Btw I juz bought a super 4 vrsion R 3 months ago.Its COE renew till 2015,insurance $330.88 (F&T). Monthly instalment : $166.60 x 24months,amounting to $3998.40.Is it seems expensive or the right price???

hi,

i bought my FR Version S last sep at 2.8k frm private seller. COE till 2009,COE not yet renew. Insurance mitsu,3rd party only($350).

 

Bike sound cheap but was in a miserable state...lots of tear and wear to replace...

 

1) handle bar(bent)

2) balancers(missin)

3) tires(Harden)

4) chains and spocket(canot make it)

5) respray(paint work gone)

6) seat rewrap(old one got holes)

7) valve clearence

8) magnetic coil(not chargin enuff power,batt keep getting flat)

9) block gasket(engine oil leaking)

10) timing chain(the tick tick sound everybody's complaining)

and more,forgot some of the things.

Total up : +/- $1500

[Navdeep86]

that timing sound is there any way to improve it mine also got that BOMB TICKING SOUND LOL

[superpig4]

to : sino74

actually i service my bike at lots of places...normal service like EO changed,i go to Chai Fatt at serangoon road,engine servicing...i go to AMK Autopoint...

 

My fuel consumption full tank+reserve is 420km...but only have this milege once,thats was when i ride to anyway,max speed 85~90km/h.

 

Now think canot liao..cos i notice the RPM is not stable...moving up and down little by little...moreover,now i running on CBR L model pipe..more fuel consumption...but the sound...shiok!

 

to : noBody

Man,i can actually feel your suffering...i am also hoping nothing will go wrong with my bike anytime after spending so much money and time. Anyway,did u actually bought a brand new CDI or 2nd ones?? Dun buy ahboy's belly pan,have time go to motorworld see see..i think their belly nicer..but no sure can fix on our bike or not...

 

to : Navdeep86

Hi there,there are many possibilities that cause the tick tick sound. common heard are timin chain and valves. anyway,i dun think the tick tick sound will cause any harm... btw,i had change my timin chain and done up my valves settings last year. indeed the tick tick sound was greatly reduce...and suggest by the mehanic to warm up the bike before moving off so as to reduce the chance of the tick tick sound cuming back. But sad to say,i often starts and go cos sometime wake up late and have to rush for work..now i think the tick tick sound is cuming back but not so loud lor...

[noBody]

ya bro superpig4...

haha

i getting the crashbar n bellypan from motorworld... look so nice sia the crashbar... hahaha

 

btw..

how much u spend on ur timing chain n valve?

sianz.. cant slp..

greeting to all ver r/ ver s bro

 

read some of e previous posts regarding FC ...... i tht all older version s4..... pb1, ver r, ver s

 

should hav no problem reaching beyond 400km for FC regardless stock or aftermarket pipe(coz no vtec), thk mayb u all calculate e FC wrongly..... last time when i jus got e bike i oso tht my fc onli 320km den..... to 370km..... now 430km(incl reserve) . some bro can clock till 485km.....

 

pls dun trust e fuel guage, its not accurate. use total milage clocked divide by amt of fuel pumped..... hope tis helps...

 

BTW im riding a ver s....

[jt9d]

btw wad is valve clearance used for??? any symptoms ??

[3xodus]

Hi all, a motorshop quoted me $x for an s4.

He then add a 5% gst while doing the final calculation.

 

Is this normal or a trick of chopping ppl.. ?
