Bike Model: Super4 Vtec 2

Topic: Removing Fuel Tank of a Vtec

 

Tools Needed:

1. Spanner to open the ONE Screw at the Tank

2. Allen Key to open the side panels

3. Long Nose Pliers

 

There are 3 Stages to this.

 

Stage 1 (Removal of screws and Nuts)

 

Step 1:

Remove Tank Nut using a suitable spanner.

Step 2:

Remove side panels using an allen key of the correct size.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank03.jpg

 

Pull out the side panels as shown.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank04.jpg

 

Do the same on the other side.

Stage 2 (Disconnecting hoses and gauges)

 

There are 4 items we need to disconnect before lifting the tank off the bike. They are:

 

1. Vaccuum Hose

2. Fuel Hose

3. Fuel Indicator

4. Overflow Hose

 

Step 3:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank06.jpg

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank07.jpg

 

Numbers 1 and 2 are on the left side. Remove them as indicated.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank08.jpg

 

Step 4:

Now go to the right side of the tank and lift up as shown. Parts 3 and 4 are located as shown.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank09.jpg

 

Step 5:

This is the fuel indicator.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank10.jpg

 

Simply plug it off each other.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank11.jpg

 

Step 6:

These are the overflow hoses. They should come off by themselves when you pull up the tank later on.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank12.jpg

 

Stage 3 (Removing the tank off the bike)

 

Step 7:

Pull the tank backwards as shown by the arrow.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank13.jpg

 

Then pull upwards.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank14.jpg

 

This is what it looks like after you've removed the tank.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/RemoveTank/Tank15.jpg

 

Congrats, now you have learnt how to remove your own tank. With this, you can:

 

1) Change your own Spark Plugs

 

2) Clean your air filter

 

3) Flush your coolant and top up new coolant

in case of server overheat, it will realease the excess pressure build up by the boiling water. Something like a pressure cooker release valve. Also, it is a direct way to top up coolant into the radiator after flushing or if the coolant level drops too much.

 

:thumb: great steps. From the title I thought you DIYed your VTEC to fit onto a non VTEC S4 (Ver S, P Big1, etc..) hahah

Big brother's watching...

http://yanuk.net/temps/led_ring_sil.jpg

To do list:

- Steel brake hoses (In progress...)

- Rewire bike

- Repaint fairing and clean up bike

- Replace exhaust system (DONE!)

Bike Model: Super4 Vtec 3

With thanks to draught for demonstrating this DIY

Topic: Changing Spark Plugs

 

Tools Needed:

1. Spark Plug Spanner (Every bike standard toolset should come with one)

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug4.jpg

2. Wrench to connect to the spark plug spanner

 

AOS (Appreciation of Situation)

 

There are four spark plug cables to remove in order to change the plugs.

It is strongly advised to do one plug at a time.

However, should more than one cable be removed at once, please take note how to differentiate which is the inner side and which is the outer one.

Look at the diagram below. The arrow is pointing to the cable which has an "ear" on top.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug1.jpg

This means this cable is from the inner side.

 

 

Instruction:

 

Step 1:

Using your fingers, pull out the spark plug cable at an angle as shown by the arrow.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug2.jpg

 

This is the view with the plug inside.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug3.jpg

 

Step 2:

Use the spark plug spanner, insert into the chamber and ensure the spanner gets a good hold of the plug.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug5.jpg

 

Then, using a wrench, turn anti-clockwise to unscrew the plug out.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug6.jpg

 

This is how it looks like when taken out.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug7.jpg

 

And this is how the chamber looks like when emptied.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug8.jpg

 

Step 3:

Remove the old plug from the spanner and put in a new one and fix back into the chamber.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug9.jpg

 

Step 4:

Once plug is screwed in firmly, insert back the spark plug cable and ensure is firmly secured.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/Azmanzz/DIY/SParkPlugs/Plug91.jpg

 

 

Repeat for all 4 plugs.

 

Now you can buy ur own plugs and install them on ur own! :thumb:

 

Hope the above information might help those really need them.

Point to note, replace the spark plug as soon as possible. And do not remove the spark plug any more times than it is absolutely necessary.

 

After removing the spark plug, the nice view you have inside is the combustion chamber, you don't want sand, dust, insects to fall inside.

 

It is good to clean the surrounding of the spark plug cable/engine before removing the cable. This will help lessen the possibility of any debris falling into the chamber.

It is also important to clear the plug area before removing the plug by blowing some compressed air. I normally use the "air gun" at workshops, but they do sell cans of compressed air used to clean computer parts at sim lim.

 

This is especially important, though some may argue that the plug caps do an efficient job of blocking particles from entering, there's always a slight posibility that particles do find their way in.
