your bike meter self test one more time, the bike shop ask to replace the battery.

Did u wait for self test stop than u igniter start your bike..

 

Ya,it's aft 1st initialize done.

Not NECESSARY the coil problem...COULD just be the rectifier or the rectifier connector (tends to burn out due to high current). Have the rectifier change first and check for charging voltage first..read 13.5-14.2v boleh liao. Most bike shop take advantage of such situation..and btw, ur old battery could have been ok..just recharge.

Thks, Ah Pek, will try the different bike shop for the rectifier check.

hello guys, my S4 is starting to have this problem. when i engage the first gear and slowly release the clutch, there'll be this "loose metal part" sound coming out from my engine, i think. cause i checked for any loose parts, but there arent any. so i assume the sound comes from the engine. anyone experiencing the same problem??

If you havent done top servicing( change timing chain, tensioner, gasket etc) its about time. IF your bike moves smoothly after that ah. If while riding very unstable, best is to get it checked first.

I think it really depend on which inspection centre you go and your luck. The previous owner of my bike claimed he went for inspection with a leo vince muffler which is not certified for his bike and he just showed the guy the old cert from the previous owner of the end can for another bike and yet no problem.but they did make noise about his led trail signal light and want him to get it changed to stock before the next annual inspection. So you can't say whether you will definitely kena or pass easily. But I think changing all 4 signal light maybe a bit too much

Hi guys, S4 newbie here. Need some help on various issues with my bike. Im currently riding Vtec2 and below are some of the issues i face.

 

1) My Digital Speedometer is not working as in the indicators are all visible but as my fuel is being consumed, it does not change the bars. The time is also wrong. Mech says need to use computer to repair. true? $$$

 

2) I recently change my spark plug to iridium powered denso spark plug as recommended by my mech for better performance. After some time when i throttle, i hear what sounds like a ignition sound, u know when u try to start an electric bike u get the electric sound. it sounds like that. Could it be the new spark plug or is it something else? or is it normal to hear that sound as im imagining too much.

 

Total damage since i got my 2nd hand bike from a so called famous dealer in serangoon rd.

 

1)Lost bike key>no spare key>new cdi = $570

2)Carb tuning&washing>seems one screw was broken inside>mech changed all 4x$10=$40>somehow=$200

 

I think overall, i have been makan big time since im a newbie. I hope the S4 family here can guide me into better managing my problems and pointing me to the correct source so that i dun waste money unnecessarily again.

 

Sorry for the long msg, didn't wanna open too many thread. Thanks guys.. Pls help...

 

Guys, i found a solution for (2). The problem was with the spark plug. The old mech put in 4x sparkplug meant for susuki sports bike. So what happen was the spark plg did not sit in properly cos it did not have the design meant for S4 bike. S4 sparkplug has a kind of shape at the bottom that will sit nicely when you fit it in. (i bet some do not know that), so pls be careful when you change your spark plug.

 

Oh by the way it has got nothing to do with the electric sound. That sound it common coming from the spocket. Like i mentioned, i think too much. But the problem did not end here. While the new mech insert the new spark plug and start the bike, it gave a funny sound. He then used a device and point at the exhaust and found out that 2 of it was giving a different temperature, 30+ degrees while the other 2 was showing 100+degrees. Upon tracing the bike, he found out that some of the carbon from the prvious sparkplug actually got stuck in the valve while he was removing it and it caused 2 of the coils to burn out. He changed to a 2nd hand coil and the bike started properly again.

 

Another $400 damage(had to open up my engine) but the shop absorb $200. All this because my stupid previous mech recommend a wrong spark plug. So PLS BEWARE. Lets all learn from each others mistakes.

Did rectifier change，installed a voltage meter, now no charging problem already, tks.

[cwmike21]

I change battery b'coz when the igniter start, the meter self test one more time, therefore the bike shop ask to replace the battery.

 

I got same prob too. Did grounding but prob come few days later. Check wit another shop found out that my alarm connect to e ignit fuse there thus short circuit my wiring. That's what e mech says. Then remove e alarm change a fuse then ok liao

Sorry bros, not sure if this is off topic - I would like to buy a Super Four but my budget is about $4k. Can anyone offer me any advice what version to get or any advice at all on what to look for? Thanks.

[indiewhispers]

I hear a creaking sound like those rusty spring sound when I go over hump. It seems to be coming from rear. Sometimes have sometimes don't.
