck. when i stop, the bike just died. had to push start again but this time the bike like no power even when i full throttle at gear 1 ( this happened a few times). it was moving less than 10km/h. so decided to stop cause i was afraid of hurting it further. tried push starting again, then it worked. once again died when i stopped at traffic light. -.-

 

now there's no sound when i press the electric start.

 

isit because of the starter carbon? battery? or anything else?

 

i had the totally same prob ~ last week , went to bike shop , mech said is rectifier and coil ~ i just changed it today ~ hopefully no more this kinda problem again but pocket 1 big hole >.

correct me if i am wrong, sweep twice should be low batt, need to change battery. if battery is new then your battery is not charging.
