hi ah pek, LONG TIME NO SEE.haha.

 

time for EO change,when will you be free?

thanks in advance

 

Hi buddy..anytime when you are ready. Tomorrow or this weekend oso can:cheeky: Can just sms me the timing. One poster here last week came and since his last change was at 30k!...LOL!..the used eo was still very slippery

[Ah Pek]

wah hanxx

 

thought you just recently change your EO and do grounding? u everyday ride NSHW? haha

 

just joking ah

 

still havent done my grounding yet...no $$$

 

hari raya coming and just only changed my tyres cause the back one botak already but changed both but still keeping the front one in case kena nail or punctured....

 

LOL!...can't imagine how you tong_pang your 'spare' tyre home. Anyway, for tubless tyre..even if you have a nail in it..don't pill out. Can go nearest kiosk and pump up to 290 and still can ride around for at leasta week or two..if its just a normal nail. Worm patch takes about 10 - 15 mins in a bike shop and cost about $5.

 

The next time you see me..will get u your magnet.

Yah...that's right. LAB workmanship is really F***-tup! Be sure to go to a shop that has the tyre changing machine. $195 at Unique is a good price for Arrowmax..Ban Hong is at $200.

So far no returning ppl does such to me lah. They are back because they have the confidence in how I can help..and of course, they stuff they tried are working for them. definitely I will take care of thier need and have my utmost ..works both ways.

 

The flicker minded, doubtful and and have no confidence in me are the one I care less.

anyone riding non-vtec s4 using rear sprocket smaller than stock (42t)? e.g. 40t?

im using 42t on my verS and i feel tat there's more power (or should i say torque) 'available' even when i high rev (at 6th gear) on North-Sth highway. and also i travel alot on expressway when commuting in s'pore and seldom pillion. any comments?

hmm bro im not sure what im using. but i just came back from nsw highway. 6 gear i full throttle clear meter 190. so how u know if u can go further? cause it climbs really slow.

Stay with 42..its just great for non-vtec. Anyway lower, I suspect that logically it be more sluggish at pick up from stand still no doubt you may have better and longer drag along the increasing rpm range as it climbs..but you be slow by then. Currently your setup is idea for the route you use.

 

For me, I do short run and occassional highways..am using 44t for the 'rush' and its great on non-vtec. For that longer drag, I compensate it by adjusting the chain slightly more slack..this way, I have a compromise of both.

Use X-1R...you climb up rpm very the fast!

[allenkey]

what i meant is tat if i used a smaller rear sprock, i could probably achieve the same desired cruising speed but reving on lower rpm... which in turn probably save some fuel... maybe?

thanks ah pek, btw... do u still hav anymore x1-r?

May be but likely not. By 2t less is helluvah lot ratio wise with regards to pwoer pull from the primary gear at 15t. When I say "sluggish", am also referring to fact that you do not have momentum in each gear change as the pull is heavy and more fuel may be used to reach the right momentum for the next gear transist.

Oh yes...these days I have to keep a few bottles standby..LOL!

thanks ah pek. btw, what is the stock size for front sprocket? 15t? i wanna confirm if im running on stock configuration.

[Ah Pek]

thanks ah pek. btw, what is the stock size for front sprocket? 15t? i wanna confirm if im running on stock configuration.

 

Yes...15t for all S4. Back for Vtech is 44t and non Vtec 42.

thanx for the prompt reply... we non-vtec riders must be glad that we have ah pek manning the "helpline"

[allenkey]

questions frm me again...

 

i was at kuantan last sun when my headlight failed (no high beam as well so i figured fuse blew or connection loose) i stopped at petrol station and checked... yes, 1pc of blown 10amp fuse. i had ridden quite hard for abt 1000km prior to that (in 2days). aft replacing the fuse, i continued my journey home with another 500km... so far nothing went wrong again.

 

wat could hav cause a fuse to blow? electrical spike from somewhere? is a blown fuse a sign of worse thing to come?

Should be ok lah. Depending on how the bike is riden and what type of eo you used. Change is between 3k to 5k interval.

I can't say much just by reading your post. You think you can come over sometime like this weekend? Have to look at the bike and asked what you did recently.
