[Discussion] Super Four General Enquiry Thread

OMG. I just did servicing the other day and today when I came home to park my bike, the moment I off engine and got off the bike I heard like boiling sounds near the right side (should be engine oil?) And then what shocked me is liquid started splashing out!! Damn scary!

 

I am quite sure is engine oil because it was kinda sticky. But cannot confirm because I never really see where it got splashed out from. Temp light did not light up, I checked the coolant, level was way above the "Upper" line (almost filled the whole tank), colour was only a little bluish. Is it because top up too much coolant??

 

 

edit: After reading up, seems to be a coolant/overheating problem? But I did open up to check, coolant level still full, colour still bluish... Does this mean the coolant hose inside rust already?

Coolant level must lie between upper and lower marks

My bike once in awhile tends to drop gear while accelerating hard e.g. 6th to 5th gear. Signs of clutch wear?

 

It doesn't happen often though.

Hi Guys,

 

Im currently riding a super 4 spec 3 and am facing a problem with my HISS ignition. My key happened to broke into half this past weekend. However, the disconcerting thing is that my bike has no HISS light blinking after that. Does that mean my ignition starter is spoilt? Can I just try to make a duplicate of the key?

Hi guys, i just got a super 4 and i discovered a gash/cut at my rear tyre. It is about 1cm in length and as deep as the threads at most.

 

What can i do about it? Is it recommended I change the rear tyre only to prevent it from getting bigger?

Hi Everyone,

 

I need advice. While I was riding my super 4 spec 2 few hours ago. Suddenly my speedometer's light & meter went off. Headlight was on but signal lights left & right fails. It just like black out. Funny part is I still can ride (but don know the speed at all) & also found out that the HISS's light do blink every few seconds.

 

I'm very worry whether is the Honda system's faulty or is just a wiring problem due to washing the bike.

 

Need advice..

Depends on whether u tryin top speed or not... If u are, if u throttle and no response, high chance it's your piston seized or your cdi shorted cos of the high rpm... If not it's most probably the wiring contact loosened causing the lights to go out... Also possible your cdi need to replace soon...

Dunno why electrical problems is a trademark for Honda bikes.

Yesterday, I parked my bike at an open car park from early afternoon till night time. It was raining around evening time and the rain was quite heavy.

 

After the rain stopped, I started my bike and I heard a weird noise coming out from the left side of my bike. It sounds like there were sands grinding inside. I can't really pinpoint which part but the noise was quite noticeable.

 

I thought it was because the bike hasn't warmed up yet so I twist and hold throttle(to 2RPM) for a few seconds.

 

I then noticed that my bike wasn't charging like it should. My coil was less than a year old.

 

I waited for a while but the bike still wasn't charging then I decided to ride it back home first.

 

After riding for 5 minutes, I stopped at a traffic light and was trying to listen if the noise was still around.

 

Amazingly, the noise was gone and my voltmeter shows that the charging is back to normal!

 

What could have happened? Water went into the alternator ?????

 

I am riding a spec 1.

 

Please advise. Thank yoooooooooooou!

Hey Bro,

 

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your advice. Lucky it was the fuse & wiring problems.

Hmm... This I not very sure... But temperature rise alot, got possibility your coolant seal broke and the coolant mixed with your engine oil... U can check your engine oil and see what color?

Dear all Cb400 riders!

 

I have imported a CB400SF in Europe, and I am trying to homologate it in order to be allowed to ride in Europe however I have some issue concerning the Headlight. I was wondering if anyone could help me.

 

The CB400SF is sold only in left-hand driving country (Japan, Australia and Singapore) however in Europe we drive on the Right side (right-hand driving). Does anyone know if the headlight of the CB400SF is symmetrical OR if the headlight direction is for a Left-hand driving country ?

 

Also this is a less important issue, but the headlight does not have a "E" making label on it ("E" circled)... however there is a "DOT" marking. Can anyone confirm this ?

 

Thanks

I'm troubleshooting my charging system. Seems that it's not right.

What's the problem here? Battery fully charged. Coil replaced six months ago.

 

Battery at rest - 12.67V

Ignition on - 12.3V

Idling at 1300rpm - 12.1~12.2V

4-5000rpm - 12.8~12.9V

 

Checked with multimeter.
